Mission Control: Run Multiple Loopers Like a Multi-Cam Director

One Buhr Looper is an instrument. Several Buhr Loopers — drums on one track, bass on another, vocals on a third — is a band. And a band needs a control room. That's Mission Control: a single hub that sees every Buhr Looper in your session, composites their visuals into one stage, and records the whole show in sync. It's the director's booth for your loop set.

One dashboard, every instance

Load multiple Buhr Looper instances across your DAW tracks and Mission Control automatically registers all of them. The dashboard shows a live preview tile for each instance — complete with real, moving waveforms in the looper rings — so at a glance you can see what every part of your rig is doing: who's recording, who's playing, who's empty. No tabbing between plugin windows mid-song.

A shared stage that combines everyone

Here's the visual magic. Mission Control renders a shared stage feed that composites the video from all your instances into one unified scene, plus per-instance overlays. Your drum loop's camera tile, your bass loop's tile, your vocal loop's tile — all arranged together on one output, building into a single multi-cam picture as the song grows.

Instead of three separate looper visuals fighting for attention, you get one coherent stage that looks like it was cut by a live video director. Because, effectively, it was.

Global Undo: one button, whole rig

Stacking loops across several instances used to make "undo" ambiguous — undo which one? Mission Control solves it with Global Undo: one mapped button removes the single most recent recorded loop across every instance, in the order they happened. Fluffed the last layer, doesn't matter which track it was on? One press, gone. It's tuned to work cleanly across mixed audio and MIDI loopers, and it's safe to trigger from a controller mid-performance.

The built-in recorder: capture the show, in sync

The feature content creators fall for: Mission Control has a built-in stage recorder. It captures the entire composited stage to a .mov file using screen capture, with options that matter for a real deliverable:

• Resolution presets up to 4K (720p / 1080p / 4K).
• 30 or 60 fps.
• An optional clean-stage output (just the visuals, no UI chrome).
• The performing instance's own audio baked in — and crucially, the video timing is locked to that instance's audio clock, so picture and sound stay in sync for editing. No more "the audio drifts two frames by the end."

That means you can walk off stage with a finished, in-sync performance video ready to post or hand to an editor. The set was the shoot.

Share the score across the room

Mission Control also lets one instance publish its Automation Lab state so a sequenced performance can drive multiple loopers from a single source of truth. Program the arrangement once; let it conduct the whole rig.

Two ways people use it

The multi-instrumentalist. Drums, bass, keys, and vocals each get their own Buhr Looper. Mission Control combines all four camera feeds into one stage, Global Undo cleans up mistakes across the board, and the recorder bottles the whole thing in 4K. One performer, full band, one cohesive video.

The streamer / content creator. Run the recorder to capture a clean, in-sync stage while you perform, then publish straight to YouTube or socials. Because the audio is the instance's own and locked to the video clock, post-production is basically optional.

Why it matters

The hardest part of growing from "looping at home" to "performing and publishing" isn't the playing — it's the production: multiple cameras, a video switcher, a recorder, and praying the sync holds. Mission Control folds the switcher, the multi-cam stage, the cross-instance undo, and the synced recorder into the plugin you're already playing.

You bring the performance. Mission Control runs the booth.
