From the project
A digital tape looper module for Eurorack or standalone use, built on the Daisy Seed.
A digital tape looper module for Eurorack or standalone use, built on the Daisy Seed.
- 4 stereo or mono tape loop channels - record and play back independent, unsynchronized tape loops - Motor simulation - playback speed ramps up and down with a configurable rate - Tape simulation - with drive, grain and warble independently controllable - Variable playback speed - with Volt/Octave CV control and quarter/half/double/quad speed - Forward and reverse playback - Amplitude CV control - Clean recording — audio records cleanly into loop channels; tape simulation is applied during playback only -…
