LoopTree Looper App For iOS
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , , ,

LoopTree

The iPad Loops music apps blog is proud to announce news about LoopTree by Coding Cod Ltd

LoopTree is an exciting new breed of looper that brings more fun than ever to creating live music! Record and group practically unlimited vocal and instrumental loops using a powerful, layered interface that gives you unrivaled control over the music you create. Get your creative juices flowing and evolve your loops using the built-in filter and multi-touch beat repeat.

LoopTree solves the problem of destructive merging by instead combining your loops into layers. You retain individual control over your original loops and you can also control them as one using the new layer.

LoopTree-Looper-For-iOS

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

• Audiobus Remote
• Audiobus triggers
• Unlimited number of loops (practically!)
• Non-destructive layering
• Beat repeat – sample, repeat and reverse loops
• Filter – add variety with an LPF, BPF and HPF

RECORDING

• Normal recording – fixed or multiple length loops
• Chained recording – select multiple tracks to record loops back-to-back
• Layered recording – equivalent of non-destructive overdubbing

LOOP LENGTH

Within a session, all loops are a 2^n multiple of the shortest loop (2x, 4x, 8x, etc). This makes it really easy to set the loop length whilst recording.

EASY TO USE

• One-finger volume/pan control on individual or simultaneous loops
• Group control – group tracks into layers; parent tracks control all layers of child tracks.
• MIDI Control
• Quantize options
• Metronome – create custom accented rhythms

SHARING AND IMPORT

• Support for IAA, Audiobus, Audiobus Remote
• AudioCopy – copy session recordings and combined loops
• AudioPaste – start your session with pasted audio
• Share sessions and recordings via email, iTunes and SoundCloud

AUDIO INTERFACES

LoopTree works well with headphones, but for truly outstanding quality, we recommend using a USB audio interface. We have tested the following interfaces:

• Behringer UCA222 and 202
• Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (includes MIDI)

You must be looking for the best voice looper for iPad. Well here have compiled a list of some of the best voice looper apps. Whether you a beatboxer, singer, or just like playing with your voice these apps will help you take your performance to the next level.

Best Voice Looper
VoiceJam Studio – TC Helicon $4.99

Sing, Loop, Share. What if you could create something musically amazing with just your voice? What if you didn’t need musical instruments, sheet music, or complicated recording software? What if you could create an entire song with your voice, simulating bass lines, melodies, rhythms and sound effects, all in one pass, without ever stopping to think about it?

At the heart of VoiceJam is a powerful audio looper. An audio looper works by recording sounds you make while playing them back in a repeating loop. The cool thing is that as the loop repeats, you can keep layering new sound on top of it. You can harmonize with yourself, add rhythms with your voice, record the sounds of random objects in your life – the possibilities are endless.

That’s just the beginning. VoiceJam was designed from the ground up to be a live performance tool. You’ll be able to perform and record an entire masterpiece from scratch using only the sounds you can create with your voice or with the objects in your world. The length of your audio recordings are only limited by the storage available on your device.

Features:

– Get started right away with an easy to follow audio tutorial, walking you through all the important features.
– Instantly record and layer to 6 separate loops, jumping between them at will. Loops can be up to 60 seconds long.

Best Voice Looper
Fiddlewax Yellow – Fiddlewax $2.99

Create your own music from the ground up using just your voice and whatever is around you. Realtime harmony lets you create and layer sounds as fast you can think of them. Unleash your imagination and build awesome audio tracks in seconds.

Unlike other pitch shifters which often quantize and auto-tune notes relative to a key, Fiddlewax Yellow builds polyphonic full-spectrum harmonies. Slide and bend the pitch of your voice and Yellow will seamlessly follow along.

Yellow lets you make music whenever the inspiration strikes. You will need headphones to record, though, so be sure to have some handy.

Features:

• Realtime 3-part vocal harmony using our very own super fast, polyphonic, pitch-shifting and audio analysis pipeline. Sing and synthesize new sounds and audio textures on the fly.
• Built-in effects to add chorus, distortion, reverb, low-pass, and high-pass filters with the push of a button. Quickly transform your voice into other instrument sounds as you play.
• Synchronized, auto-expanding looper to layer up to 6 audio tracks at once. Easily start/stop any track and clear tracks individually when you want to overwrite/undo.
• Integrated recording function to save and share songs. Send to other installed apps, attach to email, or download later from iTunes when you sync your device.
• Low-level core audio implementation makes everything run super fast and robust (built using The Amazing Audio Engine).
• Headphone-aware control logic reduces the chance of squeaky feedback while you record.
• Great for all experience levels, from beginners to experts.
• Precision interface optimized for 10-finger multitouch.

