Beat Munger

	Beat Munger
	Beat Munging is a new real-time DSP tool that analyzes your drum loops
	and phrases, automatically determines the tempo, and then perfectly loops
	the sample for ultimate groove preservation. Beat Munging also allows you
	to change the loop’s time signature (i.e. from 4/4 to 7/8), tempo, swing
Note - Beat Munger is	factor, and individually manipulate beats within the loop, all in real-time.
	Through complex spectral analysis, the Analyzer determines the high
only available on Ultra series	points in the energy curve (the beats), locates and remembers the location
Emulators because it requires	of transients in the signal, and extracts the tempo (displayed in the Analysis
mucho processor horsepower.	Results field). Once the analysis is complete, the main Beat Munger screen is
	displayed. Pressing Play allows you to hear the loop. Adjust the controls
	and hear the changes in real-time (it may take a second or two to hear the
	results after moving a control, depending on the source data or the position of the
	loop). When you’re satisfied with the settings, press OK to process the actual
	sample data. The sample will be backed-up for UNDO and the newly
	processed sample will REPLACE the source sample. Back up the original
	sample first if you want to keep it!
