What's New in GLIMR

Loop your performance. • LOOP: tap the new LOOP button to stack up to four layers. Record, then add layers on top, each with its own sound if you like. • It keeps its own time, with a metronome and count-in, so your loops stay tight with or without the drums. • Change the loop's length any time: go shorter without losing anything, or longer to make room for more. • Mute or turn down any layer, undo the last one, and save the whole loop to Recordings. • Your layers play back on the strings, each glowing in its own colour. • The FX window now sits beside the strings, so you can strum while you dial in a sound.

User reviews

Positive request

I’m really enjoying using this app, and I’d love to enjoy it even more!

I have three feature requests:

1. Independent volume control for the rhythm track and sample audio
2. Step sequencing for sample playback (programming samples step by step)
3. Overdubbing multiple samples (layering samples by recording them one at a time)

Thank you for making such a fun app. I hope you’ll consider these suggestions!
