What RysUpBeat is
RysUpBeat is an audio plugin that turns audio into playable drum sounds and generated beats. It detects hits and slices them into four lanes plus a kick. Users can import WAV, AIFF, FLAC, or MP3 files, or capture audio from the plugin input or a sidechain. Capture Last records up to 30 seconds, with 15 seconds as the default described on the product page. Beat generation offers genre selection or Auto, plus Density, Syncopation, and Symmetry controls. Browse Beats provides 24 variations, and the history holds the last 64 beats. Users can edit a 16-step grid with A and B patterns, chains, 14 groove templates, and per-lane nudge. Chop, Pitch, and Dual modes make slices playable from a keyboard; performance controls and plugin parameters can be MIDI-mapped. Sync can follow the DAW host or use the plugin's own tempo, including half-time and double-time options. RysUpBeat runs on macOS and Windows, with AU, VST3, and AAX formats on macOS and VST3 and AAX on Windows 64-bit. It costs $49.99 per one-time purchase or is included in Suite at $9.99/mo (annual).
