That's the best and most detailed MIDI controlling of Loopy Pro on TH-cam. I'll have to watch that a number of times to duplicate your tips. Thanks so much!
Happy to help!
This is such a generous gift to us all. Thank you for taking so much time and care sharing your thoughts and insights. Really appreciate this. You create magic. Thank you for inspiring us to do the same 🙏
My pleasure! I'm so glad it's helpful and thank you for the kind words 🙏
Hello Inbar. Thank you so much for this great explanatory video. You have explained many points that I did not fully understand and that were bothering me. It was as if I asked you and you explained it. Thank you very much. I try to watch all your videos. You are great.
Wow that's amazing :)
So generous, helpful and inspiring. Thank you so much Inbar!
My pleasure!
Thank you very much Inbar. I recently switched from a hardware looper (boss rc 600) and had a hard time getting started because the learning curve for loopy is a bit steep (it's so powerful). Things are much better now and a lot thanks to you. Very good video, thank you for sharing your experience.
Glad it was helpful! I'll make a few more tutorials soon :)
Thanks a lot! I wanted to control my mpk mini to change program change and control more things. I just mapped all my stuff in loopy pro and I can switch easily between my profiles. Thanks again 🙏
Perfect :)
That’s great, you show us all the functions, how to connect and upload plugins 😍!
Thank you, that you made this as a free available content 🙏🍀
My pleasure :) Thanks for watching
genious with the control settings for different midi setups. i did setup 8 scenes with different midi channels on my nanokeys studio which seems cool also as workaround but this ones more easy though!
I've yet to try using different midi channels so I'm not sure which one is easier, but it's fun that there are multiple ways to program things :)
Hello Inbar, thank you so much for sharing. I didn't understand the full potential of loopy pro until you made this tutorial. Still a challenge to apply all this, but now I get an idea how you do the magic. Love your live performances 🥳🎉
That's amazing, thank you!
Wow! Great tutorial, just getting my head around Loopy and how flexible it is.
Thanks!
Super helpful content with so many knowledge in here !! Thank you so much for sharing your piece of mind to us out here !!
So glad it's helpful! Thank you :)
I was on the cusp of giving up until I saw your helpful and informative videos . It is kind of you to give this info so readily and in great detail. I cannot thank you enough . Cheers
Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting. I'm really glad these tutorials are helpful!
@@inbar.heyman extremely - I cannot thank you enough
Special thanks for hardware review!
I keep struggling with a similar setup, so seeing that usb-hub + cam adapter should actually work will hopefully help me to move on!
🤞🤞🤞
Super helpful video. Thanks for putting the effort into creating ir and sharing ❤
Thank you, my pleasure :)
Pure genius
Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing your set up
My pleasure
I REALLY appreciate your candor sharing your tricks! Thank you!
My pleasure!!
Ty sooo much for making this vid. Your live jam sessions are so dope also 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for watching and listening 🙏
Awesome, Thanks for uplevelling so many sonic creatives out there. Love your passion and clear concise downloads. Cheers
Thanks, it’s my pleasure!
Great tutorial. Very generous of you (again). Thanks for all your help and knowledge sharing.
My pleasure :)
Thanks for going through your Loopy Pro setup in detail.. explaining how you setup the buttons + widgets + sliders is super helpful.. so many great actions for live performance.. thanks for sharing..
Loved the Black Sheep Jam.. looking to pick up a uke myself.. I think it would be loads of fun..
This is so good! Thank you for the hardwork on this!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
You are are a star! Thanks for the great tutorial!
Thank you so much! It's my pleasure! Thanks for watching
This is gold, thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
so helpful, im so lucky i found your channel. ive been scratching my head for so long with this
That's great to read :) I'm glad it's helpful
This is a great video, thank you for such a solid breakdown, this is just the right amount of info too. I'm sure this is helping a lot of other people discover ways to use Loopy Pro. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks! It's my pleasure and I'm so glad it's helping :)
Super well done and clearly explained!
Thank you :)
So clear and concise! I have been scraping together my setup for a few weeks now and your video is very helpful! ❤
I'm so glad to know that 🙏
Hi Inbar, well this one vid will keep me rewinding for a while. There’s a lot to dial and widget my brain around on this tutorial!! Thanks Inbar!!!!
My pleasure! Good luck
What a surprise, another great Loopy video from Inbar!
Nice to see I'm not the only person who's been caught out by the 'toggle' default play and record.
😎😎😎 Thanks!! And definitely...
