Loopy Pro: FIRST LOOK

Yes, this will require its own tutorial. Although once you have it set up, visual feedback is soo good. Closest you can get to hardware experience.
The other way to do it, which might be better than atom, is to expose a controller message api via OSC/midi or something similar. It would be two way thus allowing controllers to receive messages. Third party midi auv3 could then send and receive, being a object in the middle between Loopy pro and any device. This would then work standalone and from something like AUM.
@Michael
I’d like to be able to use Loopy Pro in Audiobus because of IAA support. Currently routing restrictions don’t allow me to route a single physical input with its effect to two instances of loopy pro to be then processed by separate effects. Any idea of when this could be possible and through which means? I’m guessing multi-routing support would be one way?
I absolutely don’t want to work in AUM due to its sync limitations.
Also, is there a way to disable live audio monitoring in loopy pro like in loopy hd? Sorry can’t find it!
Re monitoring in Loopy, there is a monitoring setting you can turn off in settings.
Cool thanks….the headphone icon 😅
Still showing off those expert beta tester skillz, eh?
I've gotta say that every time I test Loopy Pro I find another layer so deep that I'm just gob-smacked. The app is clearly informed by Loopy HD at the base layer but, man, this is just a whole nuther thing in terms of depth and supported use cases.
I’d do a preorder for this one.
wait, is the beta out already? i didn t get an email
Hey you could milk it for a bit more, won’t ya?
Seriously though, I’m trying but until I’m able to use it the way I want it I’m going to take the back seat.
I’ve never actually voted for all the features pro is capable of. All I ever wanted was a loopy hd auv3. I know, it’s sad but evidently true
I’m looking forward to all of the magic the rest or you lot going to come up with though! 😬 no pressure
Myself neither.
Oh well.
@Gravitas @eross We will all know when the official Beta is made public. There are a small group of alpha testers who currently have access.
I only commented because the word “Beta” was mentioned.
I have no interesting in gaining Alpha access.
The more it stays with the Alpha team, the less hassle for all of us.
@Michael gets my vote for Visionary App Developer of all time. He has created an app that changed music making, created whole sub categories apps for audio and midi effects and lord knows what else coming up, and created and referees the most important and informative music forum on the whole freaking internet.
Now twice.
All while being a nicer guy than any of us deserve.
Yeah, I hear you. I actually think in some ways it is a liability to have a deep working relationship with Loopy HD because it has caused me to approach Pro as a bigger version of the original, when in fact it's a substantially bigger, deeper, different and better thing. The more I detach myself from thinking "the old way" the more I find and test in Pro, but I'm not sure I'm making music the way I want to yet. That's OK as I'm hopeful that the testing will help Michael with his (deserved) world domination.
If this turns out half as good as it looks it could remind Apple that iDevices are used for making music. They might pull a ‘Alchemy’ with Loopy.
Will Michael sell his app to the dApple?
I believe even if you preorder, the App Store doesn't charge you until the app is released.
[edit] yep ...
Well, everyone can send me $50 and I'll hold it for them until Loopy Pro is available for purchase. I won't even charge a fee for my layaway services.
Yeah, multiple outputs in a chain is on my Audiobus roadmap...but sadly my time is being spent on another project right now... ;-)
No need: At this stage I'm aiming for late Nov release, but even if that slips, Christmas is my hard goal. I'll be shipping the damn thing by Christmas even if I have to just ship Loopy HD's codebase with a Loopy Pro icon 😁
(that was a joke I would never do that)
Thank you!
Nope, very soon for the beta, but I've got a few more bugs I wanna nail.
Aww, bless.
Interesting! If there's anything you're missing, or anything that isn't working the way you'd expect, do get in touch.
I am just wondering if I will be able to mimic the 'FX printing' or resampling like you can in Endlesss... ?
Same. exactly the reason I asked about Look-ahead looping in that old thread. Seems so, but we'll see in practice. Maybe someone that has used both can chime in?
Yep: you can add colours (track groups) as an audio source.
@Michael said:
Nah, nothing that I haven’t already sent you and I’m sure the music making will all fall in place in due time. It’s more like i sit and stare at these beautiful arrangements of colors and shapes and just enjoy the possibilities visually and from a sound perspective. It’s engaging in a way that’s similar to the KRFT app but the overall features are more powerful and flexible.
Got it 😄
I’m a big fan of Endlesss, and Loopy Pro replicates the parts of Endlesss that I like the most but offers way more flexibility and power—outside of the social/sharing aspect of Endlesss obviously.
Interesting… yah I was never into the social/sharing part of Endlesss very much. Hmmm, everything is quick and integrated with Endlesss, plus I do like the FX (with the quick x/y pad etc). Very curious how this could possibly work as well with hosted AUs and such.
Every time @Michael replies here, I anticipate an hour delay in "time to ship" the app. But @Michael probably trades this marketing effort for 1-2 additional sales on release. Good for him but frustrating for
those that have been following his hints about release dates...
Things will improve when the beat testers can start answering the questions and we can skip the
requests for additional features for now and start that dialogue after it ships.
I suspect @Michael slowly realized he could add the right features to replace DAW's with a new approach that's closer to some of the desktop tools. Maybe someone can characterize this Audio Looping approach to workflows in Ableton... I'd be curious to know if this addresses any of those requests. I realize Ableton shipped in 2001 so the comparison is probably ridiculous but I'm not aware of any other DAW's trying to enter the IOS market.
What will be really cool is if Michael's AUv3 feature set drives a secondary market in apps that slot into the paradigm to complete the platform like AUM did for MIDI FX, synths and complex FX apps.
What's sad is that the price of a DAW will prevent so many from participating but this might be the DAW
that breaks my dependence on AUM since I always choose the path of least resistance to painlessly
produce something.
Anyway... I'm hoping for a Black Friday ship because I already own everything worth owning and the
only thing that could go on sale might be @LuisMartinez "Indian Drummer" but those sales usually (when
offered) last for hours... not days.
That’s cool, so you could add multi-routing to that ‘other’ project 😬
I have a question about looping: when I’m practicing I often have the problem that loops don’t connect very well. so it would be fine to have a pause of one or more measures at the end, optionally with a count-in. Is this possible?
Every day I wake up hoping that the beta email will be there, so that I can set my lunchtime aside for diving into Loopy Pro. I'm sure it will happen when I least expect it!
