AudioKit L7 - AUv3 Live Looper 4+

Much improved version 1.2

The recent version 1.2 update improved many things, most importantly addressed latency issue!

Metronome has a switch on the main screen now and since it’s animated it can be used as a visual tempo representation without click sound needed (although a touch small for that).

The app should display some info that it is loading. When many loops are used in the project that is being opened it takes a while to load, user is left with just a blank screen with no indication of any activity. It looks as if the app was stuck opening.

Reverse has been added to v1.2 along with the metronome on/off switch that a lot of people have requested. We'd love to make sure you're happy, if you can drop us a line at daniel@codalabs.io or aure@audiokitpro.com, that would be great. We're working with a lot of people to make sure this app is as good as possible. If you'd like a refund, of course, you can do that as well, but if you'd like to stay on board, please consider updating your review as we address your concerns, thanks.

Solid Looper App

Really like the app and the way that it’s being updated. Very easy to get tracks started without overthinking things using L7. Running it as an Auv3 lets you keep the window open for triggering loops, etc. but still manage things within AUM while recording.. a big plus. Effects are also a welcome addition, handy when you need them.

At the time of this writing, it’s limited in what you can do with polyrhythms because of the way it provides measures for you to record on 1-32 instead of letting you determine your own lengths for specific tracks; I would like to see both. Also would love to run multiple instances of this as Auv3 instead of being limited to one instance.

Again, this is a solid choice for looping and I am excited to see what else will be included down the road from the developer. Thanks, good work!

Beautiful thing

After a few hours with this new looper in stand-alone mode with guitar, I am impressed by the functionality, logic and beauty of it. I instantly came up with new musical ideas, just by trying out the various functions. Hooked up to an AirTurn, I can record, start, stop and overdub without touching the screen. When something sticks, exporting to a DAW via AirDrop is a breeze. Even tempo information is included in the filenames. Audio quality is undistinguishable from the live signal. Will try the L7 live in a band rehearsal soon. What I would like to see in a future update: a visual metronome, more gradual control of the various FX, a toggle MIDI binding for start/stop, so there is just one button occupied on the foot controller, more bindings. Thanks to the developers for swift and kind e-mail responses to my newbie questions!
