In July we officially released Chop-R and received great feedback. But one wish stood out:
This really needs the ability to manipulate the start and end points of each slice so the sample chop can fit. Other than that, fun tool.
So we took it to us and worked hard to make this possible: you can drag now the beginning and the length of each individual slice.
In order to keep our intelligent random algorithms working, the slices still play in the grid. But now, if the beat does not hit exactly on the grid or the snare might be slightly early, you can fine tune the timing, giving you a lot more flexibility to adjust for wandering tempos.
To modify the beginning of a slice, click and drag right of the divider, and to modify the end, click and drag right. Ctrl+click lets you audition the slice and double click resets to the original positions.
What Else Is New?
With the new version another often requested feature, audio export, has been added.
You can now render the current pattern to an audio clip, by dragging it on your timeline or folder.
Can I Test It?
Of course! For this update we resetted all demos, so you can enjoy a new 14 days demo period with no limitations.
And now: Have fun chopping!
