## What is Quantiloop?

Built for Live performance and hands free use, Quantiloop recreates the simplicity of a hardware loop pedal in an iOS app. Attach a MIDI foot controller and control it the way you want. No MIDI controller at hand; just preset your loop length, enable auto–record or a count–in and your loops will automatically close, no hands or feet required. Big onscreen controls allow for easy configuration and tactile control by vocalists or beat boxers. Focus on your performance instead of fiddling with dip switches or complex menu’s.

Be Creative

Create 4 tracks with endless layers of overdubs to build your performance. Record a Chorus, Verse and Bridge and switch between them seamlessly or create a 1 bar percussie loop on track one, a 4 bar chord progression on track two and layer a bass line on top, all in perfect synchronisation.

Rhythm Guide

The builtin rhythm guide provides a rhythmic backing. Use the internal metronome for practice, import drum loops from virtually anywhere or host and control your favourite rhythm apps to enhance your performance. MIDI master lets you control MIDI hardware, and MIDI slave lets Quantiloop follow it. Ableton Link lets you even play in time over WiFi with external apps and devices. Quantisation aligns your actions to the nearest measure or beat so you stay in time, and real-time tempo control sets the pace. Prefer setting your own pace, disable quantisation and Quantiloop will react to your actions with minimum latency to create tight synchronised recordings.

FX

Assign up to 3 simultaneous effects to the input. Use the built-in transpose to covert your guitar into a bass, or host your guitar amp sim directly in Quantiloop. The results will be recorded into your loops.
Or assign up to 3 simultaneous track effects to the output. Use the tape stop to add drama, introduce a key change to build up your performance, or host an Inter-App audio/AU reverb processor. Track FX may be assigned to a single track, all tracks or the combined output.

### 5/5 — Look past the demo

*2026-06-15*

Excellent 4 track looper. Cost effective and so far reliable😎🎼

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2026-05-08*

Definitely WORTH the ProUpgade-and incredibly diverse and intricate-you probably WILL be to do some reading in the manual, but it works!!!, as well and better even than a manual pedal/switch guitar looper... and works with other audio apps too...

### 2/5 — This demo is self defeating.

*2025-12-09*

It just seems dumb that I can’t try out the pro features while the voice keeps talking making it useless anyway. Why not let me try out the pro features while the voice keeps interrupting? I would keep exploring even though it probably won’t work for my needs if I could only try it out

### 5/5 — save time ...

*2025-08-23, version 2.98.5*

... and direvtly buy the pro version.

best looper you'll ever find

### 3/5 — Worthless

*2025-04-06*

As soon as you try using the app you get an extremely loud notification telling you to buy the pro version to get rid of this message.  Completely unusable

### 5/5 — Feedback

*2024-12-16, version 2.98.4*

I really love this app. A lot of feature

### 2/5 — Please fix issues with SONOMA with M1

*2024-10-12, version 2.98.4*

I like very much this app on iPad, works well. On my Macbook Pro M1 with SONOMA instead, a lot of problems with external instruments and effects...

PLEASE fix these if you can (I understand that is't made for laptop but I'd like to use on both systems...)

### 1/5 — Obnoxious audio message

*2024-03-07, version 2.98.4*

This is possibly a good app, but I’ll never know. I trashed it after a few minutes of trying to assess it because of the ridiculous spoken “buy the full version” message that blurts out every minute. Idiotic.

### 5/5 — Super looper

*2023-11-09*

The only thing I can’t explain is how to control input scenes by midi… for all the rest it’s perfect !

### 4/5 — Super appli sur iPad

*2023-10-15*

Malheureusement sur iPhone mini 13 certains boutons n’apparaissent pas à l’écran
