Tested out the MIDI sync last night. Worked mostly OK. Sometimes it disconnected and I had to totally close the app and reopen it. Other times, it would LP would start transport halfway through a bar and I'd have to start stop multiple times to get it back in sync.
I haven’t got it yet - I will be of course. I’m too busy with Christmas events and all the rest of it at the moment. Plus I’m off on a rewarding workflow at the moment with a nice combination of other apps.
I’ve been keeping an eye on the threads though. I’ve noticed concern over some negative reviews in the AppStore. I’m thinking that there might well be even more negativity coming given the lack of a manual. If people are forking out £25 plus for a complex app - then many of them will want to know how to use it (despite having a 7 day trial). Fumbling around or searching through sometimes lengthy videos in the hope that they can find what they are looking for or finding a forum to ask and hope they get an answer soon (before several other questions occur to them) is not an ideal scenario for many a dude I am thinking. Some folks like to learn things thoroughly and systematically at their own decided pace.
This app deserves and needs a good manual - and so do many of the people paying for it. I think you might be missing out on a significant amount of future support for it by its current absence @Michael.
Actually just thinking about it, I would probably have already bought it by now myself for an early tinker and to have it ready and waiting had it come with a manual, but I know there isn’t one there - it does put me off a bit, though like I say - I will be getting it in the next while. I’m just wondering as well how many people will take the 7 day trial - but then do not follow up with a purchase because they are having trouble and getting figuring it all out 🤔
@michael speaking of the manual, if you need beta test… proofreaders/copy editing, I have almost this entire next week off, including a 6 hour train trip. I’d be happy to give it a once or twice or thrice over to lighten loads.
That sounds absolutely horrible, tbh. Michael’s pricing plan is much better for users.
I’ve never seen that happen, though, and I don’t recall it coming up on the Slack channel either in all these weeks of testing. If something like that has occurred, he should definitely save the project and email Michael with it!
Waiting for that too, option to wrap samples without stretching them.. it’s very little missing to get loopy be a decent clip/loop/track/stem launcher as ableton does and replace some live hardware!
100% agree. I’m also part colour-blind and have the same challenge. Another way to manage the channels would be a welcome update.
Other than above, Loopy Pro is amazing and is now my main Daw for exploring new ideas. This passed week, I dug into a lot of my unfinished tracks/graveyard of loops and gave them new life! Everything about the app is so seamless and intuitive to use. It’s literally everything I’ve been looking for and I’m very happy to add it to my toolbox.
I left a great review in the Canadian App Store and I’m really excited to watch the app develop over time! Congratulations Michael 🥳
I’m trying to do something really simple with tracks but it seems like there’s only an option in clip/color settings for simultaneous or not recording.
Is there a way to toggle simultaneous playback on a specific color group or clips?
Can you explain a little more precisely what you are trying to do. The answer is probably yes. Do you mean that you want to toggle all clips of the same color? Of toggle all of a set of clips?
One way to do that is set up your clips in a group.
Another way is to create a widget that targets a set of clips you can specify in the action.
Another way (for colors) is to add a gesture that targets all the clips of the target’s color.
Does the Play/Stop action under "Color Group Options" not give you what you need?
I was making the same mistake. Thank you.
@danbobakov
You can just add a button widget
Then add a gesture like swipe up to play all the same colour, swipe down to stop them all, the choice is yours
Build a template like ableton, then add a button to the row or a button to the column to activate
You just need to experiment, you can’t break it, lots of options to do lots of things, it’s your choice
I’m trying to have all clips play simultaneously besides two of them similiar to an rc505.
So you would have a drum track that plays constantly and then a verse and chorus part on 2 separate clips that you can toggle back and forth.
You can rename the Labels in the Mixer for what it’s worth. Also you can add your own Custom Text to the Donuts area. So theoretically you could build out a custom Template for your needs and just use that custom one for all your projects.
If you have one clip for the verse and one clip for the chorus, assign them to a group and set it to "one clip at a time." Playing one will then mute the other, without affecting any other clips.
Ahhh. I see what you mean. A label on the donut. That could be a nice option for people needing more clarity in the UI. Maybe a little LABEL: On/Off toggle in the Clip Parameters Setting Panel.
Also fwiw, you can add custom labels to the individual clips, so maybe create a set of custom Clip styles and just dupe them for your setups and arrange as needed:
I got it. Thank you for answering the basics for me. Can’t wait for the manual comes out on this.
This thing is deep.
Yep. I agree since the label is already there when you provide a Custom Name. It should be a setting to toggle the System Label/Color On/Off in the Clip Properties Panel.
I just did a little experiment. I have a project in my Octatrack that’s stalled. I decided to record the tracks into Ableton, but then I though, I should try this in Loopy.
Recording into both was dead easy. Slightly easier into Loopy, perhaps, once I’d worked out the best settings.
But the main point here is, once I got the loops into Ableton, I couldn’t really think what to do next. But with LP, I can’t wait to get screwing around with some ideas. I’m not sure exactly why, but LP is way more appealing as a place to play. Maybe it’s the iPad. Maybe it’s my absurdly deep collection of AUs (pretty sure I’m not alone in that one).
I love Ableton, but LP is something else. Digging it. And finding it integrates really nicely with my hardware.
Is it me, or was this fixed in the update?
Seems to work perfectly here, now…
Thanks..
