go get this and have a laugh
this plugin is just stupid fun although I doc it 2 stars for its genuine lack of utility.... it does 1 gimmick in a handful of shades and there are so many situations where if you're in FL like I am most of the time you will get more outta gross beat.... however this is super fun and a tiny CPU hit in part thanks to the host-based GUI. but you don't need a fancy GUI for something so overt and obvious.

Fun, but finicky
Takes a while to understand it, despite the simplicity of the plugin! 🤣 It is simple, does the job and is not supported by the devs, which is a shame as it doesn't work on the latest FL Studio version for me :(
Replacement for Gross Beat
Glad to have a way to tapestop without spending 100+ on Gross Beat.
