Description
Loopy Pro is a live-looper. And a sampler. And a sequencer. And a very capable AUv3 Audio Unit host. And a DAW. And an AUv3 Audio Unit.
You get the idea. Loopy Pro is deep. But it's also designed to be friendly, and a great deal of fun.
You can set up Loopy Pro to work however you do, with features like hands-free looping with count-in, count-out and automatic loop detection; or "free" looping, where you can choose on-the-fly how long to make loops. There's even retrospective recording, where you can lock in a loop after the fact.
There's extensive MIDI controller support, including built-in support for the Launchpad, the APC40 mk2 and the MIDI Fighter Twister, and effortless MIDI Learn for setting up your controllers.
You can also drag-and-drop audio straight onto loops in Loopy Pro, with sophisticated tempo and pitch adjustments, and use Loopy Pro as a clip launcher, with all kinds of options for song sectioning.
The built-in mixer lets you set up insert and send effects for every channel in your project, and load AUv3 Audio Unit instruments, effects, and MIDI sequencers.
And there's a built-in sequencer, for arranging songs, and even performing them live, totally automated and hands-free.
There's also a great deal still to come.
So, what are you reading this for? Go take Loopy Pro for a spin – there's a 7-day free trial just waiting for you.
Have fun!

Loopy Pro's Pricing Structure:
Loopy Pro has a pricing structure that mimics the classic desktop software model, in order to enable continued development:
• A 7-Day Free Trial, so you can make an informed purchasing decision.
• A one-off In-App Purchase to buy the app: to keep, forever.
– This gets you permanent access to all current features, and all those added in the following 12 months.
– It also gets you bug and compatibility fixes for the lifetime of the app.
• A completely optional "Upgrade" In-App Purchase, available any time from 12 months after initial purchase, to buy the latest features and all those released in the following 12 months, to keep forever. Upgrade once, or every year, or just when there's a new feature you want, or never upgrade after the initial purchase – it's completely up to you. And you keep what you buy, forever.
• This will allow Loopy Pro to continue evolving for years to come, while letting me support my family.
If you can’t afford Loopy Pro, or you represent an educational institution, please reach out to [email protected].

Beyond extra
I’ve been using Loopy since beginning. We’re pretty close. I don’t know how I missed the release on this. I’m still on the seven day free trial, right can tell after hooking up multiple synths, a midi controller, a sequencer, a mixer, and an audio interface that this app is legit. looping is rock solid. Easy to use and intuitive. It’s so quick to lay down ideas. Being able to organize the pads… being able to organize almost the entire screen… in any way that I want opens up so many possibilities. I have no excuse for not having a feature or a set up that I want. Unlike every other app that I’ve ever used, I can set the interface up exactly how I want it. I can connect my audio interface, my sequencers, pretty much everything and interact with it in ways that I wanna interact with it with so little fuss. To provide a little context, I’ve been using Ableton live for over a decade and a half. My sequencer of choice is an electron digitakt, however I am also very familiar with akai Mpc as well. i’ve been around, and used a lot of music equipment. i’m not saying loopy pro does things better than anything else. What I am saying is that it does what I want to do, it does it quickly, it does it easily, and so far it works reliable. I’m not using a new iPad. The iPad I’m using is several years old, and not one crash. This is ridiculous. Get. Loopy. Pro.
DeadPhish1,
It’s to much FUN!!!! 🎶🎸🥁🎺🎤🪘
I’ve never had so much fun with music before. I have always loved music and envied just how good some musicians are. I just know I could never be that good. I’ve tried for thirty years now. I get to a point were I learn how to play a new instrument but never master anything the talent just isn’t there. So over the years I have collected just enough knowledge on 5 or 6 of them to make some thing sound okay. With Loopy Pro I can take 5 or 6 instruments that sound okay and tweak and rearrange correct pitch, speed and tempo add FX bus sounds together. And create my own on screen controls quickly and intuitively then assign actions to those controls to control just about anything you can think of. Or map midi instruments and actions to your own controllers. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on music software over the years and never had more fun or been able to create anything so quickly and easily before. I think I like it so much because it’s so customizable you can make it look and function any way you like. I’ve never been able to learn a new music software so quickly. And I’ve never been so impressed with the support you get from the developer himself. I’ve asked a question on a facebook group about how to do something in the App. And the developer himself will respond to me. 🤩I Love It!!!
seamus the seamus,
The mothership has arrived
This is what I’ve been looking for in my journey of iOS music software as a hub for live clip launching and looping. Although there are features to use as a full DAW (that I’ve not yet explored), the possibilities for live set up, looping, clip manipulation are endless. Especially since it integrates AUV3s so well. This is as close (and in some ways better) as you will get to ableton live for the iOS.
This software, although simple and colorful in appearance is very deep. So beware, it will take some time to figure out how to customize and learn your way around this. It’s easy to get lost in the weeds and frustrated. I almost considered a 4 star review as I’m learning (and sometimes getting lost) on all the functions, but this is still just head and shoulders above any clip launcher or looping software that’s on the iOS. You also have a very responsive support network for troubleshooting and a developer that is responsive and committed to continue to make this even more awesome. I am certain this will keep getting better and better. Quite frankly, I never write reviews but I’ve never been as excited about, not just a live performance tool, but a truly creative platform for making music on the iPad. This is a game changer.

jgthespy,
Amazing live performance app
I’m new to live looping and have tried a few different setups but Loopy Pro has been the best by far. It can be as simple or as complicated as you want. If you just want to hop in and record some audio, you can just load it up and the default project is perfect to get started. From there, you can quickly add interface elements if there’s something specific you want to be able to do for whatever music you’re currently playing.
More importantly, everything is fast. Most things you’d want to do in the moment, you can do immediately using gestures. You can turn down the volume on an individual clip just by spinning your finger around it. It even helps with small interface elements in clever ways to quickly and temporarily make them larger.
If you want to jump down the rabbit hole, the interface is incredibly customizable with a large number of actions that you can map directly to controls or gestures on those controls.
The color groups are an amazingly intuitive way to deal with shared behavior. All of the I/O you’d want out of an iOS music app is there. It has its own arranger. I could go on.
It also has a free trial, so if it looks good, try it out. Just make sure you actually set aside some time to really try to make music with it. I toyed around with it a bit an then put off buying it for a while, but once I hooked it up to my hardware rig and starting using it for real, I quickly fell in love.

