So in a sense it is possible to multi layer sampled instruments on the iPad. Note that advanced features like multi layered multi-samples is not possible with any app at the moment, BUT you could create multiple instruments and layer in an app which is a excellent workaround. In addition, both Music Studio and FL Studio Mobile can run on the iPhone so you can trigger the multi-samples on that platform as well.

This I am excited about and will be giving it a test run. Both Music Studio and FL Studio Mobile could easily allow me to import my S-50 library into the iPad. It also had a cool auto assign to the keys function which you could later edit and modify the key zones. instr multi-sampled instruments as well and I found it to be a little easier to loop and work with the actual wav files. Music Studio App allows for importing of. I then could import easily into FL Studio Mobile on the iPad. I’ve tested this using the latest version of DirectWave and I was able to import all sorts of SoundFont files and then export back out to. instr files via it’s PC Direct Wave software which also imports SoundFonts. Both allow you to create custom multi-sampled instruments from within their apps. Two apps which I bought and rather like are (1) FL Studio Mobile and (2) Music Studio which I have attached screens. So far, I’ve found several iPad music apps that work in some way with multi-sampling. Note that I’m not so much interested in creating drum kits like you would with an MPC or iMPC, but rather simply creating custom musical instruments on the iPad much like the Roland S-50 for example. Perhaps others with more knowledge on the subject will be able to comment about additional methods for importing multi-samples into the iPad. Below are some examples I’ve found that have limitations, but it’s a start. I have found that multi-sampling with the iPad is still in it’s infant stages, but have nonetheless found a few cool things that do work. I’ve been searching for some iPad music Apps that allow me to either create or import multi-samples from my library of Roland S-Series, E-Mu, and other sampled instrument formats. An interesting topic I’ve been researching lately is how to either import or create custom sampled instruments to be used on the iPad.
