Slicery

Drop in a song or a loop and Slicery chops it into slices, maps them across the keyboard, and lets you play them back — then save the ones you love out to your sample library. The chop-and-play workflow you actually repeat, in one focused instrument.

What it does

CHOP

Transient or grid

Slice by onset detection with a sensitivity control, or divide cleanly by note value at a set tempo. Markers are drawn right over the waveform, ready to nudge.

PLAYABLE

Across the keyboard

Every slice maps chromatically from C1 upward, so the chop is instantly playable from your host or a controller — audition a slice with a click, or perform the whole loop by hand.

PER-SLICE VOICE

Shape every hit

Gain, pitch (±24), reverse, anti-click fades, gate vs one-shot, and choke groups for hi-hat-style mutual exclusivity — each slice tuned to sit exactly how you want.

LIBRARY

Keep the good ones

Found a one-shot you love? Name it and grab it straight to your sample library. Slicery is as much a sample-prep tool as an instrument.

LAUNCH CLIPS

Loop & sync

Turn a slice into a looping launch clip locked to a shared clock — Slicery doubles as a clip launcher for hybrid performance rigs.

WORKFLOW

Fast and focused

Drag-and-drop loading, a clear waveform with slice pads, and a workflow centred on the loop you repeat: chop, play, keep. Think ReCycle × Serato Sample, distilled.
