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.

MultitrackStudio for iPad is an audio/MIDI multitrack recording app. It comes with many high quality audio effects including a guitar amp simulator.

New version 3.2
Old version 3.1
Release Notes • MIDI editors: you can now select a note by just tapping it (you no longer have to wait for the selector to pop up). Also applies to dots in automation/MIDI controller editors. • MIDI editors: notes being added are less likely to be covered by your finger. • MIDI editors: New 'Duration only' quantization type. The existing 'Full' en 'Keep Note Off' types have been renamed to 'Start and End' en 'Keep End'. • MIDI editors: Quantize resolution selector menu now has 'Type value' option which allows for entering tuplets. You can type '5 in 1/4' to quantize to quintuplets of 16th for example. • Score editor: vertical zooming now uses much smaller steps, this makes it more useful. • EQ: graph now has 6 colored dots, corresponding to the 6 EQ bands. Dots can be moved (the corresponding frequency and gain knobs will be adjusted accordingly). Dot movements can be recorded as automation (Pro Extension). • EQ can now show audio spectrum. The 'Spectrum' menu provides several settings. (Audio spectrum used to be displayed in the Master section only and you couldn't customize anything.) • An EQ effect in the Master section can now display a reference spectrum. A standard one is built-in, and you can extract the spectrum from audio files using the 'Import' option. • Master Limiter / Noise Gate: histogram 'curtain' movements can be recorded as automation (Pro Extension). • External MIDI Instrument windows: Patchmap selection is moved to options menu ('hamburger' button). The default patchmap can be selected there as well (was in Preferences pane). • Devices pane now has option to enable iOS measurement mode. • Added audio latency options of 128 and 64 frames. • SoundFont Player: better support for soundfonts with very large release times (like 'GeneralUser GS'). You need to import the soundfont again to benefit from the improvements. • AU compatibility improvements.
