MicroDicer is our new PC VSTi beatslicer,. In MicroDicer we have tried to create simple, easy to use and inexpensive slicing program.
With MicroDicer you can drag a wav or rex/rex2 sample in, this will be automatically sliced and assigned to midi notes. You can then drag from MicroDicer into your host and the midi settings for the slices will be automatically exported into your host. Below are some example of MicroDicer in action.
- you can use 16/24 bit mono & stereo .wav and Propellerhead's Rex 1 & 2 format samples. You can drag and drop these files from other applications or alternatively you can use the file loading system, where you can preview them before you load them in (for rex files these can be played back in sync with the host tempo)
- you can splits samples into as may 128 different slices , samples can be sliced using automatic beat detection, into equal parts or at a set number of beats
- automatic splitting of slices and mapping of these to notes when you load in a sample
- each midi note can trigger any slices, with each triggered slice having it's own pitch, volume, panning, choke group, output channel and playback mode .
- one to four output channels
- drag and drop of midi slice files into your host, these midi files can be set so they are a set number of bars long or at a set tempo.
- ability to save each slice as seperate waves or selected slices as one file, also you can drag and drop selected slices to other programs
- 3 playback keys, loop, rnd and sequence, where all the slices can be played in order by pressing a key, this playback is autosynced to the host 's tempo.
- very low cpu usage, and 8 preset slots
- MicroDicer gaphics were designed by E-Phonic, and is fully skinnable, several skins are supplied.

pHATmatik can load REX files (type 1 only) created by Propllerheads ReCycle, or .pHAT files (you’ll just have to wait and see). Each slice of the REX file is essentially a sample in pHATmatik, allowing you to trigger individual transients from the original loop via MIDI note-on messages. pHATmatik can also extract the MIDI timing information from the REX file and save it to a Standard Midi File for import into your VSTi host.
pHATmatik PRO is the first tool of its kind that can effortlessly play back any loop locked to tempo in your host environment. No more artificial impediments to creativity: pHATmatik PRO puts you in control. Use loops at any tempo, in any key, instantly from within your digital audio workstation. No more switching back and forth between unreliable tools and dealing with confusing, proprietary file formats. pHATmatik PRO loads any loop in industry-standard wav or aiff format, and supports import of ACID-ized wav files. pHATmatik PRO works for the musician, not the other way around.
*Load and slice any WAV or AIFF on the fly (Like Recycle) *Support ACIDized WAV's *Preview in time (i.e tempo synched sample preview) *Per-slice editing: - Reverse in place - Replace slices withother samples - Individual slice Amplitude envelope - Process individual slices with VST FX destructively *Exports groove MIDI file *6 outputs
