MolliLooper vs True Pan
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
True Pan
This audio plugin allows for lossless repositioning of stereo recordings, preserving the stereo field's geometry. It enables fully reversible panoramic rotations without compressing the stereo image and supports advanced transformations and modulation effects for creative sound design.
- Lossless stereo field repositioning
- Fully reversible panoramic rotations
- Advanced transformations and modulation
- Preserves spatial information in ambience/reverb
- Tempo-synced LFOs for rhythmic motion
- Dynamic stereo spread controls

True Pan makes it possible to reposition stereo recordings while perfectly preserving the geometry of the stereo field. This allows for lossless, fully reversible panoramic rotations that don't compress the stereo image. The plugin also supports more intense transformations and modulation effects. True Pan can be used to: • Pan sounds that are rich in ambience or reverb without diminishing spatial information • Adjust stereo field recordings, freely rotate the entire sound field (e.g. to change what's in front) • Easily shift sonic perspectives of fx-rich, layered stereo instrument patches • Explore a new dimension of positional reverberation • Add subtle motion to, or "liven up" omnidirectional sounds (can also be used as a special chorus effect at higher rates) • Add a dynamic spatial quality to arpeggiated or rhythmic passages using the tempo sync feature with different LFO types • Apply stronger modulation for sound design and creative uses (creating warble, flutter or stereo tremolo and glitch effects) • Aid and speed up workflows for multi-mic setups When used as a post-processor for reverbs, True Pan can provide higher temporal density and smoothness than what pre-panned reverb inputs would allow. This directly translates to a better quality, but can also be viewed as a different physical setup of the sound source and the listener in relationship to the boundaries of the acoustic space. Thus it opens up additional degrees of freedom in positioning. The plugin's approach to quality preservation is best demonstrated by its ability to transform processed audio back to its original state, by applying a reverse rotation. The included stereo spread controls incorporate features that aim to minimize volume fluctuations by adapting to the actual input signal and its M/S gain distribution, including a fully dynamic adaptive mode, and a snapshot-based one. PLEASE NOTE: • An Audio Unit v3 compatible host app is required to use this plugin • Dual mono inputs from two microphones need to be converted to a single stereo signal in order to be processable

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MolliLooper at every 2 months against True Pan's every 17 months. MolliLooper also leads on chart position (#44 vs unranked). True Pan's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and price ($4.99 vs $8.99). On rating, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
