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.
Download on the App StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

Was playing around with EG Pulse last night, which is a solid app too.
Anyway, pre-ordered, and looking forward to this one.
This just convinced me.. preordered 👏🏾💪🏾
Thanks SO MUCH ! It will be my new Fire App
Late to the party but I was close to the name too (but first with "Segment")

EGSegmental
Do I get a code???
Yeah not so much, it has no setting for number of beats, I have found that most loops play at double speed, so I am still fine tuning them anyway, and trying to fine tune with that slider, hit or miss at best.
I've only tested with loops up to 8 bars and they have played correctly even with just 1 slice when triggering the loop.
There is an odd glitch when doing extreme host-tempo changes in AUM which goes between 20-999BPM.
(I'm also having minor issues setting slice points on stereo files when there's a slight timing and level difference between the channels. It would be handy to see both channels instead of a summed & averaged waveform).
I don't know a single app that can't be 'improved'
It simply doesn't work here, I have sent a video to EG, you cant really have a usable sync setting without number of beats anyway, that ends up in a computer trying to guess things which is terrible, but it cuts out, only plays a very short piece of the loop, sometimes plays, sometimes doesn't, and trying to finetune is near impossible with the slider, because there is no fine control, so I have a beat at 174, that is playing double so i have to set it to 87, I can get 86.9 or 87.2, but i will be damned if i can get it to stop at 87
Gotcha...
Being able to type in the BPM(instead of the jumpy time slider) and setting the number of beats for the file is something that should be there. At least the BPM can be synced to host where the BPM can be dialed in more accurately but there should be an option for half/double-time when synced to host as well.
An 'AI Computer' will never replace the human when it comes to 'perception' and 'desired' choices, it may 'guess' but it can and will guess wrong at least sometimes
That probably will be there for the release...or for the first update
you should release it now, and and then we can watch it grow and get better with every update. i think that is always fun. it’s like getting a new app every update. like touchscaper, it’s so cool to open an update, and have the surprise of a whole new way to play with the app. just something to consider. thanks 😃
Which also results in a ton of email support because XYZ isn't working in some random DAW that wasn't tested, which results in less updates etc etc, it is a fine balance of release vs test, Reapers two cycle release system covers this extremely well and it is bomb proof software, then Renoises one release every twelve thousand years approach has made that bomb proof too, I don't really have an example of something that was released early that is bomb proof to be honest.
Can I start recording with a MIDI note or CC, like from a foot pedal? That's often missing, some musicians need both hands elsewhere..
Or maybe I can trim it later, but I would like something that also works in a live situation, like a looper but with additional sampler features, like glitch, modulate start and loop points, slice, key play..
Also patch/sample recall via Program change.
Extra points when it has some BPM recognition (or you tell it how many beats you want to record beforehand) and you can use it to set Link tempo globally (as option) with recorded loop length.
Yeah, I want this app, but I can wait. I'm just happy to know a date. Looking forward to it being complete on release, or at least very close because it was properly tested and fixed beforehand.
I dunno man. EGSegmental is one word, technically speaking. Not sure it exists in any dictionary either. Mine was sEGmenter and I honestly don’t know if that’s a real word either (in English). So if a proper English word was needed, we both failed. But Mr.Garage should of course send us codes anyways, it’s soon Christmas and all, right?
Anyone on the fence here, I will say that @ElliottGarage is one of the most responsive devs I’ve seen out there. Solid stuff and always quick to jump on bugs and quick enhancements. I’ve mentioned things that were fixed in an update the same or following week. Can’t say that will always happen, but definitely a trustworthy dev here.
Thanks @DukeWonder !!
Beta testers having fun!
You have persuaded me. It IS nearly Christmas.
Actually I am very undeserving and should pay for my own copy of Egsegmental/sEGments.
agreed ...excellent dev!

EG Pulse‘s evolution was fun to witness.. look where it’s at now.. @ElliottGarage = great dev!
Too right. I’m in anyway, pre-ordered and can’t wait.
This one pretty much killed the other one for me.
Having both would probably be fun, but I don’t really need both.
This one is looking way more interesting for what I like to do.
Ditto
What's are the differences to Virsyn's Reslice?
Live sampling as an AUv3FX would be the big difference, but there are probably a few more.
Absolutely, truly fantastic, super hard-working and responsive dev！
Features of sEGments not available in Reslice:
The dev also announced support for choke groups. And the dev is very responsive and more open to implement feature requests than Virsyn
I never heard anything at anytime from Virsyn, except those „we are having a spring, a summer, an Easter, you name it sale“ on twitter.
+1
Someone as responsive as @ElliottGarage should be supported. He’s part of our community, listens to us, is releasing apps that fill gaps that no other dev is filling sufficiently, and continues to develop apps after release to keep up with new opportunities (like multi out).
The price or this is worth it even if it was just a solid sample slicer that could export straight to EGPulse.
pre-ordered !
