A loop-mangling instrument that turns your sample library into an ever-evolving, beat-synced performance — without touching a single knob.
Loop Breaker's modifier engine does the creative heavy lifting. You decide the boundaries — it fills in the surprises.
Drag WAV, AIFF, FLAC, or MP3 files onto the 8-pad grid. Each pad loops its sample in sync with your DAW's transport and tempo.
Click or MIDI-trigger pads to mark them as targets. If you don't select any, the engine picks 1–4 pads for you automatically.
Set a fixed interval, a random range of bars, or a time-based window — Loop Breaker fires a randomly selected modifier on your targeted pads. Effects, slicing, pitch shifts, speed changes, and more.
Use the Probability tab to dial in which modifiers appear and how often. Automate them from your DAW or map them to MIDI CC hardware.
Built for live performance, sound design sessions, and creative exploration.
24 modifier types across four categories — buffer transforms, channel effects, master effects, and specials — applied on a beat-synced timer you control.
Per-modifier and per-pad probability sliders let you shape the randomness. Set a modifier to zero to disable it entirely, or crank it up for chaos.
Beat Slice, Arp Slice, and Slice Repeater chop your loops into rhythmic subdivisions and reassemble them in randomized or stuttered patterns.
8 independent stereo output buses plus a master mix. Route each pad to its own DAW mixer channel for independent processing and recording.
Map pads, the modifier toggle, and preset slots to MIDI notes. Map probability sliders to MIDI CC. Compatible with Akai MPD, Maschine, Launchpad, and more.
Snapshot the complete modifier state across all 8 pads into four preset slots. Recall them instantly via click or MIDI for scene-based performances.
Real-time SoundTouch-powered time-stretching and pitch-shifting. Change speed without affecting pitch, or shift pitch independently.
Divide each loop into 1–4 equal sections (A–D) for structured arrangements. The Switch Part modifier moves between sections automatically.
From Neon Rave to Warm Paper — pick a theme that fits your studio vibe. Smooth crossfade transitions between themes.
Modifiers are organized into four categories. Each one has its own probability slider so you stay in control of the chaos.
Loop Breaker follows your DAW's transport and tempo automatically. Every parameter that matters — master volume, all probability sliders, pad target weights — is exposed for host automation. Draw curves, use LFOs, or control everything from hardware.
Full state save and restore means your sessions reload exactly where you left off: loaded samples, MIDI mappings, probability settings, presets, theme, and timing configuration.
* Logic Pro requires a VST3 wrapper or AU bridge.

Loop Breaker is designed to be played, not just watched. Map the 8 pads to your drum controller's note grid for tactile pad selection. Assign the modifier toggle and preset recall slots to dedicated buttons. Map probability sliders to CC faders for live probability sculpting.
MIDI Learn is everywhere — Shift+Click or right-click any assignable control, play a note or move a knob, and you're mapped. Assignments persist across DAW sessions.
