    This looks better than my initial impression. If Santa is kind I may take a punt on it. One question, who owns any music made with these samples?

    the loop length (in full bars) gets determined when you stop recording. Pretty much the same as how Ableton Live works.
    I actually haven't mapped the record button yet, and I'll have to check if you can toggle recording on the pads via midi.

    yes, the faders can be mapped and you can assign a button/pad or cc controller to toggle the effect.

    regarding playing loops instantly, I prefer that time stretched loops play in sync with the beat. I do however want to add one shot (and possibly note on/hold) at some point.

    Even the stutter effect?

    Yea i meant that playing in sync, but being able to start instantly where ever the clock is running at, instead of waiting till the loop starts from the beginning. You could for example kinda like toggle the loops on and off so that you hear bits of it here and there, or mix two drum loops so that sometimes one is playing and then switching to other quickly without waiting till the loops clock is at the beginning

    Especially the stutter effect :-)

    What you want to do is muting loops whenever? you can do that with the mute buttons (which mutes the entire track but it's somewhat of a workaround)

    the loops have the same license as any other purchased loops. Essentially, you can use them in your own productions, but you can't resell them directly.

    Thanks. I don't use Ableton. Does this mean if I'm shooting for a four bar loop, I can hit stop at any point within bar four and it will quantize the stop trigger to the start of bar 5?

    For recording via MIDI, ideally, I could toggle record mode from a button or foot pedal and then toggle any clip from something like a launchpad and have that clip start recording.

    yes, all loop recordings are quantized to full bars.
    And yes to the recording triggering via midi should work like that (but I don't think it's hooked up yet). I'll get on that....will have to wait till after christmas though, since apple doesn't do any app submissions from 23-27th.

    Sonic would it be possible to add sidechain

    @kobamoto said:

    possible yes. Also adds some complexity (mostly in the UI). Workflow suggestions are welcome, to not lose simplicity.

  • kobamotokobamoto

    would be great, there is some room in the fx section below the xy screens or something really coo might be
    when you choose side chain from the fx section menu the x/y pads could change to side chain pads where you select the pad/pads that trigger the sidechain and choose the other pads that are effected.

    or maybe put the sidechain button next to the EQ/fx/delay/reverb buttons at the top, there would be room if those buttons were just a smidgen smaller and then still doing the rest of the description above. Having the x/y pads turn stay looking exactly the same but turning into a sidechain matrix is something I haven't seen before , I think it would look great and create a new way to visualize sidechain control.

    Fair enough.

    @sonicreef So I just picked the app but it only appears in the Input slot of Audiobus. So it seems you can technically record directly into a pad but only with an external instrument using either the iPad microphone or the input from your audio interface? I can record internal app audio since I have an iConnectAudio4+ and can use the ICA4+ extensive audio routing but people who don't have it will not be able to record app audio.

    Could you add Audiobus Output slot and possibly being able to set it as an IAA host? IT would be really nice to be able to launch the app and then use AUM to send different app audio into the each pad in order to record the audio.

    thanks for the updates though.

    right he be. Will look into it

    Nice!

    Does it time stretch or pitch shift when changing tempo?

    Nice! But is it time-stretching or pitch-shift? Or there is an option per loop? :)

  • lukesleepwalkerlukesleepwalker

    It time stretches (keeping pitch).

  • KorakiosKorakios

    @lukesleepwalker said:

    Thanks! Maybe adding an option for pitch shift (useful for drum and lower CPU usage would be great!)
    I would normally wait ,but I'll buy it now and hopefully it would get an update soon allowing sampling from other apps!
    BTW ,since it's on AB it should support state saving

  • sonicreefsonicreef

    it also pitch shifts. Either chromatically, via the keyboard mode, or smooth pitch changes up to 2 semitones higher or lower.

    But there isn't a default toggle for time stretch vs pitch shift with tempo change, right? The pitch shift via keyboard is very cool, regardless!

    Hubba hubba what now? Does this mean you could record, say, a single C piano note to a pad and play it chromatically via MIDI keyboard? Or is it more for pitch shifting loops on the next bar? Can you transpose more than one pad at a time?

    2 minute video candidate?

    yes, you can change a loop's pitch on the fly while it's playing, with both purchasable loops as well as recorded or imported loops. It's shown in this video, at about 0:20.
    https://youtube.com/watch?v=b6vD3jSjCG0
    You can't control the loop's pitch via Midi keyboard (yet).

    @lukesleepwalker said:

    well, the time stretch happens automatically, so each loop is aligned with the beats and tempo. You can double or half loop lengths of recorded or imported loops, in case their timing got estimated wrong.

    The pitch shifting is separate from that.

    you can'y transpose more than one pad at a time. It's a cool feature request, and I've thought about it before, but I haven't found an intuitive way to accomplish it yet.

    Is this useable as an actual live looper for on the fly looping of guitar tracks etc? Is panning in the planning? And how about solo buttons or long press on mute = solo? Also any way to trigger a whole row of tracks? Also would be nice to have an undo. And some indication of the original pitch. And would be nice if it was universal!

  • KorakiosKorakios

    Found some glitch if you double tap a loop. It sounds a bit strange (like playing twice and flagering)
    @Munibeast there is pan per loop :) But
    Pan causes zipper effect while moving.
    Also in the edit section of the pad it shows the name , the number of the loops and bpm but you can't edit anything.

    FR :
    Double tap on loop and stop/start immediately
    Double tap on fader and restore original value
    Polyphonic pitch shift. The algorithm sounds great!
    More key range to crazy pitch shift for fx.
    The tape stop effect is nice but I would prefer much longer duration until it stops .
    Also some internal audio re-routing to make the FX affect the Reverb and Delay .
    Speaking of delay ,maybe adding a tape delay with crazy warm feedback?

    Suggestion:

    • From the app an option to set transpose default value per loop ( on pad edit mode ) and set a group where the onboard keyboard would affect the transpose of those loops.
    • For external gear ,MIDI has 16 beautiful channels! An option per loop which listens to specific note events channel. You can control 16 loops. More advanced option would be setting different midiport for each 'deck', but I don't think anyone would want to transpose more than 16 loops!

    I'll come back for more! Nice app!

    live looper yes. Recording can't be triggered via midi yet though (which I imagine is essential for recording guitar). I'll add in the next version.

    Maybe the idea of groups can be introduced at some point. Or, possibly simpler, rows.

    How do we record audio directly into the clips? Is this possible? I would truly adore that
