so useful!

loving this for building up aleatoric loop sketches on the quick! and i REEALLY appreciate that the loops just auto play right when you open up a daw session. if i could suggest one improvement: an “audio thru” setting so we can still hear the incoming audio pass through this while a loop is playing. or a wet/dry knob? anyway, otherwise this is just about a perfect auv3 for what it does 🖤🖤🖤

Response from developer

Thanks for your kind words! I really like your idea about a dry/wet knob or auto-thru to compliment input-monitor. It's implemented now, thanks!

Great fun, could become something spectacular!

Watching a show with the kiddo, recording his favorite characters or theme songs, scratching and looping. He is thoroughly amused!

I have some requests that would make this so useful in a music making environment…

1. Auto play and loop after a recording is finished.

2. Play toggle (play only while pressed)

Easy and fun way to play with sound.

I can keep myself amused for hours recording loops and the speed it up, slowing it and scratching.
