Leploop V3

Imagine capturing melodies on capacitors that slowly degrade over time, creating evolving loops you'll never quite repeat—the hallmark of this Italian groovebox's analog sequencer.

It packs two VCOs into a compact desktop frame: one switching between triangle and square waves, the other delivering sawtooth with ring mod and FM from sources like VCO1, Env1, or LFO. A diode ladder lowpass filter at 24dB/oct shapes everything, fed by white noise, a distorted kick drum, and a four-channel mixer, all driven by two AR envelopes, dual VCAs with linear/exponential modes, and a versatile LFO offering sine, triangle, or square waves plus offset for wild pitch ranges. Hands-on controls include selector switches for modulation routing, a 16-step capacitor sequencer (routable to pitch or cutoff), four 64-step digital rhythm tracks, and extensive I/O like MIDI in, CV/gate/clock ports, USB, external audio in, and separate 1/4" mix and kick outputs. Housed in a sleek 3D-printed Nylon PA12 black case or optional handmade cedar wood, it runs on 15V DC and syncs easily with other gear.

Players love its raw, aggressive tone for live electronic jams, praising the tactile sequencing and patch-point flexibility that sparks endless experimentation, though some note the monophonic voice keeps things focused rather than expansive.
