you know before I buy anything I gotta run it by Holonology
this is the first multi fx plug of this type to peak my interest since infiltrator really
I really don’t like amen break demos because they go so far to defeat the point of demoing a sample mangler but this one does show some things
Interesting. Beatsurfuing stuff can go more towards esoteric and off the wall, and dare I say it they’ve even got a bit of Freakshow Industries in there. So far Random Metal has gotten my interest from them the most, but haven’t picked it up yet.
The thing that looks interesting to me about this one is the ability to see 4x effects at once to edit them, plus the macro system which should make for easy playability. Infiltrator has the macro system, but not the peformance widget, so it would be interesting to see how this one plays out for folks.
on top of that if i’m not mistaken what we see here is not the final editing stage of the fx, apparently the fx we see here are made up of editable fx behind the layer we see in these clips…
I know the UI looks interesting but is the quality there for you?
Iv’e only really preset surfed so far with mostly drone stuff from the modular – but yeah to me it sounds cool – the presets are less in your face than some other multi-fx plugins
in this clip the quality leans kinda trashy imo but not in a bad way… i’m starting to get a little more interested… if it’s good then it’s good, but it might be one of those bad things that’s still good

sounds like something El-p might use
Currently available via JRR for $46.20 with the code GROUP if you want to save a few pennies, since there’s no trial as I understand it.
extensive intro, I believe the guy doing the Demo was the perfect person for this, but I wish he had used an 80 bpm boombap beat, and some 80bpm Rhodes chords… not because of any genre but because samples that are down tempo and groove based make for the best FX application demos because you can easily tell what effect is being had on the samples pitching, timing, stuttering, resolution etc…
I don’t know why he chose that one clap, and that synth lead sound… otherwise great job imo, it’s just that we can’t get as much out of it as we could have with different samples.
another cheatcode clip
First examples in that last clip are so easy to do with any basic effect chain that it’s obscene. He said the key to it is a good multi effect unit, and as soon as I heard that i Xd out. Obviously a sponsored ad.
oh definitely, I think he makes presets for them… I sent them a message asking them to put out more clips cause beatsurfing always flys under the radar … cheatcode is interesting because it has a different vibe and sonic print than infiltrator 2, shaperbox , and their usual clones that I come across
There’s a gadget in korg gadget that might do this, I think called Abu Dhabi
What’s a good sample chopper recommendation? One that can quickly chop and rearrange, or set 1,2,4,8 bars loop quickly like how it’s done in Tracklib’s software, and then drag the audio quickly into the DAW?
what Daw do you have, it probably already does slicing well?
Ableton Live 12.2 for DAW, but sorry I should add to allow some creative mangling to it and also per note or slice pitch shift.
that’s top tier sample slicing right there, you don’t need anything else
Ohh this is NICE!
Random metal is very dope.
yeah Monkey C’s got some goodies…
@othernet, you can do whatever you want to those simpler slices after you convert them to a drum rack, pitches, notes, the works
For simply re-arranging a group of loops, there’s not much better than Loopflip . If not using Max, then maybe Loopmix, which also does have pitch as a variable, but imo it’s a bit more cluttered and tricky to use, Loopflip is a bit more manual but the results are great.
