Loopy 2 Press Release

As you know already know Loopy 2 has arrived. Here's the press release:

Savvy, tactile new iPhone live looper app reinvents the iPhone music making formula

ISLE OF SKYE, Scotland, June 16, 2011

From the software artisans at A Tasty Pixel comes a savvy, sophisticated new iPhone live looping app that combines power with simplicity. A sleek, tactile interface lets anyone create music by layering looped recordings of singing, beatboxing, or playing an instrument. A wealth of rich, expressive features let more advanced users take their creativity even further.

“We looked at the current offering of iPhone loopers, and realised there seemed to be apps that were powerful but hard to use, or easy to use but light on features,” said A Tasty Pixel founder Michael Tyson. “We designed Loopy 2's interface so it doesn't have to compromise – it's fun, right from the start, but packs a punch for advanced users.”

Loopy’s unique approach allows it to maintain an easy-to-use, simple-as-pie interface whilst still packing in powerful, industry-standard features. Users familiar with professional studio applications like Ableton Live will not be disappointed by Loopy's feature set, which includes overdubbing, merging, panning, time shifting, and live tempo scaling. A sophisticated interactive tutorial system lets users discover Loopy 2's more advanced features at their own pace.

Loopy 2 empowers musicians and casual users alike to:


Record and Layer:

• Six tracks, represented by six beautiful circular loops.
• Count-in and count-out lets you keep your hands free to play an instrument.
• Overdub, to build beautiful, complex soundscapes from many layers.

Import and Construct:

• Import loops (AIFF, WAV, MP3 and more) from your computer.
• Integrated MAPI AudioPaste to bring in audio from other apps.
• Imported loops are automatically fit to your beat, no matter what tempo.

Manipulate and Tweak:

• Full stereo audio with pan controls.
• Drag a track onto another track to merge.
• Live, dynamic tempo adjustment, without altering the pitch.

Perform and Share:

• Record whole performances with in-app session recording facilities, and upload straight to SoundCloud, and post to Twitter or Facebook.
• Email audio clips.
• Share audio with many other audio apps with MAPI AudioCopy.

Device Requirements:

• iPhone 3Gs or newer, or 3rd-generation iPod Touch or newer (microphone accessory recommended) running iOS 4.0 or later.
• Loopy 2 runs on the iPad and iPod Touch, but it is not specifically designed for these devices. iPod Touch users must use Loopy with a headset, as the iPod Touch does not have an inbuilt microphone.

Pricing and Availability: Loopy 2 is available at the special launch price of $2.99 (USD) exclusively through the App Store in the Music category.
