About

This app allows you to import audio files and slice them into individual samples. You can then play these slices using MIDI controllers or on-screen pads, with independent control over each slice's parameters and effects. It also automatically detects BPM and key, and can be used standalone or as an AudioUnit within other music apps.

User reviews

Great app, unique for longer files!

One of my best workinghorses! You can load even very long files and work with them in all directions, slice, pitch, tempo, loop, ping, combine … Great for live music (using AUM)!!! ThanX!

Update!!!

Crashes when go to setting. What to do?

The Best Sampler on IOS

I tried sEGments a few years back when I purchased it, but never did a deep dive until TODAY. This app is on par with hardware samplers! I’ve been producing professionally for over 25 years and Today I just made myself the official brand ambassador for Elliott Garage! I’m about to show the world how powerful this app and the developer is! ~ Lumbajack

Samples work recording does not

The recording features doesn’t work tried with multiple apps and standalone eg pulse won’t record either.

sEGments changed the game !

Elliot Garage changed the game with Segments. This isn’t just another sampler—it’s a sound-design playground that gives you surgical control over every slice. Whether I’m chopping manually or letting the automatic detection do the heavy lifting, the workflow feels smooth, intuitive, and genuinely inspiring. It’s rare to find an app that turns sampling into pure fun—Segments does exactly that.

For years, I relied heavily on BeatMaker 3 for my sample chops—an absolute beast in its own right—but I always felt boxed in since I couldn’t use my chops across different DAWs that better fit my evolving workflow. Segments fixes that. Now I get that same detailed chopping experience, but with the freedom to move seamlessly between apps. On top of that, being able to work on chops anywhere—whether I’m on my iPad or even my phone—is a complete game changer.

Honestly, Segments is the closest thing we have to Serato Sample on desktop, but built natively for the iPad ecosystem. It feels like the missing piece I’ve been waiting for.

I will add that the editing/dragginh bar concept is cool but I feel like it’s very limited and I’d definitely prefer knobs maybe have the option to manually type a number for things like the pitch but it’s not to much a bother so even if that never changed I won’t complain

If I could ask for future additions, it would be stem control—the ability to isolate vocals, drums, bass, and instruments right in the app. That would take Segments from incredible to industry-shifting.And being able to pitch the initial sample from the bar in the middle of screen without having to redo it after adding in my other chops because the pitch bar at the top always gives me trouble but once again I make it work so no complaints.I also think having the means to also trim the sample if it’s a longer song would be beneficial.

Elliot Garage, keep going. You’re not just building an app—you’re shaping the future of mobile production. If you ever open up beta testing, I’m all in.
