Overview

Features & Capabilities

ArchersPlayer is a lightweight audio file player built as an AUv3 Generator plugin. Load it into your favorite AUv3 host — like AUM, ApeMatrix, or Audiobus — and use it as a sound source alongside your other instruments and effects.

Build a playlist from individual files or entire folders. Tracks play sequentially from top to bottom, and you can reorder them with a long-press drag, shuffle the list, or tap any track to jump straight to it. A seekable playback slider lets you scrub to any point in the current track.

Need a pause between tracks? Enable the configurable track delay to insert a random gap (2–10 seconds) before the next track starts. Great for DJ/radio, live performance, rehearsal playback, or backing tracks that need breathing room.

FEATURES • AUv3 Generator plugin — works inside any compatible host app • Load audio files individually or by folder • Supports MP3, WAV, AIFF, M4A, CAF, FLAC, and AAC • Sequential playback with shuffle, skip, and previous controls • Tap any track to play it immediately • Drag to reorder your playlist • Swipe left to delete individual tracks • Swipe right to lock a track's position in place (won't be affected by shuffle) • Seekable playback slider with elapsed and total time display • Configurable random delay between tracks (2–10 seconds) • Automatic sample rate conversion to match the host • Security-scoped bookmarks for persistent file access • Save/Load multiple playlists • Trigger playback controls, tracks, and playlist w/ MIDI • Set custom start/end times per Track to only play a region of the audio file • Warp playback pitch and speed in real time, or lock the control to only do one or the other • Designed for iPhone and iPad

User Reviews

This is one of those apps that falls into the category of “Never Had A Use For This, But Now That I Do, I’m Glad Somebody Did It!” I wanted to do break music between my sets, and tried all sorts of ways, including plugging my phone into the sound system. I had no idea that anyone had done an app like this. But just on the off chance, I did a search, and there it was, a YouTube video by Gavinski’s Tutorials, just what I was looking for… A music player with AUv3 that I could just put on a channel in AUM. It accesses a folder in Files containing a bunch of mp3 files, I tell it to shuffle them, and hit the PLAY button. Instant, volume-controllable break/background music. Works well. Great app.

Good minus the one complaint. Like I wanted to listen to a 43 minute file and it wouldn't load it. But it can load my entire MP3 library of 3-5 minute songs into a playlist fine.
