Sloop is a clock synchronized looper that allows you to record audio or CV precisely on the beat. Besides being a recorder, it is also a flexible playback tool that can be used to slice audio and playback those slices in time.

The base unit Sloop is available on the insert menu along with 4 presets:

Preset	Description
Sloop (5s)	Create a sloop with a 5 second buffer.
Sloop (10s)	Create a sloop with a 10 second buffer.
Sloop (15s)	Create a sloop with a 15 second buffer.
Sloop Delay (2s)	Create a sloop with a 2 second buffer, configured as a tape delay / freeze.

Using Sloop

To get started using Sloop it's easiest to pick one of the presets with a pre-configured buffer. Once the unit is created you'll be presented with the main unit view:

This view shows the four most common controls that you'll need to start slooping. In order to get anything done though, you'll first need to connect a clock signal to the clock input.
