About

DoomLoop

Read full description

DOOM LOOP is a stem-based loop machine built from the Doom Cougar catalog. Seven channels โ€” kick, bass, snare, hats, acid, perc, and FX โ€” 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 โ€” Crease, Creature, Hematoma, Mothers Milk, Parlor Floor, Savage Wit, Shag Chain, Yule, and more - 7 channels โ€” 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 โ€” low, mid, high - Independent volume on every channel - Per-channel lock โ€” protect a loop you like before randomizing - Random โ€” 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 โ€” 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.

A frozen cathedral beneath the ocean. A dark night in the city. A garden in the clouds. Atmospheres 2 turns your words into creative reverb spaces. Describe a place, a material or a feeling, then hear how it transforms your guitar, vocals, synths or any other audio. Let your imagination lead. Each prompt inspires a sonic interpretation, with room to explore spaces that could only exist in your music. MAKE A LITTLE MAGIC Type a prompt and create an atmosphere. Try something familiar, something surreal, or a combination of both. English prompts work best. LET RANDOM SURPRISE YOU Tap Random to generate a phrase and a new reverb space. Your Mix stays where you left it, so you can explore without changing your dry/wet balance. ONE KNOB, EASY TO EXPLORE Use the central Mix knob to blend your original sound with the atmosphere you've created. APP + AUv3 Use Atmospheres 2 as a standalone app for live audio input, or load its AUv3 effect in a compatible music app. Your generated sound and Mix are recalled with your host project, including when you copy the plugin to another track. The standalone app remembers your last sound. ENTIRELY OFFLINE Prompt generation and audio processing run locally on your device. No internet connection or account is required. BORN FROM DEEP WATERS 2 Built on the reverb engine behind Deep Waters 2, with water-inspired textures and a simple interface made for exploring. Atmospheres 2 is an audio effect: it processes incoming audio. For standalone live monitoring, use headphones or an audio interface. AUv3 use requires a compatible host app. For iPhone and iPad.
