A LITTLE TAPE LOGIC. A LOT OF POSSIBILITY.

A moment played.
A world on repeat.

A tape-style looper for iPad. Layer your playing, send it backwards,
change its pace—and let something new take shape.

Four stereo loop strips with waveforms, independent record and play heads, and tape-style controls.
RECORD. RETURN. FIND SOMETHING NEW.

01 / THE INSTRUMENT

Small gestures.
Slow transformations.

A phrase becomes a layer.
A layer meets another.
The familiar starts to shift.

01LAYER

Four loops. One conversation.

Give each strip its own length, level, and movement. Short phrases circle inside longer ones, all counting bars at the same tempo.

02RESHAPE

Two heads. Different ideas.

Record and playback have their own speed and direction. Turn a phrase up an octave, run it backwards, or let it travel back and forth.

03EVOLVE

Let old layers make room.

Overdub to build a texture. Lower feedback to let earlier layers fade as you play over them. Undo the last overdub, or bring it back with redo.

04BEGIN

Start with your first note.

Set the length and what happens after recording. A count-in gives you time; Wait starts with your playing and remembers its place in the bar.

05WEATHER

Leave a little wear on it.

Add slow drift, flutter, saturation, dropouts, and noise to the loops. Give the whole mix some tape character while your monitored input stays clean.

06PERFORM

A few controls. All four strips.

MIDI Learn puts recording, overdubbing, undo, and more under your fingers. Move between active strips with the same small set of pads and knobs.

02 / THE TAPE TRICK

Record one way.
Return another.

The record head writes the moment.
The play head decides how it comes back.
They don’t have to agree.

TWO HEADS / ONE STRIPILLUSTRATION · NO AUDIO
An octave up. Twice the pace.

Record at ½× and play at 1×: your phrase returns an octave higher and twice as fast.

¼× / ½× / 1× / 2×

In the app, both heads can run forward, backward, or ping-pong.
Touch a waveform to move the active head. Drag to scrub through a loop.

03 / KEEP THE MOMENT

From an idea
to something worth keeping.

Ready for a quiet experiment,
or a place in your live setup.

AUv3

Alongside your instruments.

Play standalone on iPad or inside AUM and Audiobus 3. Tempo and transport follow the host, and your strips’ settings and audio return with the session.

24-bit WAV

Take the sound with you.

Save a strip as a stereo WAV, or bring in any WAV from Files. Saved recordings remember their tempo, length, and place in the bar.

SET → PLAY

Keep your starting point.

Save a project with all its audio and settings. Or save a template with just the setup, ready for a different performance.

16:00

Room for longer thoughts.

Four strips share a 16-minute stereo recording pool. Choose lengths from 1 to 64 bars at 1×, from a repeating gesture to an unfolding passage.

A little repetition.
Something you didn’t expect.
