The looper that sees what you hear.

The world's first all-in-one Video, Audio & MIDI live looper plugin. Capture sound and motion together, then build living loop circles you can resize, stretch, stack, and layer with every overdub, each loop carrying its own video feed, locked in perfect sync and a real-time editor algorithm.

This is a Mockup looper visualisation that ships in the plug-in — radial waveform spikes between an inner and outer ring, with overdubs stacked as concentric inner bands. Click RECORD, play into your mic, click again to set the loop length. Hit OVERDUB to stack another layer.

MIDI mode

Same circle.
Now it sees notes.

Flip a looper to MIDI mode and the radial waveform becomes a piano roll wrapped around a clock face. Each Note color and thickness is determined by velocity.

  • Pitch lanesNotes radius = pitch · lower notes inside, higher outside
  • Velocity colorSoft → blue · medium → cyan/amber · hard → red
  • Duration arcsHeld notes draw a clockwise arc from the note-on point
  • Onset flashesEach note pulses when the playhead crosses it

Auto Instrument · the secret weapon

One loop in.
An 88-key instrument out.

Record any melodic sound, a soda can, a vocal note, a glass sound, a metal ding, any melodic sound. Auto Instrument detects the root pitch, snaps it to the nearest semitone, retunes the sample to perfect concert pitch, and maps it polyphonically across every key on the piano. One click. Sixteen voices. Yours.

What's inside

Add Multple Loopers & They Will Sync With Each Other

Built For Live Looper by a Live Looper

01

Living loop circles

Every loop draws itself as a circle with the waveform painted as radial spikes between an inner and outer ring. Overdubs stack as concentric inner bands so you can see every layer at a glance.

02

Host-locked sync

Loops snap to bar boundaries. Loop Buffer captures the last 1, 2 bars as a synced loop the instant you tap, even after the moment has passed.

03

Sample slice

Transient-grid slicing turns any recorded loop into a playable instrument. Trigger slices from pads, MIDI keys, or the integrated NI Traktor Kontrol F1 / APC40 mappings.

04

Mission control video

Each instance captures its own video feed and writes a .mov with the looper's audio embedded — perfect for tutorials, social cuts, or piping visuals into Resolume via Syphon.

05

Time-stretch & reverse

Pitch-locked stretching keeps loops in key while you change their tempo. Per-loop reverse, with smooth crossfaded boundaries on retriggers.

06

Automation lab

Draw automation directly on a per-loop timeline. Zoom tight on micro-edits, or sketch sweeping macros across the whole arrangement. Super Intuitive Visual Automation System
