Loophole – The Revolutionary MIDI-Controlled Loop Sampler
Discover Loophole by the talented developer de la Mancha – a powerful and flexible plugin that will transform your approach to working with audio loops. This innovative MIDI-controlled sampler allows you to go beyond simple playback, giving you full control over individual sections of up to four different loops simultaneously, triggering them with MIDI notes.
Forget about linearity! With Loophole, you can instantly switch between different loops, combine their sections to create unique rhythmic patterns, or even trigger random fragments for unpredictable and fresh ideas. This is the perfect tool for musicians and producers who strive for experimentation, creating dynamic arrangements, and “mashing up” styles. Its main idea lies in the ability to trigger individual sections of up to four different audio loops defined by you, using different MIDI notes for this purpose. This opens up endless possibilities for experimentation and creating a unique groove. In addition to the precise triggering of sections, you can also activate a random playback mode, which guarantees fresh and unexpected results every time.
Features and Capabilities
Unsurpassed Control and Visualization
Loophole gives you an unprecedented level of control over your loops. Assign different sections of each of the four loaded loops to separate MIDI notes and trigger them in any sequence. Need a sudden transition? Easy. Want to layer elements from different loops? No problem. Want to add an element of randomness? Activate the triggering of random sections with one MIDI note. The plugin’s visual interface provides a clear display of your loops, the current playback position, and active sections, making the editing and performance process intuitive. The tempo synchronization function allows you to easily integrate any loops into your project, automatically adjusting them to the tempo of the host program. You can even set the loop length in beats, allowing you to stretch or compress audio as needed.
Inspiring Content Library
To get you creating immediately, Loophole comes with a great starter content collection. You’ll find:
- A huge set of 171 high-quality drum loops. These loops are recorded in a clean 24-bit WAV format and cover an impressive variety of musical styles. From classic Rock and Jazz to modern electronic genres such as Breakbeat, DnB, Hip Hop, Dubstep, Lofi, Glitch, experimental 8 bit, as well as popular House and Trance – there’s material here for any project. The loops are organized into 19 thematic kits, making it easier to find and select them.
- 21 professionally created presets. These ready-made settings demonstrate the potential of Loophole in various musical contexts and can serve as a great starting point for your own experiments.
- 12 demonstration MIDI files. They clearly show both basic and more complex techniques for using MIDI triggers to create dynamic and interesting rhythmic structures.
Technical Reliability and Flexibility
The developers at de la Mancha have ensured that Loophole is not only a creative tool but also technically perfect. The plugin is known for its extremely low CPU resource consumption, which allows you to use it even on not-so-powerful systems without fear of overloading the project. It supports loading any WAV files (16, 24, and 32 bit, mono or stereo), making it a versatile tool for working with any audio material. Each loop has an independent volume envelope, allowing you to smoothly introduce or fade out the sound and eliminate unwanted clicks. Normalization and mono conversion options are also available. For maximum flexibility in mixing, Loophole offers both a stereo output and a multi-output version, allowing you to process each loop separately in your DAW.
Loophole is a tool that inspires experimentation, expands your capabilities in working with audio, and allows you to create unique and memorable rhythmic structures. Add it to your plugin arsenal and discover new horizons of sound design and music production!
