    @espiegel123 @uncledave @symianbeatz I got it working. I didn't have stuff armed in LK. Stupid user error. Thanks for all the help!

    Lol that's a facepalm for sure, happened to me too when I first started using it, glad you're sorted now👍

    @sinosoidal and @xglax I have a new odd thing for you!!

    New iPhone 14 Pro Max, LK AUV3 will play 2X faster than Loopy Pro. The issue is there with AppStore/beta version for both apps. No issue with LK in other hosts on 14 Pro Max, no issues for LK/LPP combo on 7 Plus and iPad Pro M1.

    See video, everything is set properly, but LK plays one full bar while LPP plays one half bar:

    Have you tried Loopy with other midi apps in the 14 Pro Max to see if the speed issue also happens with them or only with LK?

    I’ve just tried, work properly with Rozeta Bassline, Brambos Hammerhead, Loopbud, 4Pockets Helium and Multitrack recorder. So only LK seems to have issue.

    Thanks! We don't have that phone available to test this. Does anyone have one so we can have more test cases?

    The strange thing is this problem only occurs on your phone. When you tried on other devices, have you exported that same Loopy project and used it, or did you create new projects to test out the problem? Does this happen every time you open LK in loopy pro or only in that particular session?

    Incredibly odd I know!!

    No issue on iPad Pro M1 and iPhone 7 Plus, only 14 Pro Max.

    Perfectly running project on iPad Pro M1 airdropped to 14 Pro Max has the sync issue.

    Issues is with all projects.

    With Link disabled or not. Changing tempo don’t fix it too.

    Device restart and reinstall does nothing.

    Appstore and beta versions for LPP and LK change nothing.

    Other hosts like AUM have no issues with LK on 14 Pro Max

    Only thing that I could add is the 14 Pro Max is the only running iOS16. iPad Pro and 7 Plus has 15.

    @sinosoidal @xglax I’ve reported the issue to Loopy Pro Discord, we will see what @Michael has to say about that issue.

    For now my workaround is to use 2X bars in LK, for example 4 bars in LK is like 2 bars in Loopy Pro. But it’s only for quick live use, nothing serious can be done as when it will be fixed projects will get broken.

    We must check if the problem is related with the iOS 16. Seems like the only major change between your different devices.

    Anyone here with iOS 16 getting the same problem?

    @xglax I’ve found what seems to cause the issue, like 100 % sure!!! This happens on iPhone … and iPad, iOS 16 and … iPadOS 15, in Loopy Pro and another AUV3 host in beta version. Only with LK.

    Correlation? Using 32 buffers latency!! No issues with 64 and higher.

    100 % reproductible here, see video:

    Hope you can fix this :)

    Nice thanks!!! It was well hidden, I spent more than hour trying to find a cause to this issue. Need so much LK on my new phone even if it wasn’t even the device which was the culprit ;)

    While we love to update LK, it is also important that our time investment into the app could generate a new source of income. Unfortunately, the amount of work is not proportional with our resources growth and the result is that we tend to iterate less frequently.

    Following this line of thought, what unique feature would you be available to pay as a new in-app purchase?

    I'm an "unadvanced"user of Lk, so I may have missed some features. Sorry if what I suggest already exist:

    1. In the matrix, a drum track view. We are not very far from that, thanks to the ability to select "presets". But, Zenbeat (in the drum track panel) is a good example of the kind of interface that would be convenient. Octachron or drumlab (in the steps view) also give a good idea of the interface and functionality that could be interesting:
    • mute some of the drums
    • easy access to velocity / sub-divide / probability... for each step / drum
    • convenient ways to enter multiple steps for a specific drum (in Zenbeat, it is very well implemented)
    • polyrythm (see drumlab, for a good implementation of that, and also polybeat I think, but I don't have it yet)

    Zenbeat or drumlab are not AUV3. Octatron and polybeat do not allow midi input or midi import. So, there is a room for that kind of functionality in Lk, I think. And it would be an IAP, of course.

