AMENBREAK VST - multi-playhead sample mangler

[pough]

I randomly hit upon this and thought that others here might find it interesting.

AMENBREAK VST
Performance based multi-playhead sample mangler with auto-slicing, sequencing and bespoke effects.
https://amenbreakvst.com/
Regular price $29 USD on sale at the moment for $19 USD. There is a free version with a few features left out.

I like it a lot. it has some unique features and it's a great simple beat slicer that is not that simple after all. Also extra points for the support - I reported a bug yesterday and it was fixed today. Recommended to anyone into slicing/loop mangling/glitching.

Thanks, this is great. The free version is great, but the sample folder scrolling works better in the paid version.

From a subreddit:

Note that this is based on (or at least derived from) Ectocore, which they essentially abandoned in a problematic state, so if it works for you then great but if it doesn't then don't expect it to get fixed.

Anyone know how accurate this is?

Also someone asked how it compares to Amigo Sampler. I have no clue, but now I'm wondering what features Amenbreak might have in comparison.

[Uncle E]

The Amigo comparison is not accurate. Just install the demo, it gives you 90% of the full version and doesn't time out.

Amigo has a simple & cool beat slicer but that's the only thing they have in common. Amigo is mostly an Amiga emulation and AMENBREAK has much more sample mangling options, for example you can randomize the loops that it plays from the same folder and much much more. The free version is cool but it has a nag screen about registering that pops up every time you open the GUI, so I just bought it

N... if it doesn't then don't expect it to get fixed.

Anyone know how accurate this is?

Just two posts before yours someone said that they mentioned a bug and it got fixed quickly, so... maybe it's accurate for the hardware unit but this is not that.

Also someone asked how it compares to Amigo Sampler. I have no clue, but now I'm wondering what features Amenbreak might have in comparison.

I would say that Amigo is an emulator that happens to have some rudimentary slicey functions and AMENBREAK is a slicer/dicer that has some effects.

Looks good. I threw a boring bass loop into it and came up with something groovy. I could then record it into Toontrack EZbass.

having lots of fun with it.
seems that some of the bugs disappear when authorised, but still a few bugs.
the dev's timeline shows quite a bit of work over the last week or two.
It's good to see. I actually just went through a folder of funk breaks and got it all ready for this plugin. It seems that midi controlled madness is the way to go, has anyone recorded automation and played it back in a project with this? I think i'll be rendering a few long jams and cutting them up.
best $20 bucks i ever spent
probably

Reminds me how much I wish Spectrasonics would launch an updates StylusRMX.

Wow, nice.

Reminds me how much I wish Spectrasonics would launch an updates StylusRMX.

I actually emailed them about this as Recycle is now free which makes Stylus very relevant for breaks and other high tempo slicing. I got a response which was cool but no actual info on the RMX future plans.

He should probably consider putting a limiter in this... +268db spikes heh

Very cool though, bought

I got an incredibly loud white noise blast the first time I opened it up.
