ChopBeast 2

Rip & Rebuild

The creature has evolved...

We didn't just add a "2" to the box - we re-engineered the Beast to be smarter, sharper, and far more dangerous. Whilst the original plugin mastered the art of the beautiful mistake, the sequel grants you total mastery over the chaos. From the swing-heavy stutters of 90s legends like Todd Edwards to the hyper-edited precision of Disclosure and Porter Robinson, rhythmic slicing has been the heartbeat of electronic music for decades. ChopBeast 2 takes this legacy further, breathing new life into percussion, melodies, vocals, or entire mixes to create EDM ecstasy and French House flair. By blending surgical per-slice control with intelligent randomization, you're conjuring melodic manipulation like never before.

Rhythmical Revolution

ChopBeast 2 features new innovations inspired by community feedback, and integrated to provide a seamless workflow for creative slicing. Brand new to this version:

• Deeper per-slice control, including Lock option for position and FX - so you can keep the building blocks of your sequence, whilst randomizing around it.
• Volume control for each and every slice, to help balance your sound.
• Pitch randomization to discrete Octaves, Fifth, Third, Major and Minor intervals, for the most melodic transformations. Formant shaping toggle also available.
• MIDI One Shot and Hold options for Daft Punk style per-chop looping.
• Sync playback to your DAW's tempo to lock your chops to the beat of your track. Half time and Double time options are also available.
• Link playback to DAW so your chopped loop syncs to bar position.

Favorite Features

ChopBeast 2 retains the core features of the previous version - including many popular playback options:

• Declick slices: Achieve seamless transitions between chops, eliminating unwanted clicks and pops for a polished and professional sound.
• Independent chop preview: Audition each slice individually, giving you precise control over your rhythms.

• Sample rate matching: Change your DAW's sample rate without affecting the playback within ChopBeast 2.
• Preserved sample integrity: Load a sample and retain its original playback speed and sample rate.
