 **Retrospective Looping**. Loopy is always listening when the clock is running. When you turn on Retrospective Recording in the settings (it can be set in clip settings or color settings or for individual clips),tapping an empty clip will fill the clip with the previous cycle's audio. The amount of audio captured is determined by the master cycle length which you can set in the tempo/clock panel that pops up when you tap the tempo display. There are two retrospective modes, Quantized and Immediate. **Quantized** grabs the last complete cycle of audio. You have plenty of time after the cycle completes to tap a clip and capture a perfect loop. **Immediate** captures a cycle length of audio that ends at the moment you tap. If phase-lock is in, Immediate will "rotate" the captured audio to keep it phase-locked. A brief demonstration can be seen on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84cw765f-yI|YouTube]] **Retrospective Looping**. Loopy is always listening when the clock is running.

 +**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.
  
-===== Videos and Tutorials =====+**Sending MIDI To Loopy**. When you send MIDI to Loopy Pro with virtual MIDI, use the //Virtual MIDI In// MIDI source to receive the MIDI.
  
-{{youtube>jWT7Mik8WOg|DUB FX - Loopy Pro - Is this the Future of Looping}}+**Record on Press**. Because release is more precisely detected than initial touch, Loopy normally uses the release moment to initiate recording. You put your finger down and remove it for very precise recording initiation. In the Gestures settings (accessed from the Clip Settings panel), you can turn on Record on Press in order for the initial touch to start recording. When this is on, actual recording starts immediately but the recording animation doesn’t start until the finger is removed.
  
-{{youtube>xjuDqrxjRVg|Loopy Pro and AUM Workflow}}+**Default Project and [[loopy_pro:templates|Templates]]** A project can be made a template by tapping the star icon in Loopy Pro’s save dialog. If there is only one template, it will be used when you choose New Project. If you want to use the factory default project in this situation, long-press New Project. If more than one project has been marked as a template, New Project pops up a list of the available templates. See **[[loopy_pro:templates|Templates]]**.

 +**Suggested Hardware**. Loopy Pro can run on any hardware that can run the required OS version. Loopy Pro can run well on some pretty ancient hardware if you are doing simple audio looping and don't need much in the way of AUv3 effects or synths.
  
-==== A Tasty Pixel's Loopy Pro Playlist ====+What model iPad or iPhone you need depends on how you will be using Loopy. If you want to use a lot of synths/effects or synths/effects that are processor intensive, one needs a more capable iPad than if one is using fewer synths or less cpu-intensive synths or effects. Also, if one wants to run with effects and a very small buffer, a more powerful iPad helps (small buffers are more cpu-intensive).
  
-**[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyKJ3UJ32tw&list=PLuWZIeTe6vr4Nx6A0MDnij5QCynFZEiDb&index=2|A Tasty Pixel's Loopy Pro Playlist]]**+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.
