Luppp is a live audio looping application designed for musicians building performances from recorded or imported sound. Rather than arranging tracks along a conventional timeline, it provides a performance-oriented workflow in which loops can be triggered and combined while music is playing.
The software is intended for creating and modifying loop-based compositions in real time. Audio can be loaded or recorded into multiple tracks, giving performers a way to construct arrangements progressively.
Luppp uses JACK for its audio processing and routing. External MIDI controllers can provide hands-on access to performance functions, reducing reliance on the mouse during a live set. The emphasis is on responsive operation, loop manipulation and an uncluttered interface.
This is free and open source software.
