Great to see inspiration like this with LP & LP!

Wow.. that’s what’s about.. Making music.. Hands On..

I'd love to see a time-line recording of that session with each of the triggered pads on separate tracks for easy editing

Mixed in Cubasis 3..

Why not use Loopy Pro’s sequencer/DAW/timeline thingamagigie?

@Michael it would be really cool if it was possible to (it's likely it these are already on the roadmap):

• define channel groups in the mixer, which could be collapsed and expanded, similar to Ableton
• it would be great to be able to not have all effects appear in the bar at the bottom when mixer is minimized

Tap on the eye icon in AU windows to toggle whether the AU icon is visible in the main user interface

• to nice to be able to reorder audio midi tracks anywhere in the mixer view and not have them separated

You can move mixer channels by tapping band dragging the top part of the channel left or right

thanks, i had not realized the eye icon did that, should have thought.

Btw, the Loopy manual is online (while it is not 100% complete it is largely there) and available through Loopy's Help menu.

Not there yet.. still trying to set up a ‘LaunchPad app’ thingy… Such a deep app..😁

I just discovered that there’s a separate Loopy forum. This is the only community site linked to from within the Loopy Pro app itself.
https://forum.loopyapp.com/

There’s also the Discord.
https://discord.io/loopypro

There’s the Slack for the beta which is still quite active, but I assume it’s meant to remain kind of an exclusive community.

And there’s this Audiobus forum.

For those who have spent more time on these, what role do you see these different communities having? I’m in the mode of “absorb everything Loopy” right now, but following and participating in four different communities seems like a bit much.

It is getting confusing. I think the Slack should stay for beta testers. Beta testing will be ongoing and much of the discussion there wouldn't only confuse users of the released version.

I'm disinclined toward Discord, but it can be useful for more real-time discussion I guess.

The Loopy forum requires a separate user registration? That's odd to me.
And I'm apparently not smart enough to get past the f*ing captcha apparently. 😂
And ... no dark mode.
meh.

There’s also a Facebook users group, apparently. It is getting a little bit fragmented. I’m going to have to make some decisions soon!

Side side note, I’ve been trying out Luminar as a possible photo management for my tens of thousands of images, but it is not that great; Picasa used to be ace but is long gone, anyone any alternative suggestions for Mac? - I’ve hunted about hoping for some sort of AI solution that would auto tag stuff, but maybe use not yet a thing…

@hellquist said:

2 months ago there was a Humble Bundle that included Luminar AI, so I went for it, after comparing existing discounts and official pricing etc. Just as I bought that one they announed yet another new version, the follow-up to Luminar AI. I am learning this is their strategy. The feeling I get is that of "forever being behind" and also purchasing a new version each year if I wish to guarantee it still works within Photoshop/Lightroom (which btw is an outright subscription as we all know), as I otherwise KNOW I will be left behind and what I have purchased barely will get functionality/security updates.

Based on examples like that I feel the Sketch/Agenda/Working Copy and, now, Loopy Pro model to be much more fair and transparent. Also I will be sure that the software I have bought will continue to work. My "feeling" when using any of those is one of fairness, both towards me from the developer and the other way around.

Now I'm kicking myself for getting rid of my old 80286 PC with the cool orange CRT and the cutting edge 2400 baud modem running that old bbs server. We could have sewn this up right here and now.

Awww man. I could’ve set up my autodialer to test out different codes on different LDS’s so we could all use the codes for free long distance service.

Guess we’ll just have to rely on our dodgy ISDN to communicate for the next few days until the Wi-Fi comes back online in my Snow covered Cabin in the woods.

How are you guys making this work so flawlessly? I can't even get through one session without weird bugs happening.

Definitely get in touch! Most likely it’s not you, it’s me. If it’s hard to describe, make a screen recording and send it over. I’m [email protected]

Thanks for your attention Mr. genius developer!
I finally have been getting somewhere with the app after attributing most of the glitchy behavior and crashes/lockups due to my home made MIDI foot controller. For some reason Loopy did not like that particular controller. Once I resolved the MIDI hardware issue things are working much better for me now.
If I run into more erratic behavior I will most definitely send a video your way.

Congratulations on the release of this milestone in iPad audio production apps!

Just wondering is there a way to have the MIDI clock follow the tempo when I change the speed or speed and pitch of all loops, so that my drums follow in AUM?

I recommend using Ableton Link.

That does not work. Of course it works if you change tempo but it does not work for following speed clip settings.

I recommend using Ableton Link.

I misunderstood what you wanted. The clip pitch and speed settings are specific to an individual clip and don't impact the project tempo. So, it wouldn't be possible for changing a clip's speed to change the clock/tempo. The way to change the speed of all clips in Loopy is to change the tempo. All clips automatically will be time-stretched to the new tempo.

BladeRunner

@espiegel123
If you bind all clip speed settings to a controller the results are spectacular. To bad that it does not control the speed of the MIDI clock simultaneously. A major oversite IMHO

If you are changing the speed of all clips, why not just control the tempo directly? It will do the exact same time-stretching of all your clips AND update the clock.

BladeRunner

OK....I will try that....thanks for the input. I did not think that would work. It looks like I made a major over site IMHO....Laughs at self.
I see that you can bind it with a CC MIDI controller but I find no way to control it with a widget. Unfortunately.

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.

Just listen to Tool and you’ll get it

Anything you can control with midi you can control with a widget; just add the widget you want to use and hook it up to the action. For more see loopypro.com/manual/#widgets and loopypro.com/manual/#actions (The latter is still a work in progress)

Ahh, this is brilliant 😎 I was wondering if there was any way to make a momentary 'hold to set the send to delay to max' button for some dub-style delay action. Sounds like it's not only possible, but super easy! 👍
Other things I was wondering is what the score is with multi track recording of projects/performances and if there's some way of bouncing a donut or colour to a new loop including its effects chain?

Overall I'm hugely impressed with Loopy Pro. I've tried so many different ways of making music over the past couple of years, but the immediacy and workflow available here is truly something special, so thank you @Michael 🙏

Some small workflow suggestions I'd make after having used it a bit is some way of previewing sample files in the file browser when importing wavs, and a simple way of swapping out auv3s from the mixer view
Thanks again 🙂

You can resample from donuts to other donuts. See the link to the article about resampling on the Loopy wiki:
