Degenson is a raw virtual analog drum machine built for distorted percussion, hypnotic sequences and aggressive sound design. Six voices, dual LFOs and fast hands-on control for techno, EBM and experimental production. Now it's also an AUv3 plugin: run Degenson inside your favorite iOS host — GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Drambo and more — perfectly in sync with your project tempo. • Six punchy virtual-analog voices with analogue-style decay — percussive across most of the knob, opening into an infinite drone at the top • Full MIDI: notes trigger the voices, every knob responds to a fixed MIDI CC, and the sequencer can be bypassed to play live from any controller • Melodic mode: each octave maps the six voices and transposes them, so you can play the drums tuned across the keyboard • Fast, tactile step sequencer with per-step control and dual LFOs for evolving, hypnotic patterns • Crunch Verb: a gritty master reverb with Mix, Decay and Crunch — the tail degrades as it fades Free to play. The optional Pro upgrade unlocks the AUv3 plugin for use in your DAW and WAV export for bouncing your patterns.

Loopeme is a pocket loop studio for musicians who write on the move. Hear a groove in your head? Tap the tempo, hit record, lay down a phrase. Loopeme auto-trims the silence, snaps the take to the bar and stacks it on top of the previous layers. The idea that used to die in your voice memos turns into a track instead. Built on a real C++ DSP engine: tracking and mixing run at low latency, and WAV export prints the same effect chain you played live — what you hear is what you keep. CATCH THE IDEA • Tap Tempo — set BPM from your own pulse, no "type 124" panel • Auto-trim — strips silence around your take at a dB threshold you control • Cut Mode — drag loop boundaries on the waveform and hear the result instantly • Metronome with pre-roll and downbeat accent BUILD THE TRACK • Multi-layer loop stack — pile takes on top of each other, each with its own fader and effects • Rhythm generator — turn one phrase into a pattern: ×2, ×4, ×8, ×16, triplets, backbeat, off-beats • Pitch Shifter and Peak Filter on every track • Add Bar / Remove Bar — change loop length on the fly, no re-record PLAY FROM ANYWHERE • Apple Watch — full remote: record, play, tap tempo from your wrist while the iPhone sits on the stand • MIDI controllers (BETA) — map Play / Stop / Rec / Tap to notes or CC, play with a footswitch or pad • iCloud — projects sync across all your devices TAKE IT OUT • WAV export of the whole project through the full FX chain — ready for your DAW • Inline previews in the project list before you open a session FOR WHO Guitarists, producers, beatmakers, looping vocalists, music teachers and anyone whose best idea happens in line for coffee instead of in the studio. Loopeme doesn't try to replace your DAW — it catches the stuff that never makes it there. We'd love your feedback — reach us from the in-app settings.
