Introduction of Polaris by Meteaure Facilitates Sketching Loops on the Go

Polaris by Meteaure, launched in April 2024 for USD 4 on Android, is a DAW-less groovebox built by former Arturia developer Baptiste Le Goff. With six tracks, a 4x4 step sequencer, synth/sample engine, modulation, and effects such as reverb and delay, it’s perfect for sketching loops on the go.
