Loopr Live Loop Composer vs Lovely

"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.

A little cabinet. A room full of colour. Lovely pairs a rotary speaker with a physically modelled basement reverb chamber. The horn and bass drum have their own momentum: change the speed and the horn gets there first, while the heavier drum takes its time. THE ROOM IS PART OF THE INSTRUMENT Concrete walls, room resonances and an adjoining space connected through a doorway form Lovely's basement. The rotating horn sends sound through that geometry, changing the timing and colour of the reflections as it moves. FROM A SLOW SWIRL TO A FAST SPIN SPEED moves from gentle rotation to fast tremolo. Turn it fully down and the rotors coast to a stop, keeping the position where they land. Tap the footswitch to brake the rotors and fade smoothly into bypass. Tap again to spin back up. Press and hold for a temporary change; release to return to the previous state. Blacklight mode adds a tape-style slowdown to the brake. WARMTH AND BALANCE GAIN cuts the signal below center for a cleaner, quieter sound and boosts above center into smooth compression and warm saturation. Center keeps the reference tone and level. BALANCE blends the weight of the bass drum with the shimmer of the treble horn. The MOTOR switch controls the quiet running-cabinet sound. TURN OUT THE LIGHTS Use the right-hand switch to enter blacklight mode. Tape-like pitch drift makes the sound hazier, with more of the basement coming through. Clouds in the opal footswitch follow the rotor. Water flows, flowers sway and an aurora glows as the scene slowly builds with your playing.
