For nearly 20 years, I have been on a tireless and obsessive mission to create the most fluid, free and dynamic, live-music-production workflow possible. It has seemed impossible at times, and I have tried many approaches. Hardware, software, bespoke, hard coded, modular, the lot. But I can now finally and proudly say that I have, with the help of some amazing developers, developed the most complete and freeing live production system ever developed. There were multiple UX, UI and DSP challenges in this very specific and demanding domain and I couldn't be happier or more excited to share this project with you. What is more, despite having jealously guarded this work for myself for years, I am now giving you the option to own it, adapt it, and become part of the community in my discord that will be using and maintaining it.
Downloads, support and tutorials will be coming for all existing Tech Tier Patreon members, and by signing to the tech tier, you can access the software and this awesome and active community. There will be updates in the form of a monthly download link to the latest versions of the requisite software.
The new Beardytron integrates Loopy Pro by A Tasty Pixel. I've been working hard with Michael from A Tasty Pixel and the incredible developer Karolis Gataveckas to bring the VST3 version of Loopy Pro up to the feature set and workflow capabilities my demanding realtime workflow requires, and I'm excited to say that all tech tier patrons will get free access to Loopy Pro VST3 whilst it is in beta.
What is more, if you are on my tech tier you will get access to my effects presets, I have arranged discounts for most of the plugins I use, which will come in the form of exclusive coupon codes for members only.
So. . . what are you waiting for?

Software Requirements:
Mac OS (for now)
TouchOSC (required if you want to use my touch screen template)
(for the full Beardytron, Ableton is required but for the looping component, any DAW capable of hosting VST3's will do fine. Much of the routing and effects chains are ableton specific but we have bitwig users in the community who will be building busily and may be willing to share their work also. )
Hardware Requirements:
Mac Laptop or Desktop
Touch Tablet (Android or Ipad)
