Akai Pro has released Flex Beat. Here's what they're saying:
Flex Beat is the ultimate rhythmic tool, giving you complete control over the timing and groove of your music. Flex Beat lets you create beat chops, DJ-style scratches, Trance gates and reverse or half-time your audio with ease. Producers of any genre can twist samples beyond recognition or add extra flavor to any loop in your sample collection.
Flex Beat enables you to add rhythm and movement to your music. With a library of hundreds of presets, you can add anything from simple scratches to full-fledged pitch shifting automations with just a few clicks. You can even change existing presets, or create your own patterns to use in your projects.
