APK (Android Package Kit) files are the raw files of an Android app. Learn how to install gauss-field-looper.apk file on your phone in 4 Simple Steps:
Yes. We provide some of the safest Apk download mirrors for getting the Gauss Field Looper apk.
1. Set the length of the tape, record and overdub your audio, play around with tape speeds; Gauss captures the essence of two ends of tape stuck together in all its unsynchronised, free-running glory.
2. Like real tape loops Gauss takes you off the grid of your DAW: you can adjust tape speed and direction, even during recording.
3. For example, recording on low tape speeds will give you longer recording time, but at the cost (or pleasure) of a distinctively lower recording quality.
4. This creative field looper works both standalone and as an Audio Unit effect plugin and puts the possibilities of using looped tapes in your hands.
5. Use overdub, or even multiple instances of the Audio Unit plugin, to create multi-layered ever changing sonic palettes.
6. The flow of your loops will drift organically as the tape follows its own cyclical timeline.
7. So Gauss mimics the behaviour - not the sound - of magnetic tape.
8. Co-designed with Berlin-based electronic musician Hainbach, Gauss brings the oldschool tape-looping art form to mobile devices.
9. We want this app to be a celebration of digital audio technology, so when audio quality is degraded it will do so in a pleasingly crunchy digital way.
10. There's even a unique built-in 4-step polyrhythmic sequencer for sequencing tape-speed changes.
11. Without the need for scissors.

This app is killer as an audio unit in AUM but why is there no simple way to load loops from AudioShare or another method in standalone? If this is some “purist” decision to only serve as a field recorder it’s a bit ridiculous….
You can finally retire your multi tape speed, overdubbable(? Not multitrack, which is fine) dictaphone. Not that you were ever able to synch sequence a magnetic tape or fine tune how much it warbles or the intensity and speed of fluttering (filter cutoff and modulation) and I have never heard an analog tape machine come to an adjustable speed stop so that it may reverse the direction it was traveling without having the capstan blow and pop off into the air like a Russian tank. Like most of these apps, you don’t need much to get started and messing with the provided preset loops will teach you more hands on than any documentation. I’m sure there is a way to improve this little beast, but at the moment I have been using it mostly standalone for a few months and I can’t think of anything that would add to it. Maybe something that would over-complicate it, but nothing to improve it.
Really creative and inspiring little looper, though the inability to load samples in to it is puzzling. When you click on “load a loop” you see demo loops you can play with, while the “user loops” section is blank. However I don’t see anywhere in the app where you can import sound files. I also tried navigating to the Gauss folder in my Android (using the files app) and adding MP3s to the “loop” folder, but that doesn’t make them appear in the app either. Hopefully this is something they add in the future.
This is an absolutely fantastic tape loop emulator. However whenever I plug my phone to an external output, the loops will either no longer play or the control interface just goes blank.
Pretty fun messing with the stock loops and recording simple things with Android mic. I’d like to be able to import loops and samples, mangle them in Gauss and export them. Please add Audioshare for importing and exporting on the next update!
