And for guitar stuff.
Loopy makes for a great combination with AUM both as a traditional looper and as a take recorder. Loopy and Loopy HD can be used together to give you up to 24 tracks. You can use the stereo outs OR the individual outs for each loop/trak.
It works great with foot pedals. Every aspect is MIDI controllable. So, coming up with MOZAIC or Streambyter patches to create custom solutions -- one can easily set it up so that one can even have song parts.
Here is a super-quick demo of using it with AB3 and AUM -- you don't have to leave AUM when recording:
Here is a page with details and more videos:

I find stagelight is a nice guitar practice tool because you have everything you need to set up a quick backing track, but can still lay down loops with ease all in one app.
For just jammin on the ipad with synths and stuff though, I use Loopy for it's rock solid performance and flexibility to use with every app on my ipad in conjunction with AB.
I wish Loopy had some of GTL's features for song sectioning, or even some things like loop naming. I get lost fast as to which loop is which in Loopy.
I love the looks of Quantiloop, but get flustered by the pedal motif more than helped by it. I guess if i had a hardware looper at some point in my past it would be less discombobulating. Very capable and solid app though.
I use Quantiloop. As other say, it's like a BOSS Loop Station. It's easy to set up with Ableton Link, which works really well, and bluetooth foot pedals
Point is, BOSS interfaces are very user friendly, and this looper is very much to the point. I use it presently, mostly with Session Drums (Ableton Link), and an Airturn BT2004, and an iPad Mini 5.
I tried Quantiloop, Loopy HD and GTL.
Still looking for some easy going Looper. Too many options makes me crazy and at the end, i don't understand how to use it.
Quantiloop "looks friendly" but .... SHIT, a lot of things inside that machine ( is $20usd boss looper )
I agree. The problem for me is that I forget some settings when it's complicated and so it's endless troubleshooting.
But over the years i've found that it's just the way it is, and the trick is to go at it slowly and not let it get to you. '
Anyways, it's either too simple or too complicated. You can't get the features you want, and easy also. Hardware items are always much easier to deal with also, as most of us know.
Ableton Link has really made things easier also.
Loopy is awesome but the interface is confusing...
I can't remember what's the pad, the drums, the arp, the guitar loop, etc....
All you get is a wave form that you have to try to guess what it is...
Other than that, loopy is pretty much 10/10..
Maybe you can rename the loops ? I dunno haven't tried lol
Quantiloop I've never tried, it looks weird..
Is GTl an auv3 recording Looper ??
If it is I need to get it
Long term I suspect the Loopy HD developer is in it 100%. He's just spread a bit thin so Loopy Masterpiece is probably years out. The good news is Loopy HD and AudioBus 3 work well together since the developer owns both ends of the debugging exercise and he accepts input here.
If there's anything you don't like about Loopy complain or workaround it.
To add MIDI just add Xequence 2 for many of the same reasons.
These 3 create the best Hyper-DAW. There are reasons you might include AUM for mixing, MIDI and additional FX benefits.
Perfect it on an iPad and move your configs to an iPhone for even more mobility support.
GTL is similar to Loopy in that it is a looper and it's not AUv3. It can host apps within itself though, unlike Loopy. And, as the name implies, there are some grouping functions that Loopy doesn't have. Sometimes it can be tough doing the finger dance in Loopy to get all the parts you want going on time, especially when you have to mentally keep track of what's what.
Don't get me wrong, Loopy is my go-to looper. But there are some things that it would be nice to have to make it better some day. Or, just to have a single AU Loopy Looper to through in anywhere.

Is about as simple as possible
In the end I've decided I'm getting both.
I've been using Quantiloop for the past five days.
It's very straight forward.
Four channels is sufficient to get things going,
I wonder why there is a limit of only
3 fx on the inputs and 3 fx on the outputs
rather than being able to chain 3 fx per channel
or simply have four fx's for the input and output.
I also thought it would've been possible to drag
a loop from one channel to another creating
instant overdubs.
I most probably will be able to re-route audio
back into Quantiloop to achieve the same thing.
Timing is as rock solid as it can be using Ableton.
The midi sync permutations are more than sufficient
I would say.
It's a good app, I like it.
A question though.
Is it better to buy it as an IAP purchase or get the pro version
as there doesn't seem to be a difference at first glance.
In conclusion Quantiloop is going to be for live and Loopy Hd is
going to be for more compositional and studio stuff.
Thanks for all your assistance.
IMO, there is an advantage to non-IAP upgrades: if you have a family, the IAPs aren't shared across family members but the a full-version purchase is.
@espiegel123
Good to know.
Quantiloop Pro it is then.
Thanks for that.
Blocs wave
I use it because of Ableton Link, can generate interesting loops, helps keep my workflow organized, and I can make a full song using Launchpad. Plus, I'm bad at tempo management.
@Samflash3
Why?
It's a lot easier to manage loops on Blocs Wave. Plus, you can remix your recordings by sending to Launchpad.
@Samu
I get you.
I've only ever used it for playing back
loops and not as a writing tool.
Can you use it like Quantiloop,
as in can you record live instrument
parts on the fly without stopping.
I'm quite organised when it comes to loops.
I'm really not that much into live looping, but I would love to see a proper midi & audio clip-launcher on iOS
Considering my live-played timing sucks big time I would love to at least have an option in Loopy HD adjust the length of the loop or just use a portion of the recorded audio. (ie. trim or at least set the start & end points of the recorded loops).
Most of the time I end up recording stuff on a time-line and the chop out the segment I'm most happy with.
(Usually I end up doing this in Ableton Live Lite since it's easy to warp the audio to fix my messed up 'human syncing abilities').
Cheers!
@Samu
I hear you.
I improvise all the time so live looping is quite fun
for me especially as I play multiple instruments.
I've used blockwaves before and I like the textures but when
it comes to looping and samples I much, much prefer BM3.
Live looping is new territory for me so
Quantiloop and Loopy HD are perfect for that.
I agree, a proper midi and audio clip
launcher would be great on iOS.
Is there any other way of getting loops out of
Quantiloop other than the export function?
What would be cool is to be able
to export a saved preset in one go rather
than having to save individual loops.
For quantized looping use GTL. It also has amazing midi functions like different tempo at each song part or toggle/round robin function from one single midi/key event...
@TheDubbyLabby
I've already got Quantiloop Pro.
I'll look into GTL in the future.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Amazing app too. In the end find your workflow is part of the process...
@TheDubbyLabby
Quantiloop Pro is good for my workflow.
I'll be testing it out with my band as soon possible.
Studio environment is one thing, live is another.
I do need a foot pedal for it though.
Check the nektar pacer maybe it will suit your needs
Will say that I love my Blueboard. There is a nice Streambyter script for it to add double and triple taps for each of the buttons.

@TheDubbyLabby @espiegel123 @mjcouche
I had totally forgotten that I had a Roland GR-1 guitar synth.
I've since discovered that it can send out midi control changes. 😁
Merry Christmas!
Likewise brother ✌🏽
Funny Xmas!
