Looperator is the ultimate slicing and processing plugin for all styles of electronic music. It chops up your audio and turns it into something new. Thanks to its quick & intuitive interface it makes designing subtle rhythmic enhancements to spectacular effect pyrotechnics easy and fun. In the process, you can dispose of the classics like Filters and Reverbs, but also trippy Loop and Vinyl manipulations. Build a looping effects sequence, with discrete settings for each of Looperator's stunning engines, then bring everything to life using the comprehensive modulation system on a per-step basis. Looperator makes you sound as if you worked on your track for hours and hours and really all it took was a click of a button. ::FEATURES:: • Audio Unit v3 & Standalone • Rearrange your groove! Chop the input signal into 16 slices and freely assign them to each sequence step on the Slice track, then rhythmically stutter selected steps on the Loop track. • Flexible filters Looperator’s Filter provides per-step frequency shaping of the left and right channels independently. • Multi-effects galore Two User FX modules each deliver dynamic effects sequencing via a rich and varied line-up of high-quality processors. • User steps Each sequencer track offers 20 ready-made step options. Much of the time, you won’t need to go any further than that, but when you do, the four User-defined steps also available to each track give you full and precise control of five processor parameters per effect. • Motion and modulation Every User step configuration features five adjustable parameters, each automated using a simple knob, a Randomizer, an Envelope Follower or one of 20 preset parameter modulation curves with adjustable start and end points. When it comes to animating your Looperator effects sequences, the possibilities are literally endless! • Fast, focused workflow Like all Sugar Bytes software, Looperator has been developed with operational fluidity at the top of the agenda. Looperator’s snappy workflow keeps up with even the fastest-moving producer. • There’s more… The feature list just keeps on giving! Seven per-module and global Mix blending modes; intelligent randomization options throughout; super-smooth step transitions; deep MIDI integration and control; limitless undo/redo; standalone functionality and more. It all comes together to make Looperator nothing less than a state-of-the-art loop design powerhouse that no electronic musician should be without. ## Key features - Audio slicing into 16 segments - Rhythmic stutter and loop sequencing - Per-step filter control - Multi-effects sequencing - User-defined effect steps - Motion and modulation system - MIDI integration ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Looperator Full Version | $24.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 27) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/looperator/id1506569603/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Unglaublich. *2024-11-27, version 1.1.3* Nach einem ungewiss vorübergehenden StudioVerlust, habe ich meine Hardware ( 90 Prozent Eurorack ) weggepackten müssen wegen Platzmangel und versuche momentan paar Apps zu lernen und damit Musik zu machen. Diese App hat mich so dermaßen umgehauen…..Was für eine simple geile Idee, was alles um das 10 fache interessanter macht. Also von all diese Apps, die ich in letzter Zeit gekauft hab oder kaufen werde, kann die hier keine andere topen. Zurecht hat diese App volle Punktzahl. Ich würd am liebsten 10 Sterne geben❤️ Ein GROSSES Lob an das Sugarbytes Team 🙏 ### 2/5 — Appears to be free but it isn’t! *2024-02-17, version 1.0.9* I can see the potential in this app but it’s not worth £24.99 I would much rather see the real cost of the full version without having to download it to find out. Up front honesty is best… deleted 🙄 ### 5/5 — Love it. Get it. *2024-01-02, version 1.0.9* Simply the best effect sequencer. ### 1/5 — Does not work. Has different prices. SB trying to charge $45 for this *2023-12-26* The app cost $15. Then you have to pay additional $25 to activate demo version. So $45. It’s a rip off. ### 3/5 — 🚨🚨BUG🚨🚨 *2023-06-30, version 1.0.9* Bug sur le clavier il grise au moment de l’achat on ne peut pas taper son code pour effectuer l’achat !!!! ### 5/5 — One of my favorites *2023-06-24, version 1.0.9* Thank you for doing a trial , it led me to buy both this and also factory and be confident in my purchase . Fingers crossed for a sale soon to buy amarillo. Please consider doing the same demo system for other apps and it will lead to me buying more because I’m not able to spend $30 without trying it out. Was happy to pay it though for looperator because once I got the hang of the demo I was so excited to use it in Full as an auv3 . Bought this and factory at full price and drum computer because of demo making it clear it was a good purchase even though higher. It was a hard choice because i also love Amarillo but couldn’t buy factory, loop and am all full price. So that’s why I am hoping for a sale for that and for the ones I can’t demo . You’re my favorite developer though . Thanks for helping me make music , ### 2/5 — Not much, and expensive *2022-08-19, version 1.0.9* A long time ago, this might have been great. But today there are several apps that do this kind of thing much better, with fresher effects, and contemporary design. No way is it worth almost £18. Maybe £4.99 tops. Deleted. ### 4/5 — Loading files *2022-07-02, version 1.0.9* I find it difficult to load files and play it on my Bluetooth headphones. Apart from that it rocks ### 5/5 — Great audio mangler. *2022-05-13, version 1.0.8* I enjoy this app. Mangles audio from beautiful to brutal. ### 5/5 — No tutorial? This is a waste of my money can’t even export or extract a file *2022-02-20, version 1.0.8* No tutorial? This is a waste of my money can’t even export or extract a file ## Frequently asked questions about Looperator ### What does Looperator do?
