I customized the cc mapping and settings on mine. I can try reverting to factory settings.
That will probably be why
Yup, that was it! Thanks @Michael. Working well now. Curious if I have two midi twistors connected, will the second one pair with the next 4x4 grid? And also if there are more loops than 4x4, is there a way to navigate to the next group using the twistor itself? Thinking about having an 8x8 template.
Cool! No, not just yet - the APC40 support has a cursor, I could add that for the MFT. Or have a fixed offset
Ohh! That would be neat! I have two midi twistors so I'd love to use both with LP. 😄 Either option would work depending on the setup. For a single twistor setup, using the side buttons could work as a way to navigate 4x4 down the grid. If two twistors are connected, having the top half of the 8x8 grid split between the two, and then navigate down the grid using the side buttons.
This odd behavior has returned inexplicably.
To recap: I want the 8x8 grid to record and playback loops of each color one at a time, like Ableton—tap orange 1, it records one bar then plays; tap orange 2, it records one bar, then stops orange 1 and plays back orange 2.
I grouped each color clip and set to play one at a time.
Now playback is fine—orange 2 playback will stop orange 2. BUT…
Triggering orange 2 recording will immediately stop playback of orange 1 (while orange 2 is recording) hence, no sound until orange 2 starts playback. I’ve muted Source input.
In other words…
Group behavior One Loop at a Time applies to recording AND playback? This can’t be right, can it? If not, I’ll report to @Michael as a bug.
Thanks, as always.
I don’t think this is a bug. For most people people it is important that the playback of orange clip 1 stops when they start recording orange clip 2.
Example. Each row is a group is and different song part. Let’s say I record the verse chords on row 1. When I record a clip on row 2, I absolutely need any clips on row 1 to stop because they have the wrong notes and will be the wrong length, too,
There is the sound of loop 2 while I record loop 2.
@zilld2017 : you could define a gesture or other action with Resorct Play Groups turned off if you want to record orange clip 2 and have orange clip 1 continue playing.
Another option, if you only want one clip per color to play but allow recording is to not use groups at all but use solo instead. The solo action has a context setting. If you set that to Color, only one loop of that color will play. So, you can set a gesture (or other action trigger) to solo a loop in its color.
If you do that you won’t need groups at all.
Yes, saw the solo option in the LP wiki. Will give that a try. Thanks, @espiegel123 .
Hello,
I want to record some guitars and vocals parts along midi clips launch with Lk.
I didn’t find any solution to set a pre roll or count in before the Lk sequence start.
It always start immediately so it’s impossible to record a proper take.
Is there any solution? Or is there an hidden count in settings?
Thanks for help.
There are count in/out settings in the Clip Settings menu. They are described in the manual.
I just realize you answer me in Slack too!!
Thanks for both answers
Is there any way to configure and name the stems when exporting from the sequencer?Or is this perhaps one of the upcoming features?
I like the idea of creating ideas in Loopy and being able to make an actual song structure in the sequencer.
But - until Loopy becomes more advanced as a final mix DAW - I want to export some stems that I can mix somewhere else.
I would love to be able to export colors, either as stems and have them named after the name that I’ve given the colours in the mixer (eg, Drums or Bass), or export individual tracks/loops, or even a mix of these two approaches. Right now, it’s very confusing to deal with the default file names (Track 1, Track 2, etc).
Did you know that you can edit clip names in the track overview popups? To see the list of announced known features , see the published roadmap. There is a link to it in the manual. You can also add feature suggestions there.
Yes, I know about the clip names, but they don’t “carry over” when I export from the sequencer. I’ll put in a request on the roadmap for more advanced control of how to export from the sequencer. Thanks, as always 😊
What's the best place to post feature requests? Discord? The roadmap? Maybe here?
There's one super obvious one (perhaps only to me) so I'll just mention it here too. I couldn't see it on the roadmap.
I frequently don't know which AUv3 instrument to use for a certain part. Having to delete the channel from the mixer to change it is not so great (maybe I've missed another way). But if I were to press the plugin icon in the mixer and the the option to 'replace' was added alongside 'delete' I think that would be a nice move.
The best place to submit suggestions is the roadmap.
Love the SWAP feature in Apematrix. Wish LP and AUM could do the same….

I don't see this idea anywhere on the roadmap. Did anyone suggest it yet on the ideas tab?
I want to make a button that changes the time signature of the current project. I don't see a way to do this, unlike toggling the metronome on/off or playing/pausing the entire project, or changing the tempo using a slider. Is it possible to make a button to toggle between two or more time signatures?
I don't care if changing the time signature would make my loops sound whacky. I clear my loops when changing, anyway.
There’s no action available for that. You can have a button that would transition to an empty project in the new time signature though.
@wim I confess I haven't yet. Been doing the Omicron thing, nearly better now. Feel free to run with it if you like
It’s wild that could work as a solution. I’ll see what I think of it.
Is there a way to gradually ramp up / down the bpm of a project? A manual slider or knob to start with, and eventually something like an automation track?
Say I have a basic 1st loop recorded, 4 measures of 4/4 time. I want start recording my 2nd loop 1 beat ahead of the start of a measure, ideally just triggered by the input audio. How should I do this?
I've tried recording the 2nd loop and then doing the rotation thing on the loop to get it where I want, but that flow feels somewhat contrived for my purpose.
Set the count in to custom with your desired lead-in amount. Phase lock on. When you tap the second loop to record, it will count in and then start recording. If you set count in to one beat, and tap in one beat before you want to start recording, LP will record and keep that recording in phase with the original. For example, if you record a count from one to eight in loop one then tap when you reach 7, recording will start on the last beat and stay aligned with the first loop.
Thank you, @espiegel123 ! I will try this, it sounds much better.
Is there any way to trigger just with the audio rather than set count-in? Is this even feasible, given all the alignment magic LP is already doing?
Yes. You can adjust the tempo with a knob or slider. With the Adjust Tempo action.
You can also do it with a button or a clip follow action and assign a ramp time. Playback quality won't be as good during the tempo ramp due to the constant time stretching adjustments.
You can also set up a button to adjust the tempo incrementally. I find that assigning this to a button with no ramp time, then just tapping the button repeatedly works well and with negligible audio degradation.
