Flippin' Random Beats
Chop-R is a beat slicer, but not one in the traditional sense. It cuts a loop, into a grid of equal sized parts. So that when you move the parts around, you keep the original groove and everything stays locked in tempo. You will be aided to re-order these parts in creative and musical ways, by using different algorithms to randomize the playback order of the parts. You can time-stretch (courtesy of Signalsmith Stretch Library) and pitch to match your projects key and tempo. Finally filter, EQ and distortion effects are available for you to shape the output.
Loop and Chop
Chop-R allows you to chop a beat or a loop into fragments and combine them in a new creative way using our unique algorithms.
You can select the number of beats manually or let the plugin deduce it.
Thanks to time stretching and pitching, you can adapt to key and tempo to match your project without being limited to the original material.
Randomize
The “Chop” function permits users to transform their beat into a novel sound by rearranging beat slices randomly with several algorithms.
The sequencer enables you to selectively lock slices and manually alter them in innovative ways, affording complete control over the creative process.
Sugar and Spice - add effects
To add more creative choices, there is a bunch of effects you can throw into the mix. Chop-R features different filters like EQ-ing, low, high and band pass resonating filters and several distortion flavours, including a crazy digital one!
Randomizing Algorithms
We offer several algortihms created specially to chop your sounds in unique new ways, giving new inspiration to your old loops.
save beats i-III
These algorithms try to preserve the musical context of the slices.
SAVE BEATS BREAK
Like save beats, but all the beats are avoided. Good for drum breaks for instance.
SAVE BEATS EDM
A save beats algorithm that emphasizes the down beats over the off beats.
CONSECUTIVE
Same as save beats, but with consecutive pairs. Useful for half-speed styles.
HALF-SPEED
Randomise every other slice. Muting the ones in between. Try with cross-fade!
RAGGA
An algorithm specially tailored for creating dancehall type beats.
REPETITIVE
Save beats, but all down beats are the same as the first down beat.
SMOOTH
Create smooth ramps. Useful when using as a granular effect.
SEQUENTIAL
Randomize, but every next slice is bigger then the previous (wrapping at the end).
