ChopBeast: Audio Chop and Remix Plugin by W. A. Production Free Download

Each chop can be pitched and reversed on its own, so a single loop can yield several different textures. Creative formant shifting changes the timbre of individual slices, which helps when a chopped vocal needs to sit differently from its source.

Declicking smooths the joins between chops, reducing the clicks and pops that often appear when slices are rearranged. Independent chop preview lets you audition one slice at a time, and full sequence preview lets you check the whole arrangement before you export it.

Global transpose shifts the whole pattern at once. Multiple randomization modes generate variations, and undo lets you step back when a result goes too far.

ChopBeast can be triggered over MIDI, which makes it possible to play chopped material like an instrument. When a result works, you can export it into your DAW for further editing. The sample rate matching feature keeps playback unchanged if you change your DAW's sample rate, and loaded samples keep their original speed and sample rate.

The interface is resizable and the developer describes the plugin as CPU friendly. A full PDF manual and a tutorial video are included, which helps with the less obvious controls.

The plugin suits producers who build beats or remixes from loops, vocals and full mixes, and anyone who wants to generate rhythmic variations from a single source.
