Loop Slicer

US WA Production releases ChopBeast      17/02/25

WA Production says that ChopBeast isn't just another loop slicer, they believe that it's your gateway to a world of beautiful accidents, creating order from chaos. Here's the full details direct from the company...

From the classic vocal chops that defined 90s house via Nightcrawlers and Todd Edwards, to the super-sliced modern productions of Disclosure and Porter Robinson, chopped audio has been a driving force behind decades of dancefloor hits. Unleash the power of ChopBeast on percussion loops to create intricate rhythmic patterns, stuttered vocal earworms, complex bass line riffs, or even apply it to entire mixes for those iconic Daft Punk-style chops.

Slices of Inspiration

This plugin not only auto-generates unique audio loop iterations, but also cuts and combines with an uncanny sonic knowhow, taking your source material and transforming it into endless rhythmic and melodic possibilities. Drag in an audio file and ChopBeast will instantly chop and rearrange any audio phrase or loop, with the ability to select up to 32 chops. Audition or trigger your creations via MIDI, for endless experimentation. Features such as undo, global transposition, and multiple randomization modes push the musicality even further. The plugin window is also resizable for optimal workflow.

Per-chop Perfection

Dive deep into the granular controls of ChopBeast with per-slice pitch manipulation, formant shifting, declicking and the ability to reverse individual slices. Embrace the chaos with multiple randomization options, ensuring that every riff is your own unique creation. Lock in your most-loved creations and export them seamlessly into your DAW, ready for further sound mangling and manipulation.
