So recently I stumbled upon Dawnbeat, an app for sampling and beat making for iOS, that’s in a way quite similar in terms of layout and features to the very popular Koala Sampler, but is also quite feature rich and adds some nice improvements. The base app is completely free and the in-app purchase adds auto slicing and Auv3 support, so you can load plugin instruments and effects, which is probably the biggest advantage this app has over Koala and you also get additional built-in effects and drum kits.
You also get a 4 bus mixer, similar to the one that Koala recently introduced as a paid update for free - the mixer is included in the base app, it has sidechaining and a couple of other cool effects, and the effects aren’t as many as Koala’s mixer, however the AUv3 functionality enables you to load third party effects.
Unfortunately for Android users, unlike Koala, the app is iOS only. But the base free version is pretty close to the full Koala app which costs 15 bucks except for the auto slicing.
