Parrot: Loop-Based Sampling Delay Effect by Klevgrand

Parrot creates rhythmic patterns by sampling slices of incoming audio and repeating them in a sequenced loop. Control over loop length, pitch, variation, dynamics and filtering lets the result move from a steady rhythm to broken, glitchy textures that change over time.

The sequencer responds strongly to small parameter changes, so minor adjustments can produce new pulses, stutters or harmonic shifts. Developer Klevgrand positions the plugin as suited to both structured grooves and more exploratory, generative sounds.

Parrot can sync to your DAW or run in free-running mode, which gives a more exploratory result. Each step offers its own pitch control and accent, and note values can vary to create evolving rhythms.

The filter section has multiple modes and evolves over time, and a separate dry-signal filter lets you shape the original sound independently. A humanizer adds subtle timing variation, and mute and solo controls work during sampling. Parameters can be locked so they stay fixed when you switch presets.
