Isotonik Studios has introduced a new Max for Live device by Dillon Bastan.
A free, supercharged evolution of Ableton’s classic Beat Repeat, BEAST Repeat comes packed with pitch shifting, granular stretching, spectral processing, filter sweeps, panning, formant shifting, and a full parameter snapshot system that turns a simple stutter into a full creative performance tool.
Beat Repeat is one of Ableton Live’s most beloved devices — a creative stutter machine that’s launched a thousand drops, fills, and glitch moments. But what if it could do so much more? Dillon Bastan asked exactly that question, and BEAST Repeat is the answer: a free, massively expanded Max for Live audio effect that takes everything you love about Beat Repeat and wraps it in a vast, modular system of pitch tools, spectral processing, granular stretching, dynamic parameter control, and expressive performance features.
This is not just Beat Repeat with a few extra knobs. BEAST Repeat is a completely rethought repeat engine where every parameter — from interval and gate to panning, filter, pitch, and formant — can decay, spray, envelope, and boomerang across each repeat cycle. It’s a glitch artist’s dream, a sound designer’s rabbit hole, and a live performer’s secret weapon, all wrapped into a single free device.
BEAST Repeat is free to download for Ableton Live 10 or higher (Suite or Standard with Max for Live installed).
