I'm pretty sure I read on here that Loopy is not enabled for use with Bluetooth headphones and I guess that may be the case with Bluetooth speakers?? I have a Bluetooth speaker that works fine with GarageBand, not with all music apps, but here I'm concerned with Loopy playing well with it. Is this on the feature list? Or is it already enabled and I'm just boneheaded about it??
Love the app though...L * O * V * E it.
Hi. I really dig Loopy HD, but am having some issues which are preventing me from using it live - I have the startup bug, and am forced to delete the autosave every time, but even worse it often becomes frozen, unresponsive, until suddenly all the button presses initiated since the freeze all hit at once (which is always a mess). Often when it locks up, I have discovered that plugging things in/out, of either the phones or dock, will bring the responsiveness back.
I use the program in two ways, on ipod touch 4th gen: with my "Kaossturbator", midi synced to a Kaossilator pro/KP3 looper setup with an irig midi dongle, Loopy loaded with drum beats to mix and match, & velcroed to my "Podcaster" guitar, doing audio looping and drum loops with Thumbjam and guitar into a mini mixer, then Loopy via an Ampkit Link audio jack.
I have great fun pulling these things out at your basic open mic type places and blowing minds with all the marvellous noises, but it has managed to freeze up the last few tries, and I will unfortunately not use Loopy again in public if this sadness persists! Any assistance you can offer would be most welcome, thanks, Mike.

If I clear all tracks in a session one by one, the tempo gets reset. If I clear all tracks with the same named binding, the tempo remains. I think the binding should reset the tempo like when you clear tracks one by one.
I'm looking for a way to use a session template with pans all pre-set. If I reset session, the pan settings are removed (not wanted). So the clear all tracks binding is the most logical way to create a new song within the same session and keep the pan settings, but the tempo from the previous song remains.
I'm using an iPad Air with no audio interfase and Loopy HD. I'm having big latency issues trying to record with onboard microphone. I have restarted my iPad and made sure it's the first program I open, still fails...
I have tried GarageBand for iPad and it does not have any latency at all.
Could you please advice what else should I do?.
Hey, guys. So, I have acquired the Loopy HD for my iPhone 5 few months ago.
Since then I used it quite a little, 'cause every time I record something with the built-in mic, it plays back clipped.
I tried to use the mic of the earpods from Apple, and it does not clip at all. But, it isn't the sound quality you would expect in an app with "HD" in the name. I talked to them about refunding and returning the app and they said that should be a problem with the app. I don't want to buy an external mic to make the application work the way it should.
What can I do?
Hi, I am using Loopy connected via midi to a roland mc 909 sampler (drum machine), at the beginning it was working perfectly (I have loopy configured to receive clock input information from 909). As I said it was working perfectly but now the midi clock on loopy has gone crazy!, when I press play on the 909 loopy starts with it but they loose syncronity and loopy's metronome starts changing every second. Please help me get them working right again!
So I've been using Loopy for a few weeks now and I keep running into a recurring problem. Before describing the problem I'm going to give you my set up:
Instrument/effect apps (music studio, tone stack, etc.) running through audiobus into Loopy HD on an Ipad 2
M-Audio Oxygen 49 midi controller as well as M-track audio interface which is connected to a mic and bass guitar, all connected through a powered usb and camera connection kit
So my problem is this: Often times (and more currently almost every time), when I am using Loopy, all of the sudden the sound will become extremely distorted/unusable and delayed and consistently skipping, like the ipad is glitching. The best thing I can compare it to is an extreme buffer, or extreme lagging.
It's not even like I'm running a ridiculous number of apps. Often times this will happen when all I have open is one instrument app running through audiobus directly into Loopy and only have a single mic connected. Everything else is closed and it will still happen. If the following may be an indicator of a problem, most of the time when I open audiobus, I'll get a little thing at the top that says either "512 frames" or "256 frames"
I feel as though this problem may be unique to me, as most of the people I've seen use loopy are running a bunch of apps simultaneously through audiobus into loopy, all the while using multiple midi controllers and multiple mics. This is extraordinarily frustrating so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
If I run the iRig directly into Loopy and out of the iPad into either a mixing board or guitar amp I get a slight latency effect - enough to be distracting and therefore not really workable for me. If I use Loopy at the back end of audiobus 2.1.3 the latency is even worse. The only time I can play the guitar through the iPad with really no noticeable latency is with AmpliTube set at ultra low latency which only works when Amplitube is running all by itself. Once its in a chain with audiobus its internal latency setting is overridden by audiobus. Is there any hope of plugging my guitar into Loopy and out into a mixer with no noticeable latency? Thanks
I want to control Loopy with Lemur running on the same iPad4. The apps see each other, but Loopy doesn't seem to sense the "action" of a button push when I'm in Lemur and so won't bind. I've tried both with and without MidiBridge. What am I missing?
