I would love to be in on the fractional pitch sampler share too.
Thanks,
Marcus

Every now and then I try to compile some test code to see if the latest IOS supports the DLS synth that sounds so good on OSX, but no luck so far.

As the world seems to be moving away from desktop software, it would be really valuable to have this capability on the pads. For educational purposes, for expressive purposes in music production - anyone listening there at Apple?

With every new release of IOS I keep checking and hoping that quarter-tones and other fractional pitches will be possible, but it doesn't seem to be high on their priority list.
