iPad 1-shot sampler for dj sets

I’m looking for an iPad sampler to integrate with a CDJ setup to fire off 1-shot samples during my DJ sets. Bare-minimum requirements are iPad-only (no laptop controllers) and the ability to load my own samples. Being able to have multiple banks of samples would be a nice-to-have.

Anyone have a favorite? Perhaps there’s an MPC-style drum pad interface in your favorite iOS production suite that might do the trick?

best bet would be to google Ipad music apps

I’ve been down the google road. Too much noise and marketing/wares sites to find any actual info. I think my best bet is to ask here, where there are DJs that like to use new tech and talk about it.

I don’t know if this is what your looking for but check out touchable if you’ve got ableton and use your ipad to trigger ableton?

touchosc?

Ive used samplers on ipad before but its merely been with premade crap, touch osc and traktor would be best bet then use traktor samplers, thats what I used to do till the nanokontrol 2

Things like Touchable, TouchOSC and Griid are awesome, but I’m looking for something that can run solely on my iPad without a laptop.

I’m thinking the solution will be found in one of the many all-in-one production environments for iOS, but I’d like to avoid buying several of these relatively expensive apps to find the right sampler interface/functionality.

Ooh electrify i think its called is good for one shots if you set it up properly, i started to dabble with it, then decided on touchable with ableton.

Try FL Studio or Beatmaker. They’ll both run on their own and I think you can load you’re own samples into them.

Beatmaker looks like it might be just the thing! The first minute of this video,

show it doing exactly what I need for my DJ sets.

I just want a simple way to fire off vocal samples and sfx, perhaps run through my kaoss pad for some extra suace.

I’ll take a look at FL Studio as well…

Touch OSC Template

I produce templates for touchosc and I have a template that might do the trick, http://touchosc-templates.co.uk/?page_id=33

It might be a little more than you need but should do the trick.

How about iMaschine?

I’ve been really digging it. And you can upload your own wave files and such to it, and do a lot more with it.

Does iMaschine work on iPad?

Yes it work, with the zoomed interface but it’s still very good, I have it on iPad 1 16gb and its perfect! :slight_smile:
It’s really worth every peny :stuck_out_tongue:
