Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

I had never used a slicer before...but loving this! Kudos @VirSyn
thanks
It's got 50% - 75% swing and you can change the gate time too.
Thank you for making this app - it's made my week!
That's handy to know - means I can muck about loading in samples from Audioshare without worrying about them getting automatically saved as they do in some other apps.
Fantastic app, I'm having a great time with this. Would be wonderful if you updated the Addictive Synth arp with the new section markers too
Awesome thanks
I'm getting a few bugs in the Au version. Slicer sensitivity auto mode sometimes works and sometimes gets stuck. Second instance seems not to work with pasted sample unless you are using a preset...if you have 2 AU slicers on screen touching both only gives me audio from the first slicer.
But as a workaround saving a preset in the main app and bringing that up as an AU works. This is going to get a lot of use from me
if you use it as an AU it has as many tracks as your ipad can manage
I hadn't even thought about running multiple slices via AU. Blimey.
yes a big selling point for me
AUM showing 34% with 3 instances playing on Air2. Not bad
My Garage band drums won't sound crappy anymore!
@VirSyn some basic filtering on each slice would be awesome. Nothing fancy. But here's my worflow:
Load a beat. chop each drum hit, apply a HP filter on hihat (to remove remaining rumble from kick / snare ) and that's it. Play slices like there's no tomorrow
Does this do timestretch / transpose of the audio, or is timing sync just for the midi triggers ?
Tempting looking. Question for those who have all the others;- apart from the AU, and the Fugue-like abilities, how does it compare with the slicers in Egoist, Samplr, Strom?
Crucial question.
just give KORG a call ...
Tomorrow (Thursday) for a Korg announcement...
Wouldn't Abu Dhabi work for that?
More powerful for me, as I can control envelopes for each slice which makes it a lot more usable. Plus it's a doddle to edit slices.
You can change the pitch of each slice, doesn't timestretch as far as I can see though.
Bought this morning, not that into sample slicing but if it's good enough for @MonzoPro I'm there will be some utility in it.
Plus it's a doddle to edit slices.
For those of us not living in an Anthony Burgess novel, is this a good thing?
Gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. The trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silverflamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder.
What he said ^
I think you'll love it. You could import one of your tracks (or two if you're in AU mode) and completely rejig it using this.
It's a lovely thing, already up there in my top 5 apps.
Thanks
Oh, got it. Why didn't you say that in the first place?
Dang, I'm at work at the moment. You can import song length samples into it?
Worried that I was stating the obvious.
It's very easy to edit slices - you can make quick changes to panning, pitch, attack etc. and it's dead easy to add/remove/edit slice markers. Lovely UI. Compared to Samplr and Egoist I find it much more user friendly. A zoom option would be handy though, particularly for phone use.
