Loops Remote turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless controller for the XME LOOPS app. Run your loops from the stage while your main device stays at the keyboard, in the sound booth, or plugged into the house system. PAIR IN SECONDS Open XME LOOPS on your main device, tap the Remote button, and enter the 4-digit code on Loops Remote. That's it; no account, no setup. Everything runs over your local network, so it works anywhere: church, rehearsal room, or venues with no internet at all. FULL CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE ON STAGE • Browse your complete loop library and playlists, synced live from your main device • Start and stop loops instantly • Switch between bars 1–4 on the fly • Change key and transpose in real time • Tap tempo or dial in an exact BPM • Mix loop and pad volumes independently • Jump between songs with previous / next • Add loops to playlists right from the remote BUILT FOR LIVE MOMENTS The remote mirrors what's playing, so you always know where you are in the set. Praise breaks, shout music, altar moments; trigger the right loop at the right time without leaving your instrument. SHARE WITH YOUR TEAM Connect more than one remote at once. Give your music director full control while everyone else follows along in view-only mode; you decide which devices can drive playback with a simple "Allow Control" switch in the Loops app. Loops Remote is a free companion app. It requires the XME LOOPS app running on another iPhone, iPad, or Mac on the same network. An active subscription in XME LOOPS is required for loop playback.