I like both your songs and how you explain things. Really inspiring and bright person you are. Thanks.
Thank you so much!!
Grate tutorial that shows a bunch possibilities with loopy pro. Sometimes a little fast, but I can look at it infinite often. Thank you sharing this hard learning stuff.
My pleasure :)
Inbar, your templates are wild, and I love that they keep on evolving from video to video. Now I have to incorporate your teal vocal slicing section into my own template!
Haha yes they refuse to stop evolving 😅 Thank you 🙏
GOOD STUFF! you provide a valuable service. thank you.
My pleasure!
perfect video, thank you so much !
My pleasure!!
Thank you SO MUCH! I couldn't figure out how to add a midi *instrument* to LP -- tons of "here's how you add a control pedal" or whatever, you saved the day!
Happy to help 😁
Thank you! gotta rewatch 😉
I'm glad it's helpful 😁
Soooooo good!
Thank you for explaining your process so clearly. Being new to LP and midi, I'll slow this down and watch it several times. Fun to listen and watch your music, too. Subbed and Liked!
You can also check out Max Yar if you're into guitar or acoustic instruments.
He's got a very useful course for getting started
Thank you :) And my pleasure!
Wow you are a Loopy Pro!! I have been watching Markus K because I am a guitarist, but I like your style as well. I’m a new subscriber and Fan. I will be starting my journey soon once I get my gear together. Thank you. ❤
Thank you so much, and good luck with your journey :)
I barely understand the technical things you talk about but it still so much fun listening to what you say!
🧡🧡🧡
I see that there are multiple ( or a couple) of paths to solving the same problem with follow actions or button presses manually .. very flexible indeed . My goodness you covered a lot of complexity here in a way that’s easy to understand
I'm glad it's helpful! Yes, Loopy Pro is very deep and you can often "solve" things in multiple different ways
@@inbar.heyman Yes, thanks to you - I am starting to understand some of the flexibility - which was not obvious from th e manual or menu of choices. What a kind person you are to assist us with our struggles - very much appreciated.
Omg, great video. Full of little nuggets. Setting the effects to zero instead of turning off is huge. I'm trying to have my guitar tone change for overlaying leads as harmonies...and it's been hella clunky. Can't wait to implement this!
So glad this is helpful!! Let me know if it works better
Thanks for the video! Insightful.
I can share a tip too. You don’t need to have Morningstar/Midi profile switch.
What I do on my midi keyboard, I create a custom mapping for pads - they send midi over a different midi channel. Then in loopy I add keyboard twice. One is listening to a default midi channel, another listening to the dedicated pads midi channel.
Then I can play synth and drums from one keyboard without switching.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for the detailed tip! I'm curious to try that out
Wow, this was a lot of information and at some point really presented very fast - so to a totally newbie as me a little bit confusion. But I think this is a video that has to be watched several times and it really gave a big overview. I must say that the way Loopy Pro works really is very straightforward. If you are familiar with the musical terms of what you want to do it is not that complicated.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
I’m glad it’s helpful, thanks for watching and writing 🙌
NIcely done! Thanks.
My pleasure!
Wow!
Ask and you shall receive lol! 😊
Thanks for this. It really does demystify some of your process and fill in some holes in my knowledge.
I like how you were sure to explain alternatives as well.
It was also good to see how you dialed into the settings you liked and didn't go overboard with customizable dials and sliders, which I tend to do at first.
Sometimes that's cool, but once you are set with what you like, it's cool to have it all streamlined, and this really helps me to remember that.
The hardest thing about Loopy is not getting bogged down with excessive effects and complicating things to the point of stagnation.
You mentioned your different audio interfaces in the beginning.
Are there any specific down sides to the Zoom?
I was reading about JFET for guitar inputs and am curious how important you think that is.
Guitar is a huge part of what I'm trying to incorporate into my loops.
Or anything else you have to add about interfaces could be helpful before I drop the ball on one.
I'm currently using my guitar through a Spark amp which is also my output, so it is pretty limited, but I eventually want to add vocals and record percussion etc.
Anyway... thanks again for all of this already!
You rock!
My pleasure, I'm so glad it's helpful!!
I don't hear, see or feel any downsides to the Zoom U-44. At home I use Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 because I need more than two inputs, but the Zoom U-44 has been amazing on the road.
I'm not a guitar player so I can't give you proper advice on that, but I use my electric ukulele with both interfaces and it sounds fantastic to me.
