"a looper unlike any other.. you would be damn wrong not to test it.." - Guitar Part Magazine June 2014 (biggest french guitar magazine) Loopr is the first 64 tracks loop song sequencer / multiple phrase looper with MIDI controls and sync for real time live composition. A musical instrument like no other. "Loopr is a budget-priced bargain that is well worth a punt even if only to experiment with. This is a very capable – if slightly quirky – looper app at a pocket money price." musicappblog.com November 2013 Honorable mention as finalist in the Best App Ever Awards 2013 ( http://www.bestappever.com/awards/2013/winner/musc ) Loopr is a low latency loop recorder, player and step sequencer designed for realtime phrase and song composition using your iDevice. Compose, practice, jam along, or sample audio soudscapes easily with this compact pro-oriented loopstation. It is focused on ergonomy and simplicity via one-finger but also hands-free MIDI pedalboard controls, and lets you synchronize drum machines and sequencers via its MIDI out sync. Loop sessions can be exported/imported as independent files (including tempo and time signature information), for you to share the groove or use with most desktop audio production apps (e.g. Logic Studio, Garage Band, ...). Using iTunes file sharing or email, you can easily manage your work beyond your iPhone or iPod Touch. Loopr is CoreMIDI and CoreAudio compatible and enables you to use most popular iOS compatible interfaces.

Learn the fretboard. Train your ear. Keep your whole playing life in one place. Fretify turns the hardest part of guitar into something you actually want to do every day. A game drills every note on the neck, real tools help you practice, and the gear side keeps track of your instruments and the nights you play them. Whether you picked up the guitar last week or you have been gigging for years, Fretify meets you where you are. LEARN THE FRETBOARD A fast, focused game that drills the neck in both directions. See a fret, name the note. Get a note, find every position. Pick your strings, your fret range, and your tuning, then build the muscle memory that makes everything else easier. Daily streaks keep you coming back. TRAIN FOR REAL Guitar Training and Ear Training take you past guessing. Play along, get instant feedback, and learn to recognize what you hear. This is practice that sticks. CHORDS, SCALES AND THEORY Look up any chord and hear the voicing. Use the Chord Finder to name the notes you pick anywhere on the neck. Explore scales and modes as patterns you can actually see. Build chord progressions and turn them into full songs. A TUNER THAT KEEPS UP Accurate, real-time pitch detection for 6, 7 and 8 string guitars. Standard, Drop D, Drop C, DADGAD, Open G, Open D, half and full step down, plus custom tunings. Your tuner and your games stay in sync with each guitar's setup. A METRONOME THAT GROWS WITH YOU Start with clean time, BPM and time signatures. Then reach for presets, a tempo trainer that speeds up as you play, subdivisions, and sampled drum kits when a click is not enough. YOUR GEAR, YOUR GIGS Track every guitar and every piece of the rig: tuning, setup, string age, service history and what each one cost. Fretify even nudges you when it is time for fresh strings, by days or by sessions, whichever comes first. Log the nights you play, however much of the rig came along. Add the fee, the merch, the fuel and the food, and see what a gig actually paid. Takings shows the month, the running total, where the money goes and which rooms are worth the drive. A map pins everywhere you have played. WHY GUITARISTS CHOOSE FRETIFY Built for every level, from first chord to full set Practice that feels like play, not homework Everything in one app, from the fretboard to the finances Clean, modern design that stays out of your way Free to start.
