@max_yar_guitar I can answer why 127) It's common programmer knowledge. Everything stores as 0 or 1, so with 1 *slot* we can send 2 different values. If we have 2 slots we can encode 4 different values. To encode 100 different values we need 7 slots, or 7 bits. It have no cost to encode 128 in that way) And 127 because of zero value. PC uses ASCII table to encode latin characters and digits into 7 bites, when your press key on keyboard (and up to 32 bits in case of international utf-8), same mechanism :)
My brain 🧠 rest took 3 more months. Being older not growing up with computers has challenges for me. Again I’m attempting to learn Loopy Pro and interface.
Hey Max, great video and thanks for the intensive tutorial. The numbers go from 0 to 127, so you have 128 in total which is a 7-bit MIDI operation 7 bit equals 128 values.
Excellent video, thank you. There are so many settings possible, it's hard to know which to select. I have a BlueBoard but i find it finicky. It will change modes without me realizing that I did it. It also registers alot of 'Holds' with the clunky buttons. I have several of the Boss 2 or 3 button FS-6 TSR controllers, but I'm going to try to program LP using the Nektar Pacer Midi Controler. It should be easier using the Learn Midi function. Anyway, thanks again!
Thank you Max. Excellent explanation. You mentioned about other controllers. I have a Nektar Pacer. It is a great controller, but the information available for programming it is very sparse. I am sure there are many with this controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Max, do you have a video or document on how to setup the M-VAVE controller for use with Loopy Pro? I can’t seem to figure out which “MODE” to use. Thanks
I have been trying to hook up various effect pedals to use them as midi control for loopy Pro. I've been a professional musician all my life and I have to say I am overwhelmed with paralysis from analysis.
I know that loopy pro is amazing I have been trying to hook up firstly a TS mega then a Voice live 2 to control loopy via midi . I find it overwhelming and I'm considering just getting a simple loop pedal what in your opinion is the simplest way to use loopy with a pedal is it a MIDI pedal plus an interface? .@@max_yar_guitar
Good presentation Max, a bit fast, but thank you! Can I use an AirTurn BT500S-6 to do the same thing as your Morning Star? Very pricey. My goal is to be totally battery operated, busk etc. Maybe you'll have a tutorial?
Brilliant video as always! I am using a Lighting Camera Adapter on my iPad. Both the Lightning and USB slots are blocked (by a soundcard and powerbank). Can I use a USB hub with more slots instead?
Liking everything you do with Loopy Pro, I was following your instructions In the video, From 20:14 - 20:45 I got a little frustrated as to why I can’t get RECORD PLAY STOP, to STOP (after many retry’s ) on the third touch of the button, It just kept on cycling instead of stopping at beginning of the bar as you stated, I can only guess there’s something in the settings that you hadn’t shown us to change, before coming out of edit and trialing the button. I did, however manage to get the ERASE to work. Haven’t yet tried to set up OVERDUB. Please help, many thanks.
Hi dear Max, Thank you very much for your instructions. Unfortunately... Unfortunately... Unfortunately... you only need to breathe out the other way round at one point and everything is gone. I managed to follow the instructions for setting it up on the iPad, but as soon as I try to assign my midi pedals, nothing works at all. I try it with the FCB1010, I try it with the HelixLT - merciless nirvana.... I was still prepared for this with the FCB, but not with the Helix (of course with your preset...) I almost always get "Not compatible with this action" (assignment REC/PLAY/STOP to button 2 on the Helix) during Midi-Learn, it is completely pointless to assign the DoubleTap or the LongTap, it is not recognised. This means that some parameters are probably being sent incorrectly internally in the Helix. Unfortunately, it is not possible to see what these are.... Help Help Help Help.... Sorry for the rant, but now I've invested roundabout 30 hours in the fight with LoopyPro (and peripherals) and I'm still at a loss....
Nice video! I have a processor called Mooer GE150. It has OTG cable which I can connect to Iphone and record audio or video directly coming from processor. But when I use Loopy pro, I could hear my guitar sound from processor but I realized that it is not supported midi. Also it has a overdub issue. After recording one donut, when I want to record another donut while the first one is playing, the second one records the first audio also. I could not manage how can I fix this issue.
I bought an M-Vave after watching this video but I am having a hard time figuring out the set up. Its not the same as morning star. M-Vave is not listening for midi event. if i manually change to CC its not going back to listening mode? Would you have a set up for M-Vave?
I have the midi captain and I’m having a hard time getting it to midi learn loopypro. I’m using it in geek mode and setting switches to cc commands and when I midi learn a quick tap it says hold command 🤷♂️. It’s probably my lack of midi knowledge but I haven’t figured it out yet
@@Bluewaterboy Thank you very much for your answer. I have zero knowledge of midi myself and feel rather overwhelmed about making a start. It's not just Loopy pro that I would like to control and I have no idea which controller to get. But as I say, Morningstar mc8 is not so easy to find here in Germany and it is double the cost anyway. So I may have a go with the Paintaudio. Would really appreciate if you come up with some solutions for this controller to make a video about it - I'm subscribed!
th-cam.com/video/g9pNIVm2rrM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nmCR1iSUSt6SBDaa this is a really good video about the midi captain and it has a link to another video about midi that’s really informative! Good luck when I get mine where I need it I will post
Hey Max! I need your help. I have 2 seperate channel out of my guitar(1-soundhole mag 2-sbt pickup) and want to manage channels seperately with my iphone or pc.(like drive, octave, delay, whammy on mag and just a bit reverb on sbt pickup for adding air to sound) Obviusly i need an audio interface. At this point do i need a something special with low latency or any other is enough for me(also iphone compatibility). I make gig once a month and output of the interface goes to PA system so im not gonna just record 2 seperate. İm planning to use interface and pc/iphone as a pedalboard and play live with them.Do you have any suggestion ?
Hey! This was exactly the question I had before. I also have two pickups on my guitar. First, I bought the HX Stomp because it has two input channels and a pretty flexible routing. But there is a limitation - only 8 FX blocks per preset. I didn't like the PC option. But the option with the iPhone/iPad appealed to me. Essentially, all you need is a good audio interface that works with iPhone/iPad. In the Loopy Pro Users group, this is often discussed. Among the favorites there are interfaces like RME, Zoom, Arturia MiniFuse 4, Motu M6, Behringer Flow 8. In the group, you can read reviews specifically about working with iOS and latency issues. I personally still use HX Stomp with iOS because it can work as an audio interface. But my friend uses the IK Multimedia iRig Pro Quattro and is very satisfied. They have a version for 2 channels - IK Multimedia iRig Pro Duo. I plan to shoot a separate video for guitarists about transitioning from hardware FX pedals to iOS plugins. I'll be happy to take your questions for this video
My conclusions: + compact and very inexpensive; there is a built-in battery (convenient) + connects via USB-C; in this mode it works perfectly without lags + connected by air - it works with micro-lags by air, but it's not cool for recording loops; ok for switching effects - the buttons are very tight, and the sound from pressing them is very loud - my microphone inside the guitar catches it very well
Hi Max when I do the midi learn quick tap loopypro says cc-hold 🤷♂️ any idea why this might happen? I retry and tap button very fast and same result.??
Most likely, the midi controller only sends CC value 127 (press) and does not send CC value 0 (release). Therefore, Loopy Pro thinks you pressed the pedal and hold. You can adjust the midi controller itself. Or you can change Hold to On manually in Loopy Pro. To do this, simply press Hold, in the MIDI Learn mode after you triggered the footswitch
How sad I am to learn that Loopy Pro is only compatible with Apple products. I hope that will change someday as I only have Android and Windows hardware.
I bought a used iPhone for $40 just to use Loopy Pro, and have no regrets. Unfortunately, Android is really tough for a small developer to work on while maintaining high standards. There are just too many thousands of versions out there. I only use Android, other than my Loopy dedicated old iPhone.
@@anthonywestbrook2155 Anthony. Well said. Although I use Apple 🍎 products you’ve made an excellent point. I had an old lightning port iPad I dedicated for Loopy Pro. When my family upgrades phones I will wipe them for resale on Craigslist. Selling them for $20 to $180 depending on memory in excellent condition. I would recommend this for a dedicated low cost looper.

