    Loopino — New Release: Unified Time, Multi-Engine Character &
    Advanced Stretching

This new Loopino release marks a major step forward in timing accuracy, 
tonal consistency, and sampler character. By integrating *librubberband* 
(standing on the shoulders of giants), Loopino now features *unison note 
lengths across the entire keyboard range* — meaning every pitch now 
preserves its rhythmic identity while being played musically across the 
full scale.

In practice, this means:
your micro-loops, slices and textures no longer shrink or stretch 
unpredictably when played higher or lower — they stay locked in musical 
time.

Alongside this, Loopino now introduces *multiple sampler engine 
simulations*. Each engine emulates different playback behaviours, 
interpolation styles and internal timing characteristics inspired by 
classic and modern samplers. This allows you to choose not only /what/ 
you play, but /how/ it behaves — from tight, modern precision to lo-fi, 
characterful vintage motion.

These additions build on Loopino’s already powerful creative toolkit:
drag-and-drop sampling, on-the-fly recording, pitch tracking, micro-loop 
generation, non-destructive wave shaping, multiple analogue-inspired 
filters (Moog, Oberheim, Wasp, TB-303), modulators, vibrato, tremolo, 
chorus & reverb, preset handling, WAV export in key, up to 48-voice 
polyphony, and a highly flexible standalone environment with ALSA 
support and command-line configuration.


      New in this Release

  *

    High-quality time-stretching powered by *librubberband*

  *

    *Unison note lengths across the full keyboard range*

  *

    *Multiple sampler engine simulations* for different playback characters

  *

    Continued performance, stability & workflow refinements

Loopino is no longer just a sampler — it is a time-aware, 
character-selectable, performance-ready instrument that blends sampling, 
synthesis, and musical timing into one creative engine.
