Sir Sampleton is a sampling musical keyboard inspired by Casio and Yamaha samplers from the 80s.

New version 3.3.6
Old version 3.3.5
Release Notes This update should fix the noise issue when sampling on newer iOS devices. Please update your app rating if this fixes the issue for you. The problem was caused by either a bug or undocumented limitation in Apple's CoreAudio sample rate converter, which I have now bypassed. If anyone still has any issues, please post or email which device and version of iOS that you're using.
