I hear that! I have a couple kids myself and while they are older, still live at home, they are quite distracting ! If i could work on music for an hour without interruption that would be a miracle!
Close, actually Launchpad support's in there already. This is an action provider that lets you send MIDI messages to an arbitrary destination when triggered (via an X/Y pad, button or slider on the main screen, via a separate incoming MIDI trigger, or via a follow action on a track, for instance).
Definitely a challenge! We do day-on-day-off parenting with our four year old, which is delightful as we both get to have a solid relationship with him, but it does cut into the work time!
MIDI learn?
What programming language is this?.
Do I need a Launhpad?. Got a question regarding Launchpads... can you control more than one app at a time?. Say you had Loopy Pro as auv3 in aum.
Ugh, I’d forgotten how ugly Objective-C syntax was! Now trying to un-see and repress those memories again… Not sure why it creates such a visceral reaction for me, it just does.
That's Objective-C, using a graphical UI framework that I built from the ground up on top of OpenGL (soon to be Swift) because I'm a crazy person.
Loopy's pretty epic on the launchpad, but you certainly don't need it. Or.. do you?
Yeah, you can control multiple apps from the same device. But with Loopy Pro, why would you ever want to use any other apps? ;-)
Probably Swift or C
Haha, that's funny; I quite like it. I've worked with Swift on other projects, but Swift is abysmal still for anything that touches audio. Goddamn MutableRawPointer, UnsafeMutableRawPointer, UnsafeRawPointerBuffer, UnsafeBufferPointer, UnsafeMutablePointer.. dear god, man
Not easy to read!. I miss Flash/Actionscript3 , it was powerful in the code side yet very graphical. Apple killed it...
Wow that was totally off topic! 🙃
Agreed, if I were creating an audio app I would toughen up and get my head around Objective-C and C. There’s no substitute there. And despite being easier on the eyes, Swift still seems surprisingly unstable given its age, with too many breaking changes between releases. I’ve been spoiled by Microsoft’s stable additive-only approach with C# and TypeScript.
I work with Angular and TypeScript, I do feel like we’re complicating things.
This forum is a constant surprise. Geeks that do music!. I’m like the only I know (in real life), yet it seems like there’s plenty of us. And here we are waiting for Godot Loopy
console.log('we are not alone.');
I know what you mean. I used to be an Angular fanboy back in the 1.x days. The JS ecosystem is the most chaotic and messy by far.
I find lots of synergy between music creation and software development. They’re both creative processes where you create something out of nothing using just your imagination and technical skills. Left brain and right brain working together. Flow state is common in both.
So what Launchpad or hardware with MIDI buttons do I need to buy to get the most value out of Loopy Pro and Atom 2? I'm thinking Launchpad X but open to everything at this point!
Dunno, really; Loopy's gonna work with all the Launchpads. All the modern ones have RGB leds, right, so that's probably the main thing. The X is probably fine.
I hope you wouldn't say these things if betatesting wasn't around the corner... It's killing me, you don't know how many years I was looking for such a solution.
I'd really like to serve this project as a tester as I honestly really think this software will even out some complicated topics in my life in the long term.
Nice! So this is the result of the code snippet you posted? Send MIDI to target on parameter action? Can that MIDI be Sysex?
That’s right. No Sysex just yet; that’s gonna require some annoying UI, so I’ll wait to see if there’s much demand for it
Damn. That is hot.
Can a macro/widget control like that also point at an internal-to-Loopy object like a track's volume? Or maybe a group's volume? I think this was discussed earlier in this thread but I can't find it. Sorry!
The second screenshot's panel label says 'Targets'. Does that mean one can point a single macro control at more than one target? Or perhaps the pluralization is just meant to indicate 'pick on of these targetS'.
Amen for min and max controls.
Can they be set to min:127 and max:0 so that the control might work "in reverse"?
Yup, and a bunch more stuff. The widgets use the same set of actions as the midi learn system.
The latter, but you can have multiple actions defined per widget/midi trigger/follow action so you can still do that.
Yup
Wow. Even hotter. Think that means one can use a single widget to cross-fade between two Loopy tracks/track groups. Which, like, holy yes please.
I love how you people are using Loopy Pro before it comes out!. The level of understanding by just seeing a few screenshots. It’s impressive. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a bug report!.
Yep for sure. I’ll be adding ramps soon too, so you can do it with one button.
It is super spooky! Sometimes I forget @syrupcore and others don’t live in my head.
Hope we see users put out tons of videos of how to use this once it comes out looks epic but lots under the hood. I didn’t find bindings in the original Loopy the most easiest thing to understand.
😂🤣I feel left out. I’m gonna do this with your screenshots and try to keep up!.
Everybody needs a string wall!
Yeah, loopy HD’s binding stuff is a bit half baked. Pro will be much more intuitive.