Fantastic Max! This is the missing bit of info from your Loopy Pro course. Thank you thank you!
The timing of this video for me is perfect! Thank you!
Yeah, I've received many requests on this topic. You're welcome!
Thanks Max very helpful
Very well explained Max. 😃
Very well put together. Answered many questions. .
superb tutorial, thank you!
Very helpful and explaind well! Helped me a lot by creating my Templates!
Very helpful tutorial…thanks!
GREAT video! Thank you so much for the visual detail….It helps so much! I have the Ampero midi foot controller. Cheers!😎🤘
Amazing tutorial mate!
Thanks, mate!
Thank you for the great content.🎉
Great job Max, you are always clear giving US your knowledge about how to use loopy pro. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Max for the informative and helpful TH-cam video today.
Clear and concise 👍🏻👍🏻
Great to hear!
Thank you, excellent tutorial. I have the 3 button Xsonic stomp, I will give this a try. 🤓
Great video.
I feel like youve read my post for help ha! Thanks man!
Hey Max, great video and thanks for the intensive tutorial. The numbers go from 0 to 127, so you have 128 in total which is a 7-bit MIDI operation 7 bit equals 128 values.

Amazing video max!🤘

I totally get it! I've spent a few days to figure out how this works
I know that loopy pro is amazing I have been trying to hook up firstly a TS mega then a Voice live 2 to control loopy via midi .

To my mind the simplest way is acoustic guitar + headphones))
So, it depends on how you want to use the looper and what gear you already have

hello and thank you for your video.
I have a question
Does loopy pro have key mapping with keyboard or keyboard pedals?
Hello! Yes, it has. It works the same way
Hello 👋🏻 I am new you have great videos Is it possible to use loopy pro with bias FX for iPad ?
Hi! Yes, it's possible!
I bought an M-Vave after watching this video but I am having a hard time figuring out the set up. Its not the same as morning star. M-Vave is not listening for midi event. if i manually change to CC its not going back to listening mode? Would you have a set up for M-Vave?

Have you worked with PAINTAUDIO MIDI Captain? Thinking about this as a solution as boasts 10 switches for half the cost of a Morningstar mc8

How's the chocolate midi bt foot controller? Latency on BT but ok on data cable?
My conclusions:
+ compact and very inexpensive; there is a built-in battery (convenient)
+ connects via USB-C; in this mode it works perfectly without lags
+ connected by air
- it works with micro-lags by air, but it's not cool for recording loops; ok for switching effects
