SynthJacker vs WoodnGate Usage & Stats
SynthJacker is an autosampler for iOS. It automatically plays back a MIDI sequence with the notes and velocities you specify, and records the results into an audio file. It then slices the audio into individual sample files, ready to import into an iOS sampler app of your choice.
SynthJacker supports both internal instrument Audio Units (AUv3) and external hardware synths. Additionally, you can export a MIDI file with the desired notes and record a synth playing it back, then bring it to SynthJacker for slicing.
You can save presets of your sampling sessions, including the note range, velocity layers, and note durations. You can also apply post-processing to samples, to trim silence from them or normalize their level.
SynthJacker automatically names the resulting sample files with note and velocity information, so that they can easily be automapped by a sampler app. It also writes an SFZ file with sample information as regions and their root keys and velocity mapping. You will find the results in the iOS Files app, in the SynthJacker folder of your device.

The Wood'nGate is an audio gate which is both a standalone app supporting IAA (Inter-App Audio) and an AUv3 audio unit plugin.
It has the familiar controls like “Threshold”, “Attack”, “Sustain”, and “Release” but also has some extra features not found commonly on other gates:
- Has separate Open and Close modes
(e.g. Open with side chain, Close with track audio; Open with Midi, Close with side chain audio)
- Has 2 side chain channels
(e.g. Open with Kick, Close with Snare) : insert a WoodnGate in Send mode on the side track.
- Open and Close can be triggered by Midi commands (Note On, …)
- Midi Note On Velocity can be used to set the Open Gate Level.
- Has an ADSR mode
(Close is only determined by the ADSR timing)
- Presets can be stored in iCloud Drive (makes them available on all your devices)
- Includes 2 separate filters : 1 for the Open analysis signal and 1 for the Close analysis signal
- Presets can be switched with Midi Program Changes.
- When the Gate is Opened or Closed a Midi command (Note On, CC, ...) can be sent (to other plugins, devices, computers).
This allows for example an analog drum track on which WoodnGate is inserted to play notes/sounds on another synth plugin for each drum
beat triggering the Gate.
- All major Gate controls can now be set by received Midi CC commands.