This is so good! Have you posted to the loopy group too? I only ran into it through my TH-cam recommendations.
I’ve ended up at a very similar setup as you’re showing here through lots of research, trial and error and piecing together a lot of knowledge bits from different people and sources, but seeing this video a year ago would have saved me so much time! 😂
Anyhow… thanks for taking the time for putting this together. It will be super useful to many.
Thank you for watching and sharing. I'll make some more like this one, I'm so glad it's helpful and interesting to other people.
A question. As new songs come and go, your loopy pro design evolves. It's a lot of work to make a new one each time. Is there a generic template emerging for you from which you evolve each new project? Thank you again for the help you give us and for your art.
Good question!
It is a lot of work each time but it's also really fun because of the amazing flexibility. I never start from scratch, I have a template, but I do always change, add and subtract a lot from it as I'm developing each song.
@@inbar.heymanso basically each song has its own template? Then when you play live do you play each song the same every time? Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, but there are usually a few areas for improvisation, whether it's the rhythmic parts, or the live playing before I record a loop, etc...
I have one template for live shows that's made for improvisation where there are no complex follow actions, just a bunch of loops, one shots and instruments.
@@inbar.heymanThanks for the explanation. I’ve been considering the same. I have a solid “freestyle” template I use for most of my simple songs but I have been considering expanding into some custom templates as well. Cool stuff!
SO NICE
Thank you :)
Ты лучшая!!!🎉🎉🎉
Спасибо
Thank you :)
(And thank you google translate 😀)
Thanks a lot ! Your whole playlist and the way you teach is awesome!!!
Do you experience any issues with latency?
Thanks for watching!
I haven't had too many issues with latency. Are you struggling with it? I did have more noticeable latency around a year ago and I tried playing around with the system settings in Loopy and in my interface (it was with the Focusrite Scarlett), such as buffer duration, sample rate and file format, and it helped. Right now my settings in Loopy are: Sample Rate 48, Buffer Duration 128, File Format 24. I don't have a powerful iPad so I do prefer barely noticeable latency over cpu wreckage... If I tried super low buffer duration my iPad wouldn't be able to handle it.
I hope that helps 🙌
I'm happy to see you make a tutorial. You really have a heart for teaching. God bless you on this endeavor and may your channel grow more and you continue enjoying making music in the style you like.
Feedback: I don't know if your audio routing has some technical challenges, but I would have loved to hear the examples you were showing and talking us through.
Also, do you think the iPad 9th generation is enough for this kind of work? Do you experience some overload issues or limitations while producing music on the 9th gen iPad?
I had an ipad 9 and felt it limited when you load a bunch of synths and Fx. But i must say that in the case of live looping audio mainly from mic it is more than enough. I went for the M1 Pro
Thank you for sharing your experience 🙂 Even I'm thinking of the m1 Pro@@MonitusMusic
Hi, thank you for the feedback, I'll definitely take that into consideration for my next tutorial! (Which is hopefully coming very soon...)
I do experience a few limitations with the 9th generation, if you have the money I'd recommend getting the best iPad you can, it will be a good investment. The biggest limitation is the memory (I only have 64gb), but I also can't use all the plugins in the world all at the same time and I do have to think twice sometimes before putting on a heavy plugin (but I do use a lot of plugins!)
I've been able to play live shows with really good sound using really good plugins and haven't had issues. But of course it'd be even more amazing with a faster iPad and more storage.
@@inbar.heyman Thank you so much for your detailed insights. It is really helping me make a conscious decision as I'm preparing myself to buy an ipad.
Hope you have lots of fun making the next video, I'm looking forward to it. Also, I love your style of performance, especially the dance like body movements.
May God bless you in this endeavour. ☺️🙏🏼❤️
Thank you 🙏
Wow Incredible! I have mostly use Loopy HD but when Michael launched Loopy Pro I jumped. Sadly it sits on my iPad&iPhone unused,until I saw your video and it blew my mind open to the possibilities of live applications. So long short do you have a patreon or something I can visit and subscribe to have questions answered on setting up my own template and making sense of it
Hi! I do have a Patreon, but it's undeveloped. We can set up a lesson to get you started and answer some questions! Let me know:
inbar.heyman.music@gmail.com
When I first saw one of Inbar’s loopy pro videos, I was also quite frustrated, not being able to keep up as there is so much content, especially when you’re new to looping but after a few months of looking at tutorials and reading the manual I can come back to her video content and appreciate just how much you can learn
I still only catch half of it but she is giving us a good deal more in depth detail now and not skipping off on a tangent as so many others do.
