Loop Tools / Beat Slicer VST Plugin - Free Download

Free VST Loop Sampler

Beatburner by Code Audio is a free VST sampler with 10 sample slots. Unfortunately the Beatburner plugin only imports 8- and 16-bit wav-files, but since the Wavosaur audio editor can do batch conversion from mp3, and 24- and 32 bit wav-files (just open it up and press 'B'), this is not a big issue. The Beatburner plugin features 'sync to host', transpose, reverse playback, a randomize function, 5 filters, waveshaper, delay, flanger, and distortion. Everything you need to bring new life to your drum beats, loops or single hit sounds! On top of this Beatburner comes with 48 MB of free bass- and drum loops to get you started!
