Loopy Pro: Compatibility Notes

This page is to track AUv3 compatibility with Loopy Pro. If you experience problems with an AUv3 in Loopy Pro that do not occur in other hosts, please add them to this page with notes explaining the problems.

Before adding to the list please:

• Check the AU in another host such as AUM.
• Make sure that you have set the tempo in Loopy Pro before deciding there is a problem. Some plugins require a defined host tempo before they will work.

Confirmed Issues

• Geoshred as a MIDI Controller. The GeoShred AU works fine as an instrument, but it is not currently working as a MIDI source.
• Noise from Roli

Unconfirmed Issues

• Digisticks with Akai MPD128. Some users have reported difficulties in adding both to Loopy Pro and managing MIDI routing.
• Zoom LiveTrak L-12 compatibility is uncertain, but as it is class-compliant, it should work fine.
• Logic Pro Integration. When using Loopy Pro as an AU in Logic, users report that Loopy Pro cannot host its own AUs, which limits functionality.

Best Practices

• Ensure Host Tempo: Set the tempo in Loopy Pro to ensure plugins requiring tempo information function correctly.
• Check MIDI Mapping: For MIDI controllers and AUv3 instruments, ensure that MIDI routing is configured correctly within Loopy Pro.
• Update Regularly: Keep both Loopy Pro and your plugins up to date to avoid compatibility issues.
• Use Class-Compliant Devices: When selecting audio interfaces or controllers, opt for class-compliant devices to ensure seamless integration.
