pfilter is a free Windows VST that creates a steppy, gated effect, but using filter cut-off instead of volume to give a wider range of possibilities. It uses a variable state filter, triggered between 2 adjustable cut-off values by a tempo-sync’d probability-based step sequencer. An LFO can modulate the filter when triggered and trigger pulse length, attack and release can shape the sound

Features:

• tempo-sync step sequencer, with 2 to 32 steps over a sequence length of 2 to 32 beats
• can be programmed or random, by setting the probability of each step from 0-100%
• seeded randomisation for repeatable loops up to 100 beats long
• resonant variable filter, LP, HP, BP and notch
• filter triggered between upper and lower cut-off values, in either direction
• tempo sync LFO, with 6 waveforms and settings from 1/16 beat to 96 beats
• adjustable pulse length, attack and decay for shaping the modulation
• random swing for step sequencer
• wet/dry mix control
• midi CC and midi learn

Políssonos is a free loop-based MIDI sequencer for Mac & PC designed to “elicit the relation between the rhythmical division of time and the shapes of polygons.”

A simple midi sequencer at its core, Políssonos is mainly a proposal for a loop orientated alternative to the traditional “piano roll” interface.

CodeAudio has released BeatBurner, a freeware Windows beat mangler.

Here’s what they have to say about BeatBurner:

Using innovative wave shaping and filtration methods, Beatburner turns innocent drum beats, loops or sounds into new, fresh and vibrant audio parts for you to incorporate into your musical arrangements.

BeatBurner comes with a myriad of sample loops to get you started but it doesn’t stop there, you can mangle, whittle or process any sound you want! Full automation and preset morphing means there are literally no limits to the soundscapes you can create.

Beatburner is NOT made with Synthedit.
