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 - 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

    Who is writing these good reviews? A bunch of Andrew Huang fans? This thing looks like a toy but a toy that doesn’t work. Once I found a samples in my folder of thousands that would work, they’re wav files, but most don’t even show up, then I would put marks on the piano roll and it plays about 1/10 of them. All this “I was making music in minutes” stuff in the other reviews, they’re ringers right? Cmon admit it. I was making music with Drambo faster than this thing. No exaggeration. Merry Xmas guys, guess my gift to you is $7.99
  • Very fun to play but

    Seems to be by far the most intuitive interface overall out there for similar apps (at a very reasonable price). But it gets buggy from time to time, and a few crashes have occurred before. Seems to have lost a few things b/c of renaming and copying projects, but with so many stuff getting “created” on this app it is hard to keep track...
  • midi control?

    Is it possible to trigger samples and loops with a controller? cant see it anywhere...
  • Awesome App (But Where’s Pitch Quantization?)

    I bought this without even thinking about it, and I don’t regret that decision, even if 99% of the music I make is DAWless. Flip’s got a great workflow, and some super-powerful—but easy-to-use—tools on hand. I feel like I’m only scratching the surface of what it can do. There are some missing features, though, the biggest being pitch quantization. I’d love to be able to just lock in a scale on the keyboard and piano roll and not worry about hitting a wrong note. (Imagine that working with the randomization functions! That’d be so cool!) Pitch quantization is by far the feature I want the most. All this to say: this is an awesome app. If you’re interested in making music but don’t have a ton of experience, this is THE app to get: it’s fairly priced, easy to use, and extremely powerful.

  • Pitch detection nightmare

    By Grich Argento
    I would love to give it a 5 star rating because the app is very promising and I love Andrew but at this stage is barely usable unless you perform everything with the pads. If you want to sequence using the keyboard the pitch detection will get in the way. The algorithm gets the pitch wrong all the time and you end up sequencing each sample in a different key. You can’t swap one shot melodic samples since they will be mapped randomly and sound out of key most of the time. A simple solution would be to map the samples to C and give us the option to change the root key if we want. The app has tremendous potential, looks great and I’m sure it’ll be a blast to use once the bugs are ironed out.

  • Please Load Clean Samples

    By mikeymcdangerface
    (Edited) Thanks for the quick bug fixes! Aside from my obligatory Andrew Huang fanboy excitement, I did find some useful criticism (2 weeks in) Biggest Dislike: newly loaded samples on pad affected by all old samples settings(including samples length edits!) . Ideally, pads would load clean samples with clean perimeters. Very Tedious to go though and wipe all perimeter changes for pad. Practically FULL TIME JOB to reset all the perimeters for the new sample if you had too much fun tweaking the last sample. Update wishlist: -Quick Save button, revert to previous save options. -ability to permanently truncate my samples. (Borrow that and more from 404sx/a please) -BAR LENGTH BUTTON quick 1-2-3-4 BAR option (using the scroll bar is great for fine tuning but tedious for quick changes. -At least 2 bar (16 steps) sample length as default for projects. (4 bars would be ideal for me) -Load clean samples on pads when changing them. Great start but looking forward to future updates! Thanks.

    I have to say that this app out the gate does pretty fine job of creating beats. I am/was a huge DM1 fan by Fingerlabs, but as long as that app has been out the devs failed to listen to request to make a DM3 with advanced features commonly use with other beat apps. Well I’m happy to say that the devs for Flip have answered the call with some of the features that I’ve requested from Fingerlabs are on this app. Would like to see AUV3 implemented into the app, as well possible IAA if possible. As of this review I see they also added a feature to reuse recordings in the app from the tape folder. Nice! I’ll update my review from 4 ⭐️’s to 5 when more features are added by way of updates.
