    Looking great @Michael !
    Would be possible asynchronous loops with different durations each and not tied to Tempo?

    Since this is already in Loopy, I would assume it will also be in the new one.

    Sooo looking fwd! Hopefully there will be presets for midi settings for midi maps.
    And hopefully easy import/export of audio

    Yeah I’ll be doing that

    Nothing that is already in the previous Loopy is going to be cut in the new one, correct?

    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.

    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 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).

    Appreciate you considering the use case but... please don't! I haven't even touched the software yet; way too soon for feature requests. :) I was just wondering how it all works.

    Plus, sounds like widgets + actions should cover the use case handsomely.

    Sweet, because I love the loop slipping forwards and backwards (and many other things).

    Not even for one shots?

    And any time stretching for one shots?

    It’s been years iOS musicians are begging for an audio clip launcher.
    Will it be the one ?

    For one shots, I’ll probably make it an option (it’s currently monophonic though, so playing a second time moves the play head).

    Yep, it has time stretching.

    Nothing hard yet, but nearing the finish line now.

    @Michael Just wanted to say I'm excited for this app whenever it releases! Loopy (and Audiobus) were what got me into iOS music in the first place, before I even considered development.

  • audiblevideoaudiblevideo

    @Michael is the ios gateway drug.

    Any chance we can peak at the Customize screen?

    Don’t distract him! 😉 (I considered asking the same.)

    Lets you specify custom actions for each interaction (like send a midi command, etc)

    Inorite? Sorry! It was actually intended to save time (in my muddled, fiendish mind anyway). As in "Any chance we can peak at the Customize screen in hopes it answers a few of 85 questions I'm dying to pester you with right now?

    Do ask as many questions as you like though – they’re all very useful to me! I’m actually a total Luddite when it comes to music tech (the most modern music tech that I have anything to do with is my fiddle), so I do tend to rely on you guys to help plug the holes in my knowledge 😄

    Cool!

    Does the ‘grid’ also have an editable sequencer connected to it?
    In practice that would make each ‘loop’ a placeholder for a sound that can be sequenced.

    If it’s a yes does the equencer also record automation of all the onscreen controls and make them easily editable?

    I know it’s a feature creep warning 😎

    Not yet, but that's coming along with the MIDI stuff (basically, a track can be an 'instrument' controlled by a MIDI track). Until then, you can resample any group of tracks (along with their effects) into a new track.

    Aye, capn, resampling will work for the V1 no problem at all. And this is why I'm interested in randomizing playback between tracks in a group. Take 2-3 resamples of a beat as you do in the video and "print them" to, say, 3 tracks. Then playback randomizes between those three so you get a nice varied beat that doesn't cause ear fatigue.

    Any chance we could get a screen shot for how you set up each "slice"?

    This is shaping up to align nearly perfectly with my dream workflow!

    Would be cool if the widgets could act similar to the loops but for recording hand gestures instead of audio. Like if you could just pick a record length like with normal loops and then record touches on that widget until it starts looping. Then you'd have loopy audio, midi, AND automation!
