One vocal · One chain

Hear the chain
plugin by plugin.

This is a real vocal running the exact 13-insert RysUp chain we’d use in a session — same order you’d stack it in your DAW. Power the inserts on one by one and hear the vocal come together, then drop the finished chain on the beat.

  • Each insert feeds the next — powering one on wakes everything before it.
  • Playback never restarts. Toggle mid-line and A/B it like a session.
  • No loudness tricks — every bounce is the same take, same level path.

Finish the entire vocal chain

One plugin solves one stage.
A vocal preset connects the full chain.

Use this plugin when you want focused control over one mix job. When you need a DAW ready starting chain for tuning, cleanup, dynamics, tone, and space, compare the vocal presets built for your recording software.

From the build log

What we actually check before shipping.

Practical notes from the Rys Up workflow so this page gives more than a generic plugin description.

01

Vocal-first workflow

RysUpBeat is tested in real vocal chains before release, not just as a generic audio effect.

02

Format status

RysUpBeat ships as an instrument in AU, VST3 and AAX on macOS, plus VST3 and AAX on Windows 64 bit. Install, activate and update it through the free RysUpHub app.

03

Release cadence

Updates ship through RysUpHub so fixes and new workflow improvements reach active customers quickly.

Up close

Slice it. Mix it.

The Beat page writes the groove. Sound is where the slices live, and Mix is where the kit gets finished.

Every hit, on a pad and a key

Every hit, on a pad and a key

Record, grab the last 15 seconds, or load a file, and the slices show up as pads colored by lane. Chop mode puts one slice on each key. Pitch mode plays the selected slice across the keyboard. Re-slice any time with Sensitivity and Min Gap.

A mixer built into the kit

A mixer built into the kit

Each lane gets volume, pitch, pan, tone, reverb and delay sends, an envelope and its own low and high cut. Below that sit the kit level and pitch, a shared reverb and delay, and a master Crunch with its own filter.

Built different

Small team. Real humans. Shipping daily.

The big plugin brands take years between updates. We ship improvements every day — because we're small, fast, AI-accelerated, and actually listening to the people using our plugins.

We iterate faster than anyone

Leading AI in our dev workflow means we ship new features, new plugins, and bug fixes on a near-daily cadence. Waves took 20 years to update their EQ. We update every week.

You ask, we build

Tell us what you want in the plugin and we'll build it. Suite subscribers get direct access to the dev team — submit feature requests and see them shipped, usually within the week.

Here to disrupt, not extract

No iLok dongles. No paid "upgrade plans." No sales teams taking a cut. We skip the middlemen and price our plugins at what they're actually worth. Pro-grade DSP at indie prices.

Got feedback? Send it our way — we read every message, and we ship what the community asks for.

Built for pro records

RysUpBeat turns any audio into a playable drum kit. Drop in a file or record straight into the plugin, and it slices every hit, sorts the slices into four lanes plus a kick, and generates a beat from them. Hit Generate again for the next one. Every slice also lands on your keyboard, and every performance control can be mapped to MIDI.

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know.

What does RysUpBeat do?
It turns any audio into a beat. Load or record a sound, and RysUpBeat detects every hit, cuts it into slices, sorts the slices into four lanes plus a kick, and generates a 16-step pattern from them. Press Generate for a new beat, step back through the ones you liked, and save the keepers.
What audio can I put into it?
Drag in or load WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3 files, or record into the plugin from its main input or its sidechain. Capture Last grabs the last 15 seconds of whatever just played, even if you never pressed Record, and you can set it as high as 30 seconds.
Can I control it with MIDI?
Yes. Record, Stop and Slice, Capture Last, Play, Generate, next and previous beat, next and previous genre, Save Beat and every plugin parameter can be learned to a MIDI note or CC. Learned controls keep working with the plugin window closed, so you can capture, slice and play a beat live without touching the mouse.
Can I play the slices on a keyboard?
Yes. In Chop mode each key plays a different slice. In Pitch mode the selected slice plays chromatically across the keyboard. You set the root note, and the key strip shows which keys trigger which slices.
How does the beat generator work?
Pick a genre or leave it on Auto, then press Generate. Density, Syncopation and Symmetry shape the pattern, and two pads vary the pattern and the sound choices around the current beat. Browse Beats offers 24 more takes on the same sound, and the history steps back through your last 64 beats.
Can I edit the pattern by hand?
Yes. Switch the Beat page to Steps to edit the 16-step grid on every lane, with A and B patterns, pattern chains, 14 groove templates and per-lane nudge. The kick lane has its own grid, its own sample, and it can duck the other lanes.
Does it follow my DAW tempo?
Yes. Sync follows your host transport and tempo. Without it, RysUpBeat plays from its own tempo, and a half time and double time switch changes the feel without touching the pattern.
Which formats and systems does it run on?
RysUpBeat is an instrument plugin in AU, VST3 and AAX on macOS, plus VST3 and AAX on Windows 64 bit. Install, activate and update it through the free RysUpHub app. No iLok or USB dongle is required.
Is it included in the Suite?
Yes. An active Suite subscription and the $249 perpetual Suite both include RysUpBeat, along with every paid plugin released while your access is active.
What if I run into a problem?
RysUpBeat is covered by the Rys Up Audio 30-day fix-it guarantee. Send the details through https://rysupaudio.com/pages/contact-us and we will work with you on a fix or the available refund path.
