Beat Breaker

Apple

Where to get itIncluded with Logic Pro. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.apple.com

Beat Breaker is a multi-effects audio plugin that reorders incoming audio in real time, allowing you to slice, rearrange, and apply scratching effects to your audio. It excels at creating dynamic beat manipulations through three distinct effect modes—Time, Repeat, and Volume—making it particularly suited for EDM and hip-hop production. This performable effect can help overcome creative blocks by enabling real-time pattern changes and audio variations.
