FREE · TRANCE GATE · VST3 / AU
A free trance gate that chops anything on the grid.
Hold a pad, gate it in 16ths and suddenly it's a rhythm part. SCRAMBLE's CHOP does gate patterns for volume, filter or pan, always on the beat, and BEAT SCRAMBLE goes further by re-ordering the slices themselves. Free.
Hear it.
Real loops through real BEAT SCRAMBLE presets, nothing else added. Tap DRY to hear the original.

Questions
How do I get the CHOP sound fast?
Pick MORE FX and open the CHOP IT UP preset folder: 12 presets where CHOP is the main effect (3 are in the free version, all 12 in the Bundle). Then twist the cube for more, and drag CHOP's bar in WHAT'S LIT to set how hard it hits.
Is it free?
Yes. All 8 FX modes, the cube, the sequencer and 237 presets are free, no time limit. The $49 Bundle adds all 2,800 presets plus the full vocal chain.
Can I draw my own pattern?
No, CHOP uses fixed on-beat templates picked by the cube.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. Mac gets VST3 and AU (Apple Silicon and Intel). Windows gets VST3 plus a standalone app. It loads in FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro and other DAWs. Not Pro Tools yet (no AAX).
