Loopette: Cassette Tape Looper

Loopette is a cassette looper for iPhone. Press the tape to freeze. Drag to scrub. Flick to spin. The motor wobbles. The tape saturates. Loops that breathe.

A pocket-sized tape machine, alive in your hands. Built for songwriters, producers, and sound designers who want analog character without menu-diving.

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

• Touch-to-hold — press the cassette to freeze playback at the spot

• Drag to scrub — DJ-style scratching with velocity-sensitive pitch

• Flick to spin — momentum-based motion with a natural slowdown

• Waveform timeline — see exactly where you are while you move

WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE

• Wow & flutter — slow drift and fast wobble, dialed by ear

• Tape saturation — soft compression with frequency-dependent grain

• Bias — frequency tilt the way old machines do

• Ladder filter — warm, resonant low-pass that sweeps like a vintage synth

• Hiss & age — noise floor and degradation you can taste

HIDDEN DEPTH

• Granular engine descended from a legendary open-source Eurorack module

• Position, grain size, density, pitch — real texture synthesis

• Found by feel, not by hunting through menus

LOOPING THAT FLOWS

• Overdub — layer takes without ever leaving the screen

• Resampling — bounce loops back into the engine to keep building

• Variable speed & reverse — pitch and direction as performance tools

• Auto-save — never lose a take

PROJECTS, NOT PRESETS

• Name your projects on the tape label

• Recall them instantly — your last take is one tap away

• Import WAV, AIFF, or M4A; record from the mic

• Export dry or fully wet, with the tape character baked in

• Bluetooth-aware — auto-detects wireless audio gear
