This is SAMPLR | 8 Years of Excellence | haQ attaQ Docutorial

SAMPLR is without a doubt one of the most iconic iOS sampler apps out there! Not only did this excellent music app change the way that the iPad was looked at as an instrument, SAMPLR also inspired a lot of musicians to go mobile and make music with their iPads, while app developers where inspired to make new and interesting apps.
In this docutorial you’ll hear from Marcos Alonso himself about the development process behind SAMPLR and you’ll get to see and hear what this extremely versatile app can do.

[@JakobHaq]

I’m on vacation from this day and two weeks forward. After that I’ll resume my regular upload schedule. I won’t be answering any comments, emails, DMs during this period. I’ll just be enjoying time out in the woods and music. See y’all soon! 👊🏼

[@CarloalbertoRigo]

Jakob Haq enjoy your time🤘🤘🤘

[@devam2288]

Enjoy Jakob! Nice vid right here!

[@aikighost]

Great stuff. Do patterning next please :)

[@LeVi-mq1ok]

Ah bummer... but enjoy your solitude.. i can't wait to hear your thoughts on Cubasis 3 for Android!?!

[@spooky_zoo]

Have fun!

[@autecheee]

I love SAMPLR and it is the reason I purchased an iPad and still use one to this day. I’ve made many tracks and albums mainly using this app and all the intuitive features. I hope it is updated and doesn’t become obsolete due to further iOS updates.

[@TheChameleon2008]

i had this app for ages on my wishlist and now that the app is on sale for 5,99 euro have me bought it 5 minutes ago and cant wait to play with it.

[@tarqu1no39]

With regards to your closing comments Jakob, I watch dozens of YT music videos a week and am rarely interested enough to stick around for 40 minutes, but that was really well made and worth watching to the end. Also it was great to get an update on an app that many people had written off. I even scribbled down a very, for me, illuminating quote from Marcos that encapsulated some nagging thoughts I was having about my own music making. Great vid, cheers :)

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you very much for the feedback. I’m really happy that you enjoyed the video so much that you watch the whole thing. 💚💚💚

[@autecheee]

I hope Marcos comes to a +decision implementing SAMPLR for AUV3 and iPhone support and makes it a reality soon!!!

[@johndeggendorf7826]

This is a new age for electronic musicians...possibilities we only dreamed of in the days of the “founding fathers” (Moog, Oberheim...). Massive appreciation to thinkers and tinkerers like Marcos who envision and build these wacky and wonderful tools. Thanks Jakob for spotlighting the man behind the curtain. Awesome.

[@JakobHaq]

I am so grateful that there are so many amazing toolmakers out there. Marcos is definitely one of the best! 🔥

[@atomictraveller]

you see holmes my industry name is xoxos, i made physical models, algorithmic sequencers, covered just about every aspect of technology i could because my aim was to provide the public with contemporary tools for free. course, the rest of the industry are profit driven and masonic, so they destroy people like me. ove karlsen, one of the first free/egalitarian audio developers, no more source code from him because he was bullied out of the public. elan hickler, another brilliant synth designer you don't hear about. so the same for so many other talented, generous persons, so that profiteering masonic fuckheads can charge you for dogshit development (requiring lots and lots and lots of sample resources). yeah, he may be the best developer you ever heard of, because no one gives a single fuck for all the developers you never hear from, all the people who have tried to support public development so we are not dependant on $$$ payware tools. nowadays it doesn't matter if there are free tools or not because you will never hear about them. and that's why you talk about moog and oberheim, because elan, ove, myself and scores of other people can't compete with a public that demands to be ripped off and abused because it thinks lauding some big name piece of shit makes them sound famous. you know i even released a free phase vocoder/resynthesis engine, no one could give a fuck because its 32 bit and made by someone apart from u-he or NI. but, there's not enough time in th day to list all the things i've done while i wasn't getting any publicity.

