Description
SynthJacker is an autosampler for iOS. It automatically plays back a MIDI sequence with the notes and velocities you specify, and records the results into an audio file. It then slices the audio into individual sample files, ready to import into an iOS sampler app of your choice.
SynthJacker supports both internal instrument Audio Units (AUv3) and external hardware synths. Additionally, you can export a MIDI file with the desired notes and record a synth playing it back, then bring it to SynthJacker for slicing.
You can save presets of your sampling sessions, including the note range, velocity layers, and note durations. You can also apply post-processing to samples, to trim silence from them or normalize their level.
SynthJacker automatically names the resulting sample files with note and velocity information, so that they can easily be automapped by a sampler app. It also writes an SFZ file with sample information as regions and their root keys and velocity mapping. You will find the results in the iOS Files app, in the SynthJacker folder of your device.

Ratings and Reviews
Just needs an update on the timing aspect for 5stars
I would like the issue of the timing with auto recording to be fixed. That’s my main concern. Just simply auto record the notes exactly when key is pressed and stop recording once done, and that’s all. Every recording session something’s always wrong with the samples. It’s still worth 4stars, not bad. Adding an Auv3 fx host to a future update will be a bonus.
Automatic custom instruments!
Great tool. Easy and intuitive to use. Helpful manual on developer site. Like having Sample Robot for iOS. Just a few on screen settings then it automatically records a source instrument and slices the recording into samples conveniently named based on your settings.
Can use the samples in any appropriate sampler, or use the automatically generated instrument pre-set in samplers with SFZ support. Or convert the SFZ preset to SF2 soundfonts or other format with an appropriate tool. It also generates the sequence for the source instrument to play when making the sample recording. The handy, generated midi sequence and SFZ instrument definition preset files can be reused anywhere. Records plug-in instruments and external gear. Also has an audio file import feature to record from inter-app audio or any other sources.
Auto-Sample in IOS! Finally!
Solid improvements to make this so useful to feed AudioLayer, NS2 and more. I pick any AU app and have a clone of a preset in minutes in Audiolayer using the Name-Velocity-Note naming scheme (not SFZ).
Up to 5 second samples with 5 Layers are good for me to simulate the Pianos, flutes, strings, etc. I ran 9 Audiolayers using these instruments and could never have run 9 of the original Apps without crashing my DAW.
There’s some cool updates with Noise Floor, Normalize and I expect more to be coming as the developer finds potential users to capture.
I also used my Presonus audio interface to loop back the MIDI and audio and make sample sets of IAA Apps and an external Casio Synth too.
It’s great to do this without needing a Mac or PC. IOS comes into the make your own samples age. Too cool for words and priced to return a lot to the buyer.
