## Gauss Field Looper Description
Co-designed with Berlin-based electronic musician Hainbach, Gauss brings the oldschool tape-looping art form to mobile devices. This creative field looper works both standalone and as an Audio Unit effect plugin and puts the possibilities of using looped tapes in your hands. Without the need for scissors.

Like real tape loops Gauss takes you off the grid of your DAW: you can adjust tape speed and direction, even during recording. The flow of your loops will drift organically as the tape follows its own cyclical timeline. 

Use overdub, or even multiple instances of the Audio Unit plugin, to create multi-layered ever changing sonic palettes. 

We want this app to be a celebration of digital audio technology, so when audio quality is degraded it will do so in a pleasingly crunchy digital way. For example, recording on low tape speeds will give you longer recording time, but at the cost (or pleasure) of a distinctively lower recording quality. So Gauss mimics the behaviour - not the sound - of magnetic tape.

Set the length of the tape, record and overdub your audio, play around with tape speeds; Gauss captures the essence of two ends of tape stuck together in all its unsynchronised, free-running glory. There's even a unique built-in 4-step polyrhythmic sequencer for sequencing tape-speed changes.

- designed as a standalone field recorder and an Audio Unit effect plugin (AUv3) in one package
- universal app: plugin and standalone work on all iDevices, iOS11 and higher
- variable tape speed; seamlessly change direction and speed during playback or recording
- 4-step sequencer lets you trigger (polyrhythmic) tape-speed changes in sync with your host tempo
- variable inertia for the tape drive motors (from instant to very slow speed changes) 
- built-in multi-mode filter with LFO modulation
- delay effect with optional host-sync mode
- “1989” mode uses a special 8 bit/11KHz tape head for a last-century vintage digital sound
- 45 seconds maximum loop size at 1x speed, proportionally longer at lower speeds (.e.g 90 seconds at half speed, etc.)
- overdub at any speed or tape direction
- plugin supports global cross-host preset handling (requires iOS13+, compatible AUv3 host)

## Gauss Field Looper Reviews in United States

### ***** "Bram is…read below"
The uncrowned King of this Kingdom! All hail the King! On your knees Daug!

There’s only a couple of devs I respect even more than my own life,

Bram is one. Respect.
-- Deathrow Inmates, 2024-08-01

### ***** "Great for iphone"
awesome little lofi effects sampler that mimics tape. pretty neat
-- EthanGross, 2023-06-06

### ***** "Huge update"
Sample import makes this already great app 10x as great.
-- capedape, 2023-04-21

### ***** "Creative options!"
So much you can do with this!
-- anickt, 2022-09-12

### ***-- "Cool app - UI uselessly small on iPhone"
Really like what this app does. Pretty intuitive and satisfying. But the UI is so irritatingly small that it seems rolling this out on tablets-only would have made more sense. It’s 4 years old so I can only imagine it hasn’t had enough adoption to put time into another UI update. Bummer. Could see this as a bonus auxiliary tool in live sets but not as it is now.
-- Get punched, 2022-05-17

### ***-- "Great buy why can’t you load loops in standalone?"
This app is killer as an audio unit in AUM but why is there no simple way to load loops from AudioShare or another method in standalone? If this is some “purist” decision to only serve as a field recorder it’s a bit ridiculous….
-- Justin032, 2022-05-15

### ***** "Flutter Some More Warble, Bitte."
You can finally retire your multi tape speed, overdubbable(? Not multitrack, which is fine) dictaphone. Not that you were ever able to synch sequence a magnetic tape or fine tune how much it warbles or the intensity and speed of fluttering (filter cutoff and modulation) and I have never heard an analog tape machine come to an adjustable speed stop so that it may reverse the direction it was traveling without having the capstan blow and pop off into the air like a Russian tank. 

Like most of these apps, you don’t need much to get started and messing with the provided preset loops will teach you more hands on than any documentation. 

I’m sure there is a way to improve this little beast, but at the moment I have been using it mostly standalone for a few months and I can’t think of anything that would add to it. Maybe something that would over-complicate it, but nothing to improve it.
-- transcendentalaccidentalism, 2022-04-15

### ****- "Almost perfect"
Really creative and inspiring little looper, though the inability to load samples in to it is puzzling. When you click on “load a loop” you see demo loops you can play with, while the “user loops” section is blank. However I don’t see anywhere in the app where you can import sound files.

I also tried navigating to the Gauss folder in my iPhone (using the files app) and adding MP3s to the “loop” folder, but that doesn’t make them appear in the app either. Hopefully this is something they add in the future.
-- SouvlakiPlaystation, 2021-12-19

### ****- "Works Great! Just one problem…"
This is an absolutely fantastic tape loop emulator. However whenever I plug my phone to an external output, the loops will either no longer play or the control interface just goes blank.
-- glockenspleen, 2021-10-24

### ****- "Pretty fun"
Pretty fun messing with the stock loops and recording simple things with iphone mic.
I’d like to be able to import loops and samples, mangle them in Gauss and export them.  Please add Audioshare for importing and exporting on the next update!
-- mikeymcdangerface, 2021-04-02