[@johndeggendorf7826]

atomictraveller ...right on, brother. And, unfortunately, that’s probably true in every field. I often say that the best musicians around are people you will never hear, because of the way the industry operates, or because they forsake the industry altogether...because why bother. And what floats to the top...well, it might be Gaga. But I appreciate that the “instrument” builder is as important as the player...it’s symbiotic. Much respect from me, man. Thanks.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

I like this idea of loading the same sample and playing it differently using the 6 different modes 👌

[@JakobHaq]

It really is a great way of exploring any type of sample material. I’ve discovered many great sounds that way. 👊🏼

[@krazywabbit]

The reference to TE 🤣 I watched this video several months ago. I had not identified what my objective was. Come from iOS/macOS world and a lifetime listener of music. Dabbled in bedroom DJ and tried learning guitar and piano. Did I want to create music or just mess around. When I watched this video for the first time, it was all Greek to me. Now, after having messed around and learning more, including jumping into hardware, I actually “listened” to this video while walking the dog today. It makes sense. Not the app. Where my objective is. IOS is where I started my journey on Oct 21 with GarageBand. I’m a noodler loving to mess around. The immediacy and fun factor working with iOS. I was using the MPC Live and getting frustrated with it. Currently on the fence with keeping/selling. So I was looking for sampling alternative beyond Koala and one of your previous videos came up where you had Samplr as an honorable mention. I looked on the App Store and saw there was an update a few years back and thought, Jakob has to have an updated video. Boom, here I am. It’s starting to click. Thank you.

[@orpheusx]

Really enjoy these developer interview/app tutorial-like/review-y combos you do! Enjoy your vacation! Looking forward to your return!

[@TheMortyvicar]

My favourite app by far on ios. I even stopped updating my iPad for years in fear that the app wouldn’t work after an update 🤣. I was so pleased to see the recent Samplr update and so excited to hear that Marcos is still thinking of making this awesome app even better. Thanks for the video Jakob 😁

[@evesevere1465]

I remember my band mate gifting me this app the day it came out. I have hundreds of audio apps and beta test a bunch so he knew I was an addict! Perfect gift and great video!

[@JakobHaq]

Sounds like a great friend! 😊

[@kiqyou]

dude i dont even have an ios device, but i appreciate and love your videos.

[@pkbr8948]

Another brilliant vid. Samplr is an instrument that while simpl , you make the music. You need good raw materials and degree of skill and plenty of practice. The rewards are great.

[@unterwasserbeatboxer]

Wow, still finding APPs I didn't notice so far. Me oldtimer Musician just transforms into an uptodate-soundexplorer, understanding what happened to Music in the last decade...

[@Dogboy73]

Amazing App. Can’t believe it’s 8 years old! It doesn’t feel 8 years old. As fresh as ever today.

[@JakobHaq]

Some stuff are truly timeless and Samplr is like that for me too.

[@morganwebster6636]

Such a good one here brother. This is up there in my top favorites of yours. Really nice work and full of information. Crazy to see how much growth your videos have shown since number one. They’re all great and all possess watchability. Clearly you and your art in way of your tutorials and vids have been on a positive progression. I really appreciate what you’ve done. Cheers man. 💚⚡️⚡️⚡️🎛🎚

[@kabedford]

This was fascinating, Jakob! Thank you! I have been struggling to understand the app for some time, so this was just the thing! :)

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you and I’m happy that I can help in some way! 👊🏼

[@UntrueSounds]

Yes, I would love to get AUv3 support, and it doesnt feel a compromise for me. We will still have the standalone app, but can use within our DAW of choice. Cant wait til its happening :)

[@paradiddle16]

My favorite app by far. Pretty much a cleverly though out simple open-ended design. Absolutely fun turning found sound or recording anything with a mic and turn it into a piece of music! 10/10

[@Harrzack]

Better late than never….this vid taught me what Samplr can do, and just how little I understood the app!🤣 I have a whole new view & perspective and will def be trying all the things shown here. THANKS! 🍺🍺👍👍🤩

[@cacawachi]

Excellent series. You can understand the “behind the scenes” thinking of these apps...

[@ballardvibes]

Thanks for sharing info about this App. I’ve had it for some time but have never taken the time to understand it. Now I know more and look forward to doing more with it.

[@DoctorRevers]

Excellent. Thank you. An iPad classic. Cool that he did it all himself with no beta testers or anything.

[@BongoJak]

Thank you Jakob Haq for this awesome video!! I watched the whole thing and I learned a few things! most of it i figured out on my own or through the "help" button because the app is SO easy to understand! Thank you Marcos for an amazing APP!! I vote AUv3!! please and thank you!!! also midi mapping that record button would save lifes!! lol.. THANK YOU!!

[@stoneware]

Your videos got me into iOS music production way back when you mostly focused on Korg Gadget. (Still my favorite app). Turned me on to Borderlands Granular and now Samplr. Thanks so much for your efforts!

