LooLoo

LooLoo records what you feed it and gives you a loop you can play with. Two independent tracks, each with its own audio path, its own settings, and its own loop length — record on one, overdub on the other, or run them together.

What sets LooLoo apart is what happens after the loop is recorded. A movable playback window lets you shrink the loop to a slice and slide that slice through the recording. Pitch and speed are independent, so you can transpose without slowing down or stretch without changing key — or tie them together with varispeed for the tape-machine feel. A granular engine gives you grain-size control over the texture. Decay turns overdubbing from an endless build-up into a self-erasing echo, or anything in between. A stutter engine captures and repeats slices for fills and glitches, and reverse flips the loop with a smooth, musical turnaround.

Every continuous control and every transport action has a CV input, so LooLoo plays as well from a sequencer as from the panel. Gate the record and stutter inputs for rhythmic capture; modulate the window, pitch, or grain size from an LFO for textures that never quite repeat. Each track also sends out a position ramp and an end-of-loop pulse, so a loop of any length becomes a clock and a modulation source for the rest of your rack. And track B can lock to track A at a musical ratio, for layered loops that stay in time by construction.

Focused, deep, and built to be played. LooLoo is looping as an instrument.

• Two independent looper tracks — separate audio paths, settings, and loop lengths
• Movable playback window — shrink the loop to a slice, slide it through the recording
• Independent pitch (±24 st) and speed (0–2×) — or link them with tape-style varispeed
• Granular engine — grain-size control over the texture of every pitch and speed change
• Overdub with adjustable decay — from infinite build-up to a self-erasing echo, with undo
• Stutter engine — capture and repeat a slice, with size and speed control
• Smooth musical reverse
• Full CV control — 6 transport gates and 13 parameter inputs per track, plus global volume
• CV outputs per track — playhead position ramp, end-of-loop pulse, record and play gates
• Sync-lock track B to track A — 0.25× to 3× ratios for loops that stay in time
• Free or bar-quantised recording, 1–16 bars
• 3U
