BeatCreator software was designed to be a powerful rhythmic loop editing/processing/creating sample editor.
BeatCreator provides most common sample editing and dsp tools. As BeatCreator can slice up the loop, this gives you the power to edit/process each slice individually.
On top of that there are tons of unique groovy tools that can make cool variations of your sliced up loops in no time. Most of them are also spiced up with powerful random generators that will get you started in no time.
Here are some key features of "Zero X BeatCreator":
· Slice Processor
· Creates beats out of just any sample or makes unlimited number of variations of your loops. For each slice you control the values of a number of effects, such as filter mode, frequency, resonance, filter decay, pitch and volume/overdrive. The whole sequence of values can be saved and applied to other loops.
· ReArrange
· Re-arranges the order of the slices in the loop.
· Simply drag a slice to alter its position or use the randomizer to achive unexpected and groovy results. It also features a replace tool, letting you replace a slice with another one in the loop.
· Quantize Slice(s), Manual & Automatic
· Automatically quantizes a single slice or all slices in your loop. Swing is supported. Manual quantizing is done simply by dragging the slice marker (while pressing Shift) to its new position.
· Quantize Finalizer
· After quantizing, you can run the finalizer to stretch slices to fill the gaps and compress slices to solve overlaps due to quantizing.
· PCP - Pattern Controlled Processor
· For each slice in the loop, you can set the value of a selected effect by defining a "pattern". There are plenty of effects and pattern to chose between. You can also enter your own pattern or use the random pattern generator. The patterns can be saved and applied to other loops.
· Time Stretch
· The state of the art time stretchers in BeatCreator are excellent for stretching both mono (bass lines, vocals, saxophone and other single note playing instruments) and polyphonic (music, drums and any instrument playing chords) samples.
· Replace
· Either you can replace all slices in a track/loop with another sample or you can mark a group of slices to be replaced.
· There is a neat level match option to keep the dynamics.
· So, for instance, you can replace all kicks in a kick track or replace just the snares in a drum loop or why not be a little wild and use a hihat sample to play the bass line. All this with just a few mouse clicks.
· Formula Wave Shaper
· Create your own sample out of math formulas and for instance use it as raw material to create a groove with the Slice Processor or PCP.
Limitations:
· No Save/Export/SCSI Send and a 30 day time limit of PolyStretcher.
