In this article, I will tell you which plugins I use in Loopy Pro and which ones I recommend for acoustic guitarists.

Reverb

• Eos 2 – a high-quality but simple reverb that creates a moderate sense of space.

• TB Reverb – another reverb, but this one is as powerful as possible. It has built-in shimmer and different algorithms, plus a graphic EQ. Very practical. I use it as my main reverb.

• FabFilter Pro-R 2 – sounds incredibly natural, but puts a noticeable load on the CPU.📱 iPad-only.

• Walls – minimalist design, easy to use, and excellent reverb algorithms. You can dial in a very wide range of sounds quickly and effortlessly. Here’s my demo: New reverb demo – Walls by Klevgard

• Analog Rack Reverb – a simple reverb.

• Phonolyth Cascade – another excellent reverb.

Delay

• K7D – an analog delay with many settings and features. Experimental and fun to tweak, but it’s easy to slide into chaos with it.

• Bleass Delay – a classic delay with frequency cut and ping-pong features.

• Analog Delay free – a free and simple delay.

• Chow Matrix – free, with some very interesting modes. Be careful with the “wind” setting!

• Other Desert Cities – this one is pure space. Don’t be scared by terms like LFO and envelope — start with the presets.
  Also, don’t forget to lock the Mix knob below 50% so you don’t overdo it (there’s a lock icon next to it).📱 iPad-only.

Pan

• Wider – free

• Zen AutoPan

• True Pan

• Panflow

Extra

• Koala FX – a powerful DJ-style tool with several effects including filters, compressor, delay, and reverb. Great for working with already recorded loops.

• ToneStack PRO – an all-in-one processor for electric guitar. I haven’t figured out how to use it well with acoustics yet, but it’s very convenient for electrics.

• Eventide QVOX – an octaver effect that can generate up to four octaves at once. I use the Boss OC-3 for emulation.

• RRS Bass Enhancer – tightens the bass. I use it together with the octaver.

• Bleass Granulizer – a granulator for creating spatial textures — very experimental!

• Tapescam – a great plugin with very distinctive saturation and tape character.
  Here’s my demo: LINK

• UA Silo – a granular processor and reverb. Very extreme settings are possible, so use with caution.

• Velvet Machine – a plugin that basically stretches sound. Simple concept, but it sounds really cool and interesting in a chain with other effects, especially in ambient music.

• Standard built-in plugins – feel free to use Loopy Pro’s built-in plugins creatively. For example, you can use the equalizer in interesting ways or place a stock compressor on the output channel.

Free plugins

• Roughrider3 – a great free compressor.

• CHOW TapeModel free – a free tape recorder emulator.

• J_NO Chorus free – a chorus effect.

• Magic Switch free – for special modulation effects.

• Magic Dice free – for creating random sound effects and experimentation.

• Wider touch free – a free plugin for stereo widening.

• Baby Audio BA-1 – a compact multi-FX plugin with high-quality sound and simple controls.

• BYOD – a modular effects rack where you can build your own processing chains. Very flexible routing and a clean interface.
  It’s stable if you use a single instance in a project, but adding multiple instances can sometimes cause crashes.
  A workaround: change the project Buffer Size in Loopy Pro (System Settings), then reload the plugin in the mixer.

• There is also a video showing various free tools and effects. I haven’t tried most of them, so you use them at your own responsibility.

Drums

• OneShot – a drum sampler.📱 iPad-only.

• Digistix2

Grooveboxes

• Hammerhead Rhythm Station – a simple drum machine.

• UA Battalion – a standalone instrument, somewhat comparable to the Elektron Digitakt.📱 iPad-only.

• tahti – a standalone instrument and, in many ways, also similar to the Elektron Digitakt.
  The app is currently in beta and not yet available on the App Store. However, you can join the testing via TestFlight using this link:

Instruments

If you want to add new instruments to your music (for example you can press keys on the screen or connect a MIDI keyboard), the following plugins can be useful:

• GrandPiano free – a free piano instrument.

• Groovebox free – a free set of drums and synths.

• Xynthesizr – an awesome and unusual grid-based synthesizer. Works both as a standalone app and together with Loopy Pro.
  I have several videos featuring it on my channel (link 1, link 2), as well as a couple of tutorials on Patreon (How to xynth (part 1), How to xynth (part 2)).

• Bleass Monolit – a free synthesizer. Perfect for getting started with the world of synthesis.

Useful plugins if you're trying to sync your MIDI controller with Loopy Pro — it keeps track of all incoming and outgoing MIDI commands:

• Show MIDI

• MIDI Wrench free
