[LAD] Loopino — New Release: v0.1.0

**Loopino — New Release: Expressive Control, Classic Filters, and 
Improved Standalone Support**


This new Loopino release focuses on expressiveness, classic 
analogue-inspired sound shaping, and a more powerful standalone 
experience. With newly added Pitch Wheel support, Loopino now responds 
more like a real instrument, enabling expressive bends, subtle detuning, 
and dynamic performance gestures via MIDI.

Sound design has been expanded with the addition of an Oberheim-style 
filter, complementing the existing Moog-style ladder filter. Together, 
they offer two distinct analogue flavours for sculpting everything from 
smooth pads to aggressive textures. Velocity-dependent dynamic controls 
allow envelopes, filters, and modulation depth to react naturally to 
playing intensity, bringing Loopino even closer to a 
performance-oriented sampler-synth hybrid.

To enrich spatial depth and movement, this release introduces an 
integrated Chorus and Reverb, making it possible to create wide, lush, 
and immersive sounds directly inside Loopino—no external effects required.

For standalone users, native ALSA audio and MIDI support has been added, 
improving stability, latency, and system integration on Linux.

Alongside these additions, Loopino continues to offer its core feature 
set: drag-and-drop sample loading, on-the-fly recording, pitch tracking, 
a powerful Micro Loop Generator with selectable loop count and duration, 
non-destructive wave shaping (square & saw), LP/HP ladder filtering, 
phase modulators (sine, triangle, noise, Juno-style), vibrato, tremolo, 
root frequency control, preset handling, WAV export in the selected key, 
and up to 48 voices of polyphony.

**Highlights of this Release**

- MIDI Pitch Wheel support for expressive performance
- New Oberheim-style filter
- Velocity-based dynamic modulation controls
- Integrated Chorus and Reverb effects
- ALSA audio & MIDI support for the standalone version
- Continued improvements to stability, workflow, and sound quality

Loopino keeps evolving into a flexible, expressive instrument that 
bridges sampling, synthesis, and performance—designed for sound 
designers, experimental musicians, and anyone who enjoys turning raw 
audio into playable instruments.
