Supervised has released Rondo, a looper and sustainer built around an always-on rolling buffer.
Rondo continuously records the last 60 seconds of its input — even with the transport stopped and nothing armed — so a take played before reaching for record is still there. Captured audio can be exported as a WAV or dragged straight onto a track in the DAW.
Features:
- Always-on 60-second tape memory, recording before RECORD is pressed.
- Single-verb RECORD that cycles: arm → close → overdub → commit, modelled on hardware loop pedals.
- One-cycle overdub auto-commit.
- Sustain — hold a chord as an independent drone under the loop.
- Mono input sum for one-sided sources.
- Drag-to-DAW export, or write a WAV to disk.
- MIDI Learn footswitch mapping and full keyboard control.
Pricing and Availability:
Rondo is available now for $19, a one-time purchase, no subscription. An introductory 40% discount is available with code RONDOKVR through July 31. Direct link to the discount.
Rondo runs as a VST3 or Audio Unit plug-in, or as a standalone application: macOS 12 or later (Universal Binary, Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10 or later.
