- 21:00Up to five loopers, with new input overwriting the oldest
- 23:35Threshold setting how loud a sound must be before it records
- 24:57Looper size, and why changing it leaves existing loops alone
- 28:00Jitter shifting loop lengths so the layers drift against each other
- 33:15Reverse and semitone shift, building a twelve-semitone drone underneath
- 37:41Settings: tempo sync, the four transport stop behaviours, crossfade length
What it does
A set of up to five short loopers that arm themselves. Anything crossing an input threshold gets captured, and each new capture replaces the oldest loop, so the bed always reflects what was played most recently. Loop size, hold time, jitter, reverse, semitone shift and crossfade length shape what comes back, and a hold time near zero turns the whole thing into a delay instead of a looper. Loops run free or sync to the host tempo.
In the demo
Jade runs it as an effect in AUM on piano, works through each control while loops accumulate, then drops the hold time to hear it behave as a delay. She later feeds several instruments into one instance and finishes by looping her own voice.
Worth knowing
It records by input detection rather than on command, so it suits ambient and drone playing more than tight rhythmic looping. The desktop version is a separate purchase from Gumroad at a much higher price.
