FIELD KIT Playback Engine

Turn recorded sound into overlapping loops, textures and modulated playback.

Our take

Good for musicians exploring long field recordings

Four independent windows can take different directions/speeds through the same source.

Keep in mind: It is an experimental playback instrument rather than a complete DAW; host transport/channel behavior depends on compatible AUv3 software.

What you can do

  • Four playback windows with crossfade
  • Per-window effects and three modulators
  • Standalone recording, AUv3 and .fieldkit projects

Good for

  • Sound designers building layered ambient/rhythmic material

Consider alternatives for

  • A full linear recording/mixing workstation

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • It is an experimental playback instrument rather than a complete DAW; host transport/channel behavior depends on compatible AUv3 software.

Privacy & permissions

Imported recordings and shared projects can contain private conversations or licensed sound; use authorized audio and choose export/host destinations deliberately.
