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.

----
Aleph Looper uses the Ableton Link library, the Audiobus library, and the MIDIbus library.  Internal sounds are from the widely used SoundFont set by S. Christian Collins.
