MOL _ MIDI Organic Looper

MOL is a simple MIDI looper which does not aim to work like standard sequenced loopers.

It just takes what you play and, once it recognizes a repetition, it plays.

This is just a preliminary release, might not work at all ;)

Features

• Simple enough (well, sort of...)
• Automatically connects and receive MIDI events from any ALSA MIDI source
• Connect to specific port types (hardware/software) or custom ports using regular expressions
• Black list input ports by name or id (also with regular expressions)
• Repetitions are recognized with a configurable time threshold
• Loop is played to the ports the source is already connected to
• Remote control enable/disable through custom MIDI events
• Send custom MIDI events to specific devices to notify current status
• Send custom MIDI events when stopping a loop
• Event filtering

Requirements

• Python 2.7
• PyQt4 at least version 4.11.1
• pyalsa

Usage

There is not an installation procedure yet, just run the script in the main repository directory:

$ ./moloop

After that, MOL will be in your system tray, from there you can enable/disable event listening, quit MOL or stop a playing loop (this will reset the buffer, and MOL will be ready to listen to a new loop).

Future

• "ignoring" repeated notes within a period of time, to avoid unwanted detection of smaller loops
• JACK support?
