 Loopy Pro can be very deep, but out of the box it is as straightforward as the classic Loopy. This guide is here to get you up and running with the basics. We'll get deeper elsewhere. Loopy Pro can be very deep, but out of the box it is as straightforward as the classic Loopy. This guide is here to get you up and running with the basics.

-**Audio Sources** Choose Audio Sources in the utility menu (with the cog icon) to set up your project's audio sources. Audio sources can be the internal mic, attached audio interfaces, AUv3 instruments and color groups. When you add an audio source, color buttons appear below the source and determine which color groups the source feeds. By default, a new audio source is aimed at all colors. Tap Open to open the source's user interface. You can set the source's MIDI source from that window. After you add an Audio Source, an icon for it will be visible (unless you choose to hide it) in the main u.i. that you can use to enable/disable it and to get to its user interface.+**Audio Sources**. Choose Audio Sources in the utility menu (with the cog icon) to set up your project's audio sources.

 **Colors**. Color groups are tracks that share properties. They are like instrument buses. All tracks of th same color share the same audio source (which can even be another color) have a group volume, pan and effects settings. They also share properties such as quantization. They aren't simply cosmetic. The paint bucket tool can be used to change the color group to which a track belongs. Tapping on the color's pencil brings up panel to edit the properties associated with a color. These can override global settings. **Assigning Colors** The quickest way to change a loop's color assignment is to flick up on a loop, Tap on the color to pop up the color picker. You can also assign colors with the layout editor. Tap the pencil to get into layout edit mode. Tap on the the paint bucket icon to get to the color assignment page. Tap a color to activate it. Tapping its pencil brings up the properties associated with the color. Tapping an audio element (a track or one shot) will assign it to the activated color. Color groups don't apply to widgets that don't contain audio. **The user interface and workflow are currently being refined to streamline audio source assignments** **Colors**.

-** Pages/Scenes** Loopy can be set up with different scenes that can be used for song sections. Tapping a scene's button switches to the scene's page. Long-pressing the scenes label during playback will switch to that scene and start it playing (and stop the other one playing) at a time determined by the playback quantization settings.+** Pages/Scenes**. Loopy can be set up with different scenes that can be used for song sections.

 +**Sequencer**. The sequencer provides a way to sequence loops. Normally, it runs as a linear timeline, but you can turn looping on for the sequencer by tapping the loop icon that appears in the top icon row. When loop mode is on, a selection bar appears in the timeline to set the portion that loops. You can set up sequenced recording of loops by dragging out empty events in the timeline and arming them for recording.  
 + 
 +**Record** - The record button at the top of the screen lets you choose whether to record audio (in order to record a performance) with options about what to record. **Record Sequence** records your actions (turning loops on and off) as a linear sequence in the sequencer.
