01Overview

ChopBeast 2 Upgrade from v1 is meant for producers who already own ChopBeast 1 and want the newer version without buying the full product. W. A. Production says the sequel adds deeper per-slice control, including per-chop volume, pitch randomization to musical intervals, and a lock option that keeps the position and effects of chosen slices while the rest randomizes. Drag in an audio file, select up to 32 chops, and trigger or audition the results via MIDI.

03In depth

Per-Slice Control and Randomization

Each chop can be edited on its own. The plugin offers per-chop volume, reverse, pitch, declick and formant shifting, so you can balance individual slices instead of the whole loop.

Multiple melodic randomization modes let you generate new arrangements. Pitch randomization can target octaves, fifths, thirds, and major and minor intervals. Lock position and FX on the slices you want to keep, then randomize around them.

Syncing Chops to Your DAW

ChopBeast 2 can sync playback to your DAW tempo so chops stay on the beat, with half time and double time modes available. Link playback to the DAW to keep a chopped loop aligned to bar position.

MIDI audition supports both one shot and loop playback, and the sequence can be exported to your DAW for further processing. A full sequence preview lets you fine-tune the arrangement before export.
