Loopette: Cassette Tape Looper

About

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 NO SUBSCRIPTION One-time purchase. No ads. No login. No data harvesting. Free updates as new effects land — reverb, delay, and granular are next on the bench. Designed for iPhone. Made for musicians.
