Usage Example

import { LooperApp, defaultConfig } from 'looper-app-project';

// Initialize the app
const app = new LooperApp(defaultConfig);
await app.initialize();

// Create a project
const projectManager = app.getProjectManager();
const project = projectManager.createProject('My Beat');

// Configure and trigger a pad
const audioEngine = app.getAudioEngine();
audioEngine.configurePad('pad-0', {
  id: 'pad-0',
  soundId: 'kick-01',
  volume: 0.8,
  pitch: 0,
  playbackMode: 'one_shot',
  pan: 0,
  effects: []
});

audioEngine.triggerPad('pad-0', { quantize: true });

📖 Documentation

🏗️ Architecture Highlights

  • Modular Design: Clean separation between audio engine, UI, and services
  • Platform Agnostic: Core works in browsers, React Native, and Electron
  • Type Safe: Full TypeScript coverage
  • Performance First: Audio isolated from UI thread, optimized for real-time
  • Scalable: Easy to add features, sound packs, and effects

🎯 Key Design Principles

  1. Low Latency Audio: Optimized for real-time performance
  2. Separation of Concerns: Audio engine completely isolated from UI
  3. Modular Architecture: Add features without touching core
  4. Type Safety: TypeScript throughout for reliability
  5. Clean Code: Readable, maintainable, well-documented

🔧 Technology Stack

  • Frontend: React 18, TypeScript 5
  • Audio: Web Audio API
  • Architecture: Modular, service-oriented
  • Platforms: Web, React Native (planned), Electron (planned)

🚧 Roadmap

  • Effects expansion (reverb, delay, distortion, etc.)
  • Arrangement view with timeline
  • MIDI controller support
  • Real-time collaboration
  • AI-powered sound generation
  • Mobile apps (iOS/Android)
  • Desktop apps (macOS/Windows/Linux)
  • Live performance mode
