![]() The step length used to loop the overall 16–step sequence can be half, quarter or one–eighth of a bar, meaning that the 16–step pattern runs for eight, four or two bars respectively. The effects can be programmed into a multi–lane, step–based editor and, as in Effectrix, can be synchronised to your host DAW during playback. ![]() Each step can be treated to a different set of effects from an armoury that includes filters, stutters, slices, distortion, tape stops, volume modulation and looping, all similar in nature to the effects found in both Effectrix and Turnado. In essence, Looperator takes incoming audio, chops it into steps and runs it through an effects processor controlled by a 16–step sequencer. The latest release, and the subject of this review, is Looperator, which takes some ideas from Effectrix and marries them up with elements of the loop and beat–slicing found in another Sugar Bytes plug–in, Egoist. SOS have already reviewed a number of their tools for doing just that, most obviously Effectrix (March 2009) and Turnado (December 2013). If you are a fan of weird, wonderful, glitchy and generally ‘out–there’ audio effects that can spice up even the most mundane of sound sources, you may well already be familiar with the Sugar Bytes brand. If your loops lack flavour, Sugar Bytes’ innovative slicing plug–in might be just the special sauce they need!
