You need to test external sync when using (for example) a drum machine which is set as sync master and you need to do this in the context of playing multiple loops while the master device is also playing something. I havent tried WiFi sync, as I'm unwilling to use WiFi at a gig - too risky. The sync breaks down when trying to keep multiple loops in sync over time when sync'd via external MIDI Clock. Hi Michael - Thanks for looking into this, but I think you may be missing the point (at least, from my perspective). I think the developer of this wonderful program should work around this issue more. That is bad news because my first aim by purchasing iPad installed with Loopy HD was to use it on stage synchronized (as a Slave) with other hardware such as Ableton running computer or another clock sending synth. I also checked it WITHOUT receiving MIDI clock from external hardware (Ableton). What may be the reason of all these problems? Is it a MIDI clock issue? Is Loopy HD not ready yet to get massive stabile timing with external master clock? Last problem is: Although everything goes quantized, Loopy sometimes eats the beginning of the recorded loop just after it quits recording and passes onto play back. Namely, I press the toggle record switch DURING the LAST bar of my recording, but Loopy may not be able to end recording and play back, instead it continues to record and ads one more bar to my loop where everything goes out of order as you may guess. (I expect it to be just as in Ableton Live's quantized loop recording. The 1 bar counting problem also occurs when I try to end the recording. I am still working on it before putting it on stage. This is real problem when you are not just freely looping and have a traffic to follow on back ground I also tried count-in as clock time by setting it to 1 on loopy. So it counts one more bar and starts recording. However, I get some issues during real time play and record:Īlthough I set count in to 1 bar and press record switch within the LAST bar (familiar process as in Ableton's quantized recording system), Loopy does not always start recording on upcoming 1st beat as it is expected. Controlling loops with my Icon is no prob. When I play Ableton session, Loopy HD is on the go. I connected Roland's MIDI IN to my desktop computer's sound card's MIDI OUT to get the clock from Ableton Live. iOs 7.0.3, a Roland Duo Capture Ex audio/midi interface, Icon G-Board USB foot controller, a powered USB Hub to be able to make Icon work and LOOPY HD! When I turn on all the staff, rig is ready. Supposing that he may not respond to all messages from all around the world, I would like to put the issue on the table too. I have personally written a message to respected developer Michael.
