Loopy Pro is here!

Here’s a track I have in the works, looped live in Loopy Pro.

This is all done using AUV3 music sources, with different octaves from the lpk25 filtered to different synths.

It gets a bit distorted in places. I’m still trying to work out quite a few things.

The drum loop is using retrospective recording, where I grab the first 4 bars of the quantized playback in Drambo - means I don’t have to worry about super sharp timing. The bass and chords are both set to start recording when the source audio is over a certain threshold. I set the length in bars beforehand so I didn’t have to worry about stopping the loops.

This took quite a few takes! I need to sharpen up my looping game!

Lol. I feel that plenty of 'non-looper types' are gonna be changing their workflow to incorporate Loopy Pro- myself included. Can only be a good thing really...

Good track . Strong UK vibes. Hints of UK garage/2 step, Burial, electronica. Cool.

@Michael_R_Grant @espiegel123 thank you!

I hadn't grasped the concept of "count out" or "master clock length" (I think I mixed it in my mind with something like MIDI clock/tempo), this helped a lot

I added this quickie page on the wiki:

in the Apple settings/Loopy Pro you can disable the mic.

I only now noticed that the "CircleSongs Tutorial" example project contains a nice setup with sounds and spoken tutorial about using loops, which you can follow number by number.
Great!

Thanks.. I’m somewhat happy Drambo’s update has not hit.. This needs my full attention..

Goodbye Launchpad app?

You can set quantisation per individual loop so I think you can achieve what you want. Suggest you download and try before you buy!

Ok thanks I’ll look into that. Do you mean there might be a “no quantisation “ option which is what I will need. I realise that wanting things to NOT sync up with each other is anathema to most looping/sequencing software/hardware, and will confuse some forum members, but that really is what I want!

Yes, you can set loops to be free rather than 'Phase Locked'. Also, you should explore the record and play quantisation options to configure how you want to start and stop loops. You can record an FX tail after the loop ends, and an intro before the main body of the loop starts, too!

Yeah, all these things! It's simply amazing how many options you have to start/stop loops. Download and try for free?

Does the retrospective looper let you select the length of the uhhh, captured retrospection, after you have already been retrospecting, ala the Endlesss advanced looper setting?

I ask because I don't want to be blow my 7 day trial just yet.

Thanks. Yes that works but seems like a weird workaround no? What if I want to work with a bunch of audio and then I spontaneously want to add some voice? Do I really have to go into settings and enable the mic and then back into LP and then carry on jamming? Is there really no way of quickly achieving this within the app? Seems counter-intuitive to me 🤔

You can indeed set the length of the loop beforehand. Just swipe up on the donut and set it there. It works beautifully with 1 bar, but I’ve had some problems with 4 bars for some reason.

I've searched this thread but couldn't find an answer to my question. I'd like to use a custom dial to control an AU instrument parameter.
While this works for AU effects, when selecting Dial -> Value change -> Audio source actions / Adjust parameter (so selecting an AU instrument), all I see is gain and balance and no AU parameter at all. Tried with 3 different AU without luck.

Only workaround is to send MIDI CC messages which is rather cumbersome.

Any insight? Thank you!

Read the reply before that.
You can re-add the mic at every time.

Yes I did, apologies for not acknowledging your response.

Figured it out now, thank you

Does anyone 'in the loop' know if full midi-recording and editing and AUv3 automation will be implemented during the first 12 months or will it be one of the first features to pop when it's time to pay after the first 12 months?

It is set by the master length setting which you change in the tempo pop up

There are Mute/Solo buttons on the bottom of each mixer channel. Alternatively you could remove the mic input channel from the mix by dragging it upwards, or you can disallow mic access for Loopy Pro in the Apple System Settings.

The master length is what sets the retrospective looper buffer. The clip length isn’t the way to do it. That is why it was hit and miss for you, I believe.

I know you can set it beforehand but that is not what I am asking. In Endlesss you can choose to capture either the previous 1,2,4 or 8 bars on the fly, simply by tapping the waveform in one of the four quadrants. This is the best thing about Endlesss for me and why I would still use it over any other looper.

Only being able to set the length beforehand kind of limits the free flow creative potential of retrospective looping.

Oh I see! I’m not sure. It seems to capture a bar if you don’t set the length beforehand and there doesn’t seem to be a way to lengthen it that I can see.

Someone else might know different.

Yes, but I think he assumed I was asking the same thing that you thought, size of the overall buffer and not wether or not you could capture a portion of that buffer on the fly, again ala Endlesss. I assume at this point that it cannot be done.

At least if you set the master length long, you can cut it down afterwards, but not exactly ideal in a live situation! The endless way looks great. Maybe @Michael will put it on the list 😉

Not able to test atm but I think you could just setup 4 buttons to retrospective record for 1/2/4/8 bars no?
Or what I have is separate clips for each length. I am certain if you spend some time with the widgets you could figure out a way to implement this that works for you.

