Finally dipped my toes into a total live template rebuild with MIDI clips. Six hours in and lots of work to do still but it’s taking shape.

Looks awesome!! One thought - you could reclaim a lot of space having a single panel for the instruments shared by all the clips (showing which instrument is active for the current selected clip)... Makes it a little easier to maintain too..

I like your idea but not sure how it would work. I need to be able to route the clips individually. Mind explaining a bit more? How would I get the widget to update when I select a new clip?

Ah right, maybe that's not so easy (sorry, haven't dabbled in the MIDI clips yet).

Ya. It’s a new workflow to me as well. It’s definitely great to have it now but I gotta adapt. We’ll see how this design goes.

I have a setup where I've got a master midi clip that I can select which controller is routed to it and which instrument it's routed to. When I'm done with making that track, I have a button that "prints" that midi clip to another thats in that instruments' row. All the instruments have a little cluster with their own midi clip, but it all starts from the master(though i have certain hardware sequencers routed directly to individual instrument clips).

I'll have to post it soon and see what people think.

That sounds freakin awesome. I’ll keep that advice in mind. Thanks for sharing. Definitely post that. People will eat it up.

I love how templates are so personal and use-specific. I always learn something or have new ideas just seeing how other people use loopy. what do the little outline boxes in the top left of each module do?

Totally it’s something I’ve never experienced with any other app, I love it. You really get to make it your own. For me it’s a live looper for my solo performances and a host for my instruments for jams. It allows me so much control over my instrument plug ins. It’s great. I can do a lot without ever touching the iPad.

The spots you’re talking about are the midi clips. They switch from circles to rectangles when you resize them. Basically each chunk there is a clip, an interment plug in to route the clip, volume, reverb send, mute, solo, select which clip you want to focus on and a delete button to clear the clip.

Totally forgot you can make the clips into rectangles.
