Vaporloop vs Ringo Beats

VAPORLOOP turns your audio into a generative instrument. Drop in a song, a voice memo, a field recording, or anything you screen-record — then set a loop and start mangling it. Built around a granular time-stretch engine, VAPORLOOP lets you slow a loop to a crawl without dropping the pitch, or shift the pitch two octaves without touching the tempo. The two are completely independent. When it finally sounds like something, hit record. VAPORLOOP captures the live performance — every knob move included — and saves it as WAV, MP3, or AIFF. THE ENGINE - Granular time-stretch — speed from 10% to 300%, pitch ±24 semitones, fully independent - Grain controls — size, density, interval rate, spray, and stereo spread - A/B loop points set by tap or dragged by hand, with pinch-to-zoom for fine editing - Reverse playback THE CHARACTER - Tape wear — jitter, mechanical noise, dirt, and dropouts - Warble — independent wow and flutter, each with rate and depth - Pitch LFO — sine, triangle, saw, square, and sample & hold - Speed LFO — sweep playback rate without touching pitch THE MIX - Four-band parametric EQ with a drag-to-shape response curve - Reverb with decay and size, up to cathedral-scale tails - Delay with tap tempo, note divisions, self-oscillating feedback, and its own time LFO WORKING - Import MP3, WAV, AIFF, M4A, FLAC, MOV, and MP4 - Share audio straight in

Ringo Beats writes its own drum parts. Three chaotic systems propose hits — a Lorenz attractor drives kick, snare and clap, a Hénon map flickers the hi-hats, a logistic map detonates fills. A per-voice Markov policy then decides what actually plays, learning from its own output and rewarding patterns that groove. Chaos proposes, the policy disposes. Slide BLEND to choose who wins. No pre-made patterns and nothing loops. Every run is new. WHAT YOU GET • 10 kits — two sampled, a vintage CR-78 and a real rock kit with velocity layers and round robins, and eight synthesised: Neon 808, Dust & Wood, Glitch Lab, Techno Bunker, Trap Haze, Boom Bap, Industrial, Bit Arcade • 8 voices: kick, snare, clap, closed hat, open hat, tom, ride and crash • Live policy grid — watch hit probability build across 16 steps, and tap any cell to lock it on or off • Chaos scope — the attractors driving your beat, drawn in real time • Deep control: tempo, swing, blend, heat, density, Lorenz rho, chaos R, fills, humanise, per-voice mixer • Record a take and export it as a standard MIDI file to the Files app • Sends MIDI to other apps on your device: pick Ringo Beats as a MIDI input in AUM, Cubasis or Drambo, no Audio Unit needed TWO AUDIO UNITS Ringo Beats ships as an instrument AUv3 and as a MIDI processor AUv3, so it can either play its own drums or sequence any other instrument in your host. Both follow your host's transport and tempo — hit play in AUM, GarageBand, Logic, Cubasis or Zenbeats and it locks to the grid. One install registers both. PRICING The app is free and complete: every kit, every control, unlimited MIDI export. Using the Audio Units inside other apps is a single one-time purchase. Try them first — each AUv3 session plays for two minutes before it asks.
