ChopBeast 2 is an audio loop slicer and remix plugin that intelligently chops and rearranges audio phrases into rhythmic and melodic variations. It combines surgical per-slice control with randomization to transform percussion, melodies, vocals, and entire mixes—drawing from the legacy of 90s swing-heavy stutters and modern hyper-edited precision in electronic music production.
