Still can’t get the sampler to work

Will upload this to five stores stars if you can get the output to play my samples the input seems to work but not the output… Perhaps a timely update is in order?Paid my money and can’t get the sampler to work....where did my previous review go?Yes I enable the microphone it shows on the input barn but I’m Palla back it does not play it’s something to do with the output

App Crash - edit

Update - The developer responded directly to the concern and rectified it immediately. One star review is now easily a 5 star review. The app is perfect.When you try to hit any of the sample buttons or make an attempt to record a sample, the app crashes. Not cool to $5 to not have access to the apps ultimate selling point.

Killer

I own an SK-1 and an SK-5 and this is legit. No more batteries! Also you can set the tempo. If I could have one wish it would be the ability to upload edited samples. Great app .

Something new

I haven’t tried the full app even though it could have possibilities. With what I tried I’m stuck with Will this app be worth it or just another app collecting gigabytes.

Amazing app.

I very seldom write reviews on here but I just really love this app. Sounds just like the old Casio samplers. The effects are great, too. It has some occasional glitches but it’s worth it.

Nostalgic Glory

Interface is both nostalgic and friendly... $4.99 is worth it to upgrade to all instruments and the ability to record. Recording is by far the best function. So handy.

Great Purposelessly Crap Sound

First of all I wanted to say that I own all the Fingerlab apps. I love them and the way that they are pretty much all different and useful in a large sea of music making applications, very cool and this is no different but...... Why is it that we cannot use the sampler and pads to be triggered and sequenced by midi? Seems like it would be an easy enough thing to implement? Maybe I’m wrong but if we could use those sampled sound sets, user created, it’d be freaking so great. That would make this thing so much more useable in my opinion. Maybe it’s because you guys are trying to make this SK as similar to the original piece of hardware? I don’t know but I would easily add one more star and would be thinking if I could, add a hundred more stars to the review. One way or another this little guy is fun and adds a very cool low bittish, purposely crappy dimension to some of my tracks. Love it but please kind devs make those pads midi accessible!

Free Ap doesnt let you try any useful features.

The free app is pretty useless without paying to upgrade. You cant even test out the most basic aspects of the sampling feature—the entire point of SK keyboards. So i wont be paying for that feature since I cant even test it out first. The full app may be great, for all I know, but this free version is garbage, since you cant even test out the sampling.

Amazing! Worth the 5 dollars

I love this app. I just got it and am playing it non stop. And one of the best parts is it’s only 5 dollars! You can change the sound and the tempo and you can record yourself. Get this app. You will be very happy. It is also very easy to use.

Suggestions From A Musician to Improve This Great App

This app is great, simply for allowing us to enjoy the features of the original Casio Sampling Keyboard without having to shell out the cash for an original hardware version. My suggestions for improving this app: 1) Allow the sample to play at the same speed regardless of pitch.2) Allow the ability to choose different attack envelopes for the type of sound the user is trying to achieve (especially pads).3) place more of the yellow trigger pads, like on the SK-5. 4) figure out a way to prevent the samples from clicking when they start over in “loop” mode.5)figure out a way to allow sounds to sustain.Otherwise, this is an app with a great future! Worth your time/ money.

Description

SK-51 is an all-in-one keyboard inspired by the Casio SK-1 (and his brother the SK-5), a 8-bit lo-fi keyboard from the 80’s, with sampling features and onboard drum machine. Called the poor man's sampler at the time, this keyboard was a real instrument and has been used by many major artists such as Fatboy Slim, Portishead, Autechre and Nine Inch Nails. As some of us at Fingerlab compose their first songs with it when they were kids in the eighties, we wanted to bring back to you this particular feeling from the past, so we created the SK-51.

We recorded all the instruments and drums notes, one by one with a professional audio quality (16bit/44KHz), we recreated the sampling features, and we transcribed all the demo drums patterns. We also added the sounds from the Casio VL-Tone, a keyboard older than the SK-1 but nevertheless famous. With its nice and true to life interface, many instruments (Trumpet, Flute, Piano, Vibraphone, …), 4 sampling slot and many drums patterns and sounds, the SK-51 is versatile and fun music tools. Record your voice, start the drum box, play a chord and you got it! Free version features: - 3 instruments (Flute I, Piano I, Trumpet) - 11 drums kit - 4 sampling slot - 6 drums pads - Drums pitch-bend ribbon - 3 demo drums patterns - Full Mixer - Audio Unit with all parameters exposed - Full Midi support - Midi mappings - AudioBus & Inter-App Audio support - Ableton Link support IAP Full version features: - 19 instruments (including Brass Ensemble, Vibraphone, Chorus and many more…) - 11 drums kit - 21 demo drums patterns - 5 FX: TubeAmp, Phaser, Delay, Reverb & Compressor - Live Recording We hope you’ll enjoy it! Stay tuned! Fingerlab Team
