DOOM LOOP is a stem-based loop machine built from the Doom Cougar catalog. Seven channels ā kick, bass, snare, hats, acid, perc, and FX ā each loaded with eight loops pulled from real Doom Cougar tracks. Tap a pad to bring that loop in. Tap another to swap it out on the next bar. Everything stays at 138 BPM. Everything stays in time. There is no beat-matching, no syncing, no waveforms to wrestle with. The tempo is fixed. The bars are fixed. The loops swap clean. WHAT'S IN IT - 56 loops from the Doom Cougar catalog ā Crease, Creature, Hematoma, Mothers Milk, Parlor Floor, Savage Wit, Shag Chain, Yule, and more - 7 channels ā one loop at a time per channel, plus a one-shot FX channel for stabs and vocal hits - 138 BPM master tempo with every stem pitched to match - 3-band EQ on every channel ā low, mid, high - Independent volume on every channel - Per-channel lock ā protect a loop you like before randomizing - Random ā roll the dice on every unlocked channel, queued to the next bar - Bar / beat indicator with 4-LED beat readout HOW IT WORKS Tap a pad to load that loop. If a channel is already playing, the new pick is queued ā it swaps in clean on the next downbeat. No bumps. No dropouts. No drift. Lock the channels you want to keep. Randomize the rest. Walk a track from a stripped-down kick-and-acid groove into a full mix and back without touching the play button. This is Doom Cougar's catalog, taken apart and handed back to you. Build new tracks. Wreck old ones. Nothing here gets out of time. 138 BPM. 7 channels. 56 stems. One bar at a time.

loopdaloop is a beat maker that grooves the moment you touch it ā and hands you the controls the moment you want them. Tap a pad and a beat, a bass line or a pad starts playing, on the beat, in key, already swinging. Hold an orb and a halo of moves fans out around it: make it busier or calmer, flip the pattern, swap the instrument, shift the octave, draw the beat by hand, grab the tone, ride the faders. Nothing you do can be out of time or out of key. Everything you do lands on the next bar. GROOVING IN ONE TAP ⢠Add sound: a surprise voice lands on the deck and speaks right away ā a kit, a bass, a lead, a pad, a texture. ⢠Every pattern swings: a swing groove and light humanization are built in, and a groove readout lets you dial it from straight to deep. ⢠Fill, drop, lift, flip, more hits, fewer hits, half-time, double-time: one tap each, quantized, self-resolving. Mash buttons, get an arrangement. ⢠Whole-deck warps: echo, space, dark, crush, phaser, flanger, a Leslie cabinet, auto-wah, pump ā and you can see them. Echo ripples the sky, space hazes it, the Leslie spins around its orb. TAKING CONTROL ⢠Hold an orb for its halo: busier, calmer, half-time, double-time, flip, swap, octave up and down, duplicate, tone, faders, edit, banish. ⢠Draw the beat: a 16-step grid per sound. Drums get a row per voice, melodies a row per note of the key ā so anything you draw stays in key by construction, and it sounds the moment you paint it. ⢠Sounds you can shape: a four-band EQ on every sound, drawn as one curve. Drag a node and hear the band sweep. ⢠A fader for every hit: mix the kit live ā kick, snare, clap, hats, toms, ride, crash ā while it keeps playing. ⢠Paint the chords: a harmony lane with one chord per bar. Bass, lead and pads follow it, voice-led, never clashing. ⢠Melt anything into anything: drag one orb onto another and in one bar they become a single new instrument sharing the timbre and rhythm of both. ⢠A stage you can hear: the band stands in front of a listener, and every sound plays from where its orb stands. Carry an orb left and it moves left; drums and bass hold the centre. Walk the listener through the band and the mix follows. ⢠Two faders on every orb: down for the filter, across for the echo. Hold a fader to swap in a tape delay, filtered echo, ping pong, flanger, phaser, bitcrush, autopan, stereolizer, auto envelope, spring or church reverb. ⢠Loop any move: press an orb or a fader, then drag ā it loops. ⢠Infinite undo. Every move on the deck can be walked back to the start of the session. DRUMS THAT RING TRUE ⢠Fourteen drum machines, synthesized on your phone the way the originals work: analog circuits that ring on when you hit them fast, sampling machines with their own clocks, bit depths and chokes, hats and cymbals that shimmer. No samples, ever. Basses, leads and pads with accent, slide, detune and drive. ⢠Seventeen drum styles ā house, disco, funk, pop, boom bap, trap, drill, grime, electro, big beat, big room, rolling techno, 2-step, half-time, footwork, gqom, dembow ā written to groove, not to fill. Every sound you add is picked for the tempo and the style already playing. ⢠14 chord journeys and 7 moods. The whole deck follows the harmony; the drums are tuned to the key too. ⢠Take the kits with you: "loopdaloop drums" is an Audio Unit instrument for GarageBand, Logic and any AU host ā seventy presets over MIDI, tune and decay per voice. SONGS AND SCENES ⢠Capture the deck as a scene, tap scenes in any order, keep songs. Every new song rolls a fresh tempo, key, mood and groove, and every song remembers its own. ⢠Line scenes up in the sequencer lane: tap a step and the song plays itself from there. ⢠Everything is on your phone, fully offline. No account, no samples to download, no subscription to play. There is no manual because there is no wrong move. Tap. Hold. Drag. It's already grooving ā you're in control.
