Right.
I think Loopy and AUM, or any DAW has their benefits and shortcomings.
I am on the trial of Loopy. I like a lot of things about it, but i also like the simplicity of AUM. Maybe my brain is hardwired in all these years with Faders and Knobs instead of circles
Christmas Day update with MIDI Clock Sync ==> awesome! Follows my hardware clock perfectly and now modular and loops are in perfect sync. Much better than the MIDI Link Sync workaround I’ve been using for the last few days…
Thank you so much, @Michael, for making music creation so fun!
The mixer portion of Loopy is faders and knobs
And you can add them to your non-mixer page layouts, too.
Mixer page:
I noticed them , I haven't tried it out, but is it still possible to, let's say, an ever evolving midi sequencer like PolyPhase connected to a synth, plays alongside the loops of Loopy Pro?
For some reason, I can't export all the clips from the project-only individually and somehow randomly. What am I doing wrong? Moreover, before exporting, the number of clips is indicated correctly, but not all are exported.
Save to media-Exports normally🤨
How are you trying to export them? There are a few ways to do it.
One of those isn't working, maybe you could post a video or screenshots showing what you are doing and the result?
Thanks!
You likely get those 3 + the headset if you connect one, just like in AUM
(This in practice makes it a lot easier to use the headset to monitor to the recording).
Yes. You can run MIDI AU in Loopy Pro and send their output to any loaded AU instrument.
But PolyPhase is IAA. So then i should run PolyPhase in AUM, and send midi to Loopy
The first way I export clips. But Save media works fine. Via Audio share exports randomly. I haven't tried the other two options yet.
With the selection, too, only one clip exports.
I don't have Polyphase. If polyphase sends MIDI , its virtual port should be visible in Loopy and if it lets you pick a midi destination, it can send to Loopy's MIDI port. If it supports Ableton link, you can use that to start/stop its transport.
What do you mean "via Audio Share exports randomly". If there is a bug, Michael will fix it, but he'll need more details. If you could do a screen recording and make it available (along with an example project that has the problem) that would be helpful. I haven't run into any problems myself (which doesn't mean there isn't an issue).
Have you tried the Save to Files option? If you are sharing to a particular app, it is possible that the app doesn't handle multiple files at once. I always use the Files option -- and, of course, that can be used to save into Audioshare since Audioshare's directory is available in Files. (If you aren't seeing it, you may need to turn the option on in Files)
Is this a problem with all projects or just some?
EDIT: It is important to know if you using the share sheet's Open in/Copy to Audioshare command, Audioshare only accepts one file (this is true from any app). Use Save to Files instead.
See my note above: use the Save to Files option instead and save into Audioshare that way.
Audioshare only accepts one clip at a time with the Open in action. The same is true from any app to Audioshare.
I understood. Thank you very much.🙌
The updated version now works with iOS v12 and v13. I just installed it on my iPad Air 1. No testing yet, but very excited. I've been using Loopy and Loopy HD since iPad 2.
Loopy Pro is:
That’s very interesting - it looks like your iMac isn’t announcing itself properly over Bonjour. Are you positive the network session is enabled and setup on the mac?
FWIW: I just checked and I see Network MIDI Sessions fine in Loopy Pro. (MIDI Fire not needed despite implication of my previous post).
Here’s your issue I think – pretty sure you need to fill this in
True, now working.
(And finally I get control over network session midi, I mean I have now two pipes between iPad and mac)
Thank you and sorry for lame question.
But I have next , can I ask?
Playback colors mixer volume sliders - I can Midi learn them and its working with feedback to controller. the same with donuts - everything working with midi mapping.
But somehow Input hardware audio sliders didn't respond to learned MIDI commands.
Is there a known issue?
Can you explain more or demonstrate what you mean about sliders not responding to midi?
I'll allow it.
In the mixer
BUS strips offers no midi mapping.
COLOR offer volume mute solo bal and send - all midi mappable and with midi feedback.
HARDWARE INPUT and AUDIO UNIT INPUT - here the same, but volume is not responding to MIDI.
Can you explain more (or post pictures/video) about what this means: "HARDWARE INPUT and AUDIO UNIT INPUT - here the same, but volume is not responding to MIDI."
Do you mean that Audio Source->Adjust Parameter->Gain is not working when midi mapped?
If that is the case, does the action work if you map it by hand in the MIDI Control manager in Loopy?
@espiegel123
thanks! as you suggested , MIDI mapping is working (via widgets)
If you could tell me about what didn't work, I'll try to reproduce and let Michael know -- if there are little details not working as expected he'll doubtless want to know.
I’m still stumbling over this one shot issue…is there any way to not sync to a BPM?
Can a pad in Loopy Pro function like a file player set to one shot does in AUM, ignoring the clock and tempo settings?
