What is it?

Cue Burn is a free turntable-scratch instrument plugin in VST3 format for Windows 64-bit. Placing a note in the piano roll plays a DJ scratch phrase, and the phrase is built from editable blocks whose pitch, curve, length and note ending can be adjusted in detail.

It offers three modes: a fill mode that sequences blocks into a phrase, a single-pattern mode that repeats one pattern across notes, and a waveform editor for shaping a pattern's curve directly. Users can load their own audio by drag and drop or use one of 27 bundled samples, and save custom patterns for reuse across projects.

The project is tested in FL Studio only and does not support macOS. Its UI is available in English and Japanese, and the source is published under AGPL-3.0.
