Your favorite beat mangling tool

i use reaktor for many mangling issues but pluggo is pretty helpful as well.

Old skool dirtiness. Sample some loops, set the arpeggiator a few BPM faster or slower than your song tempo and requantize.

Glitched, freaked and tweaked.

extraordinarily flexible to mangle in realtime as a live performance tool, check the tim exile video someone posted in another thread, and that's just using ensembles available out of the box (that is, w/o doing any mods and/or coding of your own).

re the 450 comment, i think reaktor for $450 is a ridiculous bargain (all the synths, fx, drummachines, sample manglers you could ever need) if you're looking for some outboard gear. put another way, i have live suite, but i'd give that up long before reaktor (others may disagree, and it's a close call for me based on how much i like operator and sampler, just saying it's definitely in the discussion, though CPU load can be crushing).

Can you explain that a little further please ?
You do...what ?

funny, that's what the machinedrum offers sampling wise, but 12 bit rather than 16 (so it's even more retro, while remaining very current in other ways).

It's not in the U/L as it has it's very own thread; BLU is deamed to be the current pinnacle of user-designed patches.

Beat-Lookup Thread

You'll have to trawl through 30 pages of posts to find the various versions, but it's completely worth it. There's some very interesting read in there, too, regarding sampling and it's application.

Awesome, much appreciated.

Satisfies all beatmangling needs.
A nice BJ will prob get you mangling beats like no other...

I think I've seen you make this kind of comment before mike, is this used as a motivational tool at your workplace?

Sorry Coupe70,

I wasn't watching this thread. I use my hardware sampler and record different drum loops on different keys. Adjust loop length for each key. I then set the external arp at 1-2 BPM faster or slower than the song tempo.

Record 8th's, 16th's and 32nds into the computer and then groove quantize. Sometimes no quantizing if I got a good feel.

Glitched and funked cause I'm a little ahead and / or bedhind the beat.

make sense?

depends on what the op means by mangle? sounds like most people are talking about chopping samples in the glithch manner, but if you're talking about making something that sounds like one thing sound like something else, i like kantos, guitar rig, lives grain delay, I do alot of resampling, psp nitro,

insta jungle... its a great plug, i've set up beat repeat to do close to the same thing but i like the way insta jungle works better.

i also use beat repeat, Slice to midi drum racks, and mad effects layering/re sample/ re effect tweak tweak.
