    uh oh, the Slicer Wars have begone....

    Anything to add?

    you can never have enough sample slicers.

    If one had reSlice, would Samplist offer anything additional?

    The built in arpeggiator in ReSlice allows you to set the pitch and clock for each step. You can set the pitch, level, pan, and ADSR for each slice. It has an effects section. You can save an arp as a preset. It’s an AUv3.

    Unless I’ve missed it, you can’t play samples in ReSlice chromatically, aside from tapping the sample slice itself.

    Not sure if this is what you mean, but if you turn off all 4 arp tracks, you can play the slices chromatically from C2 (on the AUM KB). Each half step up plays the next slice.

    But if you mean play one slice, pitched chromatically, using a KB, then I also don’t see how to do this. Probably export the slice to a sampler, like in Cubasis, or Samplist, or whatever app you have that does this.

    Yeah, I’ve not found a way in ReSlice to play one slice chromatically, so that would be a plus point for Samplist.

    I tend to use ReSlice more for rhythm.

    Let’s say you have trimmed your own audio loop, will either Samplist or ReSlice tell you its tempo?

    Do both apps assume/require that the loaded audio is appropriately trimmed, or can they be used to trim audio into a loop?

    You can trim a sample with Samplist. If you trim it to a perfect loop there is a tempo calculator based on the length and number of beats.

    There a benefit to buying a hand crafted App from a developer that interacts with users here and updates based upon our feedback.

    Alec can you destructively truncate the audio outside of the loop?

  • alecsbugaalecsbuga

    Trim saves a new sample. So I guess it’s destructive:)

    @alecsbuga : Great!

    Nothing comes close to bm3 on this

    Its chaper than egoist and has easily the best sampler(others dont stand a chance), plus launchpad/ableton type triggering of loops. Isnt that exactly what op was looking for? Stuff like egoist and some others mentioned here are not even close to it..

    I have been getting by fine using Samplist and ReSlice. You mentioned several times that ‘the others don’t stand a chance, don’t even come close’ , etc.
    I know BM3 has a fancy sampler, but I really have no idea what you mean. What exactly am I missing out on here?

    Watch @TheAudioDabbler demo the BM3's sampler features:

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=_o4JIByjbpY

    It's easy to see why many would like it split out as an AUv3 App.
    So, it becomes a model for the AUv3 Samplers to use for enhancements. The one in Ableton is alleged to be the Gold Standard slicing sampler.

  • CracklePotCracklePot

    @McDtracy
    Ok, I watched it. Excellent demo.
    But honestly, I didn’t see anything that I couldn’t do already with what I have been using.
    It is way more convenient looking, once you get over the initial BM3 hump.
    I already went through the trouble of figuring out how to do all this stuff with a handful of other apps,, though. :D
    Now that BM3 finally has transient detection, it may be time to give it another go.

  • espiegel123espiegel123

    Something's that BM3 does that none of the others can (in addition to transient detection) is export audio with slice markers, loop points and tempo info so that you can use your exports as loops in BeatHawk of GarageBand.

    I wish they did.

    bm3 was not the first iOS slicer with transient detection or time stretching
    but it's a quite fully featured app for sure, count me in as one of those who would like them to sell the slicer on it's own as well

  • ProppaProppa

    Resurrecting this thread to ask in 2020: what are current favorites for loading a single file of one-shots and having those auto-sliced into individual files for export?

    For my use these would Not always be quantized to a BPM so slicer would need transient detection. Thanks in advance for any input!

    Maybe this when it gets released I dunno...

    Not much has changed. BM3 and AudioLayer er...Reslice. Couple of newcomers like EG Pulse that are more focused on using the slices internally than on export.

    Very promising that the Instagram post is 7 weeks old and looks like an instubuy app.

    How about slicers from the currently-available crop?

    Thanks Wim. I've held off on AudioLayer so far but if it's good at this task I might go for it.

    To anyone who knows: Is Synthjacker a slicing-contender or is that aimed more at multi-sample builds?

    Whoops! Wait!
    I meant ReSlice, not AudioLayer! Sorry. :o

  • wimwim

    Synthjacker isn’t appropriate for general slicing. It relies on a timed midi file, then slices according to time, not transients.

  • TheSoundKidTheSoundKid

    No single app can satisfy. That’s why I’m using all

    BM3, Blocswave , Sector , FieldScaper ; SoundScaper , iPulsaret; iDensity; Spacecraft ; quanta & Egoist

  • SealTeamSickSealTeamSick

    I didn’t really realize that Blocswave was so good for this (didn’t take the time oops).

    Could someone maybe link some YouTube videos of workflows you’re describing. I’ll look too, but some of the best videos on iOS stuff is sometimes very few views. Just asking. :)

  • ProppaProppa

    Thanks @wim and @TheSoundKid

    I seem to recall ReSlice being the closest to what I’m looking for on paper (ditto BM3) but have yet to delve in.

  • kobamotokobamoto

    what about beat twirl, is it still running on the current os?
