Control that stays out of the way

ML1 gives you exactly the control you need during performance — nothing more. Visual feedback when you need it, invisible when you don't. Every feature is designed to be used while playing.

Control interface

Visual precision

See your loops as they play. Progress bars show exactly where you are in each loop, making it easy to anticipate changes and nail your timing.

Loop progress indicators

Loop progress

Dark gray progress bars move smoothly across each loop. Subtle enough to ignore, clear enough to follow. No flashy animations, just useful information.

Recording feedback display

Recording feedback

A pulsing record indicator shows armed status. During recording, see your waveform build in real-time. Know exactly when your loop will close.

Timing your way

Free timing

Record loops of any length. Create polyrhythmic patterns naturally — let a 3-bar phrase play against a 4-bar groove. The magic happens in the overlap.

Free timing loops

Lock mode

When you need synchronization, engage lock mode. New loops automatically match the length of your first loop. Perfect for building verse-chorus patterns and structured compositions.

Synchronized loops

Live performance features

These aren't studio tools — they're performance controls designed for real-time manipulation:

Random jump control

Random jump

Instantly jump to a random position in any loop. Create glitch effects, break patterns, add surprise. One tap transforms predictable into unexpected.

Reverse playback control

Reverse playback

Flip any loop backwards while others play forward. Instant atmosphere, no CPU-heavy effects needed. Toggle on and off for dynamic transitions.

Volume control sliders

Individual volume

Mix your loops live. Fade elements in and out, create dynamics, respond to the moment. Large touch targets work reliably during performance.

Interface that performs

Every element is sized and positioned for live use. No tiny buttons, no complex menus. Touch targets you can hit while playing. Visual hierarchy that makes sense at a glance.

Large control interface

Large, clearly labeled controls respond instantly

Clean typography

Clean typography ensures readability on stage

Precision without complexity

ML1's controls are precise because they do one thing well. No modulation matrices, no automation lanes, no parameter mapping. Just immediate, musical control over your loops.

This is control designed for musicians who perform, not engineers who program. Every feature earns its place by being useful in the moment of creation.
