DEMO 1: Here is a range of FlexibeatzII effects applied to a vocal sample. The order of effects applied is: raw vocal sample, Chorus, Distortion, Timestretch, Frequency Envelope, Delay, EQ, Layering of Pitchshifted up + raw vocal sample + Pitchshifted down, Remix, Reverb, Ring Modulator, Vocoder example 1, Vocoder example 2, Stutter, AutoWah example 1, Autowah Example 2, LoFi (Sample Rate and Bit Reduction):

DEMO 2: This short FlexibeatzII pattern is not intended to showcase any artistic virtuosity on my part (or lack thereof), but rather to demonstrate in a short sequence a number of features of the application. These are:
*Where you would expect the kick drum to be, I have substituted instead a sound created by FlexibeatzII via FM synthesis.
*One of FlexibeatzII’s distortion effects has been applied to the bass sound.
*The ‘Testing One Two Three’ vocal snippet has been automatically remixed (cut up and rearranged with reversal of some slices) by FlexibeatzII.
*Accent has been applied to some of the hi-hat notes, giving a sense of ‘movement’ to the hi-hat sequence.
*Volume automation has been applied to the bass sound. About half way into the sequence, you can hear the bass sound fade out, and then re-appear at maximum volume.

DEMO 3: This is the same pattern as in DEMO 2, but with the FM-synthesized sound replaced with a kick drum sample, and with FlexibeatzII midi-synced to a DAW (the free Anvil Studio in this case, but of course you can use any DAW: Reaper, Cubase etc or even trigger FlexibeatzII from an external hardware sequencer). Here, Anvil Studio is playing a piano sequence and is sending midi beat clock to FlexibeatzII, resulting in FlexibeatzII playing along in time with the piano part. I’ve used the free LOOPBE virtual midi port to connect Anvil Studio with FlexibeatzII. The PDF Help/Tutorial file in the 'Download It' section explains how to do this.

DEMO 4: ALTERNATE TIME SIGNATURES. FlexibeatzII does not limit you to 4/4 time. The PDF Help/Tutorial file explains how beats with 3/4 time, 5/4 time etc can be created:
