ReSlice
Audio Slice Machine for iPad and iPhone. Slice your audio samples with ReSlice and create flexible musical atoms which can be triggered by MIDI notes or the touch of your fingers. The polyrhythm Arpeggiator redefines the art of creating new loops from the extracted slices. Record live or import audio from clipboard or AudioShare to break it up into its rhythmic components. Apply the intelligent slice parameter and Arpeggio randomizer for instant creation of the unheard. (Developer description)

Tips and Tricks
Exporting MIDI
After slicing your audio, you can export the slices and a MIDI sequence that will recreate the original audio when triggered by MIDI. The steps are:
- Set the tempo on the Arp page to the original audio's tempo if you need the resulting MIDI file to faithfully line up with the original sample.
- Tap the Share icon
- Select the “All wavs” zipped option
- Tap on the “Mail To” icon
- Either mail the message to you OR drag the MIDI file out of the message window into the Files app to save yourself having to mail the data
- Import into the MIDI sequencer of your choice.
