"a looper unlike any other.. you would be damn wrong not to test it.." - Guitar Part Magazine June 2014 (biggest french guitar magazine) Loopr is the first 64 tracks loop song sequencer / multiple phrase looper with MIDI controls and sync for real time live composition. A musical instrument like no other. "Loopr is a budget-priced bargain that is well worth a punt even if only to experiment with. This is a very capable – if slightly quirky – looper app at a pocket money price." musicappblog.com November 2013 Honorable mention as finalist in the Best App Ever Awards 2013 ( http://www.bestappever.com/awards/2013/winner/musc ) Loopr is a low latency loop recorder, player and step sequencer designed for realtime phrase and song composition using your iDevice. Compose, practice, jam along, or sample audio soudscapes easily with this compact pro-oriented loopstation. It is focused on ergonomy and simplicity via one-finger but also hands-free MIDI pedalboard controls, and lets you synchronize drum machines and sequencers via its MIDI out sync. Loop sessions can be exported/imported as independent files (including tempo and time signature information), for you to share the groove or use with most desktop audio production apps (e.g. Logic Studio, Garage Band, ...). Using iTunes file sharing or email, you can easily manage your work beyond your iPhone or iPod Touch. Loopr is CoreMIDI and CoreAudio compatible and enables you to use most popular iOS compatible interfaces.

Ten Band EQ
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ten Band EQ is a professional 10-band graphic equalizer built as an AUv3 plugin, ready to use in GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, and any other Audio Unit host on iOS. Designed with acoustic guitar in mind — and musical on everything else — Ten Band EQ gives you clean, precise tone shaping without complexity getting in the way. TEN BANDS Ten ISO-standard octave bands from 31 Hz to 16 kHz, each with ±12 dB of cut or boost. Grab a slider, shape your tone, hear the result immediately. Bands 1–9 use proportional Q: gentle at small moves, focused at full boost or cut — the classic graphic EQ feel that stays musical no matter how hard you push it. Band 10 at 16 kHz is a high-shelf, not a peak, so your "air" band always sounds like air. FILTERS A sweepable high-pass filter (18 dB/oct, 30–200 Hz) rolls out unwanted rumble and low-end mud before it ever reaches the bands. A sweepable low-pass filter (12 dB/oct, 4–20 kHz) tames harshness at the top. Both filters sit at the edges of the audio spectrum by default — always in the signal chain, never in your way unless you need them. OUTPUT TRIM Stack a few bands of boost and levels add up fast. The ±12 dB output trim brings your signal back under control without any extra gain stages or metering to manage. Q MODES Variable Q (the default) gives you the proportional "musical" response described above. Switch to Fixed Q for a tighter, more surgical MXR-style response — great for notching problem frequencies or adding hard shelf boosts. BYPASS One toggle switches between IN and BYPASS. The red indicator makes bypass state obvious at a glance. AUv3 Ten Band EQ is an Audio Unit v3 plugin. Load it as an effect in GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, ApeMatrix, or any AUv3-compatible host. It also runs as a standalone app for quick listening sessions or to register the plugin with iOS. WORKS ON iPhone and iPad (iOS 14+)
