Cant wait for this function. Already see a guy on YT who used this in loopy pro. So my question is, when it will be available ? Thanks for this great piece of software

Where to find any news or updates on Loopy Pro and / or status of what’s currently in Beta? Where updates were released on a regular basis, development now seems to have completely stopped.
Flavelius
Maik There are fragments of answers scattered through discord and this platform. There's no single progress-meter like feedback, but this roadmap (which is not bad at all, as it tells what is currently being worked on).
If you look down this thread, you can find responses that the developer is currently preparing a large update. This understandably took some time, but is also intended to be released in the very near future.

Flavelius thanks for your reply. The requested information is not on Discord, nor is it available on this platform. Yes, I can see those scattered snippets, but no dedicated information updates by the developer. There are a lot of questions, and I do understand it’s nearly impossible to respond to every single one of them. Therefore I was looking for some news or blogpost on what are known issues to be fix and/or new features coming up. This roadmap became more of a giant wishlist… with a lot of (big) things in development for quite some time now. And yes, I do understand a major update will take more time… completely fine if that’s what’s needed. But what about ‘a year of free updates policy’…? And no, for me it’s not about the money, but I do miss the more frequent, incremental updates.

So how long can the next few weeks be?
Jay Grisham
Hate to speculate, but I think it’s finished, but he is sitting on it. iPad has to be barely profitable for these developers. For instance, they barely get any reviews in the App Store, the majority of music production iOS apps rarely get updated these days, and the online communities are seriously small. I’m guessing he is wise to focus on MacOs, he can charge way more and it has a bigger user base. Strategically, he should wait until the last big group of users who paid for feature update’s year runs out. Then drop the midi looping feature, because that’s what everyone is waiting for. Personally I haven’t paid for any of the new updates, I’m waiting for midi looping. After it comes out, I’d like to support the business model and developer and pay for quality of life updates. But like NanoStudio 2 with out audio as promised, without sequencing Loopy feels half app’d :)

Jay Grisham well, in the end I think you’re right. He’s simply keeping it in Beta until the biggest group of users has to pay for the update. I guess that would be somewhere around the end of this year. For the big one I would probably understand it, because he has to earn a living. But there haven’t been any updates since May 2024… that shouldn’t be the case with these kind of models.

Nothing new here for quite a while! Change log says fixed crashes that never occured to me and the promised main features remain untouched. Wouldnt it be fair to announce a rough release date for transparency purposes dear loopy pro team?
Den
So it’s been 1 year and it’s not there yet, so what is the point of the free 12 months updates if you don’t deliver announced feature within that time. Good for you for sure, but not for your customers.

Maik
Den well, look at the Change Log…
Felix Mross
So true Den! Change log says fixed crashes that never occured to me and the promised main features remain untouched. Wouldnt it be fair to announce a rough release date for transparency purposes dear loopy pro team?
M
Maik
Felix Mross at least the Change Log itself got periodically updated… but now even that one had a big gap. Hopefully it will be closed soon.

Really exited for this function!

Michael Tyson How close are we to midi?! So excited for this feature! The best just gets better! 🤩
Michael Tyson
Getting there!
Felix Mross
Michael Tyson anything more specific to keep your fan base engaged? at least which year or Quartal?
Michael Tyson
Felix Mross I’m hoping for a release in the next several weeks. It’s in the final beta stage now

Michael Tyson I don’t know what you’re building, but I do hope it’s just lean and mean MIDI looping, not a complete DAW with in-depth MIDI editing capabilities… I don’t know about others, but I’m using Loopy as an audio loop station.
Besides that I would love to ditch AUM. Not because it’s bad, as it’s great!! But because it (still) wants to be the clock master, something that doesn’t fit into my workflow, and it also doesn’t seem to be developed any further.
That’s why I think Loopy is great, because it can be customized and fit into almost any audio-based workflow. But then again, it’s mixing capabilities are fairly limited when compared to AUM… shouldn’t that have the primary focus when developing an audio looping workstation…?
UI customization is already top-notch! Same goes for automation, almost no competition there! The core-looping features… well, that’s what made it such a great alternative in the first place! I would love to see some improvements when it comes to the mixer, routing, busses, multi in / out, refining the UI when it comes to large projects and handling hidden elements, etc..
So yes, some basic MIDI looping would be nice, but it also adds another branch to the ever-growing wishlist…
Michael Tyson
Maik If you're missing something, do add it to the roadmap here
M
Maik
Michael Tyson I (or others) did, all things mentioned are already there. I also know you’re not a large company with a lot of developers, and I also keep supporting your work, because I really would love to see Loopy growing. But…

Sarah
Michael Tyson Any Problems yet? Or we will soon get happy? :)
Damian Clarkson
Michael Tyson Any more news on a release? Have you got any blockers or major issues with it? final beta was nearly 2 months ago
Jimming Cheng
me too! new user on the trial period here and I will gladly pay for the app once MIDI looping becomes supported
