LoopNest — a loop-curation instrument. Curate a folder of loops, spin a random one, shape it through a six-stage lo-fi rack, and hatch a .wav you drag straight onto a track.

Install (macOS, Apple Silicon)

  • VST3 (Ableton, Reaper, Bitwig, Cubase, Studio One …) → ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
  • AU (Logic, GarageBand, MainStage) → ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

Restart your DAW after copying. Bundles are ad-hoc signed (no Developer ID) — if Gatekeeper blocks them, right-click → Open, or:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine LoopNest.vst3 LoopNest.component

Full install notes are in the bundled INSTALL.txt.

Highlights

  • Curate → spin → shape → hatch workflow with an in-plugin drum-loop extractor
  • Six-stage character rack: WARP · FLUTTER · DRIVE · ECHO · REVERB · WIDTH, plus master EQ + dry/wet
  • 12 factory presets, varispeed pitch, trim, and A/B monitor with K-weighted loudness gain-match
  • Monochrome engineering-blueprint UI
