Flip Sampler

Suture Sound Inc.

About this app

Flip is a sample-based mobile music studio that was designed for a fast and intuitive work flow. Import your own sounds, or record sounds directly with your device's microphone. As soon as you record a sound it’s available to be played on drum pads as well as being mapped across a keyboard. Sounds can be subtly shaped or entirely transformed using the built-in effects and easy-to-use editing tools.

You can record a quantized or unquantized performance on the pads or keyboard. There is also a full piano roll where you can enter and edit notes and velocities.

Record knob movements or draw automation by hand to bring even more life to your sounds. Every automation lane can also have its own independent length, for polymetric and generative music possibilities.

Create up to 16 different sections for your song and drag and drop them into any order to create your arrangement.

Mixing and mastering tools allow you to finish a full track without ever leaving your phone. You can export your full track, or hit the tape icon and record the live output of the app while you tweak anything on the fly. Both options allow you to capture individual track stems as well!

A performance page lets you trigger your patterns live while controlling a global filter, assignable pitch bends and reverb sends, and a random fill generator.

**********************************

Flip can play up to 144 samples at a time, so it's a very CPU-intensive app. We recommend new devices and Android 10 or higher to really have fun with the app.

Ratings and reviews

Update: when recording a new sample, it keeps the envelope, EQ, and of the previous one that can make it seem like it's recording static, but it's not! -- Sampler only records static. The comments below say to disable voice assistants, but that's just not acceptable. I shouldn't need to disable a code feature of my phone to use your app.

I REALLY want to give it 5 Stars. This app has an amazing price to content ratio with all of the things that it is capable of doing. With that being said, the transition to android seems to have created some issues. The biggest issue for me, and it does birderline ruin the app for me, is that when I come back to a project, or close and reopen it, one of the samples often starts repeatedly clippling/creating noise when clicked or played, despite it sounding fine just prior.

First off, great product that I've been waiting for since it came out for IPhone. I have a Samsung S10 and the app worked great for 15 minutes and then crashed my phone. Upon restart, I only hear a high pitched note when the app is open. It won't play the 4 bar beat I created. New Android release so I assume some bugs to work out.... Looking forward to some updates to work out the ghosts. Edit 11/17 -nice to see the team being super responsive & sending updates right after the release. Quality!
