BEAT-SLICER INSTRUMENT

BUNKA

Load a drum loop, detect the transients, and re-sequence the slices into new patterns — a host-synced internal sequencer, pitch-preserving or MPC-style repitch, a 12-slot pattern bank, and finger-drummable slices on top.

WHAT IT DOES

Your loop, rearranged

TRANSIENT SLICING

Detects onsets and cuts on the attack, with a grid-slice fallback when a loop has no clean transients to find.

12-SLOT PATTERN BANK

Each pattern is a different arrangement of the same slices. Launch patterns from the pads or MIDI notes 36–47 — switches phase-lock to the bar instead of retriggering.

PITCH PRESERVE OR REPITCH

Time-stretch to host tempo with independent pitch, or go full MPC-style resample where pitch tracks tempo — a pitch knob layers on top either way.

SHUFFLE, RANDOMIZE, LOCK

Musically-aware shuffle pairs bassy slices to strong beats; randomize gets wilder with rests and stutters. Lock any pad so reslicing or reloading leaves it untouched.
