There’s potential, but still a work in progress.It’s a cool app, it emulates the legendary SP1200 workflow and sound pretty well. Get it if you really want that classic boom-bap sound from early 90s. Think Pete Rock, Large Professor, DJ Premier, etc. But be aware of it’s limitations. Like other comments have mention, it can be kind of buggy. For reference, I’m on an iPad Pro 10.5. There is a bit of latency with tapping on pads. Not a ton, but it’s noticeable. There’s also some sound dropping out when I try to play a pad over a sequenced loop. For example, I have a snare and hat looping and when I play a kick, the kick mutes my recorded snare and hat while I perform. On playback it sounds fine however. It makes sequencing a beat frustrating. It’s pretty bare-bone in terms of modern features. No Audiobus or AUv3 support. Also, make sure to save your project before closing the app as there is no auto-save option. Lastly, the workflow of an SP-1200 is kind of clunky. But that’s not the fault of the app developer. There are quick tips that help, but I found myself looking up how to use the app. Just mentioning this for new users who are used to modern iOS samplers like Koala or Samplr. I would wait to purchase this app until the developer updates some of software and audio issues. Or wait until the price drops. $14 is pretty steep when comparing it to Koala that is about $9 with all its upgrades..Kevin F. M.Version: 1.0.8

Needs more developmentApps is cool but needs more support, when can we expect the iOS version to have support for audio input?.ThadisradVersion: 1.1.2

Amazing!!Truly an achievement and a labour of love. I have a real SP1200 and I'd prefer to use this. It's not perfect but real SPs fetch over 5k and are super limited. This can be the future of the SP with so much more potential when it is refined. There is a soul to that machine and the workflow that inspires a sound and an approach and this captures that. People who say it's no good simply do not understand. This is a real production tool..DreinsteinVersion: 1.1.2

UnfinishedThe basic functions might work OK for some but it’s just too wonky for me..AnicktVersion: 1.0.9

Not complete but thx for droppingI agree with some other reviews i think they put it out useable but still needs work! I want to be able to assign midi Bluetooth too or learn function for controller assignment. will change my review after a few things are implemented/complete!.DJSUN1Version: 1.0.5

It’s coolBut not sure it’s ready yet. I’m not able to load a saved project, for example. Also, issues importing audio. Little disappointed at the prices to be a beta tester..Codowlsky PolopumusVersion: 1.0.1

DopeAfter playing with it for 30 min, this is nice. Don’t sleep. The lofi is nice, swing, ect.. I haven’t tried the export yet. If you are a true sp head, you will appreciate the app. It’s worth the $!.Zeek1911Version: 1.0.6

Dont Think Its DoneI Love The ‘experience’ but its lacking in obvious areas. so i wont harp on it. 3 weeks 2 updates, so its being worked on. once its finished its gonna be awesome..KingNukeTheRapperProducerVersion: 1.0.2

Just make sure you select NO when apple asks to use microphone audio!I previously left a no so good review BUT…..after I tried it and selected ‘no’ when asked to use microphone, I’m back exited about the app! The sound was always there imho but now I’ll map my Akai LPD8 for the perfect controller. Got my iPad boombaptized ;-) I’ll post some beats to my IG @dragonfly_bry.Dragonfly BryVersion: 1.0.7

ESPi Negative Reviews

Not worth buying. Many bugsI have requested a refund for this app due to having so many issues. The app freezes every time I record a sample. There is also latency when playing the pads. Also the screen glitches for some settings when I attempt to customize the interface. I had high hopes for this app but it feels like the developer is not patient enough to bring this app to a polished state but instead is trying to make a quick profit with a half baked app..New Age ProducerVersion: 1.0.9

Not readyMajor latency and when you change skins, everything freezes. Restarting didn’t unfreeze it. Had to uninstall and reinstall to get it working at it’s normal lagging latency. Refund requested..#Atilloreal2003Version: 1.0.7

I take back what I previously saidUnfortunately the app has not been working properly for some time now. I doubt that it’ll get any updates for newer M1/M2 iPad devices going forward. It’s a bummer but it is what it is...CippNippVersion: 1.1.2

I can’t save anythingI don’t have an issue with app’s performance. Been with eSPi since the launch BUT…It will not save. App just freezes. This makes it unusable on iPad for me..12 Bit MonkVersion: 1.1.2

Doesn’t work with Audio Interface IPad ProGet no sound out of my iRig only iPad speakers ..Emailed for support got No Response from developer..Laura Z 13Version: 1.0.8

Nothing worksI paid $13 and I can’t load a saved project. I can’t copy bars because when I hit yes to confirm, it changes the value. What this app will do is let you know if you want to invest 4grand for an actual SP1200. S2400 is definitely the way to go..Mr.Dodalina04Version: 1.0.2

Pretty buggy for a open releaseSome of the functions don’t seem to be here yet. This app has potential but for the intro price of 13.99 I feel a little robbed to be feeling like a beta tester. Hoping that the development keeps moving forward and keeps getting better.Tapes...Version: 1.0.5

LOL a Fxxxxkn JokeI have both of these versions on my iPad and on my computer This app is weak and just wrong the developer should have waited to clear things up with the US to get the patent for the real machine However its probably best this way They made some quick money that’s all The software version on my computer Lets not even talk about that and they don’t have any YouTube video to show how to map midi devices with the software Its a good thing I don’t have money issues BUT for those lookn to create and make beats who are start up beat makers Don’t waste your time just spend your money on apps like Beat maker 3 instead you wont be sorry this is A total waste for seasoned producer who are familiar with the Real deal hardware that this is suppose to emulate 4 Thumb down.Kool VideosVersion: 1.0.8
