Elijah Lucian has updated Choppa, available for $4.99.
What’s new in version 1.3.6;
- A new Transmissions panel slides out from the left. Mic capsules at the top – front back, bottom, plus any USB interface or AirPods you’ve got connected. Two royalty- free streams ship with the app. Paste any HTTPS audio URL to add vour own. Live spectrum at the bottom of the panel shows what’s actually reaching the recorder so silent bars don’t read as broken — they tell you the source is selected but isn’t producing audio.
- Recording from streams works. Hit REC while listening to one of the built-ins or you own URL and Choppa captures the audio you hear, frame-aligned, no desync between monitor and take.
- Pad readability + layout pass
- Fonts are 2x on iPad so you can read the screen from across the room. Banks moved into the right column right above the minimap and chop editor – bank-switch, sample, chop, all in one column. Tools is a slide-out drawer like Library and Transmissions. Settings + Magic now have an X in the top-right corner. Square corners evervwhere. The whole Ul is blockier and reads faster
- Empty-bank library guard. No more phantom plank entries cluttering your saved chops – ibrary entries are minted only when you actually record or import audio. Empty banks now show the REC button in gold so the next move is obvious.
- AUv3 fixes for Loopy Pro / AUM hosts: . Drag the loop region (IN / OUT) edges in the minimap.
- New vertical resize handle for the chop editor.
- Library and import buttons are clean icons without iOS’s default rounded chrome.
- Library entries no longer show a per-bank letter chip – a saved choppa is a choppa, not a bank.
