miniloop is a simple live looping program. It can load a number of stereo audio loops of equal length from the disk and loop them in sync with each other, sending each loop to a different pair of JACK audio outputs. These outputs are intended to be subsequently fed into an external software mixer, such as Ardour. For live performance, you will want to control the mixer using a MIDI control surface. miniloop is similar in intent to Stephen Sinclair's LoopDub. I actually created miniloop to explore some design ideas that I had while working on LoopDub. Given that, it is appropriate to provide a comparison between the two programs. The most important difference is that LoopDub uses a built-in mixer, while miniloop uses an external mixer. This means that miniloop is more flexible, but requires a more complex software setup. Another important difference is the user interface, which is radically different, and, I hope, somewhat easier to use. Finally, LoopDub has many features that miniloop lacks; miniloop is currently quite small (~500 SLOC) and quite feature-poor, and I intend to keep it that way.
