AUv3 Compatible Instrument.

Chameleon is an AUv3 compatible sampler instrument plugin for your favourite DAW. The program can run as a standalone app in order to record audio samples from the internal microphone or professional audio interface. It also supports incoming Inter-App Audio connections for sampling directly from other iOS applications, however it is primarily intended to be used as an AUv3 Instrument plugin for applications such as Cubasis, AUM, Auria, Meteor, Gargeband etc. The plugin can additionally be loaded as an AUv3 effect in order to record audio passing through it from other AUv3 Instrument sources, which makes it a very versatile and useful tool. So what is a sampler? A sampler is a device that allows you to imitate other instruments with just a few short audio snippits. Although it comes with a library of presets it also allows you to create your own. You do this by recording multiple audio clips and mapping them to the notes on a MIDI keyboard and Chameleon does the rest using a sophisticated pitch shifting algorithm to fill in the blanks. Recorded samples can either be layered or mapped freely over a 7 octave range and saved as individual presets. Presets are then organised into custom categorised banks which can be exported and shared with others. Just think, you can sample all your favourite synth sounds and carry them around on your iPhone/iPad without the inconvenience of lugging heavy gear around with you. Sample anything from musical instruments to vocal snippits, drum machines or ambient noises. The possibilities are endless. Recording is incredible easy. Just create a New Patch and press record. Chameleon will wait for you to play a note before recording begins. Once recorded press the LEARN button and tap the note range on the virtual or MIDI keyboard to map the sample. Repeat this as many times as required, tweak the settings and save your patch. Additionally you can setup loop points with the ability to apply crossfade. If all that sounds too complicated, just press auto sample and let Chameleon do all the sampling for you. Chameleon also has a quite sophisticated arpeggiator which allows you to create complex mixtures of notes and chords with glide, hold and re-triggering options. On board reverb, digital delay and chorus effects are available to give your samples a more polished touch. We also include 4 touch pads for quickly dialing in on a sound or for easy effect automation. Configurable touch ADSR and modulation options are available too. Chameleon can also import audio samples using iOS Files integration or you can make use of Copy / Paste to quickly drop one of more samples into a patch. You can also freely edit samples using the built in tools such as normalise, fade in, fade out, crop, clear options etc. You can run Cameleon as a standalone app and map external MIDI keyboards (Bluetooth MIDI support also included) and perform audio sampling outside of your DAW. This is provided for convenience since you can't record input when hosted as an AUv3 Instrument plugin. Yes some DAW's have built in samplers which only have the ability to playback libraries provided with the software. Chameleon allows you to built your own libraries of sounds and share them with others. There's a budding rapper in you dying to get out and we have just the tool! Features: AUv3 Instrument and AUv3 Effect compatible Runs as a standalone app for sampling purposes. Supports incoming IAA connections to compatible apps.. ADSR touch envelopes and modulation. ARP - Sophisticated programmable arpegiator. Reverb, Chorus and Digital Delay Effects with BPM sync. Backup and Restore patches and banks. Create your own user banks. 4 Touch Pads for automation. 16 MIDI Drum Pads iOS Files App support for import and export. Bluetooth MIDI support Loop Points and optional Crossfade supported. Monophonic and Polyphonic modes. Auto Sample feature. Built in Vocoder.}

Paul, this app is amazing. Is there any way we can get files to load in a sequential order if loading multiple samples at once? Ex. Name: 1. Sample1, 2. Sample2 - 3. Sample3 … 32. Sample 32 in order? Files get renamed by Chameleon so it’s hard to track them… files loaded in order can get mapped faster Thanks!

The app unfortunately is limited to a maximum of 32 samples per preset. I would not have purchased this app had I known about this limit beforehand. Hours of time were wasted before learning about the limit. So do NOT expect to have a portable software sampler that can achieve “individually sampled” notes across a meaningful range (mapping each sample to specific keys). Layered preset functionality (as in 2 presets/64 samples total) would solve this. Microtonal tuning, for example, unfortunately is something that you will still have to turn to MacOS desktop software to achieve.

This developer is impossible to get a hold of, and they have not shown any indication of plans to update some of their paywalled products, rendering them prone to obsolescence. I would recommend not purchasing from them, as it appears that all of your purchases will become useless and obsoleted once other app developers and Apple update their own products.

No manual?Is this an easy, intuitive app?Don’t answer if it happens to be; for you! Even better I was sent to Kal marketing for app support from the app store?Non-sense! Worse, they wanted mke to sign in to X to get to 4pockets. How can I sign in to X when I have an aversion to the existence of Elon Musk and anyone who could tolerate his existence? What is going on here?Non information and tryin to get us to support people we don’t like? I have purchased almost all the apps and they are good and the complicated ones like string machine have a built in manual.Chameleon is more complex but with no manual and no way to get one, Why? Apple or developer contact me with info. about a manual

I cannot find a way to share the instruments that I have created. Can you help me please. Other than that, the app is great!

Great app for sampling synths, really easy to use. Problem is there is no way that I can see to export or backup created banks
