Welcome to the Loopy forum
Hi! Michael here - upon a very good suggestion from a Loopy user, I've set up this forum so users can share Loopy tips, talk about hardware that works with Loopy, show off and get feedback on creations, and discuss feature requests with each other (and me! - We've already had some great ideas here that have found their way into Loopy).
My hopes are that it'll be a place where members can inspire and be inspired, see how others are using the app (I'm really interested in this!), and help to shape Loopy's development.
So, I hope you find it a useful resource! Do drop in and say hello.
Cheers!
Michael

i'm super digging loopy2. i got the iPhone app a few days ago, and of course instantly grabbed the iPad hd version when it came out the other day. i'm loving it so far. i actually just discovered the option of having more than 6 loops in the layout. so that rules. i do have a couple of feature requests, as well as a few videos of my first couple sessions. i'll put those in the proper forums (which i just noticed off to the right there. i'm feeling very observant today).
now my only problem is getting other apps to play nice with loopy. there are a couple of novelty beat-making programs (like madpad) that i like to start in, and then use loopy for the real song production. and i'm trying to keep my macbook out of the chain if i can. (i like the idea of the iPad being a self-sufficient music tool)
yikes. i'm rambling. anyway, thanks for this great app, and thanks for making a place to talk about how great it is

I'd *love* to be able to do things like capture audio from other apps - unfortunately, iOS specifically prevents us from doing it, which is a real shame. Still, if the apps support audio copy, then you can always record, copy the audio from within the app, then paste it into a track in Loopy.
Can't wait to see what you come up with!
What do you think about banks? All the loops of one sequence collect live in diff. banks to activate and deactivate them.
Difficult to explain form me;-))
But great app. I like it very much. Good work.

btw, is there a way to, upon importing a loop off the paste board or from the browser, have the loop be automatically muted right at first? i'm thinking in terms of doing a live set with this and would like to bring in allot of different loops throughout a 45min-1hour period of time... if the loop could be muted upon import, it's volume could be subtly faded in which would make for a much cleaner live set...
anyway, i love the unique feature that you can use two fingers to twist the loop's start point (it does make a cool sound effect!), however it gets tough to twist the loop very far before your fingers turn into a pretzel - any chance for a future update where after starting the twist with two fingers, you could let up one finger and continue to twist the sound around with the one finger still holding?
sorry to feature creep - i don't wanna recommend anything that wouldn't be useful to others :}
You know, I'm planning on adding exactly that feature soon - I'm thinking about a way to make it a bit like scrubbing, too, so that when you stop moving your finger, the sound stops as well, maybe as an optional setting...
Thanks
Ps this is a lot of fun.
Is iRig / iRig Mic being supported? Also, will loop manipulation features like pitch shifting and reverse etc. be implemented in the future?
Waichung: Yep, the iRig/etc works great! Pitch shift, reverse and a bunch of other stuff is coming, as soon as MIDI's implemented!

@Joe: I think I know what you mean. On a completely new session, if you tap a loop and then start recording, it also records the silence between the tap and the beginning of the sound. I have two ways around this (maybe there are more?):
1. Set the tempo (bpm) beforehand and enable count in (is on by default)
2. Start singing *immediately* upon the first tap, and tap again on the next first beat of the bar (trickier this)
The manual says something about hold and release, but I haven't managed to get that to work. Hope this helps, am still exploring the app's possibilities...
(Actually - you *release* - as in, touch up - on the downbeats)
Or, as @Loopyfan says, set the tempo and a count-in.
That's great!! I'm very glad to hear it helps your creative process - I love hearing that
