Loopy Pro 2.0 Adds MIDI Clips, Polyphonic Clip Playback & More
Developer Michael Tyson of A Tasty Pixel has released Loopy Pro 2.0 for iOS – a major update to their über-looper application.
Tyson says that this is the biggest update yet for Loopy Pro, and it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Loopy Pro is like “musical Lego”. You can add loops, one-shots, and buttons to the canvas along with customized sliders, dials, XY pads, clip slicers, encoders, grids, and more. You can use your iPad or iPhone stand-alone, or connect audio interfaces, MIDI controllers and external instruments.
Here’s what’s new in Loopy Pro 2:
- MIDI CLIPS & SEQUENCER
- Record, edit, and play back MIDI directly in Loopy Pro. Sequence beats, melodies, or automate your performance — right on the canvas.
- POLYPHONIC CLIP PLAYBACK
- Play audio clips sliced or pitched across your controller. Turn any clip into a playable instrument.
- BUS-TO-BUS ROUTING
- Route audio between buses for advanced mixing setups and custom FX chains.
