Description:
Integrate high-quality octave and pitch-shifting effects directly into Loopy Pro, either natively or by enabling access to system-level AU pitch effects like Apple’s AUPitch.
Problem:
While Loopy Pro supports AUv3 effects, users seeking clean, adjustable pitch-shifting—especially for live use—are currently limited. Notably, Apple’s AUPitch effect sounds better and provides more control than AUNewPitch, yet it is not easily accessible in Loopy Pro outside GarageBand. This creates a barrier for users needing reliable pitch control for vocals, instruments, or creative FX chains.
Proposed Solution:
– Make Apple’s AUPitch accessible within Loopy Pro as an effect option
– Alternatively (or additionally), develop native Loopy Pro pitch/octave shifter with high-quality algorithms
– Include real-time control via MIDI/automation
– Offer parameters like coarse/fine pitch shift, formant control, mix/dry, and stereo width
– Ensure low latency and stable performance suitable for live performance scenarios
Benefits:
✅ Unlocks access to Apple’s superior pitch-shifting algorithm for Loopy Pro users
✅ Provides musicians with high-quality real-time pitch manipulation tools
✅ Useful for harmonizing, vocal doubling, creative sound design, and instrumental FX
✅ Helps avoid needing GarageBand or third-party hosts just for AUPitch access
✅ Makes Loopy Pro more self-contained and powerful as a live processor
