Ping me here, by email, the messaging system, our FB page, whatever. I try to keep my eye on all the different channels...
Checked out the coverage on Dischord, where @SecretBaseDesign suggests a user just load up synths in various channels in AUM and drive them all with Infinite Looper.
Hadn't thought of that... kinda cool. I've been kind of doing that with SunVox, but this looks like it might be easier.
Other early adopters in this thread have mentioned bugs, crashes, etc. Have the cause of those been sorted out? Or are they rare enough not to be dealbreakers? Or, just a couple isolated cases that may just be the user's device?
I cannot export audio. When I try to do so I crash out back to the 'padtop'. I don't consider this a dealbreaker, for now, because I'm sure SBD will address it, but it's a short term drawback for sure
Hmmm.. thx. Doesn't sound like that would have any impact on the described scenario, ie. driving synths via midi in AUM and recording there?
Is that the ONLY bugga-boo you've found?
here we go:

more to come
i really dig InfiniteLooper - it does exactly what i was looking for at a bargain!
So to be clear you can only have 6 loops playing at once? Or more than 6 but layered on top of the six? Kind of confused. As I know the audio loopers late you layer on top each loop.
Six different tracks/instruments -- and each track can have up to eight loops going simultaneously. So, potentially 48 things going on at any point.
Wow that's impressive!
Can we come back and edit the layered loops?
You can edit any of the loops -- just do a long press, and it opens up the piano roll. You can overdub on any loop as well.
Sold.
Select/zoom and mute/solo -- should be no problem, and I expect to have those for 1.1. I hadn't thought about swing, but there's no reason not to do it -- I recall seeing a video with Roger Linn where he talked about how he did swing on one of his early drum machines, and it wasn't too tricky, so I'll try to make that happen too!
Just had my first hour alone with iL and I was able to make this really cool song in minutes rather than looking thru endless icons and menus! I was able to get that song out of my mind and it was awesome!!!
Track 1 had Z3TA, track 2, iM1, track 3 iFretless, and had the internal drums rocking! Wow this is exactly what I was looking for! Can't wait for all the stuff that's in store for this amazing app!
Thanks for bringing this to reality!
Will leave positive feedback on store for sure!
You what would be cool,
To have each loop within the mother loop have its own volume too and panning. Hope this makes sense.
Yeah, ability to move about fluidly in the roll is def. a big plus. Roll-playability generally does mark some apps high up in the 'flow' section and others not so much, even though IL is about far more than that....
@SecretBaseDesign I understand the limitations on the number of columns (instruments), but as I understand it there are only eight loops per column? I would prefer you allow the user to add loops as needed, but cap the number that can be played simultaneously. I think users would be bumping their head on the maximum loop limit far more often than trying to play 8+ loops from a single instrument. Perhaps I misunderstand?
@SecretBaseDesign Well done on this overall, btw. You've managed to figure out everything I've felt lacking in my beloved Firo, and not only that, thanks to Sidecar I might even be able to get them to play nice together and have the best of both worlds. I do not normally like jumping through hoops, but I am tempted to try it out.
Currently eight loops per column -- but that's something that I was thinking might change. I went with eight by default, to avoid a situation where people would have to "think about it" and create a space for a loop, before getting down to the music making business. I figured eight would be enough for most people to get their groove on, but without having to scroll a long way down to see what loops were active. In the next update (or perhaps the one after), there will likely be a little "+" symbol at the bottom of each column -- and if you get down there, you'll probably know what to do ;-).
I think I'll probably stick with six instruments, though -- that should be plenty to cover most users, and I'm trying to keep the UI simple, without having to page forward and back all the time. The iPhone version is going to have to slide left and right, which I really don't like -- but I don't see a way around it.
@SecretBaseDesign Sounds reasonable. If this is to be a musical sketchbook then I need more pages than pencils.
Perfect.
@SecretBaseDesign any thoughts on the inability to export sound? Still crashing out to the padtop when I hit that button. Wasn't bothering me too much but now (of course) I've come up with a few loops I'd love to export and so what was no pain is suddenly bothersome....that notwithstanding, I'm really liking the creative flow, you're right there on the melody and the feel and can alter, shave, fiddle in the moment. Really positive.
Also (and @anyoneatall!) I can't seem to remember how to copy patterns. I know, brain freeze. I have a panel I want to copy a few times and just reduce as it goes, but can't remember how and DON'T want to have input the whole thing over and over again....
I'm getting... the iphone version!!!!
@JohnnyGoodyear I believe copying patterns is on the todo list. Also, what iOS are you on as I have had no issues exporting audio from this using 9.2 ?
Ah. OK. Good to know viz copying. That's a pretty big one (for me obviously). As for iOS, I'm using the latest on an Air 1. Thanks much etc.
@JohnnyGoodyear -- I think I may have figured out the crash with audio export. Can you try tapping on the audio file you want to export first, and then hitting the export-audio button (in case you're not doing that)? I realized that if an audio file isn't selected, and you try to export.... bad things happen, or at least I've got a bug that needs a fix (and it's a trivial fix). If that's not what's happening, then I'll need to dig a little more.
At worst, there's iTunes file sharing; you should have access to files that way. (Yes, I know -- about as pleasant as a trip to the dentist.)
For copy-and-paste -- yes, should be coming shortly!
sweet! now you asked for it ;-)
transposing the selection by one octave as a short cut would be nice (maybe long press on the move tool or something like this)
and of course copying and pasting the selection
and and issue:
i was not able or at least did not work out how to change the octave of the on screen keyboard. it seems like it starts with the lowest possible octave
Yes,trasposing would be awesome
Any future plans to allow to inport midi files to tracks? I have tons of standard midi files that i would love to inport and be able to transpose would be even sweeter. Thanks for this awesome app.
@SecretBaseDesign Good to hear copy/paste is on the docket, beyond it's obvious facility, it will really play into one of IL's great strengths which is undoubtedly speed of composition/comparison etc. which helps the creative flow tremendously.
Sorry to say no joy with selecting the file first for audio export. The export project is fine, but not the export audio. I did reboot, try different files, including the demo, but instacrash I'm afraid....
(For the record: The files don't appear in iTunes; the crash is so fast I don't think anything is being generated...)
The more I get into clip-launching type workflows the less I finish anything. Maybe this is just a temporary adjustment thing.
I'm kinda finding the same thing.., get lots of loops recorded or programmed that fit nicely together - but that's usually where it stays.
