Loopy Pro: FIRST LOOK

Ah, thanks.
Hello, is there a video explaining the timeline view? I'm so confusing it never seem to respond to what I put there, loops start before they are programmed and end way after they supposedly ended, is the timeline functional at this stage? I've had the beta for 3 hours
I just noticed that you can host drambo inside loopy pro... and loopy pro inside drambo... wat?
Michael has set up a Slack channel for talk about using Loopy Pro and reporting bugs. Please ask questions over there.
Careful there. You are approaching the inception.
Sorry is there a link for this ‘slack’ channel
I never seem to get anywhere
You'll find it linked here, under "Reporting Issues": https://loopypro.com/beta/
Am I correct in assuming that the the slack channel is available only to those involved in the beta?
In the beta, you can tap on the word beta in the open project screen to see a page with beta guidelines and a link to the Slack channel and loopy forum set up to discuss Loopy Pro beta
it didn't ask for anything to join
Come again?
That is what it is intended for.
Just a quick test of slicer control and recording sequence.

So awesome isn’t it! Like mini mpc’s.
I get that there’s a lot of call for easy templates and starting points for common use cases, but the real fun is playing around and figuring out some of the infinite ways it can be used. In the beta people have been using it so differently, from simple loopy HD type stuff, to complicated layouts designed to emulate ableton’s session view.
And this alongside Drambo, AUM, etc.
Yeah, the secret sauce for me is in combining several of the common use cases in new ways (at least for iOS). So, if you record the sequences as in the mini MPC video that @Mickaël posted but then record new loops on the fly into the source, it gets really interesting, really fast. I keep meaning to post videos but I get so engrossed in what I'm doing that I forget to make videos.
Awesome!!!
Anyone know if transport control from external midi hardware is supported? Being able to record loops started and stopped from the transport controls of the Digitakt for example. Ideally not through a workaround with Midi link sync and Ableton link, a direct connection.
Most things are midi assignable.
@ipadbeatmaking thanks, I see it has great midi functionality but the transport controls are often left out, AUM for example. You can midi map them to a note or cc in AUM but not the midi transport commands sent. Just wondering if the sync and transport is taken from ableton link for external devices, or if it is direct. Direct would be superb.
Ahhh…interesting point. Is the midi transport command hui/mcu?
Not from any of the hardware grooveboxes boxes I have. I've been down that route actually, Auria Pro takes MCU and I got that synced and transport perfectly with a Behringer BCR and the other hardware, but that is a large pain.
@scrufftv I think you're referring to MMC control MIDI Beat Clock messages. I'll give that a try in the beta if no-one else beats me to it.
For the most part, if it works, it will only be for the standalone. Most hosts don't pass along clock and MMC to plugins (AUM being the only exception I've found).
... and the answer is YES, @scrufftv.
MMC MIDI Beat Clock messages for transport control is definitely supported, along with the same excellent MIDI Clock In / Out, and time offset support as Audiobus 3.
I’m trying to send the clock to a Volca sample through midi and the sync is double the bpm so I’m getting eighth notes when I want quarter notes etc, is there any way to adjust that?
Super cool, how are you triggering the grid box samples?
Does the same happen if you send clock from AudioBus or AUM instead?
@wim It works fine in AUM but I haven’t checked on Audiobus yet. I know Korg does a different sync but I’m sending the clock to my interface which is connected to the Volca with a midi cable
I was getting glitchy results using the Digitakt to send clock and transport (MMC). Loopy receives them but funny things happen. Routing through Audiobus is perfect and not a big hassle (digitakt ->audiobus->loopy). I’ve also set three of the DT’s MIDI channels to record/start/stop loops and it’s a fantastic set up.
If it's working OK from AUM that would tend to point to a bug in Loopy. However, when I test to other apps (I don't have any hardware to test to) such as miRack, the clock is correct.
Is it at all possible that you have a loop? That the Volca is sending clock back to iOS? That's the only thing I can think of. If not, then the thing to do would be to see if some of the beta testers can try with the same or other hardware.
