Image Line Gross Beat

Image Line Gross Beat is a time and volume manipulation effect designed for repetition, scratching & gating effects.

Instant and powerful ...

Gross beat is perfect for real-time or rendered gating, glitch, repeat, scratching and stutter performances. Gross Beat stores audio in a 2-bar rolling buffer under the control of 36 user definable time and volume envelopes, giving you unlimited creative control.

Live or automated performance

Gross Beat Time and Volume presets can be linked to a keyboard, pad controller or automation source for on-the-fly changes to the preset. Preset slots can be set to momentary (key-held), return to base (slot 1) or hold mode on a per-preset basis. Preset-change synchronization can be set from immediate through to 4 beats (1 bar).

Let our FL Studio Guru explain you how to automate Gross Beat using automation clips or the FL keyboard pianoroll.

Gating & volume effects

In addition to the gating possibilities afforded by the spline based envelope, Gross Beat is perfect for side-chain effects without the need to link to an audio source. Just select one of the ducking-style presets for instant side-chain pumping.

The TRON Legacy legacy ...
