Motio vs Loopette

Your body is the instrument. Motio is a motion synth for iPhone. Move, tilt, and gesture to shape sound in real time, then go deeper with BODY tracking, FIELD, LiDAR, MIDI, AUv3, and Sound Editor modes. It is not a beat maker or a DAW-style editor. Motio is built for the moment when you want to play sound directly: rotate your wrist, lean into a gesture, bring a hand into camera view, or map motion to MIDI. What you can do: - Play expressive synth presets with device motion - Use BODY tracking for camera-based control - Explore FIELD and magnetic-field control - Perform LiDAR gestures on supported iPhone models - Send MIDI output to compatible music setups - Use Motio as an AUv3 instrument in supported hosts - Open the Sound Editor to shape presets and mappings Motio Pro unlocks all performance modes, every preset, Sound Editor controls, MIDI, and AUv3 instrument access. The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial; monthly is available without a trial. Designed for musicians, sound designers, experimental performers, and curious creators who want an instrument that starts with movement instead of a timeline.

Loopette is a cassette looper for iPhone. Press the tape to freeze. Drag to scrub. Flick to spin. The motor wobbles. The tape saturates. Loops that breathe. A pocket-sized tape machine, alive in your hands. Built for songwriters, producers, and sound designers who want analog character without menu-diving. WHAT IT FEELS LIKE • Touch-to-hold — press the cassette to freeze playback at the spot • Drag to scrub — DJ-style scratching with velocity-sensitive pitch • Flick to spin — momentum-based motion with a natural slowdown • Waveform timeline — see exactly where you are while you move WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE • Wow & flutter — slow drift and fast wobble, dialed by ear • Tape saturation — soft compression with frequency-dependent grain • Bias — frequency tilt the way old machines do • Ladder filter — warm, resonant low-pass that sweeps like a vintage synth • Hiss & age — noise floor and degradation you can taste HIDDEN DEPTH • Granular engine descended from a legendary open-source Eurorack module • Position, grain size, density, pitch — real texture synthesis • Found by feel, not by hunting through menus LOOPING THAT FLOWS • Overdub — layer takes without ever leaving the screen • Resampling — bounce loops back into the engine to keep building • Variable speed & reverse — pitch and direction as performance tools • Auto-save — never lose a take PROJECTS, NOT PRESETS • Name your projects on the tape label • Recall them instantly — your last take is one tap away • Import WAV, AIFF, or M4A; record from the mic • Export dry or fully wet, with the tape character baked in • Bluetooth-aware — auto-detects wireless audio gear NO SUBSCRIPTION One-time purchase. No ads. No login. No data harvesting. Free updates as new effects land — reverb, delay, and granular are next on the bench. Designed for iPhone. Made for musicians.
