@helmutmaria There are TONS of features that I'm planning on implementing. It's only a matter of prioritization at this point. On the track mixer panel that you pull out from the left, there is that blank space, I'm going to put some pop out style controls there which will include volume,pan automation and per track effects. I agree there is room for improvement, I'm working on filling it.
@LooperSonic, looking forward to this. Again, great job with this app
I spent a few hours with it yesterday.
Very enjoyable app.
@LooperSonic
For me, pan and fade in and out and glue clips together would be a priority request.
The select all 3D thing kinda works for me but glue would be handy and quicker for individual track extension. Don't know if that is feasible.
The copy and paste is a bit imprecise, a snap to bar function would be good.
I was going to say track fx but just discovered you can route input through IAA effects which is friggin excellent..
Loving it so far..just initial impressions.
@Jes There is a join feature. Does that address the gluing clips together? Or are you referring to something like grouping clips ?( I have big plans there
) Snap to grid is enabled once you've moved a clip past one "unit of snap". So if you are zoomed out to where you are seeing lines for quarter notes, to enable snapping for a clip, just move it from it's position the distance of one quarter note or more and it will snap from that point on.
Oh yes I found the Join feature. After selecting multiple clips. Wow that is powerful !That is what I was referring to.
Hmmm. Not sure I understand you on the snap to grid. When I am zoomed out to quarter notes I can place the clip anywhere in the bar ,it doesn't snap to a quarter note. When working in set bars it is handy to have snap to full note also eg 2.1 . Maybe I'm not getting it .
@Jes So the way the snapping works is this: Snapping is off when you first put your finger down on a selected clip. With your finger still down start dragging to the left or right. At first, since snapping is off, the clip will drag freely, without lifting your finger keep dragging farther than you want it to go, and it will begin snapping. Snapping turns off as soon as you lift your finger.
Let me be a pan seconder
I got that snappin' feelin'...
Go Broncos!
Found this ol music box that I've had since I was born, did some fast and slow loops with the sonic...
Added Nebulizer, one's reg and ones way down...
A single 'duplicate current loop area' function would be most welcome. Long press loop region to see it? Swipe down from loop area to just do it? Double tap blank track to select all with 'duplicate' added to menu? I dunno The best way to get to it but I find myself selecting all, copy, move cursor, paste often. Full disclosure: only my first evening with it. Maybe these steps will flow more in the future.
Great app as is. Thanks for it!
When you copy, the paste menu points to where it will paste. You don't have to move the cursor. I find it pretty fluid.
is panning on the way?
@kobamoto @JohnnyGoodyear @Jes Pan is a definitely going to happen.
@syrupcore I agree completely, I'll address this in one way or another. I'm saving (at this point), long press on the tempo bar to change the base tempo to match the size of the current loop. I might add handles to the loop bar, to make it easier to manipulate, and I was thinking I could do a long press on the handle that does just that.
ok thanks
This is great start to an app, thanks for releasing it
It will be even better when Link and the other planned features are built in. I'm finding it easier for recording live noodling than for recording fixed loops like drums from other apps since there's no sync. (haven't used IAA though yet)
I tried first to record some Samplr jams but Samplr IAA seems not working for me so I used Audiobus but syncing by ear was difficult so I went back to Loopy since the advantage there was that you can midi sync and you also get the record/bar countdown in the audiobus panel to get it spot on. So I was recording loops in Loopy, then audiocopying them to the Loopersonic timeline. So link should help here. The timeline feels good though and quick to work with.
it would also be great to have pan and volume/gain per clip not just track if possible although I guess automation would make that redundant if you're planning on that.
I might actually do clip end fades as a stop gap before I do per track automation, but interestingly enough, more people seem to want midi IO than volume automation. I'll have to bump that up on the list.
This app will be awesome with midi sync. it is so fast for quickly building a rough track up. I think a lot of folks may not realise the DAW timeline aspect of it. great stuff!
And believe u me cassetur, u r a genius
Fair comment if I should say so myself
midi and time stretch are aparently on the way. 8)
Personally my rhythm sucks so I am really looking forward to using it with midi sync. on the upside when I have my Novation Circuit manualy synced to it, just by earballing, the two stay in sync for a long time without drifting. but yah, can't wait for external midi sync.
is there any way to use this within AUM? I don't want to send it out to audiobus. I'd love to be able to use it in Aum, without having to switch screens to audiobus
@eross i haven't tried AUM yet, but LooperSonic supports inter app audio, so I think it should work fine.
@Nathan Did you find the tutorial? It gives you a basic walk through. In an upcoming release I'll be adding a loop edit mode for the first loop only. You'll be able to fix it after the fact. Until then, a good technique for getting the timing right is to get your finger tapping with the beat you are making, then let your finger tap on the record button at the beginning and end of the loop. Somehow keeping my finger tapping through the beat helps me with my timing.
I found it has to be loaded into the input slot (like many others), it's not available in the fx slot unfortunately. So in my case AB is needed for the signal routing.
My two top favs in loopers are Loopersonic and GTL. Each has its great features. Definitely love LS IAA option to load other apps!
Thanks Mr. Dev for an amazing app!
I can't get it to work( as an output) without being sent through audiobus first. is there a way for you to collaborate with AUM maybe, so that you can use loopersonic as an output, all within AUM?
I went ahead and got AUM. It's pretty cool.
AudioBus is set up a little more intuitively than the IAA API allows for. With inter-app audio you can only publish your output to other apps. So there is no selecting outputs per se. You have to go to the app you want to output to, and select the app you want input from. Unless I'm mistaken, picking an input is the only way IAA makes connections.
If you want to select an app as an input to AUM you pick it within AUM.
If you want to select an app as an output from AUM, you have to select one of AUM's ports from within that app.
So to send to LooperSonic, open LooperSonic, tap the 1/4 jack icon on the screen to the right, then select Kymatica: AUM(Port 1-4) and you're off to the races.
Try to play through the loop instead of trying to start and end with a single loop. That is, play the loop three times and record the middle one.
