Early Access Note

Boomerang is being released early so musicians can experiment with it now and help shape the v1.0 release. Early adopters get immediate access + all upcoming improvements at no extra cost.

Background

Way back when, I had an original Boomerang+ Phrase Sampler. Before it was cool; chiefly inspired by Trey Anastasio's use of one.

The Boomerang is a special device because, in my opinion, it represents the perfect combination of simplicity and power.

It epitomizes the way of "Perfect is not when there is nothing more to add; rather, it is when there is nothing more to take away."

There aren't any close emulations in plugin-land. Every other looper plugin on the market is too complicated. So I had to create my own.

To that end, I set about figuring out how to create a plugin that perfectly emulates the unique layout and behavior of this singular piece of gear.

It's done with love and reverence for the creators and keepers of the original device, and I have reached out to them for approval/partnership.

Design Approach

My intention is to use the manual very much as a requirements document; to code this plugin to behave as close to the physical original as I can, with my limited time and knowledge of the programming domain of this code.

In the future, it could be considered to add features or modify the behavior in ways that may show themselves to be useful. For now, I am not thinking too much about improvements.

Update Nov-15-2025

After determining that it's impossible to programmatically update the state of an input toggle in Plug n' Script, I used CoPilot/Claude to port the whole thing over to JUCE. Juce is a more established framework and is more flexible. So it'll be a minute to wrap my head around the port and the new framework, and then i should be on my way to finishing v1 of this thing!
