ReCycle goes way beyond simply solving groove problems and cleaning up your loop act - it's a highly creative tool that helps you make the most of your grooves. In simple terms, ReCycle lets you do with sampled loops what you can do with beats programmed from individual drum sounds - like alter the tempo, or replace sounds and process them individually. ReCycle turns concrete-rigid loops into musical modeling clay, allowing you, the loopist, to do pretty much what you desire.

Real Life Applications

Tempo and Timing

• Automate the tedious process of making a sampled groove fit the tempo of your song.
• Change the tempo of a groove without altering its pitch.
• Change the timing of the groove - you can even quantize it!

• Change the pitch of a groove without altering its tempo.
• Make pitched grooves (like guitar riffs) fit into songs in other keys.

• Remove and/or replace any sound inside the sampled groove without altering its feel.
• Create variations and fills out of a single loop.
• Alter the volume of the individual sounds in the groove.

• Use ReCycle's Envelope, Transient Shaper and EQ to energize your loop.
• Send different sounds in the groove to different sampler outputs or audio channels, for individual processing.
• Alter the ambience of a groove.
• Automatically normalize the levels of the sounds in the groove for optimum sound quality.

• Automatically isolate and extract individual sounds out of long samples.
• Use the feel of the groove to quantize other MIDI recordings.

ReCycle 2.1 - now joined by Reload and Reason Adapted - is a complete toolkit for the loop oriented producer. It features multiple undos, true Mac OS X support and full 24-bit resolution.
