Waveloop
What it is
WaveLoop is a collection of loopers, samplers, and recording apps for making and reshaping musical ideas. X1 records a single audio lane and can reverse it, change its speed, or flatten it. Its editing is destructive, with no undo or project files. X4 provides four lanes for stacking ideas into arrangements. Choppa records or imports audio, divides it into chops, and plays them as pads on its own or inside an Audio Unit host.
The free REAPER JSFX Suite includes X1, X4, Choppa, and 14 built-in effects. It requires REAPER v6.0 or later, with v7+ recommended, and is described as working on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The separate Suite purchase is $24, paid once and includes x1, x4, embedded Choppa, and future VST3/AU plugins when available; the license covers all the buyer’s machines with no DRM. Choppa is listed separately for $4.99, paid once on the iOS App Store. WaveLoop also describes Tide, an iOS and iPadOS voice-notes app that syncs recordings across devices with iCloud. Developer Elijah Lucian identifies himself as the one person behind WaveLoop.
