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.
