    Yup, Michael's right there; all the updates so far have been free. 1.1 will include some major updates which are free, and some which are going to be covered by the upgrade, if it's been more than 12 months since original purchase. I'm hoping to get 1.1 out within a month or two.

    I can confirm 1.1 is an absolute banger 👍

    Midi loops\Clips.. with Key/Scale transpose (Global) would be…. Revolutionary..

    Hey Guys, hopefully someone can answer my question: Can I use Rozeta's LFO to control cutoff of a high pass filter?
    I've added a midi track with rozeta and that goes into virtual midi, I then midi learn and tap on HP and match the CC13 from virtual midi to control the cut off parm on the HP, but it doesn't modulate it.
    Am I doing something wrong / have I missed a step?

    Can you post screenshots of how you have it set up? Are you trying to control Loopy Pro’s high-pass filter via midi from rozeta?

    Yes, and Rozeta is hosted inside loopy.
    Is virtual midi outside of loopy then? kinda an iOS system thing? if so, that would make sense to send back to loopy.

    Virtual Midi Out sends midi out of loopy. It is used for other apps to receive midi from Loopy. It is the port other apps see as Loopy Pro.

    So, still no success in controlling Filter cutoff via Rozeta LFO, both are hosted in LP. I've mapped virtual MIDI out to filter cutoff as CC13 ch1, same as Rozeta LFO 1 is sending (I've also pressed play on LP transport and Rozeta LFO animating).

    here's screenshots of I've how set it up:

    Just tried this and I can’t get it work either. I added Rozeta LFO as midi and also a Miditools Bus (in case that would help). But on the “midi learn” none are listed as devices…

    Thanks for confirming! I guess Virtual MIDI does support CC, not just note data.
    [EDIT] - I 've managed to map Rozeta LFO CC ---> TAL-U-NO-LX inside of LP. Guess it's a limitation on the the LP stock filters?!?

    There are two different ways of using MIDI in a host like LP. One is the "normal" way where you route MIDI from one app into another. The receiving app, like a synth, expects MIDI and responds. The other way is what AUM calls "MIDI Control", and Audiobus calls "MIDI Learn". This allows you to use MIDI messages from outside the host to control AUv3 parameters via MIDI mapping. Those other hosts allow you to route internally-generated MIDI to MIDI control, but Loopy Pro does not.

    So, you need to load another app (from the Home Screen, not in LP) that can echo its MIDI input, route the generated MIDI to the external app, and use the incoming messages to control AUv3. StreamByter is one such app. Load it, route the MIDI to the StreamByter input port, and receive it back from the StreamByter output port.

    Note that LP's Virtual MIDI in and out ports are not involved in this. And MIDI ports are unidirectional (one way), so LP's Virtual MIDI out port is not connected to its Virtual MIDI in port, though they have the same name. (The AUM dev recently caused AUM's virtual ports to appear as "AUM Source" and "AUM Receiver" in the host's routing matrix, trying to reduce this confusion.)

    How are you bouncing the MIDI back into Loopy Pro? The article I linked to explains that you need to bounce the MIDI sent out of Loopy back into it by using something like Streambyter as a standalone app or miRack or MiDi Tools’ MIDI Route.

    Tahiche if you use midi Route, did you set it to send the midi to virtual midi in? Midi route routes between ports it doesn’t have a port of its own

    Question... Projects created in LP standalone are missing when you open LP in AUM (as a tool). I don't understand why this is happening. And where are the projects created in LP saved when it is open in AUM?

    Due to the way AUs work, they cant use he parent apps hind folder but use a folder the OS doesn’t expose. In the project browser, is a special folder where the AUs projects are. More here:

    I think it is also mentioned in the manual.

    Sorry if this was answered already (probably many times), but this model is still fairly new and there is some fog in my head...
    Some of my assumptions:

    • IAP enables 1y updates
    • some recent posts suggest that a bigger update is on the way (which is probably a good jump in point or a good reason to extend updates for another year via IAP)

    LP was released >1y ago...
    so, does it mean that atm:

    • the supportive core (purchased on day 1) is already on their 2nd cycle ?
    • some users (purchased on day 1) are waiting with the 2nd cycle for the big feature add and unable to update in the meantime ?
    • or all recent updates are maintenance, therefore every existing user on their 1st cycle qualifies ?

    I wasn’t following the details of each update, but to me it seemed that even recently things were added or tweaked rather than ‘fixes only’, which made me question my understanding of this model.
    Hoping that someone can help to clear this mess in my head :)
    (or just point out that I’m overthinking it) :

    My understanding is that some of 1.1’s new features will be part of the base and won’t require a new update IAP and some new features will be part of an update IAP.

    The core features and bug fixes to them aren’t subject to any cycles.

    Still lost though... this only introduced an additional distinction (feature vs core feature) :D

    I guess it’s safe to say that not many (maybe no one?) ‘renewed their update plan’ because there was no reason to -> this annual cycle is more of a guideline/intent.

    It used to be simple to understand what are you buying :)

    There hasn’t been an IAP yet to update. Everything added so far is a permanent addition to the core feature set.

    What isn’t clear about the features you are buying?

    As I understand it, WHEN a paid feature is released, you will get it IF you bought the IAP within the last 365 days. If it has been more than 365 days since you bought the IAP, you will need to pay again, which will entitle you to all paid features released in the next 365 days.

    I unlocked LP on day one and will need to pay again if I want the new features, but someone that just picked it up last month should get them for no additional cost. I think.

    Beyond that, it’s up to the dev which features are paid and which are included with the base unlock.

    Definitely worth noting that I don’t have any special insight into anything — I just follow the Facebook group and pop into the Discord now and again!

    I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure this is the situation.

    1. The 12 month re-up hasn't been implemented yet. The question of whether of not people have decided to update is premature at this point.
    2. All features currently implemented are included right now regardless of how long ago you purchased.
    3. When the IAP is introduced, there will be some new features that will require the update if you purchased more than 12 months ago. If you purchased less than 12 months ago, they will still be available to you without the update.
    4. Then it will be a rolling 12 months from the time you purchased the IAP during which you'll get any and all updates. If you didn't purchase the IAP you'll still get updates, just not new features, until you do.
    5. All feature additions during the next 12 months after the purchase will be included.
    6. All existing features plus bug fixes will be included whether or not the purchase is made.
    7. There will be a 7 day trial period for the new features without having to pay for the update.

    I hope that's accurate.

    Need app to work as a recording place in AUM but its got a mathematical statistic crash of about 50%.

    When loading and when you press play in AUM.

    Havent gone through settings. Just made it 512 bars and copied to every aum template using AUM copy and move but its not that as it crashes with the original.

    Host is 1024 samples. I remember loopy being 512 on an ipad and 1024 on another.

    Crashes with play though. Obviously not usable just as a recorder.

    Is there a way to send data, to find issue?

    I noticed that if you save it as an LP project, then save it to AUM it will then open from the AUM instrument. Still seems a little strange?
