What is the concept behind Loopseque?

Many genres of electronic music are based on loops, repeating sequences of sounds. The basic idea behind Loopseque is to visualize loops with circles, because a circle perfectly reflects the repeating structure of loop music. After we realized this simple thing, we spent many months experimenting with form and code.

Soon we realized that this visualization opens up a really powerful perception of music patterns, and enables an immensely deep connection between the musician and the structure of the music. In fact, this simple interface makes it so easy to create rhythm patterns that you can do it real-time while the music plays and that gives you many means for improvisation.

Another concept behind Loopseque is the ability to change quickly between patterns, which is implemented with the innovative interface that we call "Wheel Matrix". It's also easy: first you prepare several patterns for each instrument and then, in Wheel Matrix mode, you can switch quickly between them.

Wheel Matrix opens up another new dimension for improvisation, because patterns are changed immediately, and that gives you the ability to combine different parts of the patterns in many ways. And of course, you can change patterns on different channels simultaneously, since Loopseque is a very multi-touch friendly app!

When we designed Loopseque, our goal was to let everybody feel and express their musical creativity in a simple, beautiful, game-like way. It worked for a lot of our friends who had tried different Loopseque prototypes long before the official release date, and they gave us huge support and approval (which helped us a lot, and we're very thankful to all of them). We hope it will also work for you. Have fun!
