Re: Presenting yet another looping software: Tape Loops

[Louigi Verona <louigi.verona@gmail.com>]

No, but the binary version available is only for windows. I will have to mention this on the website.
The source code is available and the audio library runs under Linux and Mac OS too. But you'll have to
compile that yourself at the moment.
I plan to switch to a free (as in freedom) audio library like PortAudio to make Tape Loops available in
free operating systems like gNewSense, Musix and other GNU/Linux distributions.
