LoopMash — Appsolutely Addictive!
Please note that we will phase out LoopMash Free, LoopMash and LoopMash HD. As a courtesy to our customers, the apps will remain available in the Apple App Store until January 8, 2018.
LoopMash is an innovative virtual instrument that presents you with a new way to blend simultaneously up to four two-bar loops together by juggling similar elements across looped beats and tunes. Now ported to the iOS platform, this sizzling hot instrument lets you choose from over 40 presets and 250 included loops ranging all the way from ethno to disco.
Based on a technology introduced by Yamaha, LoopMash is a stripped-down version of the popular LoopMash virtual instrument featured in Cubase 6. Quality content, intuitive control and 3-D navigation for effortless page browsing make this app a must-have for party-goers, music aficionados and pretty much everyone in between.

Play your stuff
LoopMash ships with over 40 factory presets to get you started immediately. The preset management is really easy to use: each preset can store up to eight scenes, and each scene can contain different loops, effects, similarity values, volumes, tempos and settings. Use the pads to save and trigger your scenes. And with an unlimited number of user presets, there are simply endless possibilities at your fingertips!
Welcome to the slice matrix
At the heart of LoopMash is the Slice Matrix page showing four tracks — each two bars long. Make any of the four tracks your master track and the other tracks will follow the assigned track. The Slice Matrix includes basic playback functions such as start/stop and tempo control. There’s also access to the help page in the upper left-hand corner. The Settings page provides powerful key controls for performance tweaks, such as Number of Voices, Selection Grid, Selection Offset and Staccato.
Swift 3-D page navigation
LoopMash features a new and intuitive form of navigating through the app’s pages. Not only is the slice matrix shown in a three-dimensional manner on the adjacent pages, but arrows are displayed on each page in order for you to swipe effortlessly from one page to another.
Exchange presets
With this update you can even exchange your presets with friends. It’s so simple — just connect your iPhone or iPod to iTunes, click on the left menu on your device, and then click on the top menu on "Apps". Scroll down to the "Apps" section and select LoopMash. You will find all your presets on the right window. Click on "Save to..." to store your presets to your computer. If you want to load presets from a friend, simply click on the "Add..." button.
New in version 1.3: Audiobus support
Audiobus is an innovative iOS protocol that offers realtime audio streaming between multiple apps. Now, you can use LoopMash and record the audio output signal directly in Cubasis or other apps.
Before sending the audio signal to Cubasis, you can even route it to another app and use that app as an effect processor — there are plenty of possibilities!
