About this app

Flip is a sample-based mobile music studio that was designed for a fast and intuitive work flow. Import your own sounds, or record sounds directly with your device's microphone. 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.

**********************************

Flip can play up to 144 samples at a time, so it's a very CPU-intensive app. We recommend new devices and Android 10 or higher to really have fun with the app.

Brilliant music creation app! There are however a few teething issues with the new android app on my Pixel 7 - main issue is that samples and affects seem to get corrupted when I reload a project which is a bit of a shame as I have lost a few really cool ideas this way! It's a really great app, and I'm sure once more of the bugs have been addressed it'll be a definite 5 star app :)

Just got the app to keep me busy for a long journey. For an app that's so feature rich I struggle to imagine how it could be more intuitive! My only struggles so far have been with the fidelity with the midi editor but it is really useful you can set the zoom. Also the latency for recording live is a right pain. I understand that you can only reduce latency so much, but some form of user settable latency compensation would be incredible. Keep up the good work 🙂

I wanted this since seeing Andrew Huang's video for the iPhone. So glad they got it on android finally, but it doesn't seem ready. The import sample feature is a deal breaker. I used CX file explorer to find the com.flipsample folder, but that only allows import of one file at a time! When I try to organise samples in a folder that I created in app, it force closes with a "bug" message. Also the keyboard on the name folder page doesn't seem scaled correctly (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+). Shame.
