New app spoiler alert from Elliott Garage

espiegel123

You might want to discuss this all, SEGMENTS, in its post-release thread where you can also find discussion of the timestretch quality.

https://forum.loopypro.com/discussion/39594/elliot-garage-s-new-app-is-called-segments

For AUv3 slicers, Koala is among the best if not the best with respect to time-stretching.

Which app is topshelf in this?

I can't think of an iOS sampler that has pristine timestretching, but for example, the stretching in the app Audiostretch is better. I think any app with Zynaptiq timestretching will also be better, like some of the Audiomodern apps. But I can't think of an iOS sampler like sEGments but with very good quality timestretching offhand, it's not great in Koala either, imo. At least it wasn't a few years ago when I was comparing the quality of a few different apps with timestretching features, been a while tho and it's not something I often use myself, so maybe someone else knows.

When we did a blind shootout a few years ago, Koala was judged as equal to Ableton Live and apps with Zynaptiq. Koala has a few time-stretching modes; one of which is much better than the others. Beatmaker 3 and Blocs Wave and Launchpad (none of which are AUv3) were in the same ball park.

Important to note though that not all Koala stretching modes can be used in keyboard mode.

No timestretch? Really?

It does have timestretching, and it's mentioned in the AppStore description. Whatever timestretching algo is used isn't quite top shelf, imo, but it definitely has it.

It also has an iap for enhanced stretch or something like that…

Yay - drag & drop from files app in slide-over view into EG Pulse running in an AUM window really works 👍🏻

That’s cool and super convenient to assign and mix-match the drum sample packs i‘ve stored on the iPad. Pre-Listening in the Files app also works, but needs some taps. AudioShare‘s preview is simpler, but it seems AS doesn‘t support drag&drop to other apps.

Sample Crate works great for slide-over view with easy sample preview and drag-and-drop. You can use that app to browse samples that are stored in the regular Files app, in AudioShare, DropBox, etc.
