SLGUI(1)

📦 version 1.7.8, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing

💖 SLGUI — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, you opened slgui(1) (section 1, User Commands, if we're being precise 💅) and honestly? this is the one that puts the face on your looper. let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

slgui — the SooperLooper user interface. that's it, that's the whole job: it's the pretty window, the vibes, the clicky-clicky that talks to the engine underneath. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

slgui [-h] [-V] [-l <num>] [-c <num>] [-t <num>] [-H <str>] [-P <num>]
[-m <str>] [-L <str>] [-s] [-N] [-E <str>] [-J <str>] [-S <str>] [-T]
[-n]

(and yeah, slgui --help shows the same thing, just with fewer line breaks 💀)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

SooperLooper is a live looping sampler that can do immediate loop recording, overdubbing, multiplying, reversing, and more. and "and more" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there, because it genuinely does a lot. ✨

It lets you have multiple simultaneous multi-channel loops, and the only limit is your computer's available memory. that's right — the ceiling here is your RAM, not the software. main character energy fr. 👑
