SOLO brings quick and easy loop control and manipulation to every VST2 host. Although many programs read REX files or ACIDized WAVs they are sometimes a little inelegant, slow or simply don't give you the level of control you require. These 'sliced' loops offer so many amazing advantages everyone should be using them regardless of which sequencer you use. SOLO let's everyone 'join the party' without having to change your sequencer!

SOLO allows you to control loops in two basic ways. You can load loops and trigger them in sync with you host an octave either side of their original pitch or turn off the loop and either play the slices manually or export a MIDI file to your host sequencer to play the loop for you. This method allows you to edit the loop in any way you desire on your favourite sequencer - a really quick and easy way to work if you like to add fills to loops on the fly for example. Beyond that you can use SOLO's powerful filters to twist your loop into whatever shape you want. You can also control everything in real-time using MIDI. In summary SOLO is simple yet powerful, sounds great and works the way you want it to - it also offers you a glimpse of what ONE has in store for you later this year too.
