MMP is an original multi loop player. It allows to synchronize 4 sample loops and to control the drift between the loops. Inspired by Steve Reich's music work who used to trigger a few musical patterns together and to make it gradually move out of synchronization with each other, it creates effects from phasing to polyrythmics. MMP is licenced as freeware and work in any VST compatible application.
