Coldcut + Joey Paranoia have released BeatByte v1.0 – an 8×8 ‘slice sequencer’ for the LaunchPad and Ableton Live.
In this video, Matt Black introduces and demos BeatByte.
Features:
- It’s like an 8 track drum machine but each step of the drum can be different
- 8 channels using 8x 1 bar loops each sliced into 8 pieces
- hit Launchpad buttons to turn slices on or off
- each channel has an on/off button
“Thought we’d give this out as a 2013 present,” says Black. “Feel free to tweak/improve.”

very nice man …good job …. thank you 🙂
stop. whispering.
Could not hear the guy and I could barely hear the sounds. From what I can gather it is a mute sequencer… Not a bad idea and pretty straight forward to implement.
People, people
These guys have given you a brilliant and I might add FREE piece of software and your simplistic brains have nothing to offer except criticism of the narrator’s voice?? What a blast of refreshing obviousness you both must be, I could’ve used your sharp insights at the recent Noel Gallagher gig (he talks funny, and is that a guitar I see?) certainly at the last Lee Perry show (he’s black). Keep up the good work, you two.
Can’t get it to work in ableton live 9.1.2 / 32bit :/
It really looks like a seq I could use.
