** Tempo Setting ** - Because the tempo is usually set by recording your first clip, no tempo is set when you first launch Loopy Pro or create a new document. If you plan to use a MIDI sequencer or AU that uses host tempo (for arpeggiation or delay times) before you record any loops, set the tempo in the tempo panel that you get by tapping on the tempo (which will be ' | ** Tempo Setting ** - Because the tempo is usually set by recording your first clip, no tempo is set when you first launch Loopy Pro or create a new document.

+ | ** Count-In For First Loop ** - To have a count in for the first loop, set a tempo in the tempo panel. Make sure that Count In Quantization is set to your desired count-in length. Make sure the metronome is on. | ||
**Idle Mode** - A Loopy Pro innovation is idle mode. Loopy Pro frees up the CPU used by instruments and effects when it detects that they are idle and not being used. In many cases, this will allow you to have a set of synths and effects loaded that would bring other hosts to a halt. Normally, this happens seamlessly without your noticing. Instruments go idle when their channel is muted. Effects go idle when no signal is going through them. **Disabling Idle Mode**. There are times when you might not want an effect (particularly one that behaves as a synth or sampler or sequencer) to ever go idle. You can turn off the idling of that plugin by opening its window and long-pressing the On/Off/Idle label in the upper-right corner. | **Idle Mode** - A Loopy Pro innovation is idle mode.

+ | **Moving Projects Between the Standalone and AU Versions**. Loopy Pro projects can be moved between the standalone AU versions using the project manager panel that you get when tapping on the folder icon found in the upper-left of the screen. Tap on Projects to see the list of projects. At the top of the list, //Audio Unit Extension Folder// is shown. Only projects in that folder can be seen by the Loopy Pro Audio Unit (for arcane reasons known to Apple, the system does not allow it to be visible in the Files app). Move folders from standalone into that folder if you want them to be visible to the Audio Unit. **IMPORTANT NOTE**: audio units cannot load other audio units. If moving a project from standalone to the audio unit, remove any audio units first. You can also move projects from the Audio Unit folder into the main project folder. When the Audio Unit is open, it can only see the projects in the Audio Unit Extension Folder. | ||

- | **[[https:// | + | For what it is worth, I use Loopy Pro on a 6th generation (they came out in 2018). I can use synths and effects but I am limited in the number of synths that can be running simultaneously and the number of CPU-intensive effects that can be on at the same time. The previous generation iPad is significantly less performant. |
