Elijah Lucian has released Waveloop: Layers, available for $4.99.
Lay down a loop. stack takes over it. run your Audio Units through it – and let the camera loop with the sound.
Layerz is a realtime layering looper. Record a loop, and it starts playing instantly. Stack take after take over it, drop punch-ins on the fly, and hear exactly what you record – what you monitor IS what lands on the tape.
Under the hood it runs monitoring, overdub, and playback on a single Core Audio render callback – no engine graph churn, no second tap thread – so laying down audio while you monitor never glitches.
The first take sets the loop length and loops immediately. Keep layering onto it, or hold DROP to punch-record a buffer drop. Destructive-first, no undo by design.
A tape-deck transport: play reverse, stop, play forward. Overdub while it runs backwards and that layer plays backwards when you flip forward again.
Snap recording to the loop seam so a take is always a complete lap, instead of one that starts and ends mid- loop
Run your installed AUv3 effects and instruments – samplers, synths – right in the input chain. with their own plugin Uls. Play a hosted instrument from the built-in keyboard or from a MIDI controller, straight into the loop. Blend two effect racks on one fader that runs from full-wet A through dry to full-wet B.
Put the live camera behind the controls and dial in how far the face fades over it. Then let the picture loop with the sound:
- BURN-IN — video records while the loop records and every lap composites onto the last. Four blends: imprint, lighten, darken, difference.
- MOSAIC – each lap claims its own cell and the grid grows as you play, 4 panes to 9 to 16, spiralling outward from the middle.
Playback follows the audio play head, so picture and sound share one clock. Nothing is saved or sent – the video lives in memory and dies with CLEAR.
An XY pad for gain and pan, a stereo-balance waveform you can scrub, stereo in/out metering, and a welded, single-surface control face,
Your project is saved on the fly and restored when you reopen the app – transport, modes and all. NEW starts a fresh one; a library holds them all.
Export a loop to Choppa, see loops from the other WaveLoop apps in the shared library rail, or post one to the WALL in the owners’ room – owning the app is the key, no account.
