Way back when, I had an original Boomerang+ Phrase Sampler. Before looping was cool; chiefly inspired by Trey Anastasio’s use of one.
The Boomerang is a special device because it is, in my opinion, the perfect combination of simple and powerful.
It epitomizes The Way of “Perfect is not when there is nothing more to add; it is when there is nothing more to take away.”
There aren’t any close emulations in plugin-land. Every other looper plugin on the market is too complicated - or too simple. So I had to create my own.
So to that end I set about to figure out how to make a plugin that perfectly emulates the unique layout and behavior of this singular piece of gear.
After many false starts, plugin framework changes, and frustrating bugs, I’ve finally gotten it to a point where I’m ready to call it a beta and give it a good push out to the world. All functionality works, including:
MIDI
stack (overdub)
reverse
half speed
through mute
I haven’t figured out the live-reverse special mode yet. And there are a few bugs that I need to fix before taking it out of beta. But it’s ready.
I’d love to get your feedback and suggestions! Please let me know if you try it! (Mac only at this time, other platforms coming soon (although i haven’t actually tried it on a win/nix box, so maybe we’ll get lucky))
Oh, I’ll be providing a GP rackspace/panel config file for it too, of course!
Hi all,
The latest release of this plugin is ready and i think this is the one, what will be the official v2.0.0 build and release. It’s ready. There’s more to do but all the plumbing problems are solved so i can focus on features.
thank you so much! yeah, it’s really exciting how quickly it’s coming along. MIDI sync is one of the most requested features and is at the top of the list!
