Description

*** PLEASE READ ****
Enso is an AudioUnit V3 plugin; it requires an AUv3 host like Cubasis, Garageband, AUM, etc. THERE IS NO STANDALONE APP; it is only a container for the AUv3.

An architecturally unique and sonically characterful looping toolkit for producers and live performers, inspired by both modern looper pedals and vintage tape-based setups, Enso combines elegant and intuitive UI design with a deep but accessible feature set and stellar sound quality.

Enso’s operation will be immediately familiar to users of hardware looper pedals or plugins such as Ableton Live’s bundled Looper. Start playback of the host DAW, hit Enso’s record button and capture your instrumental performance into a loop of whatever length you like, up to ten minutes (five minutes on iOS). Then, without stopping playback, overdub further passes to create layered grooves, complex harmonic textures, or dense, evolving soundscapes.

Beyond those basics, though, Enso takes software looping into new territory. Two Overdub modes configure the plugin for conventional looper pedal behaviour or Frippertronics-style ‘dual tape deck’ manoeuvres, affecting the handling of the Feedback parameter for an endless range of layering possibilities; and up to four Sectors can be effortlessly defined, each with its own start and end points, for on-the-fly rearrangement of the loop.

With Enso, time and motion become truly fluid, as speed and direction are handled completely independently for playback and recording, the ‘through-zero’ bipolar Speed controls smoothly transitioning from forwards to backwards, and vice versa, in real time. Want to record forwards at half speed, while simultaneously playing the buffered loop in reverse at 1.25x? Of course you do…

Onboard tape-style saturation, filtering and chorus effects bring dirt, frequency-shaping and stereo thickening to the party; and a comprehensive MIDI assignment system makes it a snap to set your MIDI pedal or button controller up for operation of all Enso’s buttons and switches. With its animated play and record heads, meanwhile, the looping waveform display provides a clean, clear visual representation of the potentially mind-bending temporal acrobatics taking place, letting you get a handle on exactly what’s happening at a glance.

Giving you everything you need for limitlessly creative looping, on stage and in the studio, Enso is one of Audio Damage’s most beautifully realized plugins yet, and an empowering addition to any musician’s arsenal of effects

No competition no complaints.

Getting this app will give your iOS device super looper powers of devices many times its cost in the real world. A great value and great sound.

Love audio damage but this app needs an update

I want to love this looper so bad. I have tried so00oOO many times (iPad Pro 2010 & now M2) to give it another shot but there is always something off with it. I saved presets (with audio buffer) to reopen sessions later and the timing is off after playing a while??? The worst is when you finally get a good take but it crashes before you can save it and ALL IS LOST!?! I guess this isn’t made for what I’m using it for and need to repurpose it somewhere else. Hopefully some bugs get worked out and I can go back to using it..

I love it..when it works...unfortunately too unstable

It could be an amazing looper...but...too many issues...i hit rec and wont record..i have to unloaded and loaded back a few times and sometimes it will eventually work...to make it more infuriating...that means i have to redo all midi mappings! Arghh!...but...when i get it to work its great! Please fix this! Thanks
