Developer Elliott Garage has introduced sEGments, a new slicer/sampler app for iOS/iPadOS.

sEGments lets you import any loop/sample/audio file and slice it using the automatic transient detection or manually adding markers.

You can play the slices with any MIDI external controller or with the built-in pads and keyboard. Each slice can be played chromatically, with mono or polyphonic voices (up to 12). Each slice also has independent parameters that can be automated, including reverse, level, attack, release, start point and length and effects (reverb, delay, bitcrusher and filter).

sEGments automatically detect BPM and root key of your audio file and it can adjust its tempo and pitch according to your project settings.
