a lil status update on my live looping app, ursund

hi y'all
thanks for being here!
I wanted to share a little status update with you on where my live looper app is at and where it’s going at the moment.
The last couple of months I've been continuing to work steadily on ursund, adding among others the radial menu seen in the video above, many stability improvements and bugfixings, better midi mappings, and continued work on making the phone version better. I started working on the iPhone/iPad version too which seems to not be as big a hassle as I first imagined but there's still a ways to go.
I've also played a bunch of shows using just the looper and my voice, so far without any lags or issues!
At the moment I am doing a pretty large refactoring of the internal audio engine code, to make it more versatile and allow for cooler musical things to be possible in the future.
The main thing I am doing this for is to allow for a concept of audio send channels, and integrate that on a per-loop basis.
What this means practically is that every lil loop could have its own relationship to the effects. I.e For each loop you could choose the distortion level, and have it apply only to that loop. Later I will also add a generative morphing feature, where the effect levels drift by themself for each loop. Always changing and evolving into something new. Always repeating but never quite the same!
It will probably be another couple weeks before I have a new version to publish for you all. In the meantime please continue to write me ideas and improvements!
The latest public version is still available to download for free here:

And here’s a little video tutorial I made on how to get started using it
