Electrix has announced it plans to show its new Virtual Repeater Pro software in September at the Plasa show in London.

The Electrix Repeater hardware bought a host of new capabilities to the musician, DJ and dedicated 'looper' when it was launched in 2001 - earning a solid following. The re-launched Electrix brand is dedicated to supporting the existing Repeater product as well as bringing its capabilities to a wider audience. The first offering in this product line is Virtual Repeater for Windows and Mac OS X.

Virtual Repeater features a Graphical User Interface experience that is simple, intuitive and powerful. It complements the existing UI with new graphical ways of interacting with loop material, allowing artists to see and interact with their audio flow – in real time.

Features:

• Clean, dynamic, clean, fast and intuitive GUI:
  • Classic and Modern control panel styles.
  • Track controls for gesture control and mesmerizing visual feedback of loop track behaviour. A whole new way of looping.
  • Integrated single-pane loop browsing.
  • Simple, clean, intuitive access to all controls. No menus to wade through.
  • Direct help to keep you moving.
• Clean, crisp loops.
• Rock-solid beat detection; from picked guitar to four-on-the-floor Virtual Repeater hears you and locks on.
• Timing stretch. Want to match to 120 BPM – let Virtual Repeater take you there with no change in pitch – in real time.
• MIDI and user-controlled sync modes for versatile synchronization.
• Multiple loop tracks with independent control:
  • Slip: offset by fractions of a beat or whole bars. From slap-back to telephasic mayhem.
  • Pan: true stereo control.
  • Pitch: From subtle thickening to chipmunks. Fractions and whole semitones.
  • Play, stop, reverse. Tracks play against each other as you want them to.
• Effects: VST input, output and track inserts.
• Multiple output busses.
• Seamless real-time loop cueing.
