What's New?

Loop Turntablism !!

You can now record loop and treat them as a DJ might .... setting up crossfade, frequency shift, and even scratching the loops on virtual turntables. Check out the new loop turntablism video to see it in action.

Coming soon: Visualization, external syncing and VST compliance.

Audio Demos

Here is a short collection of audio clips meant to demonstrate some of the features of FlyLoops. Each of these is a live clip with light editing.

MIDI Control: This version of FlyLoops is fully configurable to any midi controller. You will find a simple midi learn function that allows any midi command to be mapped to any of FlyLoops 100 or so functions. Group Looping: FlyLoops is designed to allow a group of musicians to all work on the same bank of loops without interfering with one another. All the audio inputs are treated as indepedent, so that several users can work on the same set of loops without accidentally recording one another. The program can treat each instrument as being on a seperate channel, and distinquish which user or users are requesting to be recorded and to which loop tracks. Additionally, though not neccessary, most users will want to have a midi controller of some type to control the program.

The FlyLoops software is a long time project of Aaron Leese. Five years ago I proposed a looping device capable of recording multiple parallel loops. this was the subject of my senior design project in Electrical Engineering at Penn State University, where I earned my degree.

Since that time I have worked as often as possible to create and refine this software, adding new features along the way at the request of others or as I thought of them. I hesitate to say the project is close to completion because there are always improvements to be made, but I will say that I am very happy to have completed what I have, and that I feel I have realized what was only a dream five years ago.

Currently I live and work in San Francisco, California. If you happen to be in the area and would like a demonstration of the software, or to get a late afternoon coffee, please feel free to email me.

If you are a musician in the bay area, and interested in playing using loops, please see my music page at www.aaronleese.com .