Great Workflow
Man. This app surprised me. I was originally looking just for an app to have good routing between various iOS apps and maybe record some guitar loops here and there. I quickly found the workflow super intuitive. I could layer stuff as fast as I could think of ideas. Being able to then sequence them on a timeline was even better. I was able to sync up my MC707 groovebox with it and now I get all the good tones of the 707, along with guitar or vocals through the 707 into my iPad and can do the fun arranging and experimenting in Loopy Pro. Once I have polished ideas, I can export stems to Zenbeats or Reaper and finish mixing and mastering there. I mainly needed the fast arranging piece that was missing on the 707 and in DAWs, and this seems to be the app. Well worth the $$ and the developer did a great job with UI. Being a former developer myself with an eye for UI, I can greatly appreciate that part of the experience. I'm sure I haven’t scratched the surface at all it can do either.
Eve Severe,
Loopy And Now Pro? Yay!
I have always loved Loopy but this takes it to a new level. Fantastic, fun, deep, and just one he// of a great app. The developer is a wonderful guy who has made a perfect companion app to the original Loopy. I have a Boss RC-505 and I rarely use it. I still use this app and the original Loopy at 90% of any live gigs I do. I just really dig the workflow of both apps. Also, this app is NOT subscription based. You can get a cheaper yearly subscription if you don’t want to spend a few more dollars but it isn’t one of those ‘money grab’ subscription apps. That is awesome. Yes-you have to dish out a bit more money up front but it is way cheaper than most of Korg’s apps and this is not a big corporation. This is a sole developer. If you have a question and send him an email-he will always respond. That is just one more thing that makes this app special. This and Loopy are hands down the best loopers for iOS.

Total Game Changer
This app is so powerful that I have yet to find the function that I need that Loopy Pro cannot provide. I’m admittedly a Loopy Pro rookie, but I’m a MIDI programmer and DAW user from way back. After 30 years in the game, there were many midi functions that I had made up my mind were simply not possible. Loopy Pro has forced me to completely change my way of thinking when arranging songs, using tools and deciding on creative direction. The usage of midi learn, the huge variety of midi controllable tools, and the automation of everything on board has made it possible for me to approach live performance of complicated midi productions in a way that is totally inclusive of the audience and allows the audience to see each step and engage in a way that keeps the performance of each song fresh and exciting with vocals and instruments that sound huge and energetic. Loopy Pro is a FIVE STAR GAME CHANGER!

Brilliant
This is not a subscription. You own the software once you buy it, period. The subsequent annual payments are just paying for feature releases. If you don't want that, no obligation. Use it as is forever. A subscription wouldn't allow that. You still get fixes for OS updates, too. If you want a product that improves over time, invest in it. If you don't see the value in that or it already does everything you need, then don't pay the measly ~$20/year and you still get to keep using the software. As for the person who left a bad review because they misunderstood this payment model, I counter that "greed" also applies to the consumer who thinks a developer owes them eternal time and effort for extra features with no additional compensation. This Dev is a good guy and fair. This product is a brilliant and beautiful creation. I recommend it without reservation.
SoBertese,
Canceled my 505
Ordered an RC505MKII months ago. Back ordered everywhere, but I could wait a few weeks, no problem. Got notified they’re looking at a 3-4 month setback. Bummer.
Later that week I was reminded of the Loopy upgrade from a post on Reddit. Realized I had everything already set up to utilize my iPad in my otherwise hardware setup. A few videos later I saw this was not the LoopyHD I knew with some bells and whistles, but much more.
Between looping korg gadget instruments and the moog model D app running thru different fx apps, and recording live drums and layering hardware synths and guitars, loopy pro has so far filled the gap in my setup and then some.
I’m hoping to utilize midi out to sequence hardware and launch sections on the fly. That’s the next trial run.
The sequencer section lets me sit at the drums and jam with myself with much more variety than my hardware alone can allow.
I’ve barely scratched the surface and I’ve already surpassed the capabilities of the 505. The number of loops alone makes it a no brainer.
Also, very pleased with the purchase method. In a world of ever increasing monthly subscriptions, this feels like a nice balance of value and keeping a project worthwhile for great developers. Hope it remains viable.

highlikeafly,
Powerful but (perhaps) overly complex
i’m a huge fan of Loopy HD i generally build all my tracks with it at some point so i was pretty psyched when Loopy Pro came out and i bought it as soon as i could. Personally i find it overly complex, not as direct as Loopy HD, it takes me awhile to build my loops and they generally end up a mess and essentially unusable by the time i’m thru. obviously this is just me, i’m sure other people can use it with great accuracy, i just find it cluttered and difficult to work with. i wish the developer had used the same format as HD and simply added the ability to link the loops to outside apps etc. Instead there’s too many controls, too much to go wrong and, in my case, it generally does. Nevertheless im still experimenting with it, maybe at some point it’ll click and i’ll be able to produce something viable with it. But for now Loopy HD is still my favorite of the two.
