Microlooper

two-channel micro-looper + space

always listening.
freeze the last moment.
let it wear down.

A looper that's always recording, next to a wet channel with reverb, delay and a pitch sampler. One clock runs both, so when you turn it down, everything drops in pitch together. Footswitches on the front, dip switches on the back.

Microlooper: the wet channel on the left, the micro-looper on the right, and between them the atom, with CLOCK at its center.

Listen

Guitar through Microlooper, rendered straight from the plugin. Each clip starts dry, and the waveform changes color when the effect kicks in.

The atom while it plays. CLOCK sits in the middle, and each colored electron is a control.

Two channels, one clock.

On the left, the wet channel: a reverb that smears from scattered echoes into a wash, a delay that can repeat forever, and WARP, a sampler that plays your phrases back at other pitches.

On the right, the micro-looper, with three ways to play back what you just played: TAPE, ENV and STRETCH.

In the middle, CLOCK sets the sample rate of both channels at once, from 64 kHz down to 2 kHz, in octaves and fifths. Turn it down and the loop and the echoes drop exactly an octave, then a fifth, and get grainy like an old sampler. Your dry signal never goes through it.

Hiss and dropouts, to taste.

The ring around the atom is STABILITY. Drag it up or down like a knob, and its gaps and fading show which mode you picked.

Always listening.

The micro-looper is always recording the last few seconds, so you never have to hit record at the right moment. When something good happens, tap the footswitch to keep it. Hold it to overdub. Hold the wet footswitch to freeze the reverb.

STABILITY sets how the loop ages:

  • LIVEThe loop wobbles as it plays, but only keeps the damage while you overdub.
  • WORNEach pass wears it down a little more, like old tape.
  • FADEEach pass comes back a little darker and quieter, until it's gone.

You can combine WORN and FADE.

The micro-looper. Tap the footswitch to hear what it just recorded. Hold it to overdub, or press DUB to keep overdubbing.

Flip it over.

Like a pedal, it keeps the deeper settings on the back: eighteen dip switches and eight hidden knobs.

  • Ramping. TIME, CLOCK, LENGTH or STABILITY can move on their own.
  • Tempo sync. The loop snaps to whole beats, and delay and WARP follow note values.
  • Stereo. Mono in, stereo out, and how wide the wet channel spreads.
  • Trails. Tails keep ringing after you bypass.
  • Safety. A limiter on the effect only, never on your dry signal.
The back panel of Microlooper: three banks of dip switches, eight knobs and five selectors.
