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. Features: - 9 track sampler - 4 effects per track: Delay, Filter, Chorus, Bitcrush - Graphic EQ per track - Monophonic or up to 16-note polyphonic playback per sample - Adjustable pitch, volume, playback direction, sample start and stop points - Looping Envelope with forward, backward, both (ping pong) direction - 19 automatable parameters per track - Independent lengths for each automation lane - Automation can be recorded via knob movements or drawn by hand - Drum pad and keyboard input - Full piano roll with 10 octaves, note velocity, editing tools - Randomization over sample selection for quick inspiration - Randomization over note position to create surprising variations - Drag-and-drop song arrangement page - Global reverb with individual track sends - Mixing and mastering tools - Powerful performance features for creating instant fills, pitch shifts, reverb sends, and global low or high pass filtering - Export full track and stems - Live recording of performances - Metronome with tap tempo and swing/shuffle - Ableton Link integration for easy syncing with other devices over WiFi - Share projects and sounds via AirDrop, email, etc. - Undo and redo

  • Could be great if it weren’t so buggy

    By JoeyVFX
    I want to love this app. Typically it’s a great tool for improvising & sketching out melodies & percussion ideas. But there’s unfortunately too much inconsistency & bugs with sample recording. Half the time it works great - I hit the record button & hum a note or make some sort of drum sound with my mouth & flip automatically find the starting point. But more often it seems to just be latching onto a bit of noise (according to the waveform) or sometimes the waveform looks correct, but it just won’t play back my recording at all. Not sure if this is just a problem for me or if it’s a common occurrence. Other than that bug it’s usually a great & fun app.
  • Beautiful creative music App!, but.

    I love making beats on this software and messing with it on my computer, this is a seamless process of recording samples, to recording session, to saving to my iCloud, to editing software it’s amazingly simple. I would give it 5 stars but have a simple grape with the app now won’t let me upload things to it to use not sure why but gives me an error, but other then that I love this app I like restarting sample pads so it wasn’t to much of an inconvenience. I do have a update idea, have the option to maybe edit names of the pads page and also maybe have the option to change the colors of them. That would be amazing to helping me decipher my pads lol. But thanks for making a great app!
  • First DAW I bought when I got an iPad to produce music

    TL;DR don't rely on any one DAW especially this one that's still new. An apple pen might come in handy more than not. It's about the sampler for quick ideas and fun not detail but it's still handy.------------------- Inspired by Andrew Huang and excited to hear of his new app I bought the latest iPad mini (not sure if it's as good as his phone he uses for the videos) and thought it was very innovative and still do. My problem is making mistakes on the daw is troublesome to fix when the playlist sequencer is the most difficult to use out of my others (beatmaker 3 and cubasis, even GB). The metronome isn't working for me either and sometimes you can lose samples if not saved correctly in flip. Itd be nice to handle your notes in sequence without richocheting a bunch of copy pasta and then having to tirelessly undo them individually. New criticism: I made a beat with a similar name to another project I did a while back ( I'm lucky I finished exporting that beat into a song or this would be a lot angrier) and when I tried to rename the beat i did a while back whilst still being on the newer beat I made, flip app overwrote what I made with my older beat with the new beats contents. This is something I couldn't undo with the undo arrow. This app is too old to have some crap like this happening but I'm grateful I was proactive about that beat or I'd have literally destroyed it from a simple mistake. Cmon guys.
  • Updates and still not a good app

    So got a developer response to last review and the response was to delete a sample. Click click click click. Exactly my point it’s Not intuitive. I have to click down a bunch of menu diving to delete a sample. The developer didn’t listen to my review. They didn’t take anything to heart. They heard a criticism and shrugged it off. They should have listened to me and others saying we like the app it’s just not intuitive. Instead of blowing us off let’s make the app fun and useable. Below is my new updated review from 080123 I’ve had this app since day one. I keep up with all updates and truth is it’s just too complicated to get simple things done. Not a good app. Sounds good but UI is horrible. Such a waste. Also after new update tue pattern delete doesn’t work. And when I try to copy a pattern it won’t go to section I drag it but instead one Over from where I drag it. Can’t figure out basic things like piano roll. Sure re watch the tutorial videos everytime I try to like the app but I’m an experienced musician with every professional iOS music pro app and I can’t figure basic feature. This is Still not an intuitive app. Take more presses and time to get basic things done. And please for the sake of all that’s holy. Put labels on things. The ridiculous icons are a waste of space and energy. They aren’t intuitive. On a good note the app sounds good. Shame it’s useless compared to similar apps. Hey recently came across a new app that’s awesome and intuitive. Dreambeat or something lol. Dawnneat that’s it. I was making full tracks within 3 minutes with it. Compare that to an hit with this app and don’t even have a decent beat. I give up on this app. Deleting again.
  • Recording live….

    Can’t figure out how to record live sounds with my phone to then cut up and sample, that’s why I got it….
  • Crash-y on iPhone

    By Big DumpTruck
    I've had this app for years. Opened it up today and got right to playing. It's crashed 3 times in 40 minutes. Also, on my iPhone 14 I now have the "dynamic island" feature blocking 1/4 of the menu items. Can see that one can disable that iOS feature so I'm hoping the developers can figure out how to adjust the app so menus aren't blocked.
  • Incredible, but a little unstable

    Overall, Flip is quite a robust mobile DAW. it lends very well to my sample based music production style, and the workflow gets my ideas flowing and developed quickly. As of right now, however, there is a bug on iPhone 13 that doesn’t save each project’s BPM like before.
  • Far more than a sampler

    5
    By Eve Severe
    I am pretty impressed with this app so far. The ability to effect each sample runs deep. I hate to even call it a sampler because it is so much more. The UI is good on a phone (have not thrown it on my iPads yet). It is easy to use as it has a pretty standard setup but still has its own identity. I have only used it for about ten minutes to give it a quick go round and so far I am pretty impressed with the depth. I have an insane amount of audio apps and have been beta testing apps for about ten years now- this one is a total keeper and worth the price. Take my word for it. If you have any issues the developer is very responsive. I am wondering why in the newest update the ‘sample store’ is being phased out. I don’t mind as I like to use my own but it scares me that this app might be abandoned or go to a subscription model. I DON’T know this-I am speculating. I just hope this this app stays around for awhile because it has some great features and I am glad it is in the top of the audio apps chart because it deserves it. Great price point too.
  • Good. Great idea, but way too overloaded.

    It will be easier to operate on an tablet than on the phone. I have lost two projects on this app. The drag and drop has to be very precise. Quantize has to be done in small quantities I made the mistake to quantize the whole beat, it went chaotic; it is okay when apply on small amount of notes only. After a chaotic quantize which I tried undo, it only undo one note at a time; in the middle of rescuing my project, all notes were erased and no redo/undo function can help. There are bugs in this app, if any operation doesn’t make sense, restart the app. Even closing the app is tricky. There are lots of features for fine tuning, but if the creation part cannot lay down a beat, I cannot use those features. The basic functions for composing are not carefully secured, while they tried to offer a lot of advance features. My advise is for users to create multiple disposable short/quick projects, get use to this app first, before RELYING on it to create.

    After playing for about an hour, the program crashed three times.Not at a specific time, but at random.