Congrats for developers for this amazing app, really great job! But I am having a problem: How can I start/stop a single track in a session? I am new in Loopy HD, I've been using a Vox Dynamic Looper pedal in my live gigs (it has two individual tracks to work with), it's very useful to stop and start a loop from the beginning as you want. Ex: I use to record a beat or a guitar base in a track and let it playing in the whole song, so I record a singing chorus on the other track and keep it, when the chorus come for the second time in the song I play the voice loop and sing together to have a double voice effect etc... I am trying to do the same with Loopy HD, BlueBoard and Ipad Air but it seams to be impossible. I think I tried all the binding combinations. Start/stop tracks from the beginning is really useful since you want to be free to improvise singing and playing in a live gig. I was very happy with the possibilities of my new stuff but now I'm disappointed with my inability to solve this! If there's not a solution for my answer I hope developers are working on it for soon! It's something really simple that is possible in all the loop pedals I know.
Hi! I'm trying to load some audio files into Loopy HD on my iphone. This is done via itunes, correct? when i connect my phone loopy is NOT displayed in the apps folder. I can see all my other apps but loopy is not there. Thanks for the help.
MASTER OUTPUT SELECTION? I know loopy can't support Multi. Channel outputs, I've given up on that as AudioBus will probably be sufficient in the future? with more processing power iPads... but can we select the master output vs. loopy defaulting to the 'system output'? I use a multi channel digital interface but the output will only go to the headphone jack on the iPad. Is there a system setting for this ?
BUFFER: Do the buffer options go down, 64/32 frames with a more powerful iPad chip? or is it set to 128 frames as the minimum regardless of iPad model?
DIGITAL CLOCK Will loopy sync to a digital clock on an audio interface? Is it stuck at 16bit 44.1? Is this system dependent? my Audio interface is 24bit 44.1 but I get drop outs...
Thanks!
I found this [http://forum.loopyapp.com/discussion/comment/6681] from some months (years?) ago and thought I'd ask whether any progress has been made toward making it possible (or, perhaps, "user-friendly") to swap whole sessions with collaborators.
I belong to a community of looping improv singers who would love to be able to add bits to each others' bits. Such a function on Loopy would make that a dream.
Is it planned?
Keep up the good work.
Hi folks, I'm new to loopy and still kicking its tires to make sure it's right for me.
One thing I'd like to do is toggle record with a note on message and toggle record off with a note off message so that audio is recorded only when I'm pressing down on a note.
While the midi binding seem to allow this in principle, I haven't had any success yet by assigning the note on and off messages to "toggle record".
Any hints? Can this be done with loopy?
I read somewhere that one of the new features would iOS8 activating bluetooth in background. But testing on loopy my iPhone 4s 32gb with a bluetooth keyboard and still getting the commands in the foreground. Would have to enable or install any application or more loopy still will not work this way?
I purchased this app and it won't open. How do I either get it to open, or get my money back.
Well, nearly everything is in the title.
Here is a typical situation where this feature could be useful: I have already recorded a 4 bar Bass loop, and now, i want to record a 8 bar guitar solo: - I toggle record for that track - Wait for the count-in to finish - And start playing my guitar part... - But wait, i just realize that i forget to to change the clock length from 4 bar to 8 bar ...
Actually the only solution is to erase the track and re-record it with the right clock length, but it would be very cool, if we could change the clock length while playing: After the second bar of my guitar solo, i realize that i made a mistake with the clock length, so i increase it while recording, and the count-out will finish after 8 bar and not 4 bar .
Michael do you think this is something that can be done ? Or maybe it can already be done, but i do not know how ...
Thanks a lot !!
