Bradley Wayne Myers has released FreezeSlice, available for $2.99.
Freeze any chord into an endless drone, chop it to your tempo, and save stacks to pads you fire live. Smear, Shimmer, Grit, stereo Drift and presets with audio included.
FreezeSlice turns any sound into an endless, playable drone.
Strum a chord, play a keyboard voicing or sing a note, tap ADD, and FreezeSlice holds it at its original pitch for as long as you like. Then chop it in time with your song, color it, spread it across the stereo field, and save it to pads you can fire during a performance
FreezeSlice is an AUv3 audio effect built for live looping and performance. Load it on any channel in your favorite AUv3 host.
