Loopy Pro: Looper DAW Sampler 4+

Beyond extra

I’ve been using Loopy since beginning. We’re pretty close. I don’t know how I missed the release on this. I’m still on the seven day free trial, right can tell after hooking up multiple synths, a midi controller, a sequencer, a mixer, and an audio interface that this app is legit. looping is rock solid. Easy to use and intuitive. It’s so quick to lay down ideas. Being able to organize the pads… being able to organize almost the entire screen… in any way that I want opens up so many possibilities. I have no excuse for not having a feature or a set up that I want. Unlike every other app that I’ve ever used, I can set the interface up exactly how I want it. I can connect my audio interface, my sequencers, pretty much everything and interact with it in ways that I wanna interact with it with so little fuss. To provide a little context, I’ve been using Ableton live for over a decade and a half. My sequencer of choice is an electron digitakt, however I am also very familiar with akai Mpc as well. i’ve been around, and used a lot of music equipment. i’m not saying loopy pro does things better than anything else. What I am saying is that it does what I want to do, it does it quickly, it does it easily, and so far it works reliable. I’m not using a new iPad. The iPad I’m using is several years old, and not one crash. This is ridiculous. Get. Loopy. Pro.

Thanks so much!

It’s to much FUN!!!! 🎶🎸🥁🎺🎤🪘

I’ve never had so much fun with music before. I have always loved music and envied just how good some musicians are. I just know I could never be that good. I’ve tried for thirty years now. I get to a point were I learn how to play a new instrument but never master anything the talent just isn’t there. So over the years I have collected just enough knowledge on 5 or 6 of them to make some thing sound okay. With Loopy Pro I can take 5 or 6 instruments that sound okay and tweak and rearrange correct pitch, speed and tempo add FX bus sounds together. And create my own on screen controls quickly and intuitively then assign actions to those controls to control just about anything you can think of. Or map midi instruments and actions to your own controllers. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on music software over the years and never had more fun or been able to create anything so quickly and easily before. I think I like it so much because it’s so customizable you can make it look and function any way you like. I’ve never been able to learn a new music software so quickly. And I’ve never been so impressed with the support you get from the developer himself. I’ve asked a question on a facebook group about how to do something in the App. And the developer himself will respond to me. 🤩I Love It!!!

Thanks heaps! That’s great to hear!

The mothership has arrived

This is what I’ve been looking for in my journey of iOS music software as a hub for live clip launching and looping. Although there are features to use as a full DAW (that I’ve not yet explored), the possibilities for live set up, looping, clip manipulation are endless. Especially since it integrates AUV3s so well. This is as close (and in some ways better) as you will get to ableton live for the iOS.

This software, although simple and colorful in appearance is very deep. So beware, it will take some time to figure out how to customize and learn your way around this. It’s easy to get lost in the weeds and frustrated. I almost considered a 4 star review as I’m learning (and sometimes getting lost) on all the functions, but this is still just head and shoulders above any clip launcher or looping software that’s on the iOS. You also have a very responsive support network for troubleshooting and a developer that is responsive and committed to continue to make this even more awesome. I am certain this will keep getting better and better. Quite frankly, I never write reviews but I’ve never been as excited about, not just a live performance tool, but a truly creative platform for making music on the iPad. This is a game changer.
