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.

Bluetooth midi please
Love it 🖤
Having key detection, time stretching, and pitch shifting on the iPad is amazing. On desktop, I adore Serato Sample to make sample based music. I find that this interface better than Serato Sample. Sure, no Stem Separation, but I don’t care for the sound of AI stem separation. Highly recommended for any people that make sample based beats, or simply want to sprinkle samples on a track. It’s very playable IMO. Having velocity on the X/Y of a pad is Freddy cool in lieu of not connecting a midi controller. A built in looper would be a killer improvement. Very cool app 5/5. If I could rate it higher I would.

Won’t restore purchase
If you buy the full version for the one time fee and you ever uninstall the app. It makes you pay the fee all over again and doesn’t let you restore purchase. Do not buy.
Great Sampler App
I really enjoy using this app so far in my workflow, I do wish, however, that I can play the sample with the keyboard without it affecting the tempo when I press different. If anyone knows how to do this let me know.
Amazing. Love it
Super fun way to chop samples on my iPhone and use with garage band. Is there any way to add a trim feature? I end up having to use a third party app to cut excess off of loops to utilize the “divide” function. Other than that, thank you for this gem.
Best auv3 Sampler around
Title says it all. This is a great Sampler for iOS. Thank you Elliott Garage👊🏼🎚️💗
Crashes. Still.
Still crashing when I try and record in-app via AUM, and the keyboard disappears. I posted this two years ago and still no updates or fixes.
Seems to be abandoned.

Hi! Can you please write at info@elliottgarage.com with more details about your problem? I'll give you all the support you need! Thanks, Andrea
Absolutely amazing
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.

Needs work
I’ve owned the app for at least a year. When I reopened it and restored subscription settings, it’s charging me four bucks, but I already own the app. Bluetooth midi is not supported, very glitchy with external midi sync.
Having issues
It was working fine and then recently, When I set a sample from a folder into the project as a AU, to change sample, it used to take me to the exact folder I got the previous sample from… now it resets it every time to the cloud drive and I have to locate the splice sample folder all over again …a mapping issue I think but veryfrustrating …also periodically the sampler doesn’t load in the project and has to be restarted …we’re it not for the project I’m currently working on I would have jumped ship to something more stable ….this has started happened in the last month or more …

Crop
Would it be possible to add a crop button?
Top shelf.
This is fantastic.
Not as good as I was hoping
VirSin have had an app called Re-Slice out for a few years now. From the reviews I read about sEGments I really hoped I was going to get something superior to that estimable app. I don’t think so. I find the UI in sEGments to be a bit clunky, compared to Re-Slice - and that app has a rather wonderful arpeggiator built in. I bought this because I didn’t want to fork out for Sugarbytes Egoist. Now I wish I’d spent the extra £s.

Excellent!
Easy to use but also deep if you want it to be. I use it as an AU inside Endlesss and I’m still finding new ways to use it. An absolute essential for me now.
Bluetooth MIDI
Bluetooth MIDI coming soon?