I am still trying to complete my template and would like to know if anyone can tell me with all these latest loopy 1.1.17 updates of couple of weeks ago if we still have to use bindings or can we just use midi learn to create bindings? you see I am not sure if bindings And midi learn do the same thing as I seem to have got my pedals working with just midi learn 🤔not sure if I’m doing that right.
Possibly a good way to learn how to make a template is to have a template that’s already been made and kind of backwards work it to find what settings are under the hood
Unfortunately, most of the templates included in loopy pro don’t have many widgets buttons etc etc to give us a good idea of how to set them up
So any templates available would be appreciated 😊😊
There are so many combinations of how the clip settings can be configured to suit your particular style and we sometimes don’t want some of the default settings that automatically push you to 4/4 ,, I use odd time signatures and also can not record on the upstroke preferring to trigger loops on the downstroke fortunately that is an option in clip settings/ under gestures wow took me a while to figure that out,
Hope it helps someone who like me is a percussion style player who is trained in the art of accurately hitting things to create music and don’t have sweaty hands when they play especially in February 🥶
Hi, thanks for watching and for writing.
I plan on making my templates available soon, probably on Patreon. I'll make an announcement on my youtube channel once I figure that out. I go in detail about a lot of widgets in my tutorial so I hope that's helpful.
Midi bind is a great short-cut!! Sometimes for my use cases I need to tweak settings and that requires going into the Program Control settings, but whenever you can only use midi-bind that's fantastic, it's basically the same thing but with a short-cut. Just make sure the settings are what you need them to be (right control profile, play/stop/toggle, etc..)
I'm not sure what you mean by upstroke or downstroke, like onbeat and offbeat? But sounds like you figured it out 👍
Keep enjoying your Loopy journey :)
@@inbar.heyman Thank you again I forgot to mention apart from your intelligence that I consider impressive I enjoy your enthusiasm in your music your dancing spontaneous free and flowing in love with the sound
Always keep it so
always remember to have fun the technology at the end of the day are merely our tools.
@@andrewharman6861 Thank you 😊🙏
Hello, thx for your videos. Your performances are awesome and your tutorials helped me a lot. But I have a problem with my midi commander. It’s a mellow audio but it seems to only be working the midi out line and not with the usb, which means I can send midi messages to loopy but not receive some pc commands from loopy since it only has a midi out ! Would you have any idea of how to fix this? Thx in advance and have a great day
Hi, thanks for writing. Glad it's helpful.
I don't know about your specific midi pedal. Have you tried changing usb cable, changing the adapter, the hub? Sometimes it's one of those things that gets in the middle
Thanks, this is a great video! Can you please tell me what usb hub you use?
Thanks for watching! My usb hub works perfectly so far, it's made by tp-link: "USB 3.0 7-port hub with 2 charging ports"
ps I am still debating the Zoom products - for portabtlity - against the new arturia range minifuse 4 - which will give me 4 outputs -(as you recommend ) plus usb C and usb hub and works with ipad - zoom still out in front re portability . any thoughts on arturia?
I don't know anything about the arturia so I can't help you with that... I can only say the Zoom U44 is fantastic.
Can you share links to the interface and footswitch? My Scarlett 2i2 doesn't work with my iPad.
I don't have links but I'll write the names for you. Scarlett should work! The issue might be with a cable, did you check? Scarlett is class-compliant, at home I use the Scarlett 18i8 and it works great with my iPad.
Zoom U-44 is my travel interface, it's fantastic.
Morningstar MC6 is the footswitch, it's also fantastic :)
can loopy pro receive midi clock and audio from an external synth? I was thinking about using it for looping synth parts during a jam but not having it as the centre of my setup, does that make sense?
Yes!! I don't personally do it so can't speak from experience, but I know that it is definitely a feature.
hey!
i still don't understand how you manage record drums independent of each other
do you have 3 Koala (first for kicks, second for snares, third for hats)?
Hi!
I'm not using Koala for my drums, I'm using samples that I import into Loopy Pro (I click on a one-shot and on the top right corner there's an import option, then I select the specific sample I want from my files).
Then, I make each one-shot a different color (let's say brown, white, green) and in the mixer I route those colors INTO other colors (let's say purple, pink and yellow) by adding destinations. I show this in one of my tutorials!
Now I'm able to play each drum sample separately and also record them separately, so that I can treat each one with different EQ and effects.