    1. A convenient way to navigate and explore midi files / patterns. Again, Zenbeat does that well and differentiate drum patterns and "instrument" patterns: you can search and select by tag (however, you can't "tag" your own patterns). Again, it could be an IAP.

    +1 I’d love to see drum-specific clips aswell. All valid points.
    I can’t stand piano rolls for drums, it’s a brain short circuit.
    Like you point out most auv3 sequencers don’t allow real time recording, a must.
    Would this be hard to implement?.

    Hello @sinosoidal
    Any chance of seeing that happening?

    Is there a way to export and import projects from LK to the external file system so that they can be managed (put in folders), backed up, or moved to other devices ? In the save dialog is the option "export as live set", but although I am not an Ableton user, this looks as if it is only for A Live and cannot be reimported. And I notice some kind of down arrow / download icon to the right of "Bank" when the project list is shown. Pressing on it opens a file dialog, but no idea what this is about. BTW: I am talking about the standalone version of LK.

    Hey @sinosoidal
    There’s an exposed parameter in LK for arming tracks which I’m trying to use in Loopy.
    Is there a similar one for disarm? I was kinda hoping it might arm if I sent a value of 1 and disarm if I sent a value of 0, but I think it just toggles on off whatever value you send? Maybe this is mimicking ableton behaviour?

    Edit: seemingly the same for the global record parameter as well. Would be useful if sending value 0 always toggled it off as well

    The arrow you're talking about is what you're looking for. You can export your local bank (by clicking in the arrow right of the local bank) and it will be saved as a file with a ".lbe" extension. This file will contain all the patches in your local bank. You can then import that file on other devices, with the downwards arrow next to the "BANK" name.

    Right now, record and arm buttons work as toggles, even if you send a zero value. We made some changes when we were working on the midi controllers integration, and to prevent some buttons from turning arm on when pressed and turning off when released we had to make some adjustments. I understand what you're asking, but can't promise that we'll have a solution for that (at least for now). But I'll open a ticket

    Ah I see what you mean. Hopefully it can be added at some point in some way, maybe with separate exposed parameters? I’m working on integration of LK into Loopy Pro and it’s working really well apart from a few little things like this. Hold mode (which I’ve already requested) would be the absolute icing on the cake.

    Still, it’s great to have LK back in my workflow. So many great features like note folding.

  • branisbranis

    @sinosoidal @xglax I noticed today that when you use a scale and set the keyboard to fold to scale, going out of the clip editor and back will reset your zoom setting. The clip will zoom to the full range of 10 octaves for the entire length of the clip (actually only from the first to the last note, not including any blank spaces at the beginning and end). I’m on the latest beta.

    Hello LK is just what I need-using it to trigger clips in aum, but I can’t find the rec quantize button. My main screen contains mode,learn,clock,tempo,project. Should rec quantize be there somewhere? Am I in some weird mode? Also no q button to quantize-help!

    Record Quantization moved to the settings menu. Tap the cog icon in the top right corner to open the menu and turn it on.

    To quantize after recording, long tap the clip with your midi and select Properties. Then in the right side-panel, inside the midi editor, tap the tab with the wrench icon. Tap Select All (or manually select notes to quantize) and then tap Quantize.

    This seems like an active thread so I will ask this question again. I have an iConnect4c with a second gen big iPad Pro on one end and an M1 Mini on the other and I have had NO luck getting the Bridge app to recognize my iPad through the interface. Am I S.O.L.? Has anyone had any luck with a similar setup? Thanks in advance. Peace on Earth and in the AB forum.

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    Does anybody know whether it is possible to let LK follow a timeline? For instance: I have LK running in NanoStudio with the host follow on. I have NanoStudio looping between the 4th and 7th bar and I would love to have Lk running between those same bars (as is possible in Atom or Helium for instance).

    If not possible, would it be possible as a feature request @sinosoidal ?

    Hope LK will support mouse, still hope I can scroll the matrix or inside the clips !
    Is there any chance we’ll get this facility soon?