[@claytonchipper3874]

Great overview and interview! thanks for producing this

[@AmdisenAnders]

I have been using Samplr since it came out. And knowing that Marcos has ideas for future updates is amazing!!! It is honestly such at big part of my workflow that i was afraid a day would come when i could not install it anymore :O

[@russ8889]

Appreciate your time spent on this I have samplr but it never really clicked with me but with your explanation I'm going to give it some more time....enjoy your walk in the woods and hopefully by the time you get back I will have the hang of this app....it's about time

[@JakobHaq]

Have fun exploring Sampler!

[@charliemoody7168]

Superb job, sir! I won’t pretend I understand Samplr now, but you’ve ignited my interest. Enjoy your unplugged vacation!

[@velanche]

Well done: really enjoyed the video and hearing from the developer. Looking forward to your video on sampling using the app. Hope you enjoy your time away!

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you so much! 👊🏼

[@aptudo]

Your hard work on this shows. I watched it from start to finish and enjoyed everything: the music, the interview and the introduction to this powerful instrument. Congrats and thank you!

[@johnhowardnardine6815]

This is one of the most inspiring, among a whole slew of inspiring videos, that you have made. Your videos often feature the music you've made using the apps, but in this video, I think the music you made is especially inspired: really hits the perfect vibe or nerve, at least for me. I'm having so much fun with Tardigrain (which I learned about thanks to one of your videos), and it looks like Samplr adds a lot of creative possibilities over that. I look forward to your next, promised, video on Samplr to see how to get sounds into the app. Tack så mycket for your great work.

[@JoshuaDb_The_Witness]

Thanks for doing this - Samplr and Borderlands, both of which I think I got hip too in 2014-15, where the first apps that showed me what was possible with iOS as a serious instrument. Then I got side tracked with all the possibilities - as I did with my laptop production - getting so caught up in the tech that the creative - becomes an afterthought.... the I found KOALA - and that brought me back to my senses - limiting my choices - forcing me into creative problem solving - which always engages inspiration - and I had been waiting for so long for an update - but I sort of lost the thread - until this video - thanks for the suggestions - looking forward to the SAMPLR MEGA TUTORIAL EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

[@bernieburnalot]

Regardless to my criticism, you made an AWSOME video about this app, Jakob!! Thumbs up!! 🥰🥰

[@cwilson045]

Awesome in depth look. I don’t have Samplr but I’m going to look at getting it now

[@TheMortyvicar]

You won’t regret it 😁

[@technics005]

samplr is the best as always

[@joegrant413]

Great video! My vote would be to make in AUv3 version so that we can have the benefit of multiple instances, and insert this as an effect. I would be just fine with keeping it at the full UI footprint, if that is allowable when you make an AUv3 version.

[@rolandpyle8914]

I have dabbled with Samplr for a while: it is a fantastic app. Great video. Interesting to hear from the developer and really useful tips on "markers".

[@lgr6124]

I have to honest ,I have the app but I have not used much because I found it hard to understand and I just left it alone. I felt dum cuz I wasn't getting anywhere so I haven't touched it in months but I'm excited to start using it again and spending some time to learn how to use it .

[@more10]

Grym video! Dags att ta tillbaka iPaden från barnen för att återse Samplr! Ska testa och se om den lirar med Expert Sleepers ES-9.

[@iosmusicman]

I think you’ve invented a word there Jakob - “docutorial” which I like and I think you should keep it . Cheers. Lee

[@benjaminbrodie9801]

Jakob, excellent video! Found the story behind Samplr very interesting. Your video inspired me to purchase Samplr. Its a killer app and creative tool. Here's a drink to world peace!!

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

WOOT! Great video, Homie! Amazing editing on this! 🤗😁👊

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you bro! 👊🏼

[@ripabroadcast]

Bitwig 3 + an Ipad with samplr and few others and you're well sorted for years and years coming!

[@OrafuDa]

Another brilliant video. :) Because, yes, Samplr is very intuitive, but you explained the important per-mode settings that I couldn’t remember, and then you play Samplr to show us how it really works, and how to make it sound good! Very inspiring! :) About AUv3, yes, I want that too. And multiple outputs please, one per loaded sample, if I may ask. 😅 But I also want Audiobus (or even IAA), to play the standalone app through AUM (or some DAW). And to sample directly from other Audiobus (or IAA) apps. More than 6 samples loaded? Yes, please. :) Ok, I have to go and play some pads in the bow mode ... or to make granular stuff. 😊 Have a nice holiday, Jakob! :)

[@elipsis1]

Just purchased this! Great video

[@suburbanimal]

Really nice documentary. One thing I find striking about Samplr is the numerous similarities with the Octatrack (I have both) It's a lot more hands-on than the OT but in the end is lacking modulation, sequencing, editing capabilities. I'm guessing that it's a conscious choice of design to keep it a performance instrument. Still it would great to have a way to change the set of samples in a single project in order to have more part for a track

[@chicoaria]

Thank you so much for this amazing content. I love these docutorials and knowing the developer background. You are the best Jakob!