I hope that makes sense :)
Hello can you help? I was on the cusp of buying an audio interface. Have iPad and loopy pro. I use Ableton on a windows pc. I have a small btu important question and I’d be grateful for your views and help. My workflow would be easier if I could transfer wav files to the correct loopy pro folder on the iPad . Is there a way of doing this without using iTunes or resorting to purchasing an interface like the Iconnect 4c which allows two usb c devices to be connected simultaneously. ? At present I am emailing small wav files from Ableton live on the PC to my iPad and loading them one by one onto loopy pro … from individual emails. it’s long and tedious and is limited by file size. . Do you have any experience of getting audio data from windows pc to iPad ? If this can be overcome then I don’t need such an expensive US sourced audio Interface and could instead buy the zoom you use … for example.
I use a Macbook and not a PC so I don't exactly know. But I would upload these files to Google Drive instead of emailing. It would still take a long time but it will already be organized in one folder and you can upload them to Google Drive, go to sleep, and they'll be uploaded in the morning, instead of sending them separately.
I hope that helps a little bit, let me know 🙌
@@inbar.heyman You know - that does help. Food for thought. . I am thinking a swtich to macbook and iphone might be a better bet . Trying to work across paltforms is proving to be a huge challenge. Meanwhile I will try the Google drive route - which I was avoiding due to a poor connection - This has improved recently - so might be a good workaround . - so Thank you - I was not keen on switching to IOS totally but Loopy Pro is so amazing that it might be worth it - long term. There is no other app on the market that would convince me to do so - but this one - is qualitatively different and so flexible . cheers
I've just started learning the Asalato, but the ones I use are rather fragile and keep breaking. Where do you get yours from? Love your stuff. Am Yisrael Chai!
If they're breaking it's a good sign, you're truly becoming an Asalato player!!
Have you checked out my online course? It's super cheap and very very comprehensive: www.udemy.com/course/beginnerasalato/?referralCode=8E4C0DB8C504921E3937
The ones I use the most are made by Panman, here is the website, they're probably the most expensive out there, but they're truly the best I've ever played:

Hi, Inbar. Thanks for you tutorials. How many gigabyte on your ipad? It's it enough for live sessions? I'm android and pc user 🙄
I have a basic iPad with 64gb on it. It's enough for live sessions, I have quite a lot of apps and projects and it's fine. However, I like to make a lot of videos on mine and that's when I really struggle and constantly have to battle my storage space... So I would definitely recommend getting as much storage as possible if you can afford it.
@@inbar.heyman thank you 👍
Not sure if i missed it, but which iPad are you using? I am just about to build something like this but wonder how nmuch my iPad 6 can handle. May have to update but should run just the loopers at least?
I'm using a basic 9th generation iPad. It was working great until recently, I don't know why lately it's struggling a bit, maybe it's just the heat... If you're not planning on using heavy effects then you should be fine with a 6th generation.
@@inbar.heyman awesome! i mostly plan on looping and basic stuff, and let my macbook do all the heavy lifting. I’ll peobably get turnado and other things just to see if it works well on the 6th. Awesome content btw! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
@@Iskulaatikko that sounds like a good plan 👌
So is an audio interface required or can you just make music directly to the iPad?
You can definitely create music without an audio interface if you're just using it at home, but you should definitely have headphones (otherwise you'll have a hard time recording yourself).
@@inbar.heyman awesome thanks!
how is yoru midi hub powered ? Bus or own supply?
My usb hub is powered, but I actually almost never plug it in because my iPad is plugged in and it supplies the power. But I think it's good to have that option just in case!
💋💋💋😘😘😘💪
🙂
Considering buying this, but unfortunately this video is absolutely no use to me. It is far too in depth
Definitely, but there are a lot of tutorials out there for Loopy Pro, I hope you find the ones that can help you get started. In the future I'll definitely make tutorials covering the very basics as well.
Like anything worth doing it takes time and can be very frustrating take your time your on the right rd
Check out Nathan J Robert’s tutorials on loopy pro TH-cam
far more basic he also gives you his template free really easy to follow if your new to loopy pro
I know how frustrating this can be but when you understand the basics iam sure you will find this video valuable
@@inbar.heyman Please stick with what you are doing! Lots of others are doing “intro to Loopy Pro” videos. Nobody else is covering it in this kind of depth!
Inbar thank you so much for this practical tutorial where you actually show what is to be done. Super helpful!
My pleasure!! More to come in the future :)
