FREE · STUTTER EDIT 2 ALTERNATIVE · VST3 / AU
A free Stutter Edit 2 alternative for beatmakers.
Stutter Edit 2 ($199) is built for live performance: you hold a MIDI key and it fires a pre-built stutter gesture. SCRAMBLE is built for beats: twist the cube and every position is a new mix of stutters, rolls, gates, reverses and tape stops, all locked to your tempo. It's free.
Hear it.
Real loops through real CHAOS presets, nothing else added. Tap DRY to hear the original.
