Introducing Sheeran Loopy

The Sheeran Looper built for iPhone and iPad.

Create and shape your performance with the world's most intuitive Looper

Based on the Looper X performance approach and re-engineered for iOS.

How it works

Record. Overdub. Play.

Sheeran Loopy keeps the core looping workflow immediate and visible. Capture your first loop, build additional layers in real time, then move between sections as the arrangement develops.

Loop states, timing and track activity remain clearly displayed throughout the performance.

01 Record

Capture guitar, vocals, percussion or any connected audio source directly into a loop track.

Smart Loop Assist helps establish a clean, accurate first loop by supporting timing and loop-length detection while keeping the recording process fast and intuitive.

02 Overdub

Add additional musical layers while the existing loop continues in playback.

Build harmony, rhythm and texture progressively, with each overdub becoming part of the active loop without interrupting the performance.

03 Play

Bring tracks in and out to shape the arrangement as you perform.

Build dynamics by introducing, removing and combining loop layers in real time, creating movement, contrast and evolving sections without interrupting the flow.

Whats inside

Creative control, always within reach.

Ready to play

Open it. Start playing.

Whether you’re making your first loop, developing a song or running a complete live setup, Sheeran Loopy is designed to get you into the music quickly. Clear controls, visible loop states and a performance-first interface keep the focus where it belongs.
Modes and timing

Five modes. Five ways to build.

Multi, Sync, Song, Band and Free modes change the way your loops interact with timing, structure and each other. Choose a tightly synchronised performance, build full song sections or let different loops move freely.

Tracks and mixing

Four tracks. Clear from the start.

Build with four stereo loop tracks, each with dedicated level, pan, mute and solo controls. Clear visual feedback lets you see exactly what every loop is doing, while Sheeran Loopy Plus expands the workspace with six- and eight-track performance layouts.

Loop shaping

Transform the loop while it plays.

Multiply, divide, transpose, peel, reverse, change speed and fade loops in real time. Experiment freely with undo and redo always available when the music takes you somewhere unexpected.
Effects and sessions

Capture the performance. Shape the sound.

Add reverb, delay, compression, drive, modulation and tone shaping directly within the looping workflow. Save the full project to keep developing it later, or capture the performance as a stereo session mix.

Choose your way in

Make the first loop feel natural.

First-time loopers

Make the first loop feel natural.

Smart Loop Assist, clear recording states, a built-in metronome and optional count-in help you establish accurate loops without turning the creative process into a technical exercise. Start playing. The app helps with the rest.

Capture the idea while it’s moving.

Songwriters

Capture the idea while it’s moving.

Layer vocals, guitar, rhythm and texture as the song develops. Build verse, chorus and other sections while the idea is fresh, then save the complete project or capture a stereo mix.

A complete looping setup that travels with you.

Buskers and performers

A complete looping setup that travels with you.

Start with four stereo tracks and a focused performance workflow on iPhone or iPad. Move to Sheeran Loopy Plus for expanded track layouts, MIDI foot control, multi-channel audio, external sync and dedicated click routing when the live setup grows.

Looper X users

Multi, Sync, Song, Band and Free modes bring the familiar Sheeran Looper performance approach to iPhone and iPad. Write, rehearse or perform with the same core ideas in a portable, touch-based format.

Different approaches to advanced looping.

Loopy Pro and power users

Different approaches to advanced looping.

Sheeran Loopy is built around the focused performance workflow developed for the Sheeran Looper system. Loopy Pro is a separate advanced app for musicians who want to create fully customised layouts, routing, actions and control systems from the ground up. Two different approaches, built for different ways of working.

Choose your way to loop

Multi

Keep everything locked together.

Eds signature workflow. Synchronise your loops to a global loop length and build tight, rhythmically connected arrangements. Ideal when timing and groove need to stay firmly in place.

Sync

Different lengths. One performance.

Run loops of different lengths alongside each other. Let a short rhythmic phrase sit underneath a longer guitar part, vocal line or texture.

Song

Build the arrangement as you play.

Create dedicated verse, chorus, bridge and other song sections, then move between them during the performance.

Band

Give every part a role.

Build the feel of a complete band one part at a time while keeping every element clearly organised.

Free

Leave the structure behind.

Create evolving textures, drones, swells and experimental layers without a fixed song structure. A space for loops to develop on their own terms.

This app is splendid!

@stevenwhite80

Clicked a few buttons in the app, played some chords, and boom - my track came to life!

@ChrisBrown92

I’ve tried dozens of mobile music apps, but this one strikes the perfect balance between professional power and ease of use. Arranging and blending audio loops feels like playing a game, yet the end result sounds like it came straight out of a studio. Absolute blast to create with!

@johnnydrummachine

Pro audio results wrapped in a beautifully fun, easy-to-use interface.

@ethan-thomas

As a session guitarist, I’m amazed at how fast I can build professional layers on my iPad. The interface is incredibly fun and intuitive—no clunky menus, just pure workflow. Within minutes of opening it, I had a complex, crisp-sounding backing track ready to go. Total game-changer.

@RoryCooperGuitar

Brilliant workflow. I can build up complex tracks, with quick samples in just a few taps :)

@andyg_

The most fun I've had making tracks in years. Highly recommended!

@EviePlays

Professional results without the steep learning curve. Absolute blast!

@TannerJohnston

Intuitive, powerful, and addictive. The best music maker on iPad OS.

@jaydon

Building studio-grade loops on my iPad has never been this fast or fun!
