Choppa
Live Audio Sampler
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Chop layers are here. Each pad count is its own independent layer — pitch, gain, reverse, loop mode all preserved. Live parameter control. Three-finger tap loop cycling.
WaveLoop Choppa is a lightning-fast sampler and slicing instrument built for songwriters, live loopers, and sonic sketchers. Stop clicking notes into a piano roll and start performing your ideas.
Whether you are capturing a quick vocal chop through your microphone or slicing up a synth loop inside your favorite mobile DAW, Choppa turns static audio into a playable, dynamic instrument instantly.
ESCAPE THE GRID Designed for speed and musicality, Choppa lets you bounce loops into slices, trigger sections as one-shots, and remix ideas into fresh patterns without slowing down your creative flow.
STANDALONE & AUV3 PLUGIN Use Choppa as a standalone instrument to jam and sketch ideas on the go using your device's microphone. When it's time to produce a full track, load Choppa as an AUv3 plugin inside GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad, AUM, or any compatible host to integrate it directly into your mix.
KEY FEATURES • Instant Chopping: Record audio and immediately map it across playable trigger pads. • Perform Your Loops: Trigger sections organically as one-shots to create new rhythms and call-and-response patterns. • Destructive Fun: Reverse, choke, and manipulate slices to discover happy accidents. • AUv3 Support: Full Audio Unit v3 support for seamless integration into iOS DAWs. • Export Anywhere: Part of the WaveLoop ecosystem—export your ideas and build them out in your desktop DAW.
Catch the vibe, mangle your loops, and build your next track with WaveLoop Choppa.
Ratings & Reviews
Chop Layers — each pad count is its own layer now. Switch between 4, 8, 16 and everything stays where you left it. Pitch, gain, reverse, loop mode, region bounds — all preserved per layer.
Live parameter control — change pitch, volume, reverse, or loop mode while voices are playing. Scrub region bounds mid-playback. Everything updates in real time.
Three-finger tap cycles loop mode in the chop view. Off, loop, ping-pong.
Recording pre-roll — captures audio from just before the trigger so you never lose the attack transient.
Import controls — new settings panel with Safe Import (attenuates hot signals), Normalize (scales gain to unity), and Mash (soft-clip for lo-fi grit). Monitor Input lets you hear your mic through Choppa.
Start marker fix — moving chop boundaries no longer glitches the playhead mid-playback.