[@FrankLinnemann]

Pretty nice video buddy! Thanks a lot!

[@beatsinmotion5898]

Great video and channel! Thank you for doing this, Jakob

[@StaffanBerger]

Fasicken vilken bra video! Genomtänkt! Och så handlade den om min favorit-app. Tack Jacob!

[@JakobHaq]

Tack så mycket! Glad att du gillade resultatet! Denna var riktigt kull att göra också. 👊🏼

[@ThierryLalinne]

Brilliant! I'm amazed at the quality of your videos. Thank you for being awesome Jakob :-)

[@JakobHaq]

Thanks for all the years that you e been supporting me! Send regards from me and my better half to your lovely wife! 👊🏼

[@EnriquePage91]

Now that I think about it Marco would be the perfect guy to let apple know they should have NEVER abandoned 3D Touch... I will miss it forever 🥺

[@ericschurig8683]

Great video! in the same league as your epic Nanostudio 2 project, very informative and good stuff from Marcos Alonso. I really liked all your performances also, very inspiring! Thank you Jakob

[@JakobHaq]

I’m really happy that you enjoyed the result! Thanks for watching! 💚

[@domdib]

Some very cool jams to illustrate the different modes of using Samplr and a nicely balanced documentary.

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Jakob, amazing video... I use SAMPLR with my eurorack, especially with Morphagene and Mimiophon.

[@stefrance2]

Brilliant ! Both the App and the video. Thank's Jakob !

[@zetetick395]

One of the best ios music apps, long may it live! It deserves to continue (and grow) to be remembered as an all-time early 21c music creation classic, - I dearly hope it doesn't fall by the wayside, it'd be such a waste! There's nothing else like quite it! LONG LIVE *SAMPLR!* 😸 💖

[@tomtraxx2589]

Thank you so much for that awesome docutorial - it was a huge pleasure to watch it and get some insights about that iconic piece of app development - highly appreciated 👏🙏👍

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@JandeBloois1952]

Hello Jakob, what an amazing piece of software this is! I think this is the one you used the most on your moody album "My Mellow Album', which I like very much. I only use the iPad since 2018, but I 'discovered' GarageBand already in 2002, when I bought my first iMac. Before that my first 'meeting' with midi was with an Atari 1040ST and a copy of Cubase. A new world opened for me! Ik hope you continue to make this kind of movies.

[@JakobHaq]

Yeah, SAMPLR is really special in so many ways. However I never used it for my mellow album. That whole album was produced, mixed and mastered using Cubasis. . I talk about it in my Mellow Album Documentary kzbin.info/www/bejne/roGoaJWLoJqKiNk . There’s is also a live stream on my 2nd channel where I showed my viewers how I go about making that music. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKHNi5ijj9yJorc

[@howardmoscovitz9353]

This was one of your best videos, and I have seen a lot. A lot ? A lot. You have taught me a lot. Really.

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you so much for supporting me! 💚💚💚💚

[@davidthompson3022]

Thankyou for making that great video, I am feeling inspired now.

[@mindalteringfx316]

Love Samplr. Reactable is so cool too. Always wanted to try it.

[@AlvinYapVFX]

If you ever get a chance to visit Montreal, I'm pretty sure the science center has that on display. It was when i visited 3 years ago.

[@wasabifinessed]

I love your videos brother, samplr is one of my favorite apps for making music hands down, thanks for making a video about this awesome app!

[@JakobHaq]

It was a real pleasure making this one. Huge big up to Marcos for doing the interview!

[@MonitusMusic]

I love your channel!! Just filled my iPad of music apps thanks to you. Do you know of a good chord progressions MIDI generator app? Like the VST Scaler 2 or Captain Chords. These VST plugins have chord progressions in different styles (EDM, Jazz, House..) and in case of Captain Chord also articulations (like playing long chords or short, with triplets and so on). Is there in ipad something similar? I have Chordion but it is pretty basic and not even close to these VST plugins i mention

[@dafingaz]

Nice stuff man! May have to look into Samplr more!

