Controlling Gross Beat

11-11-2010

Gross Beat is a huge time-saver for glitching, scratching and related time/volume based effects.

This video shows you how...

Gross Beat - Scratch, Glitch and Mayhem Powerhouse

If you are using the live keyboard control method you can download a Gross Beat preset 'Momentary' from Looptalk, thanks to nucleon for providing it. This releases the preset slot on key-release so you don't have to press the slot 1 again to turn off the selected slot.

Bit thanks to JWMMakerofMusic (Jim) for the loan of his cool 'Kowloon' track used in this tutorial. Here's the original (unmolested version) of Kowloon:
