Propellerheads Recycle 2.1

Recycle 2.1 description:

ReCycle goes way beyond simply solving groove problems and cleaning up your loop act its 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.
