Rondo

Rondo is a looper with a rolling 60-second memory that's always recording in the background — so the take you played before you reached for record is already there. Run it as a plugin in any DAW, or open the standalone app and catch an idea faster than launching a DAW project. Built for the happy accidents you'd otherwise lose.

Features

— Always-on tape memory. A rolling 60-second buffer of Rondo's output, recording even before you press RECORD even with the transport stopped and nothing armed. Nothing is lost between takes.

— Single-verb RECORD that cycles. One button runs the whole loop: arm close overdub commit. Like a Boss RC-1, but inside your DAW — the muscle memory transfers.

— One-cycle overdub auto-commit. One press, one clean layer; press again to stack. No "is it still recording?" guesswork.

— Sustain. Hold a chord as an independent drone that sustains under the loop.

— Mono input sum. Sum L+R into both channels for mono sources.

— Drag-to-DAW export. Drag the captured audio straight onto a track in your DAW, or write a WAV to disk.

Use cases

— Practice. Sustain a chord and play ideas over the drone.

— Capture happy accidents. Export the last 60 seconds, right where the magic happened.

— Layered build. Stack overdubs and a drone into a full idea.

— Standalone capture. Guitar interface Rondo. No DAW required.

Details

— Full keyboard control. Space RECORD · B PLAY/STOP · C twice CLEAR · Cmd/Ctrl+Z UNDO · / SUSTAIN · M MONO.

— Simple and efficient user interface. Everything on one surface, nothing to dig through.

— MIDI Learn footswitch mapping. Bind RECORD / PLAY / STOP / SUSTAIN / STOP SUSTAIN / UNDO to any footswitch via per-row LEARN; defaults match common single-row pedal presets.
