Version reviewed: v3.6 on Windows
The continuous development and dedicated care that go into the wonderful ShaperBox make it a true role model for how a great plug-in company should operate. The fair and very reasonable update and upgrade prices perfectly reflect this philosophy. I'm more than happy to pay for the passion and attention that fuel this plug-in's evolution. Expecting everything for free may be a valid opinion, but in this case it feels inappropriate - if not downright disrespectful. All the better that this level of quality and innovation is rightfully recognized in the KVR Readers' Choice Awards - a genuine seal of excellence in creative development.

Version reviewed: 11 on Windows
I tried it and was immediately surprised by the good results.
You can easily load a sample into the plugin via drag & drop (also works from the Studio One browser). But there is also an internal browser. Then you select an algorithm and click "Chop". The result almost always sounds good, and if something isn't quite right, you have the control to modify it to your liking. The resulting chop is saved in a pattern and can now be played back with the MIDI note C3. If you then switch to the pattern overview (hamburger menu bottom right), you can create a new pattern by clicking the plus symbol. Each pattern is assigned to a MIDI note (starting from C3).
A nice feature is that you can change the colors of the GUI.
I can recommend this plugin to everyone. It's my go-to plugin for sound chopping.

They could have just made a scalable GUI for Trash 2 and it would have been better in many ways than the third version. The (third) version doesn't even have the great browser. Instead, you can hardly read the presets, the font is so small. That's a big step backwards.

atlas ist meine erste wahl für beats. es macht einfach spaß.
das ding erkennt drums wie von zauberhand und legt aus aus einem definierten pfad eine sogenannte map an. damit ist das erzeugen neuer drumkits und drumsequenzen ein kinderspiel. zufallsergebnisse sind ein kreativ-highlight. die ergebnisse sind immer brauchbar.
regelmäßige updates und guter support inklusive.
