Segments

Auto-slicing live audio looper, inspired by Segmenti for Organelle.

Record audio in by holding KEY2. Slices of the buffer are automatically mapped, equally, across one octave of a MIDI keyboard. Press a MIDI note to trigger and loop that segment of the buffer. Hold KEY3 and play a sequence on your MIDI keyboard to record a MIDI loop, which will automatically play. Press KEY3 again to clear and halt the sequence.

Wow! Really nice thing! Too bad it’s not available through maiden.

I think it would be great if it will be possible to manipulate the pitch not only + - octave, but also in a wider range. And to able to manually define audio fragment end/start points for each individual key. And I like that when you press one key several times, the sample does not play from the starting point, but continues to play from where it left off. I think it sounds much more interesting than when the sample is repeated from the beginning over and over again.

Indeed! Until then, it’s also possible to use ;install https://github.com/cfdrake/segments.
