Eight months ago, we built 90% of a great tremolo. We codenamed it “Good Tremolo,” gave it a clandestine cameo in our YouTube stream, and outfitted its control surface with what we feel is the most intuitive interface for controlling a tremolo’s shape and speed.

But when it rains it pours, and we ended up focusing first on Faraday Limiter, then on Panpot. Often we’d get inquisitive emails — when are you releasing that tremolo I saw on YouTube?? — and we even sent alpha builds to a few brave souls, but the tremolo simmered on the backburner.

Until last month.

About a month ago, Canadian composer-producer-performer Justin Delorme sent us an email. He’d been using our plugins in his work (beautiful, cinematic tracks), and he wanted to let us know.[^let]

After reading his email, a eureka moment: maybe Justin would be interested in assembling a set of loops for Fourloops?

We at Goodhertz recently launched something we call Fourloops, a small web-based looping machine. “Four-” because there are always four distinct tracks, and “-loops” because each track is the exact same length, and loops endlessly.
