SECTOR equivalent for iPhone?
I want to build and sequence some glitchy breakbeats, I see people recommend sector a lot for this, but I’m on iPhone, not iPad, and I’m not sure if there’s a good equivalent.
I have GlitchCore, but it doesn’t really do this, and ends up glitching a lot of silence, or requires insanely detailed editing of the glitch sequence.
Any suggestions?

Looperator and Loopmix but both iPad only…
Here’s a few possibilities.
Maybe look into hammerhead, it’s a drum machine but can load samples, loops, etc… it can also be a sequencer. Iypt has a glitch knob, glitch amount knob and a mutation knob that can get the sequencer bouncing all over the place. It’s not exactly like sector or as detailed in glitching but it can do some cool stuff.
Maybe a slicer, then send some glitchy midi to trigger it, something like sEGments, or reslice.
Maybe MolliLooper
Koala fx has a stutter feature, and a chop feature.
Maybe Beatcutter, that might be a good option, or GlitchScaper
+1 for Hammerhead. It’s great for messing with breaks
I don’t think there is an equivalent on iPhone. Wish there was! I’m guessing GlitchScaper and BeatCutter are the closest.
Sector is worth getting an iPad for.
(Sorry. I know that's no help.)
Damn. iPhone is rough. I was gonna say Effectrix, Turnado, Replicant 3, and Egoist, but they're all iPad only. 😕
If by chance you ever got Replicant 2 before it was removed from the App Store, that works sort of.
Koala's FX can get somewhat into that territory but nowhere near what Sector can do.
I think OODA works on iPhone, if you take the 4x4 grid and control a slice player with it, setting the pads to the midi notes the slices are on, you can get some similar effects with the wormholes. It’s nice for manual beatjuggling, too, as the triggers are quantised.
I’m curious why you don’t use iPad? Most of the crazy glitchy apps are iPad only from what I can see. Hammerhead is great though.
Yep, same scenario as Samplr.
Both classic pedigree apps that still haven’t been ported.
I’d add Borderlands to that list as well.
An older app, but I really dig Yellofier for this. I would suggest Koala, but you would have to play it in/sequence it some external randomizer / generative midi.
Yellofier has a button that if you hit it, sets some preset sequences and if you hold it, randomizes.
Each step can have some effect and different pitch. But if i'm not wrong, it's IAA only.
That’s not a bad idea
Yes, I've had lots of fun with it. Very easy to get some jungle action going. The only thing I wish it had would be a reset after 16 steps, or being able to reset it with a midi note.
Oh... just checked... IAA only indeed...
But dang, I love it
I don't have one! My partner does, so I have access, but it's not a reliable thing I can get enough practice on, so I don't generally use it. I should just get an iPad though, since much of what I want is on there.
What would be an example of a slice player that would work with this type of thing?
God I'd love to get down on Borderlands as well, looks like a ton of fun :,(
@bezz_jeens I use the flexisampler in Drambo, Koala would be a good choice, too, I guess and I'm sure there are others. The only requirement is, that you can trigger slices with midinotes.
I don’t think the slicer in Blocs Wave has been mentioned but it is superb. I’m sure that will do the job for you.
Ah hem
Perhaps Reslice by Harry Gohs aka Virsyn
For sure Flexisampler in Drambo
I have to get more familiar with the Flexisampler, I use it but I don't really take full advantage of the randomizing slices type work flow. I don't usually record drum loops to sample, so when I come to actually want the loop, I don't feel like making one! lol
I've never used Blocswave but I downloaded it to check this out, thanks for the recommendation.
Haven't heard of Reslice but I will give it a go.
I'm realizing also that part of the thing that I don't like about slicing an existing drum loop is that I like to manipulate the samples and sequence that's going into the chop, not mangle an existing loop. I have really enjoyed putting Poly2 through Glitchcore, because I can have Glitchcore running and spend my time messing with FX, pattern, and samples in Poly2. Also, I'd like to glitch out incoming guitar signal.