You can change the buffer on the fly in Loopy…but if you make the buffer longer, you need to let it fill before it will be able to work. You can even set up actions or gestures to do it if you don’t want to change it using the tempo pop up.

You don’t actually purchase the IAP in the beta, it won’t actually charge you anything.

But if you do like the app (which you will), do consider supporting Michael on this sooner rather than later if possible, he’s already put in a mind numbing amount of time and effort into this.

I will for sure. It's just that I've put a mind numbing amount of time and effort, but mostly money into the family Christmas this year. I might be a beta boy for a bit longer.

You can set quantisation per individual loop so I think you can achieve what you want. Suggest you download and try before you buy!

Ok thanks I’ll look into that. Do you mean there might be a “no quantisation “ option which is what I will need. I realise that wanting things to NOT sync up with each other is anathema to most looping/sequencing software/hardware, and will confuse some forum members, but that really is what I want!

Yes, you can set loops to be free rather than 'Phase Locked'. Also, you should explore the record and play quantisation options to configure how you want to start and stop loops. You can record an FX tail after the loop ends, and an intro before the main body of the loop starts, too!

Yeah, all these things! It's simply amazing how many options you have to start/stop loops. Download and try for free?

Does the retrospective looper let you select the length of the uhhh, captured retrospection, after you have already been retrospecting, ala the Endlesss advanced looper setting?

I ask because I don't want to be blow my 7 day trial just yet.

You can indeed set the length of the loop beforehand. Just swipe up on the donut and set it there. It works beautifully with 1 bar, but I’ve had some problems with 4 bars for some reason.

I know you can set it beforehand but that is not what I am asking. In Endlesss you can choose to capture either the previous 1,2,4 or 8 bars on the fly, simply by tapping the waveform in one of the four quadrants. This is the best thing about Endlesss for me and why I would still use it over any other looper.

Only being able to set the length beforehand kind of limits the free flow creative potential of retrospective looping.

Oh I see! I’m not sure. It seems to capture a bar if you don’t set the length beforehand and there doesn’t seem to be a way to lengthen it that I can see.

Someone else might know different.

Edit: just seen @espiegel123 replied above

Yes, but I think he assumed I was asking the same thing that you thought, size of the overall buffer and not wether or not you could capture a portion of that buffer on the fly, again ala Endlesss. I assume at this point that it cannot be done.

Not able to test atm but I think you could just setup 4 buttons to retrospective record for 1/2/4/8 bars no?
Or what I have is separate clips for each length. I am certain if you spend some time with the widgets you could figure out a way to implement this that works for you.

I think that is still different though because then you are still locked in at that point to committing to filling X bars.

Not if you’re using retrospective recording which is what endless is doing. My super basic bare bones auv3 template kinda does this. The orange clips are standard recording, the yellow clips are set to retrospective record, top row has specific lengths and the bottom just follow the master cycle. Is this not similar to what you’re looking for?

Hello @Michael, I just installed Loopy Pro it it looks amazing! For my use, it may become the main app to then host other instruments and effects apps.

I’m using the iPad with a SP 404 MKII (fairly new so I’m exploring workflows). One thing that I find out is that to record a rythmical sample in the SP and start the recording “in time”, it seems beneficial to have the SP as the master clock.

The reason is that I can start the recording by pressing a pad on the SP, so it starts on time. The opposite isn’t true, if I start an app that sends sync to the SP, the pad (pattern) doesn’t start.

So, long story short, I’d love to be able to use Loopy Pro as a MIDI clock slave, and from what I see it isn’t available. I know it’s hard to talk about future plans but it’s worth a try - would you consider offering MIDI clock slave capabilities?

Midi Clock slave should be there soon. It was pulled out just near the end in order to fix a few issues with it first.

Here’s a track I have in the works, looped live in Loopy Pro.

This is all done using AUV3 music sources, with different octaves from the lpk25 filtered to different synths.

It gets a bit distorted in places. I’m still trying to work out quite a few things.

The drum loop is using retrospective recording, where I grab the first 4 bars of the quantized playback in Drambo - means I don’t have to worry about super sharp timing. The bass and chords are both set to start recording when the source audio is over a certain threshold. I set the length in bars beforehand so I didn’t have to worry about stopping the loops.

This took quite a few takes! I need to sharpen up my looping game!

Lol. I feel that plenty of 'non-looper types' are gonna be changing their workflow to incorporate Loopy Pro- myself included. Can only be a good thing really...

Good track . Strong UK vibes. Hints of UK garage/2 step, Burial, electronica. Cool.

Thanks pal! Love a uk garage vibe

And in the meantime Audiobus and midi link sync (or whatever it’s called) can be used to translate midi clock to link.
