1. Introduction
Application is 64 steps note looper. Notes are either represented musically or treated as bare data for VCS’s audio registers. Users can choose which row they treat as notes (Note Synth) or audio register data (Glitch Synth). There are three variations of Glitch Synth and one Note Synth.

2. Hardware Requirements
- Atari VCS PAL or NTSC Console
- Cartridge: purchase an original cartridge (mail me) or use Uno-2600 or Harmony cartridge for loading custom ROMs
- Left port: Joystick
- Rite port: Keyboard (keypad w/ 12 btns)
In case you don't have an original Atari keypad/keyboard controller (which might break anytime soon, as did mine), check this excellent project by Sven Arweiler for an alternative: JamLoopy Ctrl.

The first batch will be 16 pieces, so don't hesitate to contact me and get on the list to ensure your copy.
If you miss the hardware, you can run this software from Stella's emulator. Just be sure to hit Options for the JamLoopy.ROM and configure in Game Settings\Controller appropriate input controllers:

If you don't see the whole screen's output go to Game Settings/Display:

3. Looper Layout

Tree columns represent (from left to right):
- Synth Selector (2 bits; enter values 1..4 on the keypad)
- Track Two Note/Data (4+1 bits)
- Track One Note/Data (4+1 bits)
The Middle section of the layout displays a replaying cursor and speed indicator pattern.
The right side of the screen is a mirror copy of the left part.
An additional 1 bit for Track1 & 2 is located next to the synth selector column (this bit encodes used instrument set).
