About Aleph Looper
Aleph Looper is the iPhone version of Infinite Looper (which is universal). If you find the app useful, but need the space an iPad provides, you can upgrade to the full version using the specially priced bundle.

From the stage to the studio, Aleph Looper will let you capture musical ideas, create loops and backing tracks, or construct complete songs, all in a single integrated app. Loop MIDI phrases easily, control six different instruments, and quickly assemble loops into full songs. Visit the Secret Base Design web site for details and demonstration videos.
* MIDI Looping
There are dozens of audio looping apps; Aleph Looper expands on this idea, allowing you to quickly select different synthesizers, and loop the MIDI to each with perfect synchronization. Each of the instruments can have up to eight simultaneous loops. The loops can be of different lengths, up to sixtyfour measures long.
* Internal SoundFont Engine
Built into the app is an extensive SoundFont library with hundreds of instruments, and multiple drum kits. Pianos, strings, guitar, brass, synthesizers -- it's all there. Everything you need to get going right away.
* Inter-App Audio
Aleph Looper can host IAA-compatible synth apps -- take advantage of the wide range of innovative synths.
* MIDI In and Out
The app recognizes MIDI from other apps, over Bluetooth connections, and from hardware controllers. Secret Base Design is the developer of the innovative Apollo MIDI over Bluetooth -- the first Bluetooth MIDI solution for iOS. We're also partners in the musicIO app, which allows both audio and MIDI to be sent over an ordinary iOS sync cable. The app is built using the excellent MIDIbus library -- the Secret Base Design team has been at the forefront of MIDI on iOS for years.
* More that just loops. Songs.
Built into the app is a loop sequencer -- select different sets of loops for each section of a song, and the app will step through them automatically. You can build complex compositions, so that your songs evolve and breathe.
* MIDI Export
The iPad is an excellent music sketch pad, but it's not the end of the road. Aleph Looper will export a MIDI file for a song, which can be loaded into professional desktop DAWs. Use your iPad to put together a demo, and then bring in the full set of studio tools to finish your masterpiece.
* Keyboards and Pads
The app features a responsive piano-style keyboard -- adjust note velocity by touching towards the tops of the keys. And because on-screen keyboards can be hard to play, there's also ten pages of programmable pads. You can quickly assign notes or chords to pads, making it easy to capture the progression for a song idea, and bring the whole thing into focus.
* Quantization and MIDI Latency
To lock down timing, you can toggle on quantization -- or leave it off, for a loose, natural feeling. If you use external MIDI controllers, there can be latency in the MIDI messages -- the app can time shift slight to account for the delay of Bluetooth connections or WiFi. And if you use an audio-to-MIDI converter app like MIDImorphosis, latency compensation can tighten up the timing.
* All the standards
Aleph Looper supports Ableton Link, making it easy to synchronize the app with other Link-enabled apps. There's full support for Inter-App Audio and IAA MIDI, and Audiobus too.
* MIDI Learn
If you're playing live, your hands might be busy with a keyboard or a guitar. With MIDI learn, you can control the app with a foot controller. Toggle on and off recording, switch tracks, and more. Aleph Looper is ready to be taken on stage, and used live.
* Import and Export
Easily share projects with friends using AirDrop, Dropbox, or by email.

A new loop-record mode lets you play along, and capture each loop as a separate take. Pick the take that you like best, and insert it into your project with a single tap. Because the app records MIDI, you don't have to worry about running out of space; just let the loops run, focus on playing, and then go back and find the performance that captures the magic!
The loop import and export functions have been enhanced; you can import tracks easily from MIDI files, export a loop as a MIDI file, or export an entire project as multi-track MIDI. You can also import loops from other Infinite Looper projects quickly.
And because many people have been asking for a Twitter Step Sequencer.... you can now tweet loops out, or import loops that others have tweeted. Seriously. And ok, no one asked for this, but now that you know you can do this, you will, right? Of course you will.

2.0
Jan 5, 2017
Version 2.0 adds pitch-to-MIDI -- use a guitar or other instruments to trigger MIDI notes. You can also see the pitch of a note on the keyboard; hum, whistle, or sing, to see the notes that match your melody. With pitch-to-MIDI and the step insert mode on the piano roll, it's easy to get transcriptions of tricky guitar parts.
Import of MIDI from files, and from other Infinite Looper projects, is now supported. Open the piano roll for a loop, and then import MIDI directly. You can add MIDI files to the app using any of the standard iOS file sharing utilities. You can also export your loops as MIDI files, or export the entire project as a multi-track MIDI file, for final mastering with a desktop DAW.
The user interface has been refined; all the tools you need, but organized so that you can find them, and not be overwhelmed by buttons and sliders. Infinite Looper is easy to use, the ideal sketch pad for capturing and creating musical ideas.

Oct 16, 2016
Version 1.4 adds support for automation recording, quantization for triplets, and a step-insert mode.
* Record pitch bend and CC data with each loop, to control the audio effects of synthesizer apps. You can edit the control data graphically through the piano-roll interface.
* The pads can now be configured to send CC or Program Change messages, in addition to individual notes and chords. The functionality many users enjoy in our app Sidecar is now available in Infinite and Aleph Looper.
* Note quantization can be toggled to support triplets.
* The piano roll editor now supports a step-insert mode. Play notes on the internal keyboard or pads, through an external MIDI controller, or with a pitch-to-MIDI app such as MIDImorphosis; notes will be inserted one at a time, and quantized based on the current app settings. If you wish to a fast and tricky solo, it couldn't get easier -- just switch to step insert, and then play the notes slowly and carefully.
* There are a number of graphic and user interface improvements.

Aug 12, 2016
Version 1.3 adds full-featured piano roll editing.
Open the piano roll editor, and you can now easily modify notes by tapping and dragging on different locations. Grab the front of a note to move it, the middle to change velocity, or the end to change duration. You can select multiple notes by touching and dragging around them.
Duplicating selected notes can be done with the tap of a button; if you need more complex editing, open the editor dialog box, where you'll find tools to select notes, copy and delete different groups, quantize, transpose, and more. You can change the length of a loop, double the length and duplicate notes, or copy notes from one loop to another.
