Today WAVEFORMS released Loop Twister, a nice little Loop mashing app. This surprisingly easy to use app will have you quickly destroying and remixing loops with 8 DSP effects, as well as high and low-pass filters and a repeater.

It comes with 32 loops, which can be assigned to A and B loop decks. These loop decks can then be played together or mixed with a cross-fader. Importing your own loops is possible, but somewhat tricky; requiring iTunes file-sharing instead of a simple audio paste. Exporting is much easier, and supports General Pasteboard, but performances cannot be recorded so you are limited to whatever you've sequenced in the 16-step patterns.

I am disappointed that performances can't be recorded. It is a lot of fun to fool around with this live. It does a great job of the export though, keeping the rendered loops clean, despite all of the crazy you might have layered on to them. This makes them easy to import into just about anything else, though you may need Hokusai if the app you want to import them into only supports Audio Copy/Paste. I found the exported loops fit perfectly into Loopy, without any need to fool around with them at all.

I would go so far as to adamantly recommend this to anyone who already has Loopy HD, as this is a simple way to create some new loops. The reverse is also true; for anyone who likes this style of glitchy beats you should seriously consider grabbing Loopy with this so that you can record live performances.

Here is a little example of 3 loops I made in Loop Twister, along with a little drum loop from iElectribe, all being mixed live in Loopy HD.
