Thanks! I use Midi Guitar 2; for the precise routing, see my "Episode" 144 on Drums in Loopy Pro more generally...

@@UnlikelyArrangements oh nice. I have that app, but I haven’t tried it in a long time. I’ll have to check out your video 144 and give it another try. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll probably make a video of all that stuff at some point, but am a bit short of time at the moment… So the short version on the guitar stuff is Gigfast Lite with some NAM profiles for guitars (maybe some Bass Mint to boost?), and the synth sounds are played via Midi Guitar 2 which is good but 3 is on the horizon. The sounds it plays are ”auto-sampled” from good but slightly unusable sources (World Piano, SampleTank) to an app called Audiolayer - it’s a bit clumsy to use, but once you have the sounds in, it switches them very swiftly and is also light on memory (so I don’t have to pack Loopy Pro full of separate synth apps as well, given it already hosts everything I mentioned above and then some...)

@@UnlikelyArrangements man this is insane. You must be a magician. Thanks appreciate your response. Look forward to your video

@@musicallyunpluggedmanish9023 One direct usb cable from the amp's audio usb port to the iPad or iPhone, also works with a camera adapter if they have Lightning ports. Check the end of the full video, and perhaps the "Episode" after that too...

Thanks! I arranged these years ago as just such a medley, so the missing parts would have to be figured out separately - but I hope this serves as something for you to build and go further...?

It should work by just connecting the LIVE's "audio/data" port (at the back) to the iPad via usb-c; if you have a Lightning port on the iPad, you'll need an Apple Camera adapter too (as in my earlier video, EP154; compare to EP153). That should be enough, and you should be able to control the looper volume via the LIVE's "music" knob; in Loopy Pro, it's probably best to disable "monitoring" from the input that it should recognize automatically. As for Loopy, there's a detailed manual at loopypro.com, a very helpful user group on Facebook, and loads of instructional videos on UA-cam - among my own, EP138 contains the most detailed beginners' advice though the case there is rather special. Hope this helps?

Thanks for asking - this one is so reliant on all sorts of AuV3 that it's bound to look messy at best, so I'd rather not share it publicly (if I still find it). But if you want to look at some of the programming, I can send it over email - feel free to hit me with a request at unArrg[at]icloud.com?

Thanks! It's a fun technique: hit the guitar a bit harder and you get the snare sound - thanks to an app called Fosfat (within Loopy Pro, being only used as a mixer here). I'll make some longer videos on these drum experiments later. How's your progress? 🙃

@@UnlikelyArrangements The PreSonus interface has no ghost phantom power. I got an Amazon adapter and it didn’t work. Just got a proper Apple adapter to have dual lightning input to iPad and things are looking promising. I have had an unexpected health issue and that slowed me up a bit. Getting better and should be more ambitious in a few days 👍🏻

Hope it works out - still, health goes first!

I would be glad to help at some point, if our time zones are aligned enough for Zoom calls :). But before that, please drop me an email (at unArrg[at]icloud.com) to clarify what you hope to do, with some technical specifications - what's your interface with the iPad, do you need to use footswitches and so on? Loopy Pro can be very simple but also immensely complex, and I reckon it's not for everyone even if I would always recommend trying it out!

DigiStix has more sounds and a complex interface - Slammer is simpler but has an edge to it that I certainly dig a lot!

Thanks! In this one, it's a Lekato WS-50 5.8 GHz.

It does sound slappy, yes, but it's just a random combo of plugins within Loopy Pro: QVox to PRIMO to Tonestack PRO to TS Barricade...

sorry, I don't understand your answer: at the beginning of the video we can see that you play the bass with the guitar. How did you pitch down the Guitar an octave without latency?

In those terms, my octaver effect here is the plugin QVox, but then I added all those others - all live and all inside Loopy Pro - to make it sound more convincing.

@@UnlikelyArrangements Great, Thank you. I will try. It grooves and sounds exremly good !!!

It's a fairly random combination of plugins within Loopy Pro: QVox to PRIMO to Tonestack PRO to TS Barricade...

@@UnlikelyArrangements nuchas gracias bro

No problem, it's a great app I've been using for years!

