This software utilizes two AudioCubes to generate live musical phrases in real-time, providing musicians with an innovative instrument for producing unique sounds.
The application works by allowing users to move their hands around the cubes, which sends information about note or automation parameters to the plugin and stores the information. Users can modify the loop at any time by bringing their hands within range of the cubes. To begin audio playback, users simply press the round "Start" button.
It's important to note that if volume or a filter is selected as one of the timbre cube parameters, sound may not be heard until the corresponding cube face is interacted with. However, users are encouraged to interact with the cubes to experiment and find a loop that they like. Once a suitable loop is found, users can move their hands outside of the range of the cubes and listen to it. At any time, they can alter the note by moving back within range.
For those who want to avoid the monotony of static loops, LoopShaper provides a "decay" feature. This causes the timbre cube values to slowly drift toward zero. Users can adjust the decay value to achieve the desired effect.
The application also includes a few helpful features to further refine the loop. Below each cube are a checkbox labeled "Lock" and a button labeled "Clear". Clicking on "Lock" will make it impossible to modify the corresponding cube's loop. Clicking on "Clear" will erase the memory of that cube, allowing users to start fresh. Overall, LoopShaper is an exciting and innovative application that is sure to inspire creativity in music production.
