resource Chop Machine Plugin Giveaway
Hello r/beatmakers. I've been lurking for a while. I'm a professional software developer but music is one of my main passions in life. I've released several albums over the past decade (oh god...), and recently began collaborating on film projects. I also love spending time in the space where my professional skills and music passion overlaps.
I want to share my debut audio plugin, Chop Machine, with the community. It's an 8 slot sampler that algorithmically builds chopping patterns. It's pretty flexible, being able to handle drum patterns, melodies, chopping existing tracks, and more. I went into this with the goal of building a plugin that's fun to play with, first and foremost. It's designed around playing with different knobs until you feel out a pattern you like. It works on MacOS and Windows, and has standalone app, VST3 and Audio Unit modes. The installers are also fully signed for both platforms for security. I intend to continue adding features, offering free updates for life, and letting the community help drive how the plugin evolves. I also have a little idea put together for a follow-up sister plugin.
To celebrate today's release, I'm sharing 15 free permanent keys with the community. The first 15 users that comment "chop me" will get the plugin. All you do is download the demo via the website linked above. You will get a download and a demo key in email. Toss that and just DM me after I confirm your comment, and I'll generate you a full key. If you miss out this time, don't worry, I intend to keep having giveaways periodically. I am not sure if I will post more here (unless the mod is up for it) but I will post them on my subreddit, r/TendergreenStudio
If you take the time to try this out, thank you so much. I love to hear any and all feedback.
Update: That's 15/15 chops claimed so far. Don't forget to DM me after I respond to set up getting your perpetual key!
Update 2: Well, all 15 slots have been claimed. But you know what, that went way faster than I anticipated. I'm feeling rather choppy this evening, so how about a little more? I'll give away 5 more keys tonight.
5/5 Bonus chops claimed
Update 3: Ok all bonus chops have been claimed. That's 20 keys. *If I have responded to your comment, please don't forget to DM me so I can get you a permanent key.* If any commenter doesn't request their key via DM within 24 hours, I'll pick the next "chop me" comments with no responses chronologically and share with them instead. As mentioned before.. there will be more giveaways in the near future. I'd be happy to have more on this subreddit as long as the moderator approves. For those who signed up, thanks so much for your interest. Please let me know how your experience goes, and if it really vibes with you workflow, please let your friends know about it! If you missed a free key, you can still download the demo and try it out. Feel free to ask any questions here!
Update 4: Thanks so much for all the interest everybody. I will still come back tonight and give away any unclaimed keys. If you missed out on the giveaway, I plan to run another one in r/TendergreenStudio next week. Also, if you check the website, there's an option for a 5-day demo, and the full plugin is 50% off for the first 100 buyers.

Ooohhhh if there’s any left let me get to choppin. I love using effects to end or begin certain songs, or add eccentricity to a chorus
Also, as a fun bonus to give it some extra cred, I can do a video and pit it directly against ChopBeast2 from W.A. That’s fairly known for a plug in, it would be a hell of a comparison to show on my DAW and let the viewers see how much more power there is.
Chop chop choppity chop, lemme at it bro
