    Hey Michael, I’ve been thinking about the sequencer and I have one question related to overdubbing. Imagine that you record 2 bars of rhythm on one track and then you layer a melody over the same track. If I was to replicate that on the timeline would I need to record the overdub as a separate track which would be then launched from the sequencer or is the track going to be able to recall it’s previous states? (dropdown, choose version). Thanks!

    The former - it’s a one-to-one mapping on the timeline, so if you change the contents of a track then those changes will apply to the entire timeline. That’s a deliberate choice to keep things simple and clean. Note that you can have an unlimited number of tracks, so there’s not going to be a shortage.

    Great to see the Twitter announcement overnight ref the Beta @Michael the excitement is building.

    Awesome, that makes sense. This app is going to offer revolutionary workflow… Circular and linear approach with all the AUs, ultimate freedom! I can’t wait any longer 🤣

    Sorry if my question repeats but can't comprehend this whole thread :lol:
    Do we already know if Loopy Pro will be available as AU instrument? Seems like it will do AU hosting? Not going to complain, just that I feel we're not missing another AU host that much, I am more desperate from missing a simple "loop player" AU. Yes, there's sEGments, but that's for a single loop file and it's honestly quite cumbersome, no ability to trim recorder loop etc...
    So really hoping Loopy Pro is finally going to be THE one :smile:

    Yep AUv3 or host.

    Oh god, excitement level 9999 right now. Thanks for the answer!

    I’m still unclear on how/whether we can route its audio as a host back into AUM, which would be ideal for easily transitioning between AUM projects for live performance.

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    @Michael will that sequencer section have the ability to schedule the recording of loops, and also the playback per track, as per the failed Zenaudio ALK desktop app?

    I believe you said it did, but I'm not sure if that is in the future, or it's made it into the current beta.

    Absolutely, yep, so you can have a fully automated live looping system. It'll even let you record the first loop free (without metronome), and figure out the tempo from that.

    You'll be able to use Loopy Pro as an AU inside AUM if you like.

    I've deliberately not implemented IAA, as it's been deprecated by Apple, and AUv3 works better anyway.

    What about Audiobus? Will the standalone (which can host AU's) be able to run as an input, FX, and/or output in Audiobus? If so, then Loopy Pro standalone -> AUM would be possible, no?

    Haha. It does though, though the AUv3 API

    Thanks man. Excited to try this. Would be interested in beta if you need anyone and have room. Cheers.

    Will it be possible to arm tracks before recording? I have a rather simple tech21 midi mongoose pedal that can only send midi on one channel at a time. I would like to use this pedal for start / stop, undo, overdub etc. on multiple tracks. It would be cool to be able to select a track and arm it for midi so when my pedal sends its midi only the one track that is active reacts to it..

    Another little teaser:

    (Really not long now!)

    that looks cool man, is there a way to set this low pass effect up like a Kaos pad where the effect is only applied on touch and another cool thing about the kaos pad is when you release effect it adds a little delay tail, just and extra nice little touch to a transition

  • theinfinatetheinfinate

    @Michael said:

    track group outputs themselves, so you can use track groups as an audio source.

    The grouping of tracks sounds like a game changer!

    Builtin effects include a very well featured parametric EQ, a dynamics effect combining limiter and compressor, reverb and octave/pitch, and still to come, delay, phaser, chorus, autopan and distortion. All parameters (also for AUs) can be midi controlled or controlled by custom onscreen UI, or via a track envelope for sidechain control.

    As Borat says...Very Nice! LOVE the look of that EQ

    Effects can be applied to any combination of inputs and outputs, and multiple instances are handled automatically.

    I can't wait to see this, im a little unsure exactly what you mean but im really excited to see all the possibilities in person.

    Yep, Loopy handles that via intro/outro sections, which play before and after track playback.

    Not sure what you mean by this, any chance of a video snipet of this in action?

    The delays must sync with midi clock.
    An octaver (voice or guitar to bass) effect is very handy.
    Output effects must not effect incoming audio (tracks only) like the RC505

    Yep

    shut up and take my money! :D
    does the octave/pitch effect have low latency? This I find very few apps get right, TC helicon I think have the quickest latency for pitch conversion.

    Is there a way to fire scenes like ableton to have seperate song parts?

    This sequencer thing is a game changer.
    Will you be able to send midi CC from the sequencer/timeline?. That way you could trigger Drambo, Hammerhead, DigiStix, Atom2 or whatever to change patterns and build a song with rhythmic changes and parts… it’s probably not meant as a full fledged daw but having pattern changes like this would be an amazing songwriting and live tool.
    Will you be able to export individual tracks from the sequencer for final mixing and adding more stuff elsewhere?.

    Yep to both. You’ll be able to trigger any action that you can trigger with midi or onscreen widgets by adding the action to the timeline, which includes sending midi.

    Holy wowsers, this has a sequencer. This is next level! Sounds like this should be a new DAW on my MacBook! Its the one thing missing in ableton, the ability to loop audio in clips

    Really looking forward to this, immediate purchase on release happy to beta test ;-)

    My question is - Will it make me a cup of tea as I wake up and then trigger the shower to come on once I get out of bed?

    Not a deal breaker but would be really useful

    Thanks

    Predicted reply from @Michael : "Yep, you can program that separately for each loop, or through MIDI when using an external controller"

    @Michael Will this also be available to run on M1 Macs?
