MolliLooper vs sqsl Latch
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
MolliLooper
This real-time stereo effect app allows for instant looping and filtering of audio. Designed for live performance, it continuously records input for immediate playback and offers adjustable loop timing synced to a host clock. It also features a resonant filter and stutter/freeze capabilities.
- Real-time stereo looping
- Instant recording/looping
- Host clock sync
- Adjustable loop timing
- Lowpass/highpass resonant filter
- Stutter/freeze effect
- AUv3 plugin support

Molli Looper is a realtime stereo effect for looping and filtering. Intended mainly as a live performance tool, no preparation is needed to trigger loop recording - input is constantly recorded in the background to be triggered whenever it is needed. Loop timing is synced to host clock, and can be adjusted from multi-bar loops right down to 16th note drills. The looped or unlooped audio is then passed though a lowpass -> neutral -> highpass resonant filter, based on a 4 pole ladder design for lush analogue style sound. You can use Molli Looper either as iOS Standalone app or as AUv3 plugin. FEATURES: - Combination of looper and stutter/freeze - Continuous recording: instant recording/looping - Runs in sync with host clock - Jumps to meaningful places in the recording: "Snap to grid" - Grid: 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 beats - Ability to scroll through the recording - Lowpass/highpass resonant filter - Long Tap XY keeps filter position - Limiter/booster effect - Momentary Mode - Tap on Molli Looper icon for basic information
sqsl Latch
This app is a conceptual MIDI controller and sequencer for creating drone, textural, and soundscape synthesizer patches. It allows for sending MIDI notes, pitch bend, and CC values with advanced looping and parameter modulation features. Save and recall your setups for later use.
- MIDI note, pitch bend, and CC output
- 16 groups with assignable MIDI channel and color
- 8 assignable Continuous Controllers per group
- Looper for recording and shuffling note phrases
- Adjustable phrase playback speed and synchronization
- Parameter modulation via internal randomizer
- Smooth parameter transitions with LAG control

sqsl Latch is a conceptual MIDI controller and sequencer designed for working with evolving drone, textural or soundscape synthesizer patches. It can send out MIDI notes, pitch bend and CC values. There are 16 groups split into 2 banks (a, b, c, … p). Groups have assignable MIDI channel, color and 8 Continuous Controllers (CC). When user touches one of the pads, note is activated and is held on until new touch (on the same pad) is registered. Left slider controls the velocity of note to be activated. Every group has a looper able to record note state changes - phrases. Order and velocity of recorded notes is automatically shuffled after phrase restarts (can be optionally prevented by activating group’s LOCK button). Phrase playback speed is adjustable (CLOCK and DIVIDER parameters). Phrase can be synchronised - set to restart automatically with previous group's loop. Synchronisation can be set to happen on every pass, every second, third... up to 16th and can be set to be ignored randomly (probability setting 0-100%). Group parameters can be adjusted using sliders or modulated by internal randomiser with adjustable range (RANGE and RANGE 2 parameters) and speed (per group LAG control - left-most slider). Apart user definable CCs, each group has following MIDI parameters: MOD (mod wheel), BEND (pitch bend), VOL (volume), EXP (expression), PAN (pan), FOOT (foot controller), TOUCH (aftertouch/channel pressure). Group parameters related to phrase playback are: CLOCK (resolution and playback speed), SYNC with divider (loop synchronization), NOTE SKIP (randomly skipping notes events 0-100%), SYNC SKIP (randomly skipping sync events 0-100%), DIVIDE (integer group's CLOCK divider), LOOP (loop or one-shot setting), SHIFT (degree offset with selected scale). LAG can be applied to parameter changes - when new value is selected, change does not happen immediately but value is transitioned smoothly based on LAG time (left-most slider). Setup setting (CC numbers, channels, colors, and MIDI output) are saved and recalled when app is restarted. Loops, CC values, parameters and their modulation states can be written to preset positions for later recall.
