    Also notice the auto-loop detection at the start; I didn't time the punch in/out at all.

    Caught that straight away. Impressive! (The whole vid)

    Freaking genius! :)

    Edit: how cpu intensive all this AI?
    Is it realistic to expect all this with monitoring through some heavy weight AUs?

    Yep, it's really lightweight.

    I suspect this app is 99.99% done. That last little bit will only take another 6 months assuming linearity from the start of this thread. Arg. #Brexit #FreeAustralia

    The auto loop detection is crazy. I can’t wait to try to break it. 😉

    Need this “Loopy 4K”
    If we send you money will it be finished faster, lol

    Is that the Emoji for "100% Agree" or the Dreaded "99.99% Agree"?

    Auto record/loop detection, labeling, groups.
    Wait, did you mention song mode somewhere?
    My head is spinning.

    Song mode stuff (i.e. sequencing, on a timeline) is coming in v1.1, but otherwise yup.

    Dare I ask if there is any easy integration with any of the various launchpad products?

    Here's another fun thing I mentioned before but not recently - Loopy's echo cancellation system.

    You'll hear at the end the signal's almost totally removed; it's just bits of the room echo, as my office is pretty echoey.

    Also notice the auto-loop detection at the start; I didn't time the punch in/out at all.

    WHAT THE FUCK THAT IS NUTS

    There will be, yeah - already it's pretty easy, with a built-in MIDI learn which has MIDI feedback for all controls, so the buttons light up. I'll be adding color selection and stuff soon, too, and probably it'll ship with some projects that have the grid all set up.

  • sloJordansloJordan

    I'm curious to know if such a feature effects the sound of the second recorded loop at all? Like if i were recording a new vocal loop while the beat box loop was playing audibly, would you hear artifacts if listening to only the vocal take?

    No, that's the cool thing, it's totally distortionless. I had to write my own algorithm to do it, and get pretty deep into the science!

    I just listened to the video with good headphones and this magic became apparent while listening carefully. I caught the significance of the test signal through headphones too. Insane!

    No distortion. New algorithm. Science... well, no wonder it's taken a year to get this done.
    People that take on the discovery of new science can disappear for years.

    Good luck with that 0.001% and the months of testing.

    Song mode stuff (i.e. sequencing, on a timeline) is coming in v1.1, but otherwise yup.

    Until 1.1 lands, if I’m understanding the “leaked” bits correctly, one could pretty easily sequence a song with very minimal external MIDI. Set up a group per song section and assign that group to a midi note. Send notes from an external sequencer. Slowly. :)

    Can a loop be part of more than group?

    Are you asking if a loop can be part of more than one group?
    If that’s the question it’s a very cool thing. Group the loop does that and it’s super time saving.
    Meant to add that it is a simple copy and paste action.

    In the meantime, I posted a Mozaic script that lets you define 4 groups of any combination of Loopy’s 12 tracks. And also provides discrete mute and unmute via MIDI that one can use while we wait for Michael’s new masterpiece.

    I saw that. Looks amazing . Beautiful work. Of course you have to own Mozaic which I don’t.

    There are play groups and colours, so that’s two groupings; anything more than that you’d need to do yourself, but that’s fairly easy using the control system.

    Cheers but I'm still a little fuzzy on it. Can a single loop be included in more than one play group? Simple use case: a drum loop that you want to be active for both "Part A" and "Part B" of a song.

    I’ll have am update soon to adjust volume and pan and maybe a couple of other handy features to make my use case more convenient.

    I think you’d just keep said loop outside of the play groups, so it plays through. But yeah, I guess there could be a scenario where there's a loop that's part of A and B, but not C, or whatever, so I'm willing to consider multiple group membership for tracks. It's a matter of weighing up that ability versus the added complexity of managing a many-to-many relationship in the UI; I don't want to make it too complex, as you can make your own groupings using the actions system (as you can define as many actions as you want per widget/midi control/etc, so you can just add play/pause actions for the tracks you want).

    I see this scenario @syrupcore points out very clearly, and it’d be super useful. If I’m not mistaken you could achieve the same using actions to trigger whatever loops, but doing so in groups sounds easier.
    Can’t wait!. Be warned that my expectations are skyrocket high with all these teasers. I’m holding back from buying the Akai Force to see if the new Loopy provides a much needed proper audio clip workflow. It’s sort of ridiculous that I’m thinking of spending that amount of money on a huge piece of gear because there’s nothing (outside of a daw) in current iOS (auv3 and so on) that just works for audio.
