Description:
Add a high-quality transient shaper effect with lookahead capabilities, ideally inspired by processors like the elysia nvelope 500. Also introduce a transient/audio quantizer to align transients rhythmically—similar to beat detection or warp functionality in DAWs.
Problem:
Loopy Pro currently lacks tools for precise control over transients and rhythmic tightening. Live loops and samples often need refinement, particularly to emphasize or soften attacks or to quantize transients for tighter timing. External apps are required for this, breaking the in-app workflow.
Proposed Solution:
– Build a native transient shaper with:
• Separate attack and sustain shaping
• Adjustable sensitivity and frequency range
• Optional sidechain input
• Lookahead control for clean transient processing
– Add a transient quantizer that:
• Detects transients in a loop or clip
• Allows realignment of transients to grid (quantize)
• Supports per-loop or per-overdub-layer operation
– Provide automation and MIDI control for both modules
– Enable these effects to work non-destructively within Loopy Pro’s clip engine
Benefits:
✅ Enhances control over loop articulation and punch
✅ Enables tight, quantized performances from loosely recorded clips
✅ Eliminates need to warp/edit in external DAWs or apps
✅ Perfect for electronic and acoustic loopers alike
✅ Brings high-end studio sound design tools into the live looping workflow
✅ Lookahead ensures cleaner shaping with fewer artifacts
