Riptide
Drop a loop. Chop it. Rebuild it into something that's yours. Riptide slices any drum loop into a step grid, then lets you reshuffle, glitch and re-sequence it in real time - one effect per step, locked to your host tempo. The fastest path from "a loop I like" to "a beat nobody's heard."

Drag a loop.
Make it yours.
Riptide is a drum-loop chopper and glitch re-sequencer. Drag a breakbeat, a one-bar groove, a found loop - anything - onto the waveform. Riptide slices it into a step grid - 8, 16 or 32 steps across one to eight bars - and drops those slices into a sequencer you can rearrange at will. One effect per step adds stutter, reverse, crush and gating, and everything plays back locked to your project tempo - so a 97 BPM loop sits perfectly in a 138 BPM track.
Drag-and-drop chopping
Drop any drum loop and Riptide slices it into a step grid - 8, 16 or 32 steps, one to eight bars.
Step re-sequencer
Reorder slices into a brand-new pattern, then click any step to assign an effect - crush, reverse, stutter, gate and more.
Chaos
One re-roll for instant happy accidents, biased by your algorithm - Straight, Shuffle, Glitch, Half-time or Chaos. Lock any flag to keep it.
