Shed Valley Labs has released Chief LP-2, a free software looper for Windows.
Chief LP-2 is a 2-channel audio looper designed for live performance. It combines a tight, sample-accurate audio engine with a fast, performance-focused workflow—tap a tempo, record a loop, and it locks to the bar automatically.
Core Features
- 2 independent loop channels with per-channel gain, mute, and input mute.
- MIDI learn for all parameters.
- Host VST instruments (VSTi) and record their output as audio.
- Bar-synced recording.
- Count-in and fixed-length recording modes.
- Overdub with adjustable decay.
