Logelloop 5.1 Released

Today we released Logelloop 5.1 !

Aside from some bug fixes, Logelloop 5.1 introduces some very important things, like : Korpus (a revolutionary new Live Looping system) and a bunch of Looper new functionalities.

We still are in the mood for simplifying the use of the overall tool and we particularly do our best to improve the documentation. In this version, you will find a lot of new features including a multi-track audio file player, some File Player new synchronization functionalities, many new external commands (midi, OSC, LFO, macro) for inserts and SFXs (some of them now includes Midi note feedback), the ability to copy and paste SFX control messages for Macros (available in the tab “Messages – Controllers – Commands” of the documentation). The access to the project settings is now contextually possible from specific windows (Macros and File Player), in some cases we have also added direct link buttons to storage folders (Macros, File player, output recorder, etc.). 

We took advantage of the redesign of the SFX and LFX control system to standardize the variable names used by these plug-ins. In some cases, when you open your old projects, you may be asked to modify these variable names in your macros. We hope this will prevent you from having broken macros after the update.

Below you’ll find the complete list of new features and fixes.
