Improvements coming to Loopy 2.0.1

By Michael Tyson | Published: July 4, 2011

Loopy 2.0.1 improvementsI’m hard at work on Loopy 2.0.1, which will include a few improvements:

  • A much bigger bottom display, with paged clock manipulation controls for easier access to the most-used functions
  • A play/restart button on the main loops screen
  • Clearer distinction between muted and unmuted tracks
  • The option to automatically begin overdubbing after first record
  • Import loops from Mail and other applications straight into a Loopy 2 session
  • Single sign-on for SoundCloud, including Facebook link support

Look out for it soon.

Loopy 2 launch – now with real fruit pieces

By Michael Tyson | Published: June 16, 2011

Loopy 2 I’m very pleased to announce the launch of our new app, Loopy 2! It’s a pretty, easy-to-use but feature-packed looper for making music by layering looped recordings of singing, beatboxing or playing an instrument (or banging cutlery together).

It’s currently on sale for launch, so take a look! We’re very proud of it.

Another, more complete, Loopy 2 demo, with singing and everything

By Michael Tyson | Published: March 2, 2011

Bear with me here – I’m a software developer, not a looper!

This is an early preview of Loopy 2 for iPhone (and soon iPad). Six tracks, simple touch controls. Tap a track to start recording, tap it again to stop. Tap in the middle to overdub, or elsewhere to mute the track. Drag one track onto another to merge instantly (not shown in this demo – another time!).

Inbuilt tempo settings (including live audio scaling, if you change the tempo mid-session), full stereo audio, volume and pan settings.

There’s plenty more, and I’ll demo them all in the weeks to come. Subscribe here, or over at loopyapp.com to stay tuned!

Loopy 2′s drum sequencer early preview

By Michael Tyson | Published: March 2, 2011

I’ve been busy over the past few days!

No percussion type icons yet, but the rest is basically there:

  • Full zoom/pan interface for use on an iPhone screen (although this was the simulator, operated with a mouse cursor).
  • Two velocity levels available for each cell (127 volume levels supported in the back end, but not in the interface yet)
  • 12 instruments
  • Custom sound set support, so you can built your own kit from your own sample set and import it into Loopy

This is unlikely to be in Loopy 2.0, but expect it around version 2.1.

A new Loopy 2 feature: Track twisting

By Michael Tyson | Published: February 24, 2011

A new feature of my upcoming looper app Loopy 2 that I just implemented in the last 15 minutes: Grab a track and twist it to offset it in the timeline, and hear the results, live. Great for adjusting minor timing problems, or mucking about with the sound.
