1. Loopy Pro 2: Polyphonic Clip Playback with MIDI

Explore one of Loopy Pro 2’s most powerful new features: polyphonic clip playback. This tutorial shows how to trigger audio clips using MIDI — either pitched, where each note plays a different pitch of the clip, or sliced, where each note plays a different part of the audio. You’ll learn how to set up MIDI routing to clips, configure playback modes, and fine-tune behavior with features like fade-out-based note decay. We’ll also cover how to use loops as polyphonic targets, letting them sustain while held, and how to add an intro section to act as a sample’s attack before the loop takes over.

2. Loopy Pro 2.0: MIDI Loops & Signal Flow Explained

Learn how to harness the power of MIDI loops in Loopy Pro 2.0. This tutorial walks you through connecting a MIDI controller — whether it’s an external keyboard or the new on-screen keyboard — to a MIDI loop for recording and looping MIDI performances. You’ll also learn how to route that loop to an AUv3 instrument or any other MIDI destination to bring your loops to life. Plus, we’ll take a look at the redesigned mixer and demystify the new signal flow system so you can take full control of your setup.

3. Loopy Pro 2: Organize Your Mixer with Collapsible Sections & Rows

Loopy Pro 2 introduces powerful new ways to keep your mixer tidy. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to collapse entire sections — like Inputs, Outputs, or Groups — to hide them until you need them. You’ll also see how to collapse individual rows to save space and reduce visual clutter, making it easier to focus on what matters in the moment.

Loopy Pro Artist Spotlight #1: Dub FX

video upload by Loopy Pro

"Welcome to the first episode of the Loopy Pro Artist Spotlight — a new series where I sit down with musicians who use Loopy Pro to talk gear, creative process, and the magic of building music live.

In this premiere episode, I’m catching up with none other than Dub FX — looping legend, street-performer-turned-festival-headliner, and longtime Loopy Pro user. He has been pushing the limits of live vocal looping for over a decade, and we dive deep into how he’s using Loopy Pro 2.0 to run his full live show.

🍩 Loopy Pro 2.0 is out today — July 11!
If you’re new here: Loopy Pro is the most powerful and flexible looper DAW around. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or building beats in your bedroom, it’s built for musicians who want total control.

🔍 In this episode, we cover:
• How Ben got into live looping and built his first busking rig
• The (very weird) story of how we met — and how he discovered Loopy Pro
• Why he replaced his RC-505 and Akai Force with just an iPad and Loopy Pro
• How he controls his vocal effects, pedals, and sequencer entirely from the APC40
• The plugins and processing chains he uses for live sound design
• Touring insights: his approach to backups, reliable USB hubs, and hardware quirks
• His approach to the full artist cycle — from writing and releasing, to content, clubs, and festivals
• His philosophy on collaboration — and how looping opens up space for others

Brand new granular effect from Sugarbytes, Graindad is quite fun and combines many of the best modulation aspects from apparilo and factory into a granular effect. Lots of randomization and neat features in this one"

See Graindad Realtime Granular FX by Sugar Bytes for more info.

Graindad Realtime Granular FX by Sugar Bytes

"Graindad is a realtime granular FX which offers high quality audio manipulation at extreme levels. Freeze, texturize or reorganize incoming audio material, controlled by transients, clocks or MIDI notes. A well thought out modulation system with intelligent randomizers ensures surprising results. Filters, reverbs, delays, and the mass manipulating harvester system round up to the best granular fx you can buy.

Explore the many faces of granular
Graindad is a granular effect for high quality realtime audio manipulation. Freeze, texturize or reorganize & slice your audio, triggered by transients, clocks or MIDI notes. A complex modulation system with intelligent randomizers provides astonishing results. Filters, reverbs, delays and the all-at-once manipulating Harvester complete the package.

Key Features
Grain Engine with up to 64 grains
12 main controller for easy handling
Harvester: Innovative modulation system
Freeze, Stutter, Glitch, Texturize
Multiband transient detector
Host sync and transient clock
16 step trigger sequencer

Modulation system with countless random functions
Morph between Harvester and modulation

What Graindad can do
With up to 64 grains Graindad offers extensive possibilities to define your sound in realtime. With 12 main parameters, quick and powerful access to granular synthesis is provided.

There are basically 2 modulation systems: a classical system with modulators like step sequencers, lfo, & envelope, for familiar access. And a modulation system called Harvester, which provides an easy and playful way to control multiple parameters at once in a visual manner. These two modulation systems can then be mixed for uniquely complex results.

Randomization is a big part of Graindad - varying amounts of randomization can be applied to nearly every parameter. Furthermore, there are dedicated functions to define when randomization should be generated, for example, a transient in your audio signal can trigger a randomizer.

See https://sugar-bytes.de/graindad for additional details.

Unique for iPad - Review - Part #1 - Audio Examples

Published on May 18, 2017 Midiverse - TV

"What's up everybody? Welcome to Midiverse - TV. Today we're going to be checking out a new iOS application from Sugar Bytes, Unique for iPad."

iTunes: Unique for iPad - Sugar Bytes GmbH

There's also an iPhone version: Unique for iPhone - Sugar Bytes GmbH

"Unique was made for fun and vibes: Analogue sound, intense modulation and a killer set of features, delivering an amazing sonic spectrum that’s full of character: Classy sounds, powerful, warm… sometimes gritty.

Each of the 2 oscillators offers a selection of 5 waveforms: sawtooth and pulse waves are here, along with noise, triple saw and triple FM waves. There's also an additional sub-oscillator strapped into the master section for added oomph.

The internal controllers will bring in the dynamics: an LFO and an envelope, there's a recordable XY field & a sequencer. Use these to modulate any knob – a simple long tap will do.

The sound springs to life when it hits the filter section. Needless to say, analogue high-pass, low-pass and band-pass varieties are in place, along with a comb filter.

Standards aside, the actual intention behind this project, the Vowel Filter, also became its outstanding feature: string together two or four vowel formants and play them back in a multitude of ways.

Once you’ve built your sound, there’s tons of sound polish in two chained multi-effect units.

Features

• Sawtooth, Triple Saw, Pulse, Triple FM, Noise with tonal Filter, Sub Sine
• 5 Filters with 5 Modulators each
• Duophone Arpeggiator
• Vowel Filter
• Two Effect Sections
• Ableton Link Kit & AudioBus
• MIDI Learn & Host Automation
• 300 groovy presets by various artists"

DIY Synthesizer - An up close look

Published on Aug 19, 2016 Trance Zero Space

"This is an up close look at what the home-made synthesizer, the 'ESL i-Lander,' can do. The synth is a combination of purposely short-circuited electronics from a toy keyboard and parts from a MIDI keyboard that utilize iPad effects applied to the short-circuited sounds. iPad programs used in this video were Turnado by Sugar Bytes (the effects applied through MIDI) and Cubasis (the DAW recording all audio)."

Looks like a steering wheel is attached to it. Imagine that for a knob. You could swap the Yamaha Montage's "super knob" with one.

"This is a rough demonstration of a home-made synthesizer named the 'ESL i-Lander.' The synth is a combination of purposely short-circuited electronics from a toy keyboard and parts from a MIDI keyboard that utilize iPad effects synthesis. iPad programs used are Audiobus, Loopy (to create loops from the audio of the ESL i-Lander), Turnado by Sugar Bytes (MIDI effects synthesis), and Cubasis (the DAW recording all audio)."
