Break Beats vs EP

Break Beats is a boundary-locked loop player built for portablists and turntablists. Connect your iPhone to a portable deck and you have a practice rig anywhere. Plug into a Numark PT01 Scratch, Reloop Spin or any portable turntable or mixer with an Aux input / Bluetooth and start working your scratch routines over your favourite breaks. THIRTY-TWO LOOP SLOTS Eight banks of four pads give you thirty-two assignable loop slots. Each bank is independent - load different breaks, different styles, different tempos. Swipe between banks and switch instantly without interrupting playback. Clear any pad back to empty whenever you want. BOUNDARY-LOCKED SWITCHING Tap a new pad while a loop is playing and the switch happens at the exact end of the current loop - never mid-bar. The incoming pad blinks while it waits. Keep scratching, the app handles the switch. PITCH CONTROL The pitch fader adjusts playback speed and pitch together, just like a turntable. The standard range is ±15%, and long-pressing PITCH unlocks ULTRA mode for ±50%. The BPM counter updates in real time so you can match any record on your deck. Tap to reset to centre. Long-press the BPM to enable Global BPM to lock every loop to one tempo automatically. RESONANT FILTERS Independent low-pass and high-pass filters let you sweep frequencies out and back in for dramatic transitions between combos. Long-press to switch between LPF and HPF; tap to reset. REVERSE & RECORD Flip any loop into boundary-locked reverse playback and capture your sessions with the built-in recorder straight to a WAV in your Files app. IMPORT YOUR OWN BREAKS Import any WAV file from your iPhone, iCloud Drive or Dropbox. Prepare your loops in your favourite DAW, note the BPM and append it to the file name when you export - preferably at 48000Hz 24-bit for the cleanest audio. The app reads the BPM from the filename automatically.

EP-PatchStudio builds sample kits and multisamples for Teenage Engineering's EP-series hardware, then sends them to your device over USB. Now on iPhone and iPad. If you own an EP-133 K.O. II, EP-1320 or EP-40 Riddim, you know the squeeze: great sounds, a tiny screen and a slow road from a sample on your computer to a pad on your sampler. This app is the shortcut. Import audio, trim it, build a kit and load it onto the hardware. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Import WAV and AIFF from Files, iCloud Drive or straight from another app via the share sheet - Trim, fade and set the start and end of every sample by touch - Build full kits, lay out pads and tune each one (max 8 samples - EP device limitation) - Create multisamples for the EP-40 Riddim, mapped across the keyboard - Send finished kits to your device over USB MIDI - Export kits and backups to Files, AirDrop or your DAW WORKS WITH - EP-133 K.O. II - EP-1320 Medieval - EP-40 Riddim Multisamples are EP-40 Riddim only. No hardware to hand? You can still build and edit everything, then export it for later. Plug in over USB when you are ready to send. FREE AND PRO The Sample Editor is free. Building kits, trimming samples and exporting all work without paying anything.

I built EP-PatchStudio because I wanted grown-up software for these little machines, and I keep improving it based on what the community asks for. If something is missing or broken, tell me.
