Slice turns any audio file into a MIDI-playable instrument. Description: slice turns any audio file into a MIDI-playable instrument. Load a sample, set your region, detect hitpoints, and commit your slices. Each slice maps chromatically from C1 upward, ready to play from any MIDI controller or your DAW's piano roll. CORE FEATURES: Automatic hitpoint detection with adjustable threshold and sensitivity. Manual green and red locators for precise region selection. Destructive trim to isolate exactly the audio you need. Zero-crossing snap eliminates clicks at slice boundaries. Stackable per-slice fade-in and fade-out for precise pop removal. Loop playback that respects your start and end markers. Real-time waveform display with slice overlay and playhead tracking. AUv3 PLUGIN Runs as an Audio Unit instrument inside any compatible host. Full state save and restore — your slices survive project close and reopen. Freeze and unfreeze support for offline rendering in Cubasis. MIDI note triggering with polyphonic voice allocation. Visual slice feedback on incoming MIDI notes. STANDALONE APP Load audio from Files or iCloud. Preview and audition before committing. Full editing suite with EQ, FX, and envelope controls in main app. Export individual slices as WAV files. WORKFLOW Load any audio file. Set green and red markers around your region. Trim to selection. Detect hitpoints or place them manually. Commit slices. Play via MIDI — each slice mapped from C1 chromatically. Whether you are chopping breaks, slicing vocals, or building kits from field recordings, slice gives you a fast, focused workflow with no clutter. Works with Cubasis, AUM and any AUv3-compatible host.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Bug Fixes Fixed transient detection placing hitpoints ~11ms late — now snaps accurately to attack onset with zero crossing alignment. Fixed per-slice Reverse, Silence, Normalize, Fade In and Fade Out not syncing to the native audio engine. Fixed slice 1 not responding to tap/touch when start marker was at position 0. Fixed green/red markers not snapping to transients in Trans snap mode. Fixed app accumulating temporary audio files causing storage bloat (up to 4GB+ on iPad) Automatic cleanup of stale temp files and shared buffer data on app launch - if your not seeing the bloat dissapear from your ipad or mac then delete app and reinstall. The temp files are tested to be now removed from your device :) Now available on Mac! — slice runs natively on macOS via Mac Catalyst with full resizable window support. Audio Unit (AUv3) plugin support on Mac with parameter controls. Configurable audio latency settings (Interactive / Balanced / Playback). Improved file import with support for all major audio formats (WAV, AIF, MP3, FLAC, M4A, CAF). Save sessions directly to any location via native file picker. Load button now functional for opening saved sessions.
