Beat ReBuilder: Drum Effects Plugin by Stagecraft Software Free Download

Stagecraft Software describes Beat ReBuilder as using audio classification to detect hits such as snare, kick and high hat in a beat. Once the hits are identified, each one becomes a target for your own sounds. You can stack samples over the original transients to thicken a loop, or swap a hit out entirely to change the groove.

The same detection data can be dragged out as MIDI. That makes the plugin useful for building new patterns from an existing loop, or for moving a sampled groove into a separate drum machine where you can edit the notes directly.

Beat ReBuilder lets you add effects to any individual detected sample rather than to the full loop. The developer's examples include putting heavy reverb on a kick or adding a glitch sequence to a ride cymbal. Effects can be chained, so each sample can carry several processes in sequence.

Because the chain applies per hit, you can treat one drum element very differently from the rest of the kit without splitting the loop into separate tracks by hand.
