B-B-B-B-Beat

v0.9.2

A repeater inspired by Ableton's Beat Repeat for Norns, with some added glitchy inspiration from MASF Possessed/MWFX Judder.

This script uses live audio or samples for all of its repeating magic! Read more about the different modes in the guide.

Demo

I'll post a brief demo showing B-B-B-B-Beat in action, soon.

Install/Update

B-B-B-B-Beat can be installed via Maiden's project manager.
