I’m sooooo looking forward to this
Interesting, will this 'built-in' plug-ins also work as AUv3's in other hosts?
Yup
While we’re already at it.. just wanna put this here…
1) maybe allow file import on tracks
2) put a beat sync button in there
3) put a key sync button in there
4) put cue buttons in there
… I’m sure you know what Im getting at ;D

How about you make it crystal clear for all of us who have no idea what you’re getting at?
well I’m sorry, not a native English speaker. In essence I meant:
1) if it is possible to record audio into a loop, maybe it is not a big step from here to add the option to load full audio files into a track instead.
2) if it is possible to have multiple tracks running at the same time, maybe it is not a big step from here to add a beat sync option between audio files.
3) if it is possible to have tracks run at the same time and beat, maybe it is not a big step from here to add a key sync option between tracks.
4) if all that is possible and there would be the option to set cue points in the track, LoopyPro would not only be a live looper but would also allow for some basic DJ work. There aren‘t so many good and customizable DJ apps on iOS right now. And none that I know of that run as IAA in AUM. Now think about the possibilities to have a DJ setup run parallel to your live looping stuff all on IPad Pro ___
This sequencer thing is a game changer.
Will you be able to send midi CC from the sequencer/timeline?. That way you could trigger Drambo, Hammerhead, DigiStix, Atom2 or whatever to change patterns and build a song with rhythmic changes and parts… it’s probably not meant as a full fledged daw but having pattern changes like this would be an amazing songwriting and live tool.
Will you be able to export individual tracks from the sequencer for final mixing and adding more stuff elsewhere?.
Yep to both. You’ll be able to trigger any action that you can trigger with midi or onscreen widgets by adding the action to the timeline, which includes sending midi.

Get this puppy out the door
You started this community and the amazing audiobus
Time to regain your crown

I would really like to see a list of functionality and applications in its entirety. I get a bit lost trying to comprehend it all. I just tell myself that it’s probably everything I could imagine in an ideal looper along with a good bit more.
It’s funny how just about every suggestion for a feature is met with a ‘yup, it can do that too’ from Michael.
Yeah, this is what I was getting at above when I duplicated my question about MIDI AUs—the sequencer is a late (but welcome!) arrival but it’s not clear from the video how extensible it is with other sequencers and MIDI fx.
Your question about mixing was also something I was contemplating last night. Not just export but a quick rough mix like what AUM accomplishes with the record capability. If it’s easy enough then Michael’s assertion that Loopy Pro could be my host of choice looks pretty good—at least on paper. Time will tell!
Like many, I didn’t see the sequencer coming, whoa! Is that the ultimate iPad OS DAW
?
I’d say depending on the musical style, not just a “quick rough mix” but a proper mix!. There’s a ton of tools and apps for midi and Loopy Pro looks like a huge leap for audio, which has stalled in comparison.
iOS Daws are very limited in audio, (except Auria but that’s a different discussion) and Loopy Pro might (wish) force them forward. iOS audio hype!!
So with all these amazing modular apps now hosting AUs (AUM, Drambo, Loopy Pro), what are we going to use to connect them all together? IAA? AudioBus? Something new?
I can see this becoming the new Holly grail!
I am similarly pondering integration with my AUM set
Why do they need to be connected? Different tools for different use cases!
To use Loopy Pro as a performance looper, with AUM as the “instrument” or track that can be mixed between live and looped. This allows for seamless AUM project changes in a continuously mixed set.
I don’t think i understand the benefit you describe. If you prefer AUM then you can use Loopy Pro as an AUv3. But if you want most of the stuff you can do in AUM but with an audio looper at the heart of the toolset then you’d use Loopy as the host. So, in a sense, you can already use Drambo and Loopy as “connected” apps, though AUM only works as a host. If Michael includes most of what I need AUM for (and he already has with his work on AB3), I think it’ll be a very interesting host.
The benefit is that I don’t need every track of my productions to use the same set of instruments/effects, and I can swap entire sets of instrumentation and routing independently of the looper.
Btw another amazing feature would be a way to send loops between instances like AUv3 to standalone. I want to use standalone as a way to loop the previous track as I change AUM projects, and AUv3 inside AUM as a performance/production tool.
For context I make club / DJ-oriented techno where layering is used extensively across tracks not just to transition
I see. Good luck!
For my current setup I’ll probably just have loopy pro as an au in AUM to handle audio clip duties. I just love to experiment so will no doubt try and find different ways for it all to plug together. Can’t actually think of a theoretical advantage yet though, other than being able to host au’s in LP and AUM at the same time.
The holy trinity, AUM, Drambo and Loopy Pro. I can see things getting complicated trying to use everything at once but wow a bit of pick and mix, the possibilities are crazy. Now if Apple could come up with OS that actually delivers that would be great. Thanks.
My strategy for taming this complexity is to unite these (except Djay in lieu of Drambo via interface loop back) in a DJ mixer (in interface - currently using AUM for this, with 4 “decks” across AUM, Loopy soon, Djay). Then you can think like a DJ in terms of mixing the sources, an easily understandable layer of abstraction
Awesome! Just registered but been following this thread for some time and wondering if there is a particular place to sign up for the beta?
I think that would certainly be unique to have all that @seventyfour but it already feels like Loopy is trying to do a lot of things as it is. I expect since it has one shot triggering it may be interesting to add beat repeat button to take it towards MPC style performance. > @gregsmith said:
In theory you could host Drambo in Loopy or Loopy in Drambo, no need for a separate host.
To me, as long as Samplr is still going and neither of the above can’t host IAAs I’ll stick with Audiobus.
Unless you want to host AU’s within Loopy AND Drambo
I can’t think of a reason why you’d want to yet, I just know there will be one eventually 😉
Hi @Michael, will you create a new thread once Loopy Pro is released?
I will indeed
How about when the beta becomes completely open? Because I’m checking this thread every 5 minutes now 😆
Thank you!
