I'm positive Michael will want to sort this out though. He's worked hard to make the best clock implementation on iOS for Audiobus, so I'm sure he'll want no less for Loopy.
I hope all this made its way to Michael over on Slack. If so, it is probably just a matter of his getting to that part of the list of things to address. If they haven’t been reported to him over there, please do.
@wim @espiegel123 yup I’ve been posting to the slack quite a bit (hopefully not too much).
@michael is incredibly responsive and has looked into all of these issues—I’m confident it will be sorted in no time!
Oh my god Waiting with More money & my Launchpad X
Trying to join the Slack thing I get this message. Is this a problem with Slack? (I don't know what Slack is yet)
I get the same doubled clock when sending it to the LP Pro sequencer. The sequencer runs at double speed. Lucky for me the LP Pro allows me to run the patterns at 1/2 clock speed if I wish, so I am doing that as a workaround for now.
@wim been thinking that a Touch OSC template might be a good way into LP for noobs. Like, a 5 page (or whatever) template that exposes all the features. What do you think?
Good to know, thanks for trying this out @wim
Syncing with MIDI Clock includes exchange of MIDI status messages for start, stop and continue. I haven't tried with my Digitakt yet but the current Loopy HD runs perfectly in sync.
Clock sync is different from MMC which I'd be surprised if supported by Loopy Pro.
You'd be surprised if clock sync was supported?
Can bug discussion please be kept over on the Slack channel?
You should have a red and blue flashing avatar and a klaxon sounding off when you respond to a post.
It could be done in Loopy Pro itself. No need for an app people might not have. Loopy has widgets for dials sliders and buttons. All can receive or send MIDI.
Picture the scene: Steve Jobs and Tim Apple are looking at a phone.
Steve: so I've been working on a phone that has a much better battery life. It even has a screen!
Espiegel: Gott in Himmel! Vot is vrong vis The Brick? It vill nefer get loscht and we can add der battery bek pek.
Tim: ok guys, time to take it outside again.
Slack is basically a chat environment used by a lot of work environments. Did you try using a different email address?
No I didn't. I chose the new Apple provided 'hide my email'. Don't really want to sign up for the latest fashion in social sites and I try to limit how often I give out my email. It's alright though I will just continue to post here.
No I meant MMC but yeah I wasn't clear indeed 😅
It was confusing. They give the option to sign in with your Apple ID then don't let you in with it. They sent a link to sign in and that link signed me in directly with no account or password. I can't figure out the logic behind that. but oh well I did it anyway.
In my opinion is Slack isn't something you want to mess with then posting here is fair game. I'd be the same if Facebook was the preferred platform.
Good thinking @ashh, but I can't think of anything TouchOSC would bring to the party. Everything I can think of that you might want to do with TouchOSC can be done in Loopy Pro. It has custom widgets (things like sliders and knobs) that can be placed anywhere on a page. Heck, you can even use Loopy just as a control surface for other apps with no loops at all ... in an AUv3 no less.
You are completely right. I was referring to MIDI Beat Clock Messages but mistakenly called them MMC. Thanks for the correction!
oops. sorry, I used the wrong term. see the post just above this. Sync works, but through MIDI clock messages, not through MMC. Same result, wrong terminology.
I was thinking more that instead of having a menu dive to find a feature, you would have them on a page in Touch osc. Then perhaps people who are having trouble finding stuff would have it right in front of them?
Personally, I think that having a variety of preset templates to cover basic use cases, accompanied by a well-written manual, is going to be more useful than a single everything-and-the-kitchen-sink template, but then I'm an avowed RTFM guy.
I'm seriously tempted to use Loopy Pro to build additional interface layers for my hardware loopers, actually. A simple touchscreen interface that manages loop volumes and feedback levels in, for example, the LP2, which conceals a lot of its functionality in MIDI beneath a bare-bones on-device control surface, would be pretty awesome.
What I think you may be missing is - you can create pages with nothing but custom controls right in Loopy Pro. Any neat layout you could create in TouchOSC for this purpose you could create in Loopy Pro.
I can't imagine what such a page would look like in either app, but I still can't think of any advantage to doing something like that in TouchOSC rather than directly in Loopy.
Don't let my lack of creativity detract from your ideas though.
I’ve been wondering whether Loopy Pro might provide control UIs for Drambo. Seems like they would make a useful pair.
Heck, you can use Loopy Pro as purely an AUv3 control surface for other apps and forget the looping altogether if you like.
Yeah, I use Loopy Pro sometimes in a MIDI slot as the u.i. for a Mozaic script because Loopy lets me build an interface with exact controls I need.
True enough. Just tried it with a simple oscillator, filter and comb filter in Drambo and then loaded Loopy Pro in to create a 3 slider surface for it. Really simple to get working and works like a dream! So many possibilities will be brought by LP, even, like you say, without the looping.
Will try Loopy hosting Drambo next, to see whether i5 has any advantages that way.
Here’s a proof of concept for using Loopy as a control surface. I’ve been working on this effect in drambo loosely modeled after the Shallow Water pedal, always wishing that drambo had larger knobs to play around. Enter Loopy’s beautiful, wholly customizable interface. Magical.
Loopy is loaded as MIDI Fx but it only sees the AUM destination. Not sure what needs to happen for Loopy to show up as MIDI source, but it’s not a big deal. Will have to check if Loopy will run in my old Mini 2. Hopefully there will be a text widget to label the UI elements.
