Loopino — New Release: Faster Workflow, Deeper Control, More Sound-Shaping Power The latest Loopino update brings a major boost in workflow, sampling flexibility, and creative sound design tools. Built for fast experimentation and musical expression, Loopino now makes it easier than ever to load, capture, shape, and export unique audio textures. Effortlessly drag and drop samples or browse your files directly inside Loopino. Record new material on the fly, trim to precise clip marks, and refine your sounds with non-destructive fade-outs and integrated pitch tracking. The Micro Loop Generator has been expanded to let you choose loop count and duration, turning any waveform into evolving rhythmic fragments or playable micro-textures. For deeper shaping, Loopino includes non-destructive wave sharpers (square & saw), a full ADSR envelope, and a versatile LP/HP ladder filter with cutoff and resonance control. Phase modulation sources (sine, triangle, noise, Juno-style), vibrato, tremolo, and root frequency control open the door to expressive synthesis possibilities. And with up to 48 voices, Loopino handles dense, layered sounds with ease. Export your processed samples or micro-loops as WAV files—automatically tuned to your selected key—and save or load presets to build your own library of sounds. Key Features * Drag-and-drop sample loading * Integrated file browser * On-the-fly audio recording * Trim samples to clip marks * Non-destructive fade-out processing * Integrated pitch tracker * Micro Loop Generator with selectable loop number & duration * Square & sawtooth wave sharpers (non-destructive) * Full ADSR envelope * Preset save/load system * Export processed samples/loops as WAV in selected key * LP/HP ladder filter with resonance & cutoff * Phase modulators: sine, triangle, noise & Juno-style * Vibrato & tremolo * Root frequency control * Up to 48 voices for polyphonic playback Loopino continues to evolve into a flexible, creative sampler-synth hybrid—perfect for sound designers, experimental musicians, and anyone who loves transforming audio into something new. Availability * Linux: Standalone application, CLAP plugin, VST2 plugin * Windows: CLAP plugin, VST2 plugin Project Page: https://github.com/brummer10/Loopino Release Page: https://github.com/brummer10/Loopino/releases/tag/v0.0.2

TourManager 1.0.0 is out!

by Vincent Rateau

Dear Linux Audio Musicians and Developers, I'm happy to release today *TourManager* 1.0.0. (GPL) This is not an audio application, but a tool for musicians (and more) to organize gigs and shows. Since it is really musician-related, I think it might be of interest to this group. If not, please excuse this email. Description: TourManager is a tool to help artists, musicians, bookers, and event managers with the organization of shows and events. TourManager wants to be simple and powerful, and it has a lot of tools to help organize your shows efficiently. It has a map to show your venues, a travel costs calculator, notes, statistics, links to locate addresses and get directions, it can generate calendar files for your favorite calendar application, export the upcoming shows into html, and many more useful tools. It will definitely reduce the boring tasks, making the booking processes enjoyable, and even bring multi-user cooperation! Source and binaries: https://github.com/sonejostudios/TourManager I wrote this basically for myself, since I couldn't find a tool like this in the open source/linux ecosystem. I have been using it for a long time, I have more than 160 shows and 150 venues in my database! Finally, I achieved to reach version 1.0.0, which is now available :) I wish you a lot of good organization work with it, plenty of new gigs for the year 2026 and hope it will help you as much as it helps me. If you find any bugs, please reach out! All the best Vince(www.superdirt.net <https://www.superdirt.net/>)

Loopino --Creative Micro-Loop Sampler v0.0.1 released

by Hermann Meyer

*Loopino — Creative Micro-Loop Sampler Now Available* Loopino is a lightweight yet powerful sampler designed for experimental sound design, rhythmic exploration, and fast musical sketching. Load any audio file and instantly slice, extract, and transform it—Loopino lets you isolate multiple micro-loops from a single sample and play them like instruments. At its core, Loopino features a musical architecture built for tone shaping and performance. A built-in Moog-style ladder filter and a flexible “Sharper” saturator add warmth, grit, or bite. Pitch and fundamental frequency control enable precise tuning, while dedicated ADSR envelopes allow expressive dynamics. Save and load your own presets to build a library of playable textures, loops, and sonic ideas. *Key Features* * Load a sample and automatically carve out multiple micro-loops * Per-loop playback, manipulation, and performance * Integrated Moog-style ladder filter for classic analogue character * Sharper module for tonal shaping, saturation & edge * Fundamental frequency control for accurate tuning * ADSR envelope system for dynamic expression * Full preset save/load system for creative workflows *Availability* * *Linux:* Standalone application + CLAP plugin * *Windows:* CLAP plugin Loopino is free, open, and built for musicians, sound designers, and curious audio explorers. Whether you want evolving textures, rhythmic fragments, or new sample-based instruments—Loopino turns any sound into inspiration.
