Loopino — Christmas Release 🎄
More Filters, Better Control, Improved Standalone Workflow
Just in time for the holidays, the new Loopino Christmas Release brings
workflow improvements, new classic filter models, and important
stability fixes—making Loopino more flexible, expressive, and reliable
than ever.
For standalone users, Loopino now features command-line support to
fine-tune the audio and MIDI setup before launch. You can directly
specify the ALSA MIDI device, sample rate, buffer size, and GUI
scaling—ideal for live setups or custom studio configurations.
Sound shaping has been expanded with two new character filters: a gritty
Wasp-style filter and a classic TB-303 filter, joining the existing Moog
and Oberheim-inspired designs. A new Tone control adds fast and musical
spectral shaping, perfect for dialing in brightness or weight without
complex routing.
This release also includes important bug fixes for both CLAP and VST2
builds. Thanks to everyone who reported issues—your feedback helps keep
Loopino stable and dependable across platforms.
New in this Release
-Command-line options for the standalone version:
- -d, --device <name> — select ALSA MIDI device (e.g. hw:1,0,0)
- -b, --buffer <value> — set ALSA buffer size
- -r, --rate <value> — set ALSA sample rate
- -s, --scaling <value> — GUI scaling factor (default: 1)
- New Wasp-style filter
- New TB-303 filter
- New Tone control
- Bug fixes for CLAP and VST2 (thanks to the reporters!)
Alongside these updates, Loopino continues to offer its full feature
set: drag-and-drop sample loading, on-the-fly recording, pitch tracking,
micro-loop generation, non-destructive wave shaping, ADSR envelopes,
multiple modulation sources, built-in effects, preset handling, WAV
export in key, and up to 48 voices of polyphony.

**Loopino — New Release: Expressive Control, Classic Filters, and
Improved Standalone Support**
This new Loopino release focuses on expressiveness, classic
analogue-inspired sound shaping, and a more powerful standalone
experience. With newly added Pitch Wheel support, Loopino now responds
more like a real instrument, enabling expressive bends, subtle detuning,
and dynamic performance gestures via MIDI.
Sound design has been expanded with the addition of an Oberheim-style
filter, complementing the existing Moog-style ladder filter. Together,
they offer two distinct analogue flavours for sculpting everything from
smooth pads to aggressive textures. Velocity-dependent dynamic controls
allow envelopes, filters, and modulation depth to react naturally to
playing intensity, bringing Loopino even closer to a
performance-oriented sampler-synth hybrid.
To enrich spatial depth and movement, this release introduces an
integrated Chorus and Reverb, making it possible to create wide, lush,
and immersive sounds directly inside Loopino—no external effects required.
For standalone users, native ALSA audio and MIDI support has been added,
improving stability, latency, and system integration on Linux.
Alongside these additions, Loopino continues to offer its core feature
set: drag-and-drop sample loading, on-the-fly recording, pitch tracking,
a powerful Micro Loop Generator with selectable loop count and duration,
non-destructive wave shaping (square & saw), LP/HP ladder filtering,
phase modulators (sine, triangle, noise, Juno-style), vibrato, tremolo,
root frequency control, preset handling, WAV export in the selected key,
and up to 48 voices of polyphony.
**Highlights of this Release**
- MIDI Pitch Wheel support for expressive performance
- New Oberheim-style filter
- Velocity-based dynamic modulation controls
- Integrated Chorus and Reverb effects
- ALSA audio & MIDI support for the standalone version
- Continued improvements to stability, workflow, and sound quality
Loopino keeps evolving into a flexible, expressive instrument that
bridges sampling, synthesis, and performance—designed for sound
designers, experimental musicians, and anyone who enjoys turning raw
audio into playable instruments.

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.
