This is an early demo intended to generate feedback (pun unintended).

Loopitch (name subject to change: suggestions accepted) is a long-period high-feeback looping machine, akin to continuous tape loops in "the old days" or digital Jam Man or Echoplex of today. Now all the Fripp and Torn wannabes out there can have fun with a MIDI controllable looper within a sequencing host!

Loopitch currently works as a DXi2 instrument under SONAR 2 (my only test platform!), and will likely play well with other DXi hosts. The VSTi version works identically via the FXpansion adapter, but is otherwise mostly untested in VST hosts.

Loopitch is considered an "instrument" (not merely an "effect"), as it needs MIDI information to control its operation: you'll need a keyboard with a sustain pedal to make it work!

Download the alpha/demo:

  • DXi2 - Tested on SONAR 2
  • VSTi
  • VST-FX - an attempted fix for some hosts: plug is treated as an effect, not an instrument. Plug must still be able to receive MIDI information, however! As of 020909, I've had some success with this under Cubase SX Demo, though being on a non-ASIO system made latency my biggest hurdle! Just make sure you have tracks set to "monitor" to hear the results of your playing.
  • VST-FXvOrion - Orion-specific test fix: replaces pedal punch-in with latching MIDI Note. This has been reported to work under Orion Platinum, might work with other hosts...

    No Mac support, yet: maybe later, if I can ever get the VST version happy with a few hosts!
