Instruō

Dual-channel looper inspired by tape techniques. Each channel records up to 10 minutes of audio, with overdubbing, varispeed playback, multiple playheads, 1V/Oct pitch control, feedback path between decks, and a capacitive touch tape reel for flange and stall effects. Includes a 2HP passive CV expansion module.301

Capabilities 3

Looperlooper
Dual-channel looper with up to 10 minutes per deck, overdubbing, varispeed, multiple playheads, feedback path between decks, and tape emulation.301
Tape Emulationtape-emulation
Analogue input circuit adds slight compression, filtering and saturation; re-recording compounds the effect for tape-like textures.301
Varispeed Recordingvarispeed
Speed knob provides varispeed playback from 4x reverse to 4x forward, with 1V/Oct CV support for pitch-accurate playback.301

NameTypeRangeBehavior
Auxiliary Input Crossfadefader—301
Auxiliary Output Crossfadefader—301
Capacitive Tape Reel Switchswitch—301
Capacitive Tape Reel Trimmerknob—Accessed via the front panel. Calibrates the sensitivity of the Capacitive Tape Reel touch plate.301
Input Levelknob—Sets the level of the signal at the Input. Centre position is unity gain. Beyond centre adds gain. High signal levels experience analogue limiting and saturation.301
Lengthknob—Controls how much of the loop plays before resetting to start. Fully CW plays the entire loop. Fully CCW creates a minimal loop for wavetable-esque sounds. Can be quantised to loop divisions.301
Output Levelknob—301
Pre/Post Output Level Switchswitch—301
Speedknob—Sets playback rate. Fully CW = 4x speed forward. Fully CCW = 4x speed reversed. Centre = stalled. Half speed lowers pitch one octave. Also controls 1V/Oct pitch via Speed CV Input.301
Startknob—Sets the start position of the loop. CCW = beginning, CW = end of the loop. Can be quantised to loop divisions.301
Timeknob—In Clock Divisions mode: sets clock triggers per loop (1–64). In Dub Level mode: sets overdub feedback level. In User-Definable mode: controls parameters like Crossfade Duration, Tape Emulation Amount, and Speed Slew. Available multiplication factors: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,16,24,32,64.301