[@Calverhall]

On the AUv3 question, which is the main reason I still haven’t brought Samplr, my feeling is in my AUv3 host of choice, AUM, you can have full screen. Perhaps it would work by splitting the top controls and the waveform half to two screens which can be toggled. But by double tapping the border you get a full screen version. Not to dissimilar to say Bram Bos’s Ruismaker Noir and Mononoke, or even recent versions of Audiodamage apps like Phosphor 3.

[@Steelichi9]

Thanks for the video. I just got Samplr and I’m wondering if you can trim samples that you record into Samplr? Is the only way to do it, is to Resample? I’ve been hoping for your video on the sampling aspects of Samplr. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

[@deepseadiver8191]

Excellent video!

[@NahTe53]

Thank you, and thank you for the great sonds in D1 too.

[@ralis]

OMG thank you, setting some quality time later to watch this with my full attention!

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure!

[@overseer_grimal]

Dear Santa... Please release AU3, Multiple Outputs and “Files” support

[@seazenbones6945]

You’re welcome. This video is much appreciated. I’m off to the app. store.

[@WhySoBroke]

Samplr es puro 🔥🔥🔥

[@ovidiodemorizi]

Once again . Good video . Sampler is cool

[@pipposgarage7598]

Thanks a lot Jakob for this review. Do you think is this the right sampler to couple with AUM and Riffer? Otherwise, thanks to your experience, wich one do you think could be the best, paired with those two? Thanks again!

[@pariaheep]

This app is insanely good! Wowsie!😋😝😶‍🌫

[@spacejack400]

Another epic deep-dive into an iOS music app. Beyond the useful information for musicians, I think it's great that you're creating these videos for the sake of history.

[@vincentprado6676]

Second time I watch this...amazing app and amazing content!!!

[@adekoyote]

Such a great episode! Riveting!

[@JakobHaq]

Im really happy that you liked it! 💚

[@TheAudioDabbler]

Amazing Job on this video. So much talent.

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you Mitch! 👊🏼

[@xgmode]

Samplr is cool, but e.g. recording the performance is a bit quirky at times. Recording 4 bars, but stopping it too late means it will do 8 bars and miss that means 12 bars. Precount sometimes isn’t done. Also, after all these years we still cannot record effect parameter performances. Thanks for this video, some things I never knew! The arp mode I love for techno stuff.

[@joeohagan1507]

Loved this, Samplr is such a prolific app yet I’ve never checked this one! Why? I don’t know. Can’t help but feel I’ve been missing out this whole time.

[@JakobHaq]

The you need to do something about that man! I think you’ll be able to fit Samplr into your set, easily! 👊🏼

[@glenallan6279]

This comment is totally out of context... but something you should think about coming up is that with Apple moving to OS11 and all iOS and iPad OS apps soon being able to run on the Mac, everything we are doing with music on the iPad can come to the Mac. This could be huge! And we can guess this will mean everything on the Mac can come to iPad as well. Everything just changed, a lot.

[@zydiz]

i would love it even if he just released the effects section as a AUv3 plugin, i just cant get enough of that delay and fm modulator thingy

[@dwpix]

nice job

[@mynewcolour]

I watched Mark Bell (RIP) and Bjork use Reactable. Does the instrument still exist? I want a go :)

[@pieslice]

Hope to hear an interview with Marek creator of koala sampler.

[@jonbirchartist]

Great video about a terrific app.

[@hArtyTruffle]

That’s simply beautiful. At this rate, I won’t have money left to eat 😏

[@macmoll]

26:56 The answer is YES! 🙏

[@jckinteriorsounddesign]

Looks like Output took a lot of inspiration from Samplr for their Arcade platform

[@joebowbeer]

What length sample is ideal? Samplr often tells me my sample length is not optimal, but it doesn't tell me what optimal is. Also, another question for your subsequent tutorials, what are those white circles floating around?

[@rossfenmore4366]

An excellently crafted video. It also helps to hear someone with musical talent playing Samplr. Very inspiring!

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you! 💚

[@gumonthepants]

19:58Nice Meat Beat Manifesto feel!

[@seazenbones6945]

Enjoy your time in the woods

[@toddmphoto]

How can I buy samplr? I looked on the App Store , don’t see it . Thanks

[@mnr5622]

Nice. Can I send what I have recorded into any DAW..?

[@Dt3kno]

Wow great music on 6.34.

[@LeVi-mq1ok]

HOLY SHIZzAA!?! CUBASIS 3 ON ANDROID??? WHAT!?! IM EXCITED BuT NERVOUS!?! Expectations are probably to HiGH for GooGLeY PLaY CuBaSiS 3 ANDRoiD shanannagins!?! Have you tried this yet???
