Now compatible with Ableton Link, a new technology that synchronises beat, phase and tempo between Ableton Live and compatible apps over WiFi, or between apps on the same device. http://ableton.com/link

Compatible with the Audiobus app: Now you can receive live audio directly from other Audiobus-compatible apps!

While other music creation apps tend to be either powerful but difficult to learn, or easy to use but limited in features, Loopy doesnt compromise. Loopy offers a sleek, expressive, instantly understandable interface that beginners can start using effectively straight away. Its fun, right from the start.

More advanced users, however, will not be disappointed by Loopys rich feature set, with extra features many other loopers just dont have. Plus, a sophisticated interactive tutorial system lets users discover Loopys more advanced features at their own pace.

Pros and cons of Loopy app for iPhone and iPad

Loopy app good for

Well done, Michael: this is the future for loopers. Even the 400$ and more pedals are always lacking something. Some have delays, but no memory to save ones loops. Others do, but without offering the inverse and transpose functions. Sync is seldom offered, etc. But with Loopy, you have opened the path for a complete looping machine, that will develop and be easily updated. The number of discussions and suggestions on the forums is a proof that you have raised enthusiasm. Thanks a lot, and just go on!
You may take some practice in the beginning but this tool works like a charme.
Some effects, for instance distortion, especially reverb would increase it to a dreamlevel ...
Ich liebe diesen Looper. Echt toll um schnell mal nen Song zu basteln. Beide Daumen hoch, hätte ich mehr Daumen wären die auch oben. Zum Editieren exportier ich per Audio-Copy zu TwistedWave und wieder zurück. Damit sind die beiden zusammen ein perfektes Paar. Deshalb stört mich ne fehlende Editierfunktion nicht, natürlich wäre das noch der absolute Wahnsinn, aber so schon die coolste Musik-App im Store für mich. Im letzten update war ein Fehler mit IOS 5 aber der wurde sofort behoben. Hatte an einem Tag den Fehler gemeldet und am nächsten war schon ein Update da. Also toller Support. Danke für eine phantastische Musik-App. Diese App muß man einfach haben. I love this looper. Great for fast song creation. Both thumbs up, if I had more thumbs, they would be up as well. For editing I export via Audio-Copy to TwistedWave and back. Together these two are a perfect couple. Thats why Im not bothered by a missing editfunction, of course that would be the overkill, but even this way already the best musik-app in the store. With the last update there came an error with IOS5, which was right away fixed. I reported the problem one day and the other day it was already fixed. So great support. Thanks for this fantastic music-app. This is a must-have-app.
Loopy was my 2nd app try and a full hit. Better than expected. Even as a live tool. Thanks for this great app.
I just bought this app and i cant put my iphone down. If u into live looping stuff u MUST this app

Some bad moments

This App is Great ... If you use headphones with cable ... but my incredibly expensive bluetooth-headphones dont work on this App ... every anothere App works fine ... I hope for update ;-)
Kind of cool but it wont shut off without powering down the phone.
Containing the sound does not fit well in a double. I want you to retouching early.
Every update brings a bunch of unnecessary changes. I have no idea how to use this app anymore.
Crashes every time I open the new version. Has worked fine before.
Installed on an iPod Touch 4G with iOS 5. App wont get past the loading screen.
