I love new stuff, especially new software. If you want to kill a useless feature, kill LoopMash FX in favor of its actually useful, full featured, creativity machine LoopMash VSTi.

It was the closest thing to artificial intelligence for experimental music Steinberg had - that no one else had. Lots of granular synths exist out there but nothing could chop, glitch, mix, flow, and surprise like LoopMash VSTi with its eight ‘tracks’ at once to granulize and build the most amazing, unmatchable, surprising ideas to take us off in directions we never would have thought of or stumbled across without LoopMash VSTi.īring it back Yamaha/Steinberg - whatever it takes, bring back the LoopMash VSTi. Halion 6, Padshop2, and Backbone do not replace it. It seems as though we are being funneled and restricted toward movie, TV commercial, and anthem musak but losing the ability to do experimental sound design with fascinating tools that inspire it with truly novel ideas and structures the way LoopMash did. I don’t know, nor do I care what it would take to get LoopMash VSTi back for Nuendo 12 and going forward, but had I known I would lose access to my favorite inspirational VSTi, I would never have locked myself into another Cubase/Nuendo upgrade after such an unannounced reduction in features. The features of the instrument inspired massive creativity for those of us who use near-chaos to get ideas for experimental works.

There is no other third party VSTi available to match, or come close to LoopMash on the market, and LoopMash FX cannot do what LoopMash VST instrument does. Nuendo 12 bring back LoopMash VST Instrument not just LoopMash FX.
