kluppe is a recorder and loop-player, designed for live use.

kluppe is the austrian word for clip or peg and sounds even crazier if you loop it.

kluppe is a looper software, built with live performances in mind. It runs under linux and uses jack for audio i/o. It is released under the gnu license. you can download, use and redistribute it for free.

I wrote it for my own needs, but i'm always happy to hear about other people's experiences or needs concerning kluppe.

Here are some key features of "kluppe":
loading of (.wav, .aiff...) soundfiles into (memory-)buffers
saving / loading of settings
creating of empty buffers
playing and recording of multiple buffers via loop-players
direct (gui-) access to all loopers
combined- and per loop output-ports for jack
different playmodes including "granular"
uses 32bit buffers internally

Compiling:

if you have all libraries (and their corresponding developer-sources) installed,
it should simply compile with 'make'.
'make install' as root copies the binary to /usr/local/bin
sorry - no nifty autogen, configure... yet
if you run into troubles please let me know.

What's New in This Release:
corrected grain wrap around loopborders
reduce grain offsets to smoothen pitch shift
fix possible segfault for very small grains
improve klopfers shuttle control
simple midi control for granular pitchhift + bend
avoid "differ in signedness" warnings for gcc4
fix stepsize for output-volume fader
fix grainsize spinbutton behaviour
moved parts of main menu to "Edit" menu
