Clip Settings
This section documents settings that are new or have changed in version 2.0.
Beat Quantization
Non-destructive playback quantization for MIDI and audio clips.
NOTE: While Beat Quantization can apply to both MIDI and audio clips, it is primarily intended for MIDI playback quantization. Audio beat quantization is an in-process experimental feature that will work better with some sources than others.
Beat/Grid Display
The display at the top of the Beat Quantization display shows the grid points to which notes are pulled when quantized. The lines are a sixteenth-note grid. The white dots are the grid points to which notes are quantized. The display is dynamically updated as the settings are changed.
The play button plays clicks at the grid points to sonify the quantization grid.

Mixer 2.0
Loopy Pro’s powerful mixer gives you control over your project’s audio and MIDI inputs and outputs, effects, AUv3 and IAA instruments. In its simple form, you can adjust levels and balance, mute and solo for each colour in your project. In its extended form, you can add audio and MIDI sources, add effects, add Audio Unit and IAA instruments, add buses, specify hardware outputs, set up audio and MIDI routing, and collapse mixer sections (which will become hidden when the mixer is in simple mode).
Open the mixer by tapping the [MIXER ICON GOES HERE] button from the main screen.
SIMPLE VS EXTENDED MODE
When you first open the mixer, it will be displayed in its simple form, with just the faders and lower controls visible. Collapsed mixer sections are hidden in simple mode. You will see your canvas above, with your loops and one-shots visible.
Tap the [ICON FOR EXTENDED MODE] button to put the mixer into extended mode. The mixer will grow, and the extended controls will become visible. Tap [ICON FOR SIMPLE MODE] to retract the mixer again into simple mode.
SECTIONS AND ROWS
SECTIONS (COLUMNS)
By default, Loopy organizes channel strips into sections: (audio) inputs, MIDI (hardware controllers and MIDI ports), MIDI Plugins, MIDI Colors, Colors (audio), Buses, and Outputs (currently Master channel).
Sections can be collapsed by tapping [COLLAPSE ICON]. Collapsed sections can be expanded by tapping [EXPAND ICON]. Collapsed sections are hidden when the mixer is in simple mode.
You can tap on items in a collapsed section to show that item in the mixer. Such items are given a white frame in the collapsed section display.
MIXER ROWS
The mixer has rows for: sources, pre-fader effects, post-fader effects, destinations and sends. Tapping on a + icon in a slot lets you add an item to that row. Rows can be collapsed by tapping [COLLAPSE ICON]. Collapsed rows can be expanded by tapping [EXPAND ICON]. Collapsed rows can also be expanded by tapping in them. When a row is collapsed a dot indicates that the row cell contains an item.
