So is there any reason to keep AUM these days? Is there anything AUM can do that LoopyPro can’t?
For one, AUM can handle IAA; multi-output AUs, sidechain. The u.i. for complex MIDI routing is more compact in AUM.
A pretty extensive and friendly midi to AU parameter mapping.
As great as Loopy Pro is, and it is really really great. AUM is a stable mature host with few rough edges.
AUM is currently better at doing many things than Loopy Pro. You can't expect an app less than a month old to have the stability, solid routing, and other things as something that's been around and proven itself to the extent that AUM has.
Many things are more intuitive in AUM too. Also, currently Loopy doesn't support IAA. AUM does.
Odd question if you ask me. Is there any reason to get rid of the Lamborghini if the Ferrari can do all the same things?
✌🏼
AUM and Loopy Pro serve totally different workflows, which is why they are both great. Apples and Oranges really.
Finally felt well enough to take a dive into this and learn the basics
Really remarkable app
This is my kind of “dRambo”, since I’ve never been a modular synth guy
Fun times ahead
Congrats on a jaw-droppingly amazing release! This will most probably become my number one iOS app. Looking forward to reverse and pitch effects and also m1 mac support!
And I can’t seem to find 7/4 or 13/8 in time signatures. Would be great if these could be added in the near future @Michael!
Thank you!
7/8 will behave pretty much the same way; all Loopy cares about is the numerator. Ahh you annoying bugger, now I'll have to add 14/8 as well so it's two even rows! 😆 Will you really use 13/8? Really really? If I add it, I want you to record a whole track in 13/8 and publish it for me 😉
Can we get those tempo settings per-track please? 😆
THAT'S IT I QUIT
Make your own damn Loopy Pro
🤣
Have you experienced that long reverb and delay tails are cut off? I have when using dubstation2, Rymdigare, Stratosphere and FAC alteza.
I have emailed the dev about it.
I have my phones connected to the ipad pro18 via usb C dongle.
I’ll try to squeeze it in to my schedule over the next seven years. 😛
Talking about making another Loopy Pro @Michael. I was wondering if you would ever consider making a Loopy Pro ‘Lite’ at some time in the future - which would only have the basic functionality of importing and looping audio with a few more useful select features thrown in? I’m about to purchase Loopy Pro when my trial runs out shortly (and a work of art it truly is) - but I won’t be using many the features - like live looping etc
I’m thinking along the lines that you would sell a real barrowload of them at a smaller price, and it could act as a gateway to the bigger one.
iOS needed a good AU clip launcher up until now, a Lite version would fill that space and be a lot less complex to work with, it would also be a real challenge to any other budget clip launchers out there and so would likely occupy a considerable chunk of that market. There’s maybe a lot of folk that are reluctant to shell out for the big Pro one when they only want to have a bit of fun launching off some clips.
It’s not going to affect me like I say as I’m getting it anyway (though funnily enough I would probably buy a Lite version as well).
Just a curious thought.
Maybe he wants to play around in Loopy Pro with this one:
That's cheating! Most of it's 6/8! And I suspect it's two bars of 6/8 and one of 7/8 anyway 😝
Ha! Which only proves we need time signatures per loop.
… shot yerself in the foot with that one. 😛
😂
Few problems getting the Roli Noise AU to show presets inside Loopy Pro anyone managed to use the app as of yet. Tried in AUM and showing presets fine? Loopy Pro is not letting me change the preset at present.
Noise has been like this for a while in various hosts. I haven't worked out the surefire sequence for Loopy Pro yet but a combination of waiting and opening/closing eventually brings it to life. In AUM I would eject and re-enable the plugin and it would come alive.
Edit: just tried and it seems that opening/closing/opening the plugin window brings up the internal keyboard which then lets you select presets.
Cheers will give that a go.
You also need to stretch the window a bit in Loopy as the presets are by default off the top of the displayed screen.
@MisplacedDevelopment Got it working after a few false starts many thanks.
Seriously, instead of a fixed set of pre-defined time signatures, why not provide a drop down list, where we can choose the numerator freely? (And the denominator as 2 to the power of x, FWIW.) I mean, there will always be people who'd like to play in 19/16. Maybe not all the time but... why not?
Is the decay being cut off in the loop recording, in tail recording or in live playing?
I haven’t experience it but it is possible that in some cases Loopy is idling the effect to early. You can turn idling off by opening the effect and long pressing where on/off/idle appear?
+1 for 13/8 - I have such a song I would like to play live with Loopy Pro .
(can send @Michael private demo if required)
/4 or /8 seems to make a particular difference to non 4/x meters as it therefore affects the length of the bar & the arrangement .
So (also with reference to AUM comparisons above ) AUM only offering /4 makes some of my tracks difficult to work , & with one track in 6/8 I have had to double the tempo to get things to work (iirc)
Congrats on release Michael, I will be diving in soon .
This exactly
Btw, you can actually record in any meter . as long as you don't need the metronome (which means indicated bpm will be wromg). the basic unit in Loopy is ultimately loop cycles. i have often recorded loops in weird meters in Loopy without bothering to set the time signature. granted if your are trying to sync to clocked synths or other apps this doesn't work.
I need a tutorial on how to read odd time signatures!. What does 13/8 rally mean?. 🤯
Just started digging into this behemoth!
Maybe this is asking too much, but this app is so deep and awesome, so hopefully there is a way to do this…
I set up four colors with four loops vertical per color and the top two and last two of each color ‘grouped’. I want to send vocals, keys, guitar, percussion each to their own color. Why I grouped in twos is to be able to have sections of loops that can turn on/off automatically when choosing another group in the same color. So far, so good…
I have an iRig Blueboard - four Bluetooth pedals.
I have been able to assign each pedal to the top layer of loops…but my hope is to use each button to record through the color in order. In other words, hit button A to record loop 1(orange), hit it again to end loop(continue playing) and the next time I hit button A it starts recording loop 5(orange, next line down), hit again to end loop ( continue playing)…and the same for each button/color. Is this, or something like it possible?? I know there are so many actions and triggers…I dug through a lot last night, but haven’t figured it out yet. Thanks for any help given!!
What does 13/8 rally mean?. 🤯
Most of the time nothing at all, other than a bit of musical self-gratification. 🤷 Sometimes, though, luck and skill lead to something like the Stranglers song above where the result does sound unforced AND musical.
/envy+sarcasm
Most of it is alternating bars of 6/8 and 7/8, and the verses are in 6/8. The more difficult think about it is that it’s in Bb minor, and some of the left hand parts require that you have an additional finger.
