Anything similar to Ableton ‘slice to midi’ in iOS

gregsmithgregsmith
in General App Discussion

I don’t have Ableton, but saw the slice to midi feature in a YouTube vid the other.

We can slice to pads in segments (and now koala auv3!) but we don’t get a lovely, perfectly timed midi track automatically created alongside it.

Does anyone know a way to create this, maybe recording midi out from segments or whatever?

    Auditor can do this. When you use its slicer you can export a MIDI file when exporting the slices that recreates the timing.

    Reslice also can do it, but to get the MIDI file you need to export via email to get the MIDI file.

    BM3 can optionally create a midi pattern when slicing a sample...
    Just make sure to temporarily set the session BPM to match the Samples BPM to get a nice (1-x bars) pattern.

    BM3 can slice to pads and create a pattern for it at the press of a button. I think you can export MIDI from BM3? I'm not sure.

    sEGments doesn't output midi when it hits slice markers. It would be great if it did because you could then record that midi. Someone ( @Jeezs I think ) requested it over in the sEGments thread. I really hope @ElliottGarage considers it because people would love it once they understood its many uses.

    I'm with you. This is a great feature of FL Studio's slicers that I always wanted on iOS. I was happy to see it in BM3, but I don't use that DAW much, and would prefer it in a plugin anyway.

    I’m not the only one then 😁

    I wouldn’t have realised how useful it would be until I saw the video - the guy chopped up a break and just moved some hits to the high hat midi note. Really cleaned it up and made it sit over his original beat.

    I don’t have auditor or BM3 so will have to get on @ElliottGarage and @elf_audio until hopefully sEGments and/or Koala will add it as a midi out option 😉

    I love this in Bm3. Esspecially since it had some big improvements / bug fixes last year allowing for gaps between slices.

    BM3 is now the bees knees stem chopper, slicer, rearranger etcer.

    Ahh! I knew I'd seen that somewhere else but couldn't remember where and thought I had just dreamed it up.

    Auditor can do this, and save the chopped file as an apple loop… and sEGments can load that file type. Works nicely in Cubasis to load the midi and then host sEGments with the apple file (audio file with markers)

    I didn’t know this, as I haven’t used Auditor much. Thanks for mentioning it.

    Is there a 2026 update to this? Can Drambo do it? Koala?

  • espiegel123espiegel123

    Koala can do it.

  • gregsmithgregsmith

    @espiegel123 said:

    I know it can slice but can you export the midi file to playback the slices?

    Yes. You use the chopper and then Extract Pattern then export the sequence as midi.

  • espiegel123espiegel123

    Extract pattern creates a sequence to trigger the chops

    Fantastic! Thank you

    I ran into a situation where Koala sliced a sample and extracted the pattern properly, but it would loop before the end of the pattern. I ended up needing to first turn on time stretching, then set the number of bars, then finally slice and extract the pattern. After that it looped properly.

    I don’t know if that’s necessary if exporting, but I thought I should mention it just in case.

    Yep, just had to do exactly the same. The problem I have now is that the exported midi doesn’t then play the chopper pad. I tried the extract slices thing to the other pads but that doesn’t play back in the right order it seems. I’m in Loopy Pro.

    I think I’ve figured it out. You go to the sequence, hit the keyboard, choose the sample pad, then choose chromatic. Seems to be working now.

    Edit: this is awesome! Finally a nice simple workflow, and even better that it Koala, my favourite sampler.

    Yeah, it’s great isn’t it? Do you have to do the time-stretch thing if you’re only exporting?

    I did, yeah, but I’m keeping the samples in Koala and playing it from a loopy pro midi loop.
