Are there any (good) VSTi plugins that take a sample and loop it continuously either locked to the tempo or freely and which have an option for playback speed?

Actually, what I'm looking for is a VSTi equivalent to loopers such as found in e.g. Bidule or Audiomulch.

Try Loopyllama

& Angstrolooper

Both very good

Those look nice indeed, but they don't seem to have any way of loading files. See, I don't want to record the loop into the plugin, I already have lots of loops which I just want to load straight into the looper.

Try HighLife. http://www.discodsp.com/highlife

You load a sample and go to View > Edit. Then enable Sync button and specify the steps. You can also use auto-slicing under Cue > Sync Split.

Whoa, that looks like a full sampler which is way more than I need (I already own HALion). Hmm, there is always the option of writing my own looper in synthedit or alike, but I can't imagine that nobody has written something like this before.

Well, it is really inexpensive for what it does. Up to you, of course.

On top of live looping, Loopyllama can open files and loop them. So can Zone Mobius.

Hmm, OK I will give Loopyllama a try then.

Zone Mobius looks fanatastic, but for some reason I never got it to work properly in Cubase, it would always crash on me seconds after I added it to my instrument rack. Maybe the latest version is better, I'll have to try that.

Thanks everyone by the way

Zone Mobius can be crashy at times. The VST is only a bridge to the standalone app, so it may cause some instability depending on how uptight a host can be with windows.

ioplong's relofter might also do what you want:

That's more like it! Looks exactly like what I was looking for. I'll give it a spin tonight.

Thanks!!

If what you want is a timestretching/host sync loop player, like the one in AudioMulch, than give H4xxor a try.
It's main purpose is beatslicing but you can also use it for playing loops in your host's bpm.