Thanks so much! I think it's pretty neat too, and I certainly need it myself! 😎

There is a physical MIDI input in the back, if you have something to put there; MIDI commands are listed in the manual. There is a wireless controller for the Sparks too, but people seem to struggle with them...

Ideally you could send MIDI from Loopy through the usb, but the Spark doesn't currently support it

@@UnlikelyArrangementsthe spark controlx not yet released in France will allow the control of the presets change but cost a lot. The solution would be maybe to plug two wireless midi from CME. One into the spark midi and another into a soundcard with a controler or a midi keyboard plugged on it 😅 the advantage would be to have a wireless solution not only for a spark amp. Am I right ?

@@ericfreget I think it should work but haven't tried those either 🙃. When I want full control, I use other guitar plugins that I can manage inside Loopy Pro (as in my "Episode" 148) and run it to the Spark's stereo inputs 3/4 - it's quite nice as just a monitor as well.

Ok Thx for your answer ! Why don’ t you just get rid of the effects via the input one instead of plugging the guitar in the 3/4 inputs ? Btw, you rock as a guitarist !

Yes, If you want layers and complexity. No, if you only need one quick backing track which is what I demonstrate here: there is latency in the transition (twice in the video), but it hardly matters. It was a bummer to notice there is a lag even over the usb, though - in the Spark LIVE it works, not quite with the MINI. As to Bluetooth, there is apparently a practically no-latency protocol coming up, as well...

I presume you have DigiStix as an audio source in Loopy? Check its "destinations" in the mixer view and see that it's not going to any colour. As for the guitar input, check also if you have "monitoring" on or off - off is better for playing, but I had mine on so I could screen record all the sound on the iPad. Hope this helps?

OR if you have DigiStix open as a standalone app, try opening it within Loopy Pro instead, as "audio unit" and see it's not recorded into any colour destination (as I supposed to be the case in my other reply).

Thx a lot for your answer. I didn’t muted an audio loop I recorded few days later so everything is finally fine 😂

In my very latest video from last week I showcase a Bluetooth MIDI controller with Loopy Pro on an iPhone, and certainly you can use a wired controller too. Also, there can be different Bluetooth connections at the same time, so one for the audio and another for MIDI might work, but I'm not sure. Let me know if you test it out?

Btw, a wired controller will likely disable the phone mic I'm using here, so it becomes more complex as you should route everything through the interface. On the other hand, I regularly do that sort of thing too, with the Harley Benton MP-500 aka MeloAudio TS Mega. Smaller than what Markus K has, but quite ok with eight foot switches etc...

Markus K is very nice to watch and listen to. I hope to meet him one day. This is a really good video you have made. I’m getting closer to going Loopy. Thanks 👍🏻

@@kerryfromaj9032Thanks! Markus K also has a very good hour-long Loopy Pro tutorial with the title, “The Blues Looper Man reveals his Secrets”, be sure to check that out! (Inbar Heyman has good ones too, though she doesn’t do guitar as such.)

I have in some other situations, but here the data/audio usb actually works in and out with no latency - which is always an issue with current Bluetooth protocols. Can be used with an adapter for Lightning connectors (and hence even old iPhones as shown in my follow-up video), but I couldn't quite make it work on my Spark MINI.

(Ok, it works on the MINI too, if you use usb-C to an iPad Pro; in most other scenarios you'd need some extra power from an adapter or such)

Sure, drop a request to the obscure email in my channel description? Not sure if it will be compatible though, as I’m running a BETA version of Loopy on this iPhone. The template itself is very basic, however, so if there’s some specific aspect you’re interested in, I could just walk through it in these comments :).

Thanks Alex!

Nope. As stated, it's other plugins within the looper app, but it does play live through the LIVE...

@@UnlikelyArrangements I have the Xsonic looper. I saw nothing of any app.

Well in this video, and my previous Spark LIVE posting, all you see is the LOOPY PRO app, first on an iPad and now an iPhone - just connect it to the Spark LIVE via usb and you’re good to go. As I try to demonstrate, it’s a bit more versatile than most - well, any - hardware loopers; in fact you can build it according to your needs for every song if you want to. (AND as I show here, you CAN add external controllers to Loopy Pro, too, if that’s your thing.)
