Plugin Boutique has launched an exclusive sale on AKAI Professional’s recent rhythmic effect plugin. Flex Beat is designed to give you complete control over the timing and groove of your music, allows you to create beat chops, DJ-style scratches, Trance gates and reverse or half-time your audio with ease.

Flex Beat enables you to add rhythm and movement to your music. With a library of hundreds of presets, you can add anything from simple scratches to full-fledged pitch shifting automations with just a few clicks. You can even change existing presets, or create your own patterns to use in your projects.

The pattern editor helps you compose beats and songs with effortless control over pitch, velocity and steps. With the pattern editor, you can easily edit values in the sequencer like you would in a DAW, adjust curve types and envelope tools, snap notes to the grid, randomize values and save presets.
