@dvi: You can already give the UI elements names that show up in the interface. Open the editing window for that element and click on its title at the top.
Oh thanks! I don’t know why I didn’t see that before. @michael is really on the ball with everything isn’t he.
@wim, @espiegel123, @Jocphone, @dvi, @celtic_elk
Thanks for the inspiration about the custom controls! 👍🏼
(Huh. The below was still in the message field as a draft, so maybe I didn't send it. Sending now just in case)
This is indeed on my list - but while we're talking, would you mind sending me a trace recording? I haven't enabled it in Loopy yet, so you'll have to do it with Audiobus: first enable diagnostic mode in the Audiobus section in the system settings app. Then open up Audiobus, make sure the DT is setup as clock source, and just start sending clock. Audiobus will record automatically.
FYI: I'm not reading anything here, too busy; if anyone needs to report issues, use the Slack or email me
Maybe a silly question but, how can I reverse a loop????? Can’t find it!
You can't yet. It's on the development map for post-1.0 release.
Ouch!! That’s one of the most importante features in my workflow back from the DL4 times…. ! Hope @Michael can develope it soon!
The feature set as it currently exists makes it basically impossible to replicate the DL-4 - something I've been actively trying to do - or most of the post-2000 looping devices that grew out of the DL-4's popularity. I have a feeling that the various testing groups have been strongly slanted towards producers, DJs, and beatboxers, and not so much towards instrumentalists, particularly guitarists, who have developed workflows with existing hardware. I'm intrigued by the possibilities of Loopy Pro, but I'm not likely to make much use of it musically until some of the missing features (which I consider basic) are added.
Sent!
I’m not sure if I agree that the slant is toward electronic musicians vs guitarists but I can certainly see how Michael splits his time addressing diverse use cases. It’s quite a balancing act working out deep looping stuff vs DJ/Launchpad type stuff, I’m sure.
Good point about LUA scripting in TouchOSC. Not to mention OSC itself. In that respect TouchOSC could certainly augment Loopy if either of those are needed.
is loopy gonna have MIDI capabilities too?
if not maybe loops could also be "filled" with AUs like Atom
I assume you’re referring to midi looping. Support for midi looping is planned but not for the initial release.
There are other ways that midi is supported already other than looping. For instance controls such as knobs buttons and faders can be set up to send midi messages. Midi can be set to be triggered when events such as a loop starting to play occur, etc. and of course virtually everything can be controlled via midi as well.
It’s not exactly like that, but yes, midi AUs are supported.
yes, I was referring to midi looping.
that's nice to hear, sounds like this is really gonna be an all-in-one solution
Wow and wow to IAA support and using it’s widgets as a customized Auv3 midi controller.
Will it be able to load it as a host within a host like ApeMatrix opens in Aum or Audiobus?
I'm ready to ditch my EHX45000 looper to travel with an iPad. Can I have an invite?
I'll help out as well as I can, search the forum before I post etc.

Hi gang, I want to ask you, what foot-switches would your recomend to make the most out of Loopy Pro? Maybe there are some better ones, qualitywise and functionwise. Would bluetooth be ok for latency?
Bluetooth midi is very low latency.

iRig Blueboard is working out great so far. Michael has even done some kind of voodoo that makes the switches light up when they should, such as when a track is actively looping. Pretty cool.
I have one more question in me. I've always had Ableton Live with a launchpad as "the" final setup in mind,,
It's just a lot to change everything for a Mac + Launchpad to grind my head against new dropdown menus etc.
+ Every hipster from here to Saskatchewan music technology school uses a MacBook. naturally I want it.
Jokes aside, let me ask if Loopy Pro can accomplish the workflow I was thinking about?
The layout is kind of the same in Korg Gadget and Ableton. I want this setup to finish songs (boy, wouldn't that be great?)
-You place clips below (or after) each other on a timeline and use the Launchpad to trigger what part of the song you want to either Record, Redo, Overdub or listen too
-The ability to record a clip over and over again without stopping, and choosing only the best take afterward.
-The ability to choose the length of the individual parts/loops/clips, and change it as you build your song. Not to necessarily double what's in the clip, only that it would be quick and handy to change the length and do a Redo etc. Just had to ask.
That's pretty much it.
I don't know if I'd want it, but maybe it would be nice to be able to overdub while the whole song is playing through, not just while choosing specific parts of the song.
@_smund : it isn’t known for sure exactly what features will be in 1.0. I think you will have to wait to know for sure.
How is the release date looking? Is it still around late November, or is it back a bit yet?
No new info about a release date has been mentioned in the beta group. It's not appropriate for beta testers to speculate, IMO.
Yes, I think that’s probably true. I suppose it should really be coming from and directed @Michael himself if at all. It’s just that Michael previously stated that he was looking at having a late November release, and he was also saying that squashing the bugs was a relatively pain free and speedy operation, so I was wondering if that release projection date was more or less the same? I know you are busy Michael…… any chance of a quick word on this for the people?
Yeah, late Nov was a tentative hoped-for target, but it was not widely announced for a reason
"Soon" is all I'm going for now – but not before it's ready and good to go.