Fiddlewax instruments are designed from the ground up to enable anyone who enjoys music to experiment, play, and create their own songs without formal teaching or instruction.

Every aspect of Fiddlewax puts music first. The simple interface helps musicians focus on what they’re creating; there are no ads, faux-wood textures, or frivolous interaction to distract from the creative process.

Fiddlewax takes the best of both physical and virtual instruments to create something totally new. Full 10-finger multitouch support and maximum playing area provide for seamless digital interaction, while under the hood, samples are processed and routed as analog signals with variable frequency and timing.

Everest : Audio Looper For iOS
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Everest-Audio-Looper

Record, play, and remix audio loops in real-time from the audio input of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Designed for both live and studio use, Everest puts the power of four road-worthy, independently controlled, self-synchronizing samplers in the palm of your hand.

Everest

• Ultimate Control: Over 10 different operations and functions can be performed on each loop, including:

~Undo/Redo – Up to 16 levels of Undo per loop; jump to older loops all while staying in sync.
~Overdub – Add new audio on top of a loop, just like those old tape machines from the 70’s.
~Multiply – Overdub longer loops over shorter loops, or shorten a longer loop.
~Bounce – Merge many loops into one, even while making real-time changes.
~Insert – Splice new audio in the middle, beginning or end of any loop.
~Windowing – Change the start point and length of the loop in real time.
~Scrub – Perform manual granular synthesis: drag short loop windows across the waveform.
~Reverse – Play loops backwards without losing synchronization.
~Bookmark – Save your position in the undo history for future recall.
~Multi-Mute – Toggle playback of loops, going back and forth between two different sets.
~Rewind – Restart loops for stutter type effects, or temporarily wrangle asynchronous loops.
~Feedback – Fade loops to silence at any time, even while adding new audio.
~Volume – Dedicated output level faders. Good for bringing loops in and out of the mix.
~Replace – Punch-In record any segment of the loop with new audio, while keeping the rest.

• Sample-Accurate Sync : No time-stretching here. Loops of different lengths can perfectly synchronize to each other, allowing for complex polyrhythms and time signature changes. No slipping, no artifacts, no drifting, no distortion.

• Local Quantization Defeat : Sometimes swirling chaos is a good thing. Disable quantization at will, on any loop, without affecting the other loops.

• Universal App : Runs on most devices (including iPhone 4 and iPad 2), as perfect for pedal boards as it is for desktops.

• Musical Editing : Use the multi-touch enabled waveform view to radically alter the length, position, and direction of each loop. Finally, audio you can play like an instrument!

• Dynamic Interface : Automatically adjusts for different device orientations and screen sizes.

• Inter-App Audio Compatible : Can be hosted inside of, and synced to, an IAA enabled host. Rapidly record different guitar or vocal takes without committing to saving the audio, or use the host instruments and tracks to keep time while you create the perfect loop. Can also host two other apps (Generator and Effect).

• Save & Copy : Save loops as they play for archiving on your device or copy loops as they play for pasting into other apps that support pasting audio. Share your creations with your friends.

• MIDI Controllable : Comprehensive MIDI implementation for control via keyboards, foot switches and more. Control all the loops with as few as two controls or sequence every detail from your favorite DAW. Supports wireless control via WiFi and Bluetooth LE.

• Flexible Audio Routing : Support for quadraphonic input and outputs. Send each loop to its own amplifier or give each band member their own looper!

• Built-In Help : No network connection? No problem. Contains detailed embedded descriptions of all loop functions and MIDI controls.

• Tweak-able : Everest automatically saves settings, options, and parameters. These include quantization behavior, panning, crossfading, MIDI channel and more.

• Lightweight : Everest does not come burdened with a sample or loop library. The install size is small, it uses a modest amount of memory, all while running very efficiently, especially in the background.

***Beware of microphone feedback when looping, in general. Everest is best used with headphones, headsets or class compliant audio hardware. If you must use the internal speakers/microphone, try turning noise canceling on under the settings menu.
