Loop Engine 3

Loop Evolution

W. A. Production and Liminal Sphere proudly present Loop Engine 3, the ultimate in looped MIDI generation, designed to spark your creativity and elevate your tracks to the next level. Version 3 of Loop Engine features cutting-edge enhancements to workflow, refined voice selection and a suite of new polyrhythmic and note-splitting tools.

Building upon the solid foundation of previous iterations, Loop Engine 3 breaks new ground for usability and flexibility. Conceived primarily for those who love loops, the chord shapes and divisible segments are your jumping off point to generate intricate patterns like never before; inspiring riffs, shuffling arps, soaring melodies and complex polyrhythmic sequences.

Originally designed for EDM producers, Loop Engine 3 has evolved into a versatile tool capable of inspiring creativity across a myriad of genres. This innovative workstation effortlessly generates note progressions, drawing inspiration from chord shapes and rules. Whether you’re seeking a fresh perspective on chord progressions, or need an assistant to help out with melodies, Loop Engine 3's intuitive circular interface invites you to experiment and explore. With a simple click of "create," this plugin will craft captivating sequences, either playable in-plugin or ready to drag-and-drop into your DAW.

Chords, Loops & Voices

With 3 easily accessible viewing options, it’s a simple process to choose (or generate) chords from a wide variety of inversions, lengths, speeds, and keys. Fine-tune your entire riff or dive deeper with granular control over individual chord shapes, inversions, and velocity. Manipulate a broad spectrum of playback options for each chord with straightforward controls, transforming chord shapes and inversions for novel sonic textures. Select from 21 chord Functions and apply different styles of Type and Tension, bringing fresh sounds via Loop Engine 3’s Advanced Mode. With the overhauled Voice View you now have options for micro-timing adjustments, splitting and extending notes beyond chord shapes, adding passing Auxiliary notes and more. Don’t forget, the new Undo option for speedy experimentation.

Polyrhythmic Performance

Craft intricate polyrhythmic patterns with the updated POLY feature, allowing note-playing segments to weave together in mesmerising syncopation. Unleash self-generating melodies, creating patterns that interact dynamically with changing chord segments. As always, you can hear your adjustments in real time as you slide the polyrhythmic timing around the interface circle.

Loop Engine Listener

Routing MIDI out of the Loop Engine 3 and into additional tracks is the secret sauce behind this plugin. This routing is achieved with an additional secondary plugin; Loop Engine Listener. Loop Engine outputs up to 8 independent color-coded MIDI voices that route quickly to Loop Engine Listener, loaded onto instrument tracks in your DAW. Choose which voices supply which tracks, and easily swap them with just a couple of clicks. New to Loop Engine 3, choose which voices receive Auxiliary passing notes to spice up chord transitions.

Export MIDI

To customise your chords and riffs even further, drag and drop MIDI information from Loop Engine 3 directly into your DAW. Making your original patterns perfect for editing, transposing, and tweaking to fit your own personal style.

Powerful Presets

Loop Engine 3 offers an updated suite of categorised presets and a powerful preset manager, where everything can be tagged to your preferences. With sequence presets for chords, riffs, arpeggios and more, these presets make it easy to source musical motifs that can evolve into full tracks. Save your own creations as presets for future recall.
