UltraKit

One kit draws every WaveLoop app.

The controls, the motion, the cursor and the panels behind our apps on Windows and the Mac. Every picture on this page is drawn by the kit itself.

UltraKit's toolkit, drawn by the kit
ULTRAKIT, the kit's own app: browse your files, hear them in the tall player, mark in and out. It's built only from the parts below.

The parts

Everything an app is made of.

UltraKit's colour, drawn by the kit

Colour

Silver first, one accent per app, and the family set every panel wears.

UltraKit's type, drawn by the kit

Type

A 5×7 pixel face for numbers, Finlandica for titles, mono for the rest.

UltraKit's shape, drawn by the kit

Shape

Square, always: every fill, every control, the window's own buttons.

UltraKit's motion, drawn by the kit

Motion

A press pops and springs back, panels dither in, and reduce motion holds it all still.

UltraKit's cursor, drawn by the kit

Cursor

The cursor tells you what's under it: a control, a surface, text, a drop, a resize.

UltraKit's the gem, drawn by the kit

The gem

The song cursor rides the waveform while it plays and while it records.

UltraKit's xy, drawn by the kit

XY

Drag the stick anywhere; let go and it springs home.

UltraKit's space, drawn by the kit

Space

The deep sky behind the apps, moving with your pointer.

UltraKit's the rig, drawn by the kit

The rig

Every input on one panel: level, mute, pan, a meter, and four scenes to switch setups.

UltraKit's the rack, drawn by the kit

The rack

Tuner, gate, polish, EQ and four plugin slots on every input.

UltraKit's arrange, drawn by the kit

Arrange

Your loops laid out as blocks, lane by lane.

UltraKit's the library, drawn by the kit

The library

Every take in one place, with a tall player to mark in and out.

UltraKit's panes, drawn by the kit

Panes

Square panels that float over the app, or pop out to another screen.

UltraKit's help you can read, drawn by the kit

Help you can read

Notes and manuals laid out properly, with links that open.

UltraKit's training, drawn by the kit

Training

Checklists that tick themselves when you actually do the thing.

Every app

Learn one, know them all.

  • Ctrl+, or Cmd+, opens settings from anywhere.
  • Return takes the playhead back to zero.
  • A lit icon means its panel is open.
  • Side panels dock on the left: library, then routing, then the app.
  • Anything that takes time says what it's doing, with a bar when it can measure it.
  • Close it, open it again and everything is where you left it.

Where you'll find it

Tide, Wake and Layerz ULTRA for Windows are free downloads. Choppa Lite runs right here in the browser.
