Loophole MIDI Sampler
Loophole
Loophole is a MIDI-triggered loop sampler built for producers who want hands-on, playable control over loop-based material rather than static drag-and-drop playback.
Instead of treating loops as fixed audio blocks, Loophole lets you perform them dynamically, slicing and re-triggering sections in real time using MIDI notes.
Designed for rhythmic experimentation, variation, and live-style arrangement, Loophole turns loop libraries into instruments, making it particularly useful for electronic music, beat-driven genres, and hybrid workflows that blend MIDI sequencing with audio loops.
System Requirements:
- 32-bit
- 64-bit
- VST 3 / AU
- Windows
- MacOs
MIDI-Controlled Loop Performance
At the heart of Loophole is a simple but powerful idea: load up to four loops, divide them into playable sections, and trigger those sections directly from a MIDI controller or piano roll.
Each MIDI note corresponds to a specific section of a loop, allowing you to jump between parts, layer multiple loops, or rapidly switch rhythmic patterns without stopping playback.
This approach makes Loophole ideal for mashing up different loop styles, adding variation to repetitive grooves, or improvising arrangements on the fly.
A dedicated random trigger mode can also be used to fire unpredictable sections, introducing controlled chaos into drum patterns, textures, or glitch-style edits.
Visual Feedback and Flexible Routing
Loophole provides a clear visual display showing loop waveforms, playback position, and currently triggered sections, making it easy to understand exactly what’s happening rhythmically at any moment.
Each loop can be tempo-synced to the host by defining its length in beats, allowing for stretching, tight sync, or creative mismatches between loops of different lengths.
For more advanced mixing and sound design, the multi-output version allows each loop to be routed to its own DAW channel.
This makes it easy to apply separate processing such as compression, saturation, filtering, or spatial effects per loop. Per-loop envelopes allow smooth fades, declicking, or gated-style shaping without relying on external plugins.

FAQ
Loophole treats loops as performance material, allowing you to trigger specific sections via MIDI rather than playing loops linearly from start to finish.
Yes. MIDI triggering, random section playback, and instant switching between loop segments make it well suited for live sequencing and performance-style workflows.
Loops are synced by defining their length in beats, allowing them to lock to the host tempo while retaining flexibility for creative timing differences.
It’s particularly effective for electronic, drum and bass, hip hop, breakbeat, glitch, house, and experimental genres, but can be applied to any loop-based material.
Yes. The multi-output version allows each loop to be routed to its own DAW channel for independent effects processing and mixing.
