VAPORLOOP turns your audio into a generative instrument.
Drop in a song, a voice memo, a field recording, or anything you screen-record — then set a loop and start mangling it. Built around a granular time-stretch engine, VAPORLOOP lets you slow a loop to a crawl without dropping the pitch, or shift the pitch two octaves without touching the tempo. The two are completely independent.
When it finally sounds like something, hit record. VAPORLOOP captures the live performance — every knob move included — and saves it as WAV, MP3, or AIFF.
THE ENGINE
- Granular time-stretch — speed from 10% to 300%, pitch ±24 semitones, fully independent
- Grain controls — size, density, interval rate, spray, and stereo spread
- A/B loop points set by tap or dragged by hand, with pinch-to-zoom for fine editing
- Reverse playback
THE CHARACTER
- Tape wear — jitter, mechanical noise, dirt, and dropouts
- Warble — independent wow and flutter, each with rate and depth
- Pitch LFO — sine, triangle, saw, square, and sample & hold
- Speed LFO — sweep playback rate without touching pitch
THE MIX
- Four-band parametric EQ with a drag-to-shape response curve
- Reverb with decay and size, up to cathedral-scale tails
- Delay with tap tempo, note divisions, self-oscillating feedback, and its own time LFO
WORKING
- Import MP3, WAV, AIFF, M4A, FLAC, MOV, and MP4
- Share audio straight in
Ratings & Reviews
Loop snapshots, wider EQ and a chaos LFO.
SNAPSHOTS
- Eight pads hold a loop and its pitch, so you can build variations of the same passage and jump between them.
- Store the same loop twice at different pitches to play one against the other.
- With SYNC on, a snapshot waits and switches the moment the loop comes back around, so you stay in time.
- LOAD and CLEAR arm the pads; snapshots save with the session.
PARAMETRIC EQ
- Every band now sweeps the full range, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, instead of stopping partway.
- The band LFOs sweep frequency rather than gain, and move by musical distance, so the same setting means the same thing on the low shelf and the high.
GRAIN ENGINE
- Harmonic Chaos has its own LFO, with all five shapes. Voices stack and drop as it sweeps.
SESSIONS
- New starts a clean session.
- Session files carry a VAPORLOOP icon
