- Loupé has 99 memory slots (50 factory, 49 user) called Games.
- Each Game contains a switch configuration and global parameter settings.
- The five footswitches on the pedal correspond to the five LEDS which are the basic looping functions.
- These are labelled on the pedal. However, any function can be assigned to any switch (footswitch or tactswitch) in either toggle or sustain mode and be stored in a Game in one of the 49 user slots.
- Games can be copied from one slot to another, allowing you to create Game variants for dope live performance.

- LPF: Low-pass filter (20hz – 5khz)
- HPF: High-pass filter (500hz – 24khz)
- ForceDry: Distinct mode suited to looping with continuous sources (radio, video…)
- Exp: Choose between three modes for the expression pedal (Feedback, Swell1, Swell2)

what’s new ?
Lfo
is a collection of 100 different 16-step sequences. The number of steps can be changed, as can the step which the LFO starts on.
The LFO rate can be set as a rhythmic subdivision (x16 to /192), unsynchronized speed values in Hz, or audio frequencies which produce distinct musical pitches.
Glide
controls how quickly the Loupe moves from one pitch to another. With Glide at 0, the pitch change is immediate.
With a value above 0, Glide introduces an audible shifting/sliding between pitches, rather than an instant transition. The higher the Glide value, the longer it takes to transition from one pitch to another.
HalfDub
cuts the loop playback to half speed and enables overdubbing.
Pressing HalfDub a second time closes Overdub, and returns to regular speed.
Any overdubs made in half speed will play back one octave higher/twice as fast.
Revins
at first listen, seems to behave like a normal Reverse effect: press it once, and the loop plays backwards. Press it a second time, and it plays forwards again.
But Revins actually records the entire “play in reverse, then play forwards again” process, up to the point where the effect was initially engaged, and then inserts that recording into the loop.
Habit & Rabit
deal with moving the Loupe’s “play head” to different parts of the loop. When engaged, they offset the playhead by specific, fixed amounts, and maintain that offset until the effect is turned off.
With Habit, this manifests as moving back to specific points in the loop’s memory.
With Rabit, the entire loop is displaced by a particular rhythmic value.
Scroll /B /Q
quantizes each turn of the Scroll encoder, so that playback windows change at rhythmically precise values.
Record /B /Q
are ways of leaving a current loop and immediately recording a new loop, while retaining the length/timing of the previous loop.
