http://www.zonemobius.com/ "Mobius is a program for the real-time creation and manipulation of audio loops. It has functionality based on the venerable Echoplex Digital Pro with Loop IV software. While not technically an emulator, it does implement many of the Loop IV features, as well as a number of useful new features. Mobius is essentially 8 synchronized stereo EDP's with the ability to copy loops and timing between them. Extensive MIDI and computer keyboard control is available. Audio content may be saved to and loaded from files. " Or, if you want to see the list I compiled for LD, based on input from everyone, there is this (Kim, can you make a page for this?): 1. SooperLooper - A live looping sampler capable of immediate loop recording, overdubbing, multiplying, reversing and more. It allows for multiple simultaneous multi-channel loops limited only by your computer's available memory. The feature-set and operation was inspired by the impressive Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro (EDP). Not VST, but a stand-alone program. Currently supported on Linux and Mac OS X, and any other platforms that support JACK. Not supported on XP, but is supposed to be in the future. . http://essej.net/sooperlooper/ 2. Mobius - A program for the real-time creation and manipulation of audio loops. It has functionality based on the venerable Echoplex Digital Pro with Loop IV software. Runs as stand-alone and as VST. Supported on Windows XP, 2000, and NT. http://www.zonemobius.com/ 3. ELOTTRONIX XL - A VST plugin which emulates the famous Robert Fripp's effect called "Frippertronics": Two Revox B-77 making a continuous loop. Supported on PCs (MAC uncertain). http://www.uv.es/%7Eruizcan/p_vst.htm 4. ELOTTRONIX - A VST plugin which emulates the famous Robert Fripp's effect called "Frippertronics": Two Revox B-77 making a continuous loop (2-8 seconds delay). Supported on PCs (MAC uncertain). http://www.uv.es/%7Eruizcan/p_vst.htm 5. Lexicon PSP 42 - A high-quality digital stereo delay and phrase sampler plug-in (VST, DirectX RTAS for PC; VST and RTAS for Mac OS classic and AudioUnit, VST and RTAS for Mac OSX) based on the legendary Lexicon PCM 42 processor and famous for its distinctive sound and unique concept . Supported on PC, Mac OS classic, and Mac OSX. http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/psp42.html 6. Augustus Loop - An emulation of a tape-based delay effect, with some extra features to facilitate its use as a looping device. Runs as a stand-alone, not VST. http://www.collective.co.uk/expertsleepers/augustusloop.html 7. Loopy Llama v0.802 - It's a looper... made to emulate the Jam Man or DL-4 (VST plugin). Supported on Windows and MAC OSX. http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/LoopyLlama/ or http://www.rekliner.com/?PageID=14 8. Ambiloop - A Windows software application that uses your sound card to create smoothly overlapping loops of sound in real-time. Ambiloop basically functions like a multi-track endless audio tape loop or digital delay box with feedback. Simply set the desired loop time for a track (or use manual mode to set loop times on-the-fly) and press the record button. Supported on Windows. http://evenfall.com/ambiloop/ 9. AngstroLooper - A ridiculously long delay; it partly emulates an old style tape loop system, but rather than trying to model something that it isn't, AngstroLooper is designed to be easy to use tool on a laptop while playing live. Functions as a VST plugin. Supported on Windows. http://plugins.timeshard.com/angstrolooper/ 10. Musolomo - An "interactive sampler" released as an OSX AU (Windows VST supposedly forthcoming). It also has an Autoloop mode, which will allow you to record and overdub sound-on-sound much like a hardware Looper. Supported on Windows and MAC OS X. http://www.plasq.com 11. Coldcutter - A VST 2.0 plugin. The Coldcutter is designed to chop a loop into a number of slices or 'cuts' and rearranges them randomly in real-time according to a number of parameters. The current version of the Coldcutter was primarily designed for use with Ableton Live 1.5 but works with Cubase. It has undergone preliminary testing on Cubase VST 5.0 R4 and Cubase SX 1.01 on Windows 2000. Any information about compatibility problems with other hosts or versions of Windows gratefully received. Supported on Windows. http://www.brightonart.org/coldcutter.shtml 12. Loopitch (name subject to change: suggestions accepted) - A long-period high-feedback looping machine, akin to continuous tape loops in "the old days" or digital Jam Man or Echoplex of today. Now all the Fripp and Torn wannabes out there can have fun with a MIDI controllable looper within a sequencing host! Loopitch currently works as a DXi2 instrument under SONAR 2 (my only test platform!), and will likely play well with other DXi hosts. The VSTi version works identically via the FXpansion adapter, but is otherwise mostly untested in VST hosts. Supported on Windows. http://www.tencrazy.com/gadgets/loopitch/ 13. Freewheeling - FreeWheeling is a new way to be In The Muse-ical Moment. It is a live looping instrument that returns us to the joy of making music spontaneously. FreeWheeling allows us to build repetitive grooves by sampling and directing loops from within spirited improvisation. FreeWheeling works because it is built from the perspective of an improviser. It takes us out of mice and menus, and into our own process of making sound. FreeWheeling is open source software, released under the GNU GPL license. I hope that this will help FreeWheeling grow into a robust platform for live looping. For Linux only. Uses the JACK, ALSA, SDL, OGG, or FluidSynth libraries. http://freewheeling.sourceforge.net/#what 14. Divine Machine - Born from the ideas of two music professionals who were unsatisfied with the current loop software, Devine Machine VSTi allows you to spontaneously and effortlessly explore the possibilities from loops you already own. Hundreds of presets allow you to create variation on any loop with a single click. Drum mode allows you to have loops match precisely with independent control over groove, tempo, and score. Supported on Windows / Pentium systems. http://www.devine-machine.com/home.html K- -----Original Message----- From: Jim Cole [mailto:thejimcole@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2005 8:42 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: software that emulates Echoplex DP Please forgive me if I've overlooked a link on the LD site that compares available software with the EDP. I imagine this topic must've been covered extensively here. I've been looking a bit in the archives for guidance but haven't yet found such through search queries I've tried (I'd appreciate referrals to specific past related threads in the archives, too). Lately I've been asking some looping musicians for their advice about software to do looping live-on-the-fly like the Echoplex. In your opinion, is there anything out there that compares favorably with the EDP in terms of functions, ease of use, interface etc.? ...I was considering setting up a system with a looper, mixer, and reverb on a lap top for portability. So far the advice I've gotten indicates sticking with a dedicated looping unit like my 'plex for the time being. I say "like the Echoplex" only because all of my direct experience with looping so far is with that unit, but if there's software out there that you think is useful for live performance that doesn't necessarily work in the same way as the EDP, I'm curious about that, too. Thanks for your advice, help and guidance, ~Jim Cole http://www.spectralvoices.com ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
