Description
Mighty Synth Sampler is an iPhone, iPad, and Mac instrument app that combines a subtractive synth, sample mapping, SoundFont import, effects, MIDI tools, and AUv3 hosting support in one workflow. It is built for turning quick recordings, imported audio, and SF2/SFZ libraries into playable instruments without bouncing between several separate apps.
The synth side uses three oscillator layers with tuning, detune, pan, envelopes, low-pass filtering, LFO modulation, unison, glide, drive, and an arpeggiator. The sampler side lets you record directly, import files, define loop points, assign root notes, map note ranges, save reusable banks, and share instruments.
Its strongest use case is mobile sound design: capturing a small sound, mapping it across a keyboard, shaping it with synth controls, then loading the result in an AUv3 host such as AUM or GarageBand. Optional paid sound packs exist inside the app, but the core synth, sampler, effects, MIDI, and starter-bank workflow is listed as included in the base download.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mighty Synth Sampler a desktop VST plugin?
No. The official pages list it as an App Store app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with AUv3 extensions, not as a VST, VST3, or AAX download.
Can it load SoundFonts?
Yes. The official feature list says it can import SF2 and SFZ SoundFonts, so it can work as a mobile SoundFont player as well as a sampler.
What do the AUv3 extensions do?
The app includes Mighty Synth as an instrument, Mighty Sampler for capturing and building instruments, Mighty Effects as an effects chain, and Mighty MIDI as a MIDI processor/play interface.
