I’ve fixed a minor bug in the LoopDrive VST plugin. If you load the plugin with its initial loop, there was a error message saying that it couldn’t find the wave file. I removed this message, and if you now load in wrong wave files it doesn’t use the windows message box for showing the error message, because in some hosts it causes the audio drivers to stop working.

And if want to play with its source, here is the SynthMaker schematic.

Here is the first plugin in this blog. I’ve made it long time ago, and as image-line asked me to update it, so they can include it in their new FruityLoops Studio8, I did it.

To give users a chance to play with it without having to buy FL-Studio, I decided to publish it here.

What it is: It’s a Loop slicer and rearranger with some weird FX. So you load in a drum loop wave, set the tempo, and LoopDrive slices it into beats. Now you can use the build-in sequencer grid to rearrange the beats. There is also a “reverse sequencer” which enables you to play selected beats backwards. After rearranging the loop you can apply a filter, bit crusher, distortion, overdrive and even a grain FX. There’s also the possibility to set the FX order, which gives you more control over the FX.

There are also some other things that I haven’t mentioned here, so try it yourself.
