Description

Flip is a sample-based mobile music studio that was designed for a fast and intuitive work flow. Import your own sounds via AirDrop or the Files app, or record sounds directly with your device's microphone or a connected iOS interface. 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.

Artist packs are available in-app at $3.99 or less, which include original sounds and projects from Andrew Huang, Cuckoo, Chuck Sutton, Kilamanzego, Pusher, and more on the way all the time.

Great App but iPhone 14 Pro, dynamic island covers the side menu

Think this is a great app, had hours of fun, I had upgraded to my iPhone 14 pro, seems this has not been optimised for that, as the dynamic island area covers some of the side menu navigation , making them unusable, if a change the orientation of the phone this then become available on the other side which is a real pain, could the dev team please confirm if this is not compatible with iPhone 14 pro, due to this, cheers

Decent but some other apps offer some essential features that this doesn’t seem to

Had great fun playing with this and is very feature rich, that said, For my personal workflow it was lacking a few things and I probably won’t reach for it again until they add some bits in... it would be great to be able to audition samples imported from my iPad files prior to loading them into the pads, there was A LOT of adding then replacing until I found the right sample. Time stretching and sample chop features are also an essential for me. I like adding in and working with tops loops for some added groove... I couldn’t work out a way to work with full loops (that would sync), only one shots... and finally, a longer loop region would be good but I can work with what they currently have as it makes you get a bit creative. LOVE the automation section and the way the whole thing works with touchscreen functionality. Fingers crossed there are some updates coming.

Great Sampler

Absolutely adore the app and think it could become something really amazing. The UI is incredibly intuitive, it just makes you want to make music.

I think at the moment the workflow isn’t ideal if you want to create a more layered song without bumping it elsewhere. The ability to create longer loops for melodies, or ability to record over multiple sections could allow for more dynamic music. Also different scale views on the keyboard (maybe similar to an abelton push) could better allow improvising melodies. I don’t actual know the api limitations, but keying in notes with an iPad keyboard could also be cool. In lieu of an actual synth engine, the ability to loop a sound or wave in the sampler could add a lot more melodic sounds.

Also as much as a pad system is more expressive, I think a sequencer would be useful just for things like adding hats and shakers. I don’t know what he hardware and software limitations are, but also the ability to create a separate drum track to sample over could streamline performance.

I hope this hasn’t seemed too negative or demanding as, in its current state, I think the app is amazing. I think it’s a couple features away from transforming an iPad into a proper music production tool :)
