  • @Michael Does the sequencer only control whether a loop is armed or not? Or can the sequencer play one shots?

    I have 4 input devices, I want to record them on four tracks 1 track for each device. I would like to be able to select groups of loops for every track to overdub or add to.. aand I have to be able to send rec / undo / next loop etc. with a midi foot pedal and/or a normal MIDI controller because I am a guitar guy...^^ This would be killer on Ipad.. :D my setup would be so damn small <3

    What kind of input devices? What kind of interface to connect them to the iPad? That is a bigger (or at least more expensive) question to get out of the way than the capabilities of the looper. There are already iOS loopers that can do what you describe (Group the Loop comes to mind as closely matching what you describe), and a foot pedal is no problem either.

    iOS devices can only have one audio interface active at a time. So, for four inputs you'll need a class compliant audio interface with at least that many inputs. Midi input would be good too, but isn't necessarily needed, especially with a foot pedal like an iRig Blueboard that works over Bluetooth.

    That's not to say that Loopy Pro won't be the best looper when it comes (because I expect it will be) - just sayin' there are other things to consider. ;)

    I expect the man meant 4 audio inputs. This will be possible with loopy pro AU because individual inputs can be routed to 4 different instances of loopy when hosted.

    Another little teaser:

    (Really not long now!)

    Looks like Loopy HD meets Samplebot here.
    Also, being AU we will be able to open AUM inside Loopy Pro using Loopy in the output slot.
    I hope😃.

  • So legit!!! @Michael is it possible to start the loops at unquantized times on the sequencer timeline? It seems like that is the case based on the vid but its hard to tell.

    Also...I know you don't know for sure, but for my own sanity, do you foresee "Really not long now!" to mean still >=1month? Don't need like a release date, just trying to decide how frequently I should be checking this thread over the next few weeks lol.

  • Will you be able to loop parts of the sequencer, and trigger loops within the sequencer and looping on/off via MIDI? 4pockets MultiTrack Recorder has this and it looks like a powerful addition that I’d love to see here.

    I registered just to get me on this discussion. :P I tried so many hardware looper in the last couple of years but sold all of them eventually. I really find it hard to integrate them in a meaningful way. Tracks, MIDI functionality, tempo, effects etc. In my opinion there is a severe lack in the market for a stable multitrack looper that can be put as AU into AUM. I tried some of the apps already but all were just not there yet.. today I found this discussion and yeah please release this beast soon! I will pay in a heartbeat :D :D :D <3

    I have yet to read through all these messages but I really hope for something like this:

    I have 4 input devices, I want to record them on four tracks 1 track for each device.

    have you tried quantiloop? Its the best iOS looper in my opinion

  • @Michael Sorry if this has been discussed, i just noticed the notifications of this thread were going to my junk folder.
    What does the input output effects GUI look like if there is any. Will you have your own effects and the ability to add IAA and AU devices. Something very important I find is having trails on reverbs and delays. I begged this of Stephan (Designer of Quantiloop) and he put them in which was a game changer for me.
    The delays must sync with midi clock.
    An octaver (voice or guitar to bass) effect is very handy.
    Output effects must not effect incoming audio (tracks only) like the RC505

    AUM is not an AU app but IAA and at least for now Loopy Pro hosts only AU effects as far as I see.

    Yep, one shots too.

    No need for that, LP has its own routing

    I’m progressively opening up beta testing already; next wave shortly. Release will probably be a couple months still, but you’ll have a beta in your hands before then.

    I’ll post some screenshots when I’m back at my desk.

    You can route different inputs to different tracks, adjust gains and monitor state, and add new audio sources – audio units (to which you can also add midi sources to drive them, including midi audio units), or track group outputs themselves, so you can use track groups as an audio source.

    For output settings, you can route track groups to different output channels.

    Will you have your own effects and the ability to add IAA and AU devices.

    Yep, that’s in there. Builtin effects include a very well featured parametric EQ, a dynamics effect combining limiter and compressor, reverb and octave/pitch, and still to come, delay, phaser, chorus, autopan and distortion. All parameters (also for AUs) can be midi controlled or controlled by custom onscreen UI, or via a track envelope for sidechain control.

    Effects can be applied to any combination of inputs and outputs, and multiple instances are handled automatically.

    Something very important I find is having trails on reverbs and delays. I begged this of Stephan (Designer of Quantiloop) and he put them in which was a game changer for me.

    Yep, Loopy handles that via intro/outro sections, which play before and after track playback.

    The delays must sync with midi clock.

    Yep

    Look closer 😉 It does instruments too.

  • By the way, with the sequencer: if the tracks are empty, when the sequence plays back they’ll start recording, and lock in the original length, so you can automate a live performance a la Elise Trouw etc.

    A ha! Got it. At times I wish it had a more straight forward Audiobus style lanes :)

    Wooop, ok then high frequency checking will continue...thanks for the update! Looking forward to giving feedback / making music :)

    I’m currently trying to run an AU instrument through an AU effect, I’m guessing that’s currently not possible?

  • “Comping” where you can later choose which parts of which takes, or at least what to loop within the longer take?

    No, you can do that - just select that AU instrument as the target for the AU effect, in FX settings.

    Soon, possibly not at 1.0, but all of the pieces are there ready for the UI.

  • Absolutely killer

  • really looking forward to trying this out!

    yeah killing me now ,just like aum ,these can push ios (or say computer)music making to another level ,i‘m feeling it

  • Damn @Michael , this is gonna be big!

  • I wasn't expecting the sequencer. So it's going to be possible to build complete tracks with this? Trying to keep expectations in check but this looks immense!

  • @SpartanClownTide said:

    Yep! It’ll have automation too. Looks like it’s gonna be every bit my original vision, or something close to it. I hope! Haha. Mitigate mitigate

  • Sooo in essence you are building daw? XD standalone mode sounds interesting but I have to admit I’m in love with my AUM workflow ^^

  • @seventyfour said:

    Yeah, kind of, but one that is also a live looper, with the spontaneity and open ended creativity that that can provide. Ideally, best of both worlds.
