It is also possible to configure the effects to engage immediately once pressed, or to trigger at the first beat of the next bar. One Shot and Loop play modes cause the effect to either play once for a set time or latch on indefinitely, whilst a Hold mode will keep the effect active only whilst the pad is held down. The pads can be clicked directly within the plug-in or triggered via MIDI, and once engaged, will immediately apply their processing to the input signal. Created in conjunction with AIR and described by the company as "the ultimate rhythmic tool", the plug-in provides a simple and intuitive way to chop beats, create DJ-style scratches, trigger reverse, half time, and pitch-shifting effects and much more.įlex Beat’s GUI provides a grid of 16 performance pads, each of which can be loaded with an effect from the built-in preset library, which is divided into categories based on the style of effect.
