LoopStation: Digital Looper for Guitarists & Musicians

Discover LoopStation, the ultimate digital looping pedal software for real-time music layering, sampling, and recording. Find out how it can enhance your live performances.

What is LoopStation?

LoopStation is a feature-rich digital looping pedal software designed for guitarists, vocalists, and other musicians who want to layer musical parts in live performance. It allows users to record, overdub, playback, and manipulate audio loops and musical phrases in real-time without external hardware.

At its core, LoopStation works like a digital sampler and recorder. Users can record a guitar riff, vocal line, percussion part, or any audio up to 10 minutes long into the software. This recorded audio loop can then be played back continuously as the user records and layers additional parts on top. The loops sync perfectly in time without drifting.

LoopStation comes equipped with controls to start/stop recording, playback volume adjustment, transpose pitch, reverse, speed up/slow down playback, and more. Effects like chorus, delay, reverb can also be added. The intuitive interface makes it simple to build complex, multi-layered loops and gives creative flexibility during live shows or practice sessions.

With stable audio clocking and quality digital sampling up to 24-bit/48 kHz, LoopStation delivers seamless, artifact-free looping for music performances, songwriting sessions, or experimentation. The software is available as a standalone application or VST/AU plugin for compatibility with major DAWs.
