A companion for the compositions you buy. Press FLIP for a new take on the music, keep the one your ear likes, and make it yours.
You buy compositions because they're beautiful: music made for sampling, royalty-free, nothing to worry about (like ours).
FLIP finds new ways to flip them. Every press is a different flip, so the same composition can take you somewhere new every time.
The music stays beautiful.
Your flip stays yours.
This is Composition B, one of ours. Play it as we wrote it, then hear six different flips of it.
Each colour is a bar of Composition B, so you can see where every part of a flip comes from. All six play in an 80 BPM session.
FLIP runs on our own flip engine.
Every flip profile is how we flip, as rules.
FLIP works from where its hits land and its bars fall.
Keep what moves you.
FLIP works best with contemporary, original music made for sampling (especially ours). Drop one in, press as many times as you like, and keep the flips that move you.
A helper at your side.
Never a hand on your pads.
One you've bought. FLIP reads its tempo and key from the name, or you tell it.
Each press is a new flip with a new way round, in time with your session. Not every one will move you, so keep pressing. There's no limit.
Drag the flip onto a track. Chop it again, rearrange it, put your drums under it. That part's all you.
FLIP is one big button and a few small ones. The big one gives you a new take. The small ones let you steer it where you want it.
TURN 4 gives the ending something new: a new flip of the last bar, a reverse, a filter or a sweep into the one. TURN 2 changes just the turn halfway through. Everything else stays as you liked it.
Reverse plays the flip's first beat backwards as the loop comes round, so it swells into the one. Filter rolls off the lows and highs, the way a sample sits under drums. Use one, both or neither.
Turn them on and off while it plays.
Seven semitones either way. The key moves and FLIP shows you where it landed. The tempo stays exactly where your session is.
Every flip plays at your session's tempo. When half or double time suits the composition better, FLIP plays it that way, so a slow, soulful composition never gets dragged to 140.
Heart the flips you like and they wait in the tray, saved with your project. Click one to bring it back. If you went a press too far, Back takes you to the last one.
Press FLIP, heart the ones you like, click the tray to bring one back.
Turn FX on and some presses come with an effect: Shimmer, Blown, Radio, Deep Dip and more. Keep the ones that suit your flip, or turn FX off for a clean one.
When one's a keeper, drag it onto a track. It lands as audio, at your tempo, named with the composition, the flip, the BPM and the key. Then it's yours to chop again.
Drop a composition onto FLIP. If its name gives the tempo and key, it's ready. If not, FLIP asks. It won't flip on a guess: type the BPM, and the key if you know it.

Every update to FLIP is free, forever. When there's a new version, FLIP tells you, and you download it from your account.
A plugin that finds new ways to flip the compositions you buy. Drop in a composition, press FLIP, and you get a flip in one of our flip profiles. Keep what moves you, drag it into your session, and build the beat your way.
Looplair. We make compositions for producers, and we run Soul Sample Club and CHOP'D. FLIP is built from the way we flip our own compositions, and a real person here answers every email.
No. FLIP is a flip engine built from the ground up by Looplair. Each flip profile is our own way of chopping, written down as rules. The engine works only with the composition you drop in.
No. It gives you a flip of a composition: a starting point. The drums, the arrangement and everything that makes it a beat are yours.
Keep chopping. FLIP isn't meant to replace chopping; it's a companion. Use it when you want another way into a composition: a flip you might not have reached, to react to, edit, or throw away.
Yes. If you've already chopped your own flip, use FLIP for the breakdown, the bridge, the switch-up or the intro: the section that takes the beat somewhere else.
It's made for compositions: contemporary, original music made for sampling. We didn't design it for old records, and digging and chopping those yourself is a craft we'd never want to replace.
It's very, very unlikely. There are countless ways into a composition: every press pulls from different parts of it and puts them together a different way, so even two producers with the same composition end up with different flips.
No. Press as many times as you like.
Different ways of flipping: Bounce, Roll, Drift and Space. More flip profiles are coming in future updates, free.
They're optional. Turn FX on and some presses come with an effect, like Shimmer or Radio. Turn it off and every flip is clean.
Never. Every flip plays at your session's tempo, and when a flip moves the pitch, the tempo stays put.
Drag them straight out of FLIP as audio. Your kept flips stay in a tray, ready to drag. MIDI drag-out is coming in a future update, free.
