Loops Overview
A loop is a playlist, aka a list of mp3 audio files that will be played sequentially in an infinite loop... i.e. when looper reaches the end of the playlist, it starts over from the beginning.
If you put all your tracks into a single loop, then they are all played sequentially. That's what we get when we make a playlist on our phone. But our modern phone ecosystems are not designed to play local files (i.e. mp3 files that reside on our phone). It is geared towards music subscriptions with their dedicated music apps. It is possible to load your mp3 tracks on your phone and to find an app to create a playlist and it is possible to have some of those apps play that playlist in an infinite loop... BUT it's not easy.... it's actually quite a challenge for most people.
But what about many loops at once? I hear that it is beneficial to play Location repair and Spirit repair in separate loops with a third loop playing the rest of the "loop" processes. How do I do that on my phone? You DON'T! You can do that on a computer by loading the mp3 tracks and opening as many copies of your favorite music player apps as you want loops. And if your computer reboots, automated update, power outage, sleep mode, then the loops stop and you have to restart all those apps manually. What about when I'm in the car or on the plane? You DON'T!
Looper Overview
Looper is a small computer that runs LOOPS
Looper makes creating and playing loops simple, cheap and convenient.
- Loops are directories on a USB stick
- Processes are copied to their loop
- Each directory plays an infinite loop
- Loops are played simultaneously
- Plug the USB stick in looper
- The loops are copied on Looper
- Remove the stick &ammp Looper remembers them.
(until you insert a USB stick with different loops, then looper reads the new ones) - If the power goes out, It resumes looping when the power comes back!

Creating Custom Processes
Your own prayers, on repeat!
Some people are recording their own Prayers / Mantras / Angelic requests and looping them using LOOPER. For looper, all mp3 files are the same. You just need to know how to create an mp3 file. You can do that with professional recording devices or a computer with recording software. But most people just use their phone phone to record their voice, then just send an email of the recorded track. Looper only supports mp3 audio format. If your voice recording is in .m4a format, you can convert it with a free service on a website listed below. Here are some recommended softwares.
- On an Iphone (or Ipad):
- Voice recorder - Voz (FREE, Native MP3, share via email)
- Voice recorder - Voz PRO (I dont know the difference w non-pro version!)
- On Android:
- ASR (FREE, Native MP3, share via email)
- LOOPER only supports the MP3 format. If your recording software produced a m4a file, convert it to MP3 before putting it on the USB stick:
- What is the maximum number of loops you can run at the same time on Looper?
-
Looper can currently support up to 7 loops at once.
If you create more than 7 loops, Looper will give you an audio warning upon starting and will just ignore any loop above 7. If you need more, let us know and we will figure out the necessary software or hardware changes needed to increase the number of loops.
- Does looper support M4A, AAC or WAV files?
-
NO. Looper only supports MP3 audio format. IF you have a file in another audio format that you would like to use, first convert it to MP3 using this FreeConvert.com conversion service
- Do I need to have the earbuds plugged in?
-
That's a question between you and the angels. Personally, I prefer to have my earbuds connected at all times so I can hear the whisper of the processes if I am clcose to the looper. I also like having a powered speaker with a volume knob so I can turn it up and listen to the processes once in a while. Here is my favorite budget speaker: computer speaker on Amazon
- Can I use Looper in the car?
-
YES! - The "Shop" page has a car power adapter for your looper. You can also use your own or the built-in USB port in your car as long as it can produce 2.4A output and have a micro-usb cable to connect into your Looper.
- Can I take my looper out and about?
-
YES! - The "Shop" page has some batteries that will keep your Looper going for 6-24h of independence! You can use your own as long as the battery can output 12W at 5V and you have a cable with a micro USB connector to plug into the Looper.
- I have a battery / car adapter, where can I get the right cable?
-
The "Shop" page has some cables with a micro-USB connector at one end and some common connectors at the other end. You can also look for a cable on Amazon.
- I broke my earbuds, where can I get new ones?
-
You need a 3.5mm (1/8") stereo earbuds, preferably without microphone. There are 3 types of 3.5mm connectors as illustrated below. Ieally you would use the TRS with 3 poles. But the TRRS with 4 poles will also work.
Here are a some models available on Amazon:
