Overview

What this series covers.

Inby's tutorials are practical walkthroughs from a performing loop artist. She shows free AUv3 instruments, sampling, the sequencer, follow actions, MIDI mapping, widgets, vocal effects, song-section controls, CPU-conscious effect switching, audio interface routing, and the Loopy Pro 2.0 template.

Free Instruments and Effects

Inby gives a quick tour of free AUv3 instruments and effects that can run inside a Loopy Pro setup. It is a useful shopping list for building a capable iPad rig without buying plugins first.

Plugins Effects Instruments
Episode notes
  • Find free AUv3 instruments such as BLEASS Monolit, Numa Player, and Decent Sampler.
  • Add free effects for colour, filtering, compression, tape, delay, and modulation.
  • Think of Loopy Pro as a host for a lightweight instrument-and-effects toolkit.

Sampler and Colour Destinations

Inby shows how sampled audio can become something playable, then connects that idea to colour destinations. The lesson covers transient slicing, even slicing, hold-to-play behaviour, and routing clips into the colours that should receive them.

Sampling One-Shots Audio Routing
Episode notes
  • Use Loopy Pro sampler basics to turn audio into playable slices.
  • Choose between dividing a sample by transients or splitting it evenly.
  • Use hold-to-play and colour destinations to make sampled material behave musically.

Sequencer and Follow Actions

A short song-performance example built around the sequencer and follow actions. Inby shows how a Loopy Pro arrangement can move through sections, use only part of a loop, and switch from sequenced structure into follow-action behaviour.

Sequencer Follow Actions Performance Workflow
Episode notes
  • Read the sequencer as a performance timeline for a song.
  • Add clips to the sequencer and use partial loop playback creatively.
  • Use follow actions to continue the arrangement after a clip or section changes state.

Equipment, MIDI, Widgets, and Vocal Effects

Inby opens up a song template and walks through the physical rig, controller setup, widgets, sliders, one-shots, slicers, and vocal effects. It is a dense look at how a performance page can expose the controls a song actually needs.

Hardware MIDI Widgets
Episode notes
  • Plan a portable setup with iPad, adapter, USB hub, audio interface, MIDI keyboard, and foot controller.
  • Create widgets for input mute, gain, clip volume, overdub, clearing clips, presets, pitch, rate, and drum recording.
  • Map vocal effects and other performance controls to MIDI for hands-on control.

Live Vocal Effects, Samplers, and Loop Modes

Using a cover template as the example, Inby compares input choices, builds master and metronome sliders, explains phase-locked versus free loops, maps vocal effects, and turns clips into a playable sampler.

Audio Input Effects Sampling
Episode notes
  • Choose input options and expose metronome and master volume as sliders.
  • Decide when a loop should stay phase-locked and when it can run freely.
  • Build a custom sampler and map vocal effects with MIDI in mind.

Project-Wide Follow Actions and Programming

Inby uses a song template to show larger performance logic: project-wide follow actions, fading sections, call-and-response moves, grouped clip playback, and master effects. The final section gets into more involved programming ideas.

Follow Actions Widgets Effects
Episode notes
  • Use project-wide follow actions to coordinate behaviour across a template.
  • Fade out a section and create call-and-response movement between clips.
  • Play and stop groups of clips while using master effects for performance changes.

Arranging, Merging Loops, and Managing CPU

A song-arrangement lesson focused on keeping live looping manageable. Inby shows section widgets, merge-and-move follow actions, gestures for dividing clip length, and ways to save CPU by turning off unused effects.

Performance Workflow Follow Actions Gestures
Episode notes
  • Use widgets to represent verse, bridge, chorus, and other song sections.
  • Merge or move clips with follow actions as part of a live arrangement.
  • Turn effects on only when needed and map effect controls to sliders.

Inby's 2.0 Template

Inby walks through her Loopy Pro 2.0 template, from performance faders and section buttons to new mixer elements, MIDI sources, the built-in keyboard, piano roll editing, button grids, MIDI loops, one-shots, and rotary encoders.

Templates Mixer MIDI
Episode notes
  • Use faders and buttons for volume, pitch, rate, solo, section playback, input, overdub, and clearing clips.
  • Route inputs, destinations, sources, and MIDI through the expanded mixer workflow.
  • Create MIDI loops, one-shots, separate keyboards, sound-selection grids, and rotary controls.

An Improvised Walk-Through

The longest episode is an open-ended build from mixer and inputs into loops, widgets, effects, MIDI mapping, AUv3 instruments, colour destinations, panning, reverb, drum pads, and live looping. It works well as a broad demonstration of how the pieces connect.

Mixer Widgets MIDI
Episode notes
  • Build a project from mixer setup, tempo, metronome, loop length, widgets, sliders, and effects.
  • Use MIDI Learn, pitch controls, AUv3 instruments, presets, colour destinations, and panning in performance.
  • Import drum samples into one-shots, set MIDI channels, and route colour destinations back into loops.

Zoom AMS-44 and Loopy Pro Routing

Inby reviews the Zoom AMS-44 as a portable live-looping interface, then demonstrates how to use it with Loopy Pro. The Loopy Pro section focuses on routing audio and the metronome in a practical hardware setup.

Hardware Audio Input Audio Routing
Episode notes
  • Understand the role of a portable audio interface in a live-looping rig.
  • Route interface audio into Loopy Pro for performance.
  • Route the metronome separately so monitoring works on stage.

Features Inspired by Inkie's Artist Spotlight

Inby experiments with ideas from Inkie's artist spotlight: retrospective recording, gestures, moving clips between colours, Mela, XY-pad clip recording, and restoring saved effect values. It is a compact bridge between artist workflow and hands-on setup.

Retrospective Recording Gestures Widgets
Episode notes
  • Use retrospective recording to catch material after playing it.
  • Apply gestures and colour moves to reshape clips quickly.
  • Use an XY pad to record clips and restore saved values for effects.
