HziLooper by HZI Tools

[pekbro]

For me this is a lot easier to set up and use than Circa, tbh I'm thinking of vibe coding a latch sequencer just for circa, which can be kind of complex to control exactly as you want. tbh, I don't consider Enso in the same class as the other two.

Not to mention that this straight up has unique design and features in it's own right. Reminds me of using the Boss loopers quite a bit.

I bought this with no deliberation concerning the AD loopers which I own as well. And those aren't even all of them heh. HZiLooper is an amazing effort and bargain imo, though I do find the UI to be quite huge on my modest screen.

I am trying grabbing sections from a wav file that is playing so that I can see the wav file going through the UI and I grab from the overlaid bar divisions. That is great and easy but I can't yet find a way to mute the ongoing wav file so that I only hear the bits I am grabbing. I dont want to hear the original file as it plays, I dont want the new loops to be overlaid on the original I just want to hear the sections that HziLooper is playing.
Is that possible?

I have the big boss pedal ver, not the tabletop or whatever. It reminds me of the tabletop one. I forget the designation.

Input Volume is a beautiful solution thanks so much

Looks awesome! Hurry up with the mac version, lol

[pekbro]

Awesome! Thanks for the update, great stuff

[herzihelmut]

Is there any idea as to when we might be able to see the Linux version?

Hey, i managed to build on unbuntu Linux. Already runned in Bitwig and seems fine on first impressions. Will test more next days.
Wanna join the Test Road?

Mac is in scope, have to get a used M1 from somewhere for this first
Also,with Triple OS delivery, some things are getting more compicated, have to make a multibuild-pipeline with guithub actions or something...we'll see. But i won't forget you Macies

[herzihelmut]

And thank you everyone who already tried this looper or bought it, that means a lot to me <3. Tryin to make things even more powerful and less complicated in future.
Added the Vst3 to KVR Database, feel free to add your impressions with it here

Any progress on the sequencer? That could be super awesome here, both parameter and control sequencing. I think so anyway. No doubt not an easy prospect.

Great stuff again! Thanks so much for this

youre right, i once called it "sloppy", it still is. Functional but meh. It will be a hard candidate for sure, but i already worked with great sequencers, definitely can make it cleaner and more convenient to use.

The Snapshot Morphing will get a great update soon, it will be XY Controllable for all 8 Snapshots.
