- Hi friends. I have created tutorial for you! I am explaining how I created my smallest live looping setup that is accessible also for you. With only 3 elements (old iPhone, Rode Ai Micro and Akai mini play) you can have smallest live looping studio fully self-powered and fully mobile.
My Sample Packs and this Loopy Pro layout you can download from:

Excellent stuff, thank you!
This is perfect, thank you my friend!
Awesome explanation, thanks dude :)
Excellent! I think my set up is smaller, but that's amazing!!!
Great tutorial, I'm really enjoying it although I haven't completed it yet, but I'm on the right track (I have to learn a bit more about Loopy Pro and how to assign channels and stuff like that). I don't use the AKAI Mini Play Mk3 but the AKAI Mini Play (they are very similar), and instead of the Rode AI Micro I use an Apogee One sound card (older, a bit bigger, but still portable: 2 AAA batteries), and both devices communicate quit well. I loved the chords in your tune, and I totally agree that the native value of AKAI's internal sounds are pretty decent when we add effects from Loopy Pro. Again, excellent tutorial, and thank you very much for your work!
Hey. Good to hear that. I am planning more tutorial about Loopy so stick with me 😉
| will, that for sure!
AKAI-Love
Do you have a link for the phone adapter please?
Great video. Do you recommend this setup with loppy pro / iphone over a guitar looping station for relatively simple jams with the akai mini play?
Yes. It could be good for guitar looping too. Rode Ai Micro has two audio ins. So you can connect guitar and AKAI simultaneously 😎
maybe add some chapters for set up, tech talk and music sections?
Very cool - where does the sound go outside of the ai micro? can you just plug headphones in?
Yes. You can plug headphones to have direct monitoring or connect external speaker
Very nice! Any problems with delay?
No problem at all 😎
Thats great! I m having latency problems using akai as a drum pad! Any idea on how to solve?
You need to decrease buffer (ms) in your audio program I think.
hey thanks. Do you know if there are any keyboard snths that looping is already on the keyboard?? like MUST you have an outside device to loop?
I guess that MPC key 37 will be the closest to such a device. Maybe I will try it 🧐
Hi, do you know if exists something like the Akai mini play but with a looper integrated?
There is AKAI MPC Key 37. I think it is closest to ideal looping device. I hadn’t have it in my hands yet
Anyone know Android compatible adapter and app by any chance? It would be great to connect it to portable speaker
I don't have it yet but im guessing you should be able to connect it to a speaker via the headphones jack
Hey, is this the way to only record the mpk? As in the built in sounds, not any external noise.
Hey. Yes, with Rode interface you are recording only Akai without external sounds
@@coffebeats okay thanks!
so for your other videos, did you edit the recording in some way or is it the original?
That Was Fantasic !
Hello. Thank you very much for this video. I just bought the MPK Mini Play mk3. Already have Loopy Pro installed in iPad. How can I use it with the usb cable to connect to Loopy Pro? It detect my device as the input but there’s no sound coming out. Really appreciate your input on this. Again, thank you for this video.
You need also some audio interface for iPad like Rode Ai Micro that I used in this video. Mini Play do not transmit audio over USB cable, only MIDI data.
@@coffebeats ahaaa… no wonder I can’t get the sound to come out. Hahaha. Thank you so much for your respond. Appreciate it a lot. I will do that. Really enjoyed your looping session. I will follow your tutorial video on the setup. Again, thank you so much my friend. Looking forward to your next video. Have a wonderful days ahead.
@@coffebeatshi again. I’ve just got myself the Rode Ai Micro and it works. Hahaha. Finally I can play it using Loopy Pro. Just out of curiosity, is there any instruments and settings that you like to use always for the akai mpk mini mk3 play for a lo-fi mix?
Can you link to come of the cables used? My son wants to get into this but I am not an audio person. 😅
You will need Rode Ai Micro audio interface for sure. Additionally only mini jack cable will be needed.
They shoud HAVE GIVEN A LOOPING FEAT ON THE MIDI CONTROLLER ITSELF .... SAY BOUT 30 SEC thanks so much for this information 🥂🙌❤️🙏✌️🫶
I definitely agree with you
Where do you load your instruments from?
Instruments are built in AKAI. This is version with build in sounds so that why has “play” in name
Cool
New things learned
Thank's a lot
Great video
Will this work with MPK mini plus ?
Yes, for sure
Any reason to not just use you newer/currently active phone?
Recording this video
Only trying to show that old iPhone can handle Loopy Pro
What black adapter do you use?
It is audio interface for iPhone. Rode Ai Micro
@@coffebeats Do you know if it works with android? Does this equipment come with the midi keyboard?
Yes. I think It will work with Android as it has other usb cables too. No, It not comes with AKAI it is separate product
Is loopy pro a paid application? Can it be used on macbook pro?
Yes it is paid but not very expensive. If you have M1 Mac I think you can run IOS apps
Had this keyboard, over a year. Sits in draw, never being able to figure out, how to use it.
Never too late ;)
Do you know a similar app for android ?
The closest high quality app is koalas. But is not oriented to live looping. But you can still do it with the playback after recording option
Unfortunately I don’t know any
Is loopy pro for android?
I don’t think so but you need to check it on Taesty Pixel web page
