Capture your sonic universe!

Listen… Record… Create…

Jordan expresses: In designing this instrument, my aim was to cater to the inner sonic explorer within all of us. By developing a sampler for iOS devices, we have been able to redefine the boundaries of conventional sampling instruments. Whether it's playing a range of my signature sounds on the SampleWiz keyboard (JR lead anyone?) or immersing oneself in sounds by directly engaging with the waveform screen, our goal was to leave you amazed, put a smile on your face, and nurture your creativity. With SampleWiz, we have formed collaborations with top sound developers in addition to the hand-picked onboard presets.

"Inspiring! Just when you thought there was nothing new in the realm of sampling, along comes SampleWiz to ignite our creativity in fresh ways. I admire the real-time interactive sounds achievable by 'touching the sound'...the expressive and unique capabilities are truly remarkable!" - Eric Persing, Founder of Spectrasonics

"SampleWiz allows instant playability, and for those keen on sampling, it offers a swift and enjoyable path from recording to playing your own samples. Remarkable controls that are user-friendly yet intricate enough to facilitate the creation of musical voices! Coupled with an array of fantastic sounds from Jordan Rudess, SampleWiz is indeed wizardry manifested!" - David Mash, VP of Technology and Education, Berklee College of Music

We have dedicated our passion and expertise to this creation, driving our families, bandmates, and friends crazy by sampling everything in sight. We hope you relish this highly expressive and adventurous music app innovation!

• Choose from three distinct sampling modes: classic, granular, and modern.
• Classic - the conventional method where pitch speeds up or slows down as you go higher or lower than the recorded pitch.
• Granular - Wizdom Music's interpretation of granular synthesis engine. Adjust grain size and speed while maintaining consistent note speed across all ranges.
• Modern - delve into new sampling possibilities using Dirac technology to allow automatic adjustment of formants and time within a device-defined range.
• Up to 10 seconds per sample.
• Jordan Rudess presets from his personal collection.
• Resample any played content on the surface to craft fresh samples derived from existing presets!
• Three surface playing modes enable keyboard, wave-edit screen, and ADSR window playstyles.
• Wizdom Music's Advanced Pitch Rounding for precise initial attack and post-slide pitch adjustments.
• Every played note functions as an independent event allowing potent and expressive control over pitch and amplitude.
• Finger vibrato effect permits vibrato use even with pitch lock activated!
• Diverse visuals for each sampling mode. A glow tracks fingers and responds to the amplitude level of each played note.
• Choose from multiple scales and customize your own.
• Play samples forward or reverse!
• Looping options encompass standard as well as back-and-forth looping.
• Facilitates sample trimming.
• Distinct visualization of amplitude envelope on the ADSR page.
• Includes effects such as delay with tap-tempo selection, BPM control, and rate in seconds adjustment.
• Dual keyboards on-screen, each with its unique range and scale!
• Special hold mode where every sustained note can be in a different synthesis mode!
• Share presets with friends by sending them as SampleWiz files or standard audio files.
• Play directly on the waveform to hear audio directly beneath your finger. Independently slide each finger in any direction to alter pitch and position in the sample.
• MAPI AudioCopy/AudioPaste enables sharing audio with leading audio apps.
• Load custom audio files using iTunes file sharing.
• Inbuilt help screens elucidate each parameter. Tap the question mark for assistance.
