The four-second loop would then run four times for every single revolution of the longer loop. So, with our four-second example loop, you could make another loop that runs double, or quadruple the length - eight or 16 seconds. But what if your first loop is a little drum loop, and you want to play a whole verse of guitar over the top of it? Loopy lets you change the length of loops to multiples of the original master loop. If you tap another, empty, loop, then it too will record for four seconds.
The first loop you record in Loopy is the “master.” Let’s say that it lasts four seconds. Loopy is also a good introduction to the concept of different-length loops. You can import loops and snippets from other instruments, mix and pan tracks, and change volume and other parameters, all by swiping or tapping the circles in the right way. However, if you can overcome the frustration, the app is fantastic. You’re required to swipe the orange bar to get to them, and you’ll always swipe in the wrong place. Loopy’s interface is hard to get to grips with - especially the settings.
