This app is a game changer for GarageBand. It’s flawless. I’m a longtime iPad GarageBand super user and know every minute detail of the application. I own virtually every plugin available, and have been using the Chomplr sampler AUV3 add-on for ages. But this app puts it to shame. It’s so flexible and SO stable. Instability is a problem that plagues many AUV3 extensions for Garageband on iOS. This one feels like it’s native to Garageband it’s so stable and responsive. I mean seriously this is exactly what a sampler should be. The Logic Pro sampler is similar, but this one is more intuitive and fun to use. The sampler is also flawless when duplicated several times over using the same wav sliced differently in each instance. Seriously the best add-on that exists for GarageBand. I’d have paid triple for this if I knew it was this good from the start.

I gave this app five stars but there are two flaws that are so critical they are the reason why I am not a famous producer right now…When you’re recording audio directly through the record feature if your phone or tablet is set to sleep after some amount of time the app doesn’t stop it from sleeping and you lose your recording. this is sort of a dealbreaker and unforgivable please fix it. The next related issue is that you cannot record once you have started a project you can only record from the initialization screen. Why? Please enable recording at any point.

Love your plugins. Keep up the good work.
I have some feature requests.
- please enable sync recording just as in aum so perfect loops can be recorded directly into segments and then evenly chopped.
- please enable a zoom view.
- extra please!!! Can you add lock (sync) time of a slice so its rhythm stays the same and the pitch can change via keyboard or slider. This was actually the primary reason i wanted segments. I want to be able to record parts and then transpose them while maintaining timing. It seems like it almost does this now but not quite.
- make default volume say cc100 and be able to turn a slice up to max say cc127 with clean volume, vs dirty gain (which is a great feature btw)
- in stand alone on iphone xr/11 fx mix of delay and crush are in accessible due to ios app switch bar :/

Thanks 🙏🏽
