WA Production – ChopBeast for WiN

ChopBeast by WA Production isn’t just another loop slicer… it’s your gateway to a world of beautiful randomness, creating order out of chaos. From the classic vocal chops that defined ’90s house via the Nightcrawlers and Todd Edwards, to the super-chopped modern productions of Disclosure and Porter Robinson, chopped audio has been the driving force behind decades of dance hits. Unleash the full power of ChopBeast on percussion loops to create complex rhythmic patterns, stuttering vocal worms, intricate bass riffs, or even apply it to entire mixes for those iconic Daft Punk-style chops.

Pieces of Inspiration

This plugin not only automatically generates unique iterations of an audio loop, but also slices and mashes with uncanny sonic know-how, taking your source material and transforming it into endless rhythmic and melodic possibilities. Drag and drop an audio file, and ChopBeast will instantly slice and rebuild any audio phrase or loop, with up to 32 slices to choose from. Preview or trigger your creations via MIDI for endless experimentation. Features like undo, global transpose, and multiple randomization modes further enhance the musicality. The plugin window is also resizable for an optimized workflow.

Perfection at Every Step

Dive deep into ChopBeast’s granular controls with layered pitch manipulation, formant shifting, click cancellation, and the ability to reverse individual slices. Embrace chaos with multiple randomization options, ensuring that every riff is its own unique creation. Capture your favorite creations and easily export them to your DAW, ready for further processing and sound manipulation.

Rhythmic Revival

ChopBeast has been rewritten from scratch, based on the popular concept of the now defunct plugin “ChopMonster”. Brand new in this version…

• De-click between slices: Achieve smooth transitions between slices, eliminating unwanted clicks and pops for a polished, professional sound.
• Independent slice preview: Listen to each slice individually, giving you precise control over the beats.
• Entire sequence preview: Preview the entire slice sequence in the plugin, allowing you to fine-tune the arrangement before exporting.
• Sample rate match: Change the sample rate of your DAW without affecting playback in ChopBeast.
• Preserve sample integrity: Load a sample and keep its original playback speed and sample rate.
