Bluetooth mic & headphones?
  • anonymouseanonymouse
    First time caller... long time listener... (Actually I have been eagerly waiting to try Loopy since early 2009 but have been stuck on a first generation iPod touch... until now...!)

    I didn't see an answer to this question on the forum already so I wanted to double-check... I have a Plantronics bluetooth mic/headphones combo but I can't seem to make it work with Loopy. Am I right in assuming that they are not supported at this time?


    Keep up the great work, looking forward to MIDI and the fx!

    Hi!

    I don't have much experience with bluetooth devices, actually, but in the upcoming update I have set a flag that should enable these, at least in theory. I haven't at all verified it, so I'll be very interested to hear your report, once the update hits =)

    Cheers!

    I have been using the Jambox bluetooth speaker with other audio ipad apps but it will not work with Loopy. I just got the Loopy update today and still no audio send to the Jambox. For those of us who dislike earbuds and headphones, it would be a nice future update to have full Bluetooth functionality. Thanks.
  • MichaelMichael
    Ah, bugger - I was hoping that update would do it. I'll look into it!
  • anonymouseanonymouse
    I also gave Bluetooth a shot with the new update and had the same result. Can't wait to try the MIDI though...

    Cheers!

    I tried with Nokia BT 905i, but it's not detected.

    Any chance for to have independent output-monitoring via Bluetooth?
  • MichaelMichael
    That's an interesting idea (although I suspect it'll be so laggy to make it musically useless - hopefully not, though!). I'll see if it's possible.
  • JuanjoJuanjo
    I think that would be a definitely 'killer feature'…
  • mbeck69mbeck69
    Yes please! Mirroring audio out to a Jambox via Bluetooth would become a key part of my workflow. Thank you for working on it!
  • JuanjoJuanjo
    My point is not mirroring, but monitoring independent selectable audio, in order to 'cue', inputs or importing tracks, etc.
    Maybe Bluetooth could be a way to compensate the big lack of outputs of the iPad.
  • mbeck69mbeck69
    Independent monitoring would be awesome, but I'd be thrilled with just plain old mirroring, as per the OP. I suspect that would be much easier to implement than independent monitoring, though apparently it's not as simple as I'd hoped :)
  • JuanjoJuanjo
    Sure will be some OS limitation…
  • MichaelMichael
    Righto - I'll have a look. I suspect that the system won't allow anything but mirroring, but time will tell.
  • JuanjoJuanjo
    Would be nice that Apple realizes the importance of iPad in the music world and improves the audio with support for more inputs and outputs and audio resolution.
  • mbeck69mbeck69
    Any update on this? Would sure love to see Bluetooth output. Thanks!
  • MichaelMichael
    Not yet I'm afraid @mbeck69, but I have an idea as to how it can be done, and I've completely revised Loopy's audio engine recently, so it will probably be in there in the next update or two.

    Thanks, Michael - looking forward to the update!

    Hi Michael - any update? Looking forward to the next releases!
