Tap once and it grooves. Hold an orb to take control — draw the beat, grab the tone, paint the chords. 12 classic drum machines and synths, modelled, never sampled. loopdaloop is a beat maker that grooves the moment you touch it — and hands you the controls the moment you want them. Tap a pad and a drum machine, a bass line or a pad starts playing, on the beat, in key, already swinging. Hold an orb and a halo of moves fans out around it: make it busier or calmer, flip the pattern, swap the instrument, shift the octave, draw the beat by hand, grab the tone, ride the faders. Nothing you do can be out of time or out of key. Everything you do lands on the next bar. GROOVING IN ONE TAP • Add sound: a surprise voice lands on the deck and speaks right away — a kit, a bass, a lead, a pad, a texture. • Every pattern swings: MPC-style groove and light humanization are built in, and a groove readout lets you dial it from straight to deep. • Fill, drop, lift, flip, more hits, fewer hits, half-time, double-time: one tap each, quantized, self-resolving. Mash buttons, get an arrangement. • Whole-deck warps: echo, space, dark, crush, phaser, flanger, a Leslie cabinet, auto-wah, pump — and you can see them. Echo ripples the sky, space hazes it, the Leslie spins around its orb. TAKING CONTROL • Hold an orb for its halo: busier, calmer, half-time, double-time, flip, swap, octave up and down, duplicate, tone, faders, edit, banish. • Draw the beat: a 16-step grid per sound. Drums get a row per voice, melodies a row per note of the key — so anything you draw stays in key by construction, and it sounds the moment you paint it. • Sounds you can shape: a four-band EQ on every sound, drawn as one curve. Drag a node and hear the band sweep. • A fader for every hit: mix the kit live — kick, snare, clap, hats, toms, ride, crash — while it keeps playing. • Paint the chords: a harmony lane with one chord per bar. Bass, lead and pads follow it, voice-led, never clashing. • Melt anything into anything: drag one orb onto another and in one bar they become a single new instrument sharing the timbre and rhythm of both. • A stage you can hear: the band stands in front of a listener, and every sound plays from where its orb stands. Carry an orb left and it moves left; drums and bass hold the centre. Walk the listener through the band and the mix follows. • Two faders on every orb: down for the filter, across for the echo. Hold a fader to swap in a tape delay, filtered echo, ping pong, flanger, phaser, bitcrush, autopan, stereolizer, auto envelope, spring or church reverb. • Loop any move: press an orb or a fader, then drag — it loops. • Infinite undo. Every move on the deck can be walked back to the start of the session. CLASSIC MACHINES, SYNTHESIZED • 12 drum machines — TR-909, TR-808, TR-606, TR-707, TR-505, LinnDrum, LM-1, MPC60, SP-1200, CR-78, DMX and the ones you forge — as circuit models, not samples: bridged-T kicks, modal snares with real wire rattle, granular claps, FM-metal hats with a ringing plate body. • Synths in the spirit of the Minimoog, Juno, TB-303, SH-101, MS-20, Polysix and OB-Xa: subtractive voices with accent, slide, detune and drive. • Seventeen drum styles — house, disco, funk, pop, boom bap, trap, drill, grime, electro, big beat, big room, rolling techno, 2-step, half-time, footwork, gqom, dembow — written to groove, not to fill, each with its own bus dynamics. Every sound you add is picked for the tempo and the style already playing, so a house deck gets an offbeat bass and organ stabs and a drill deck gets sliding 808s. • 14 chord journeys and 7 moods. The whole deck follows the harmony; the drums are tuned to the key too. SONGS AND SCENES • Capture the deck as a scene, tap scenes in any order, keep songs. Every new song rolls a fresh tempo, key, mood and groove, and every song remembers its own. • Line scenes up in the sequencer row and the song plays itself. • Everything is on your phone, fully offline. No account, no samples to download, no subscription to play. There is no manual because there is no wrong move. Tap. Hold. Drag. It's already grooving — you're in control.
