AD049 Enso

Audio Damage

Where to get itAvailable from Audio Damageaudiodamage.com

AD049 Enso is a software looper that records and plays back audio in continuous loops, with independent playback and recording speeds that can drift in different directions for experimental effects. Drawing inspiration from tape-based looping systems, it offers four overlapping loop regions (sectors), tape emulation effects, and flexible overdubbing modes that either apply effects cumulatively or preserve the original loop buffer, making it suitable for both live performance and studio composition.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Playback and record speeds from -4.0 to 4.0 with independent direction control and optional linking
02Tape simulator with soft saturation and analog-modeled hiss
03High-pass and low-pass filters (10Hz–1KHz and 1KHz–20KHz respectively)
04Modulated-delay Chorus with independent depth and rate controls
05Two overdub modes: cumulative effects (DUB IN PLACE off) or non-destructive playback (DUB IN PLACE on)
06MIDI Slices mode for note-triggered playback position jumping
07Mode Quantization for metrically precise recording, stopping, and sector transitions

Things to Try

  • 01Enable DUB IN PLACE off to route feedback through effects before re-recording, stacking effects cumulatively on each loop cycle
  • 02Set PLAY SPEED and REC SPEED to different values or directions to create independent motion of playback and record heads within the same loop
  • 03Use MODE QUANTIZE to synchronize mode changes (RECORD, PLAY, STOP) to quarter-note or measure intervals for precise timing in tempo-synced workflows
  • 04Set SECTOR XFADE to a duration significantly longer than the sector itself to blend two sectors together during playback transitions
