Hardware Multitrack Sound Design Tool

US Puremagnetik introduces LAPS 09/12/24

Puremagnetik has released LAPS, which they describe as multitrack collage machine and a venture into hardware development bringing their software plugins out of the digital realm and into the physical world. This what they have to say about it...

With the launch of LAPS, a versatile multitrack collage machine, we're connecting the flexibility of our tools with the immediacy of hands-on sound production.

LAPS: A Multitrack Sound Design Tool
LAPS is a compact multitrack machine designed for layering soundscapes, crafting tape-style overdubs, and creating intricate sonic collages. Ideal for everything from glitchy loops to expansive, multi-layered recordings, LAPS offers a trove of creative possibilities.

Features at a Glance:

• 3 tracks (Laps) with up to 20 seconds of stereo recording each at 24-bit/48kHz.

• Two modes: Replica (mirrored layers for melodic shifts) and Multiply (endless layering without erasing).

• Stepped pitch shifting, band-pass filters, granular effects, and a tape-style "Age" effect.

• Stereo in/out with on-board panning, true bypass, and high-quality A/D/A converters.

Designed for Sound Explorers
LAPS draws inspiration from Puremagnetik's Small Winters - a plugin built in collaboration with sound artist and 12k label manager Taylor Deupree. LAPS takes the concept beyond the digital realm with enhanced features and physical functionality.
