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.
