Does anyone know of a FOSS audio loop station for android? I would like to record several audio tracks for the purposes of writing and practicing. Thanks

The only thing I could find on F-droid was "LoopBoard" which seems to no longer be receiving updates.

Not sure you can get it to run on Android, but sooperlooper is a very good and stable open source looper. I've built a quite elaborate setup around two instances and puredata and it rarely fails. Can highly recommend!

This looks awesome, thanks. Will try it on my Linux laptop.

It's honestly a really well designed project. The engine and gui can run independently of each other so you can run the engine headless and interface with it via osc. This is what I do and works very well. The midi sync is very good and remains sync for days on end if your jack is stable. I make music with a friend who runs ableton and we both do live looping with a shared clock and never run into problems. Anyway, give it a spin!
