This has become one of my most favorite plugins thus far, and has really become a huge tool in my flow. Others may use it differently but here's my process: mess around on the ipad with Blocs Wave finding some bits / scenes that I really think would go well together and save, then export the project into Ableton. Load this project up and it's already ready for Loop Flip; add Loop Flip on the 9th track and then just start generating. I've found creating patterns, then copying and moving them around until you've got a few that flow well together, and then slowly add more on top to be the quickest way to audio sexiness. MY ONLY SUGGESTION: I would LOVE to have memory buttons -- come on give me 8 little cirlces along the bottom -- and cmd/ctrl-click a circle and it remembers the current pattern. Let me fill these up and trigger by clicking / midi, and now you've got a groove machine. I'd love to see something like this with midi as well.

While the setup can be a bit of a pain, Loop Flip is well worth it. It's am incredible tool if you're ever feeling stuck and need something to get the inspiration flowing.

I didn't use loops, but I've got 50,000 of them. Now I'm starting to use them again. This tool is awesome, I got a unique "unheard" in history result in five minutes...
Loop Flip by XY Studio Tools
Loop Flip is a Max for Live device designed for loop manipulation in Ableton Live’s arrangement view. It allows you to load up to 64 loops in the Session View, and then randomise various parameters to generate new, unique grooves directly on the Arrangement View’s timeline.
You can use audio as well as midi loops of any length. The device randomly selects clips, alters start markers, and employs rhythmic algorithms. The result is a blend of your original loops into new musical patterns.
HOW LOOP FLIP WORKS
When adding the Loop Flip Device to a Live set, it recognises any loops that are in the top 8 clip slots in the session view, for up to 8 tracks. Loop Flip will add the first 8 (or less) tracks that contain any clips in the top most 8 clip slots.
The device allows you to generate new grooves from a pool of loops by randomly selecting segments of the loops and arranging them into rhythmic patterns in the Arrangement View. This offers a quick workflow for discovering ideas that seamlessly integrate with Live’s environment, including the use of effects and further editing.
Additional Features
- Rhythm Modifications
- Rotate the rhythm
- Add swing to the actual placement of the loops
- Halftime setting for changing how the pattern relates to the global tempo
- Supports Audio and Midi loops
Basic Workflow
- Preparing loops
When adding the Loop Flip Device to a Live set, it recognises any loops that are in the top 8 clip slots in the session view, for up to 8 tracks. Loop Flip will add the first 8 (or less) tracks that contain any clips in the top most 8 clip slots.
- Generating grooves
To generate a new groove, set the loop start in Live’s arrangement view to where you want the groove to be created and click “Generate”. This will generate a randomly created groove, based on a selection of your included loops. If you have many loops, not all will be used each time you generate a groove, instead a random selection of loops, starting points and rhythmic pattern will be used.
- Settings
Before or after you generate a new groove, you can change settings for the groove.
The settings include length of the pattern, pattern resolution, pages of the pattern (repeats), swing and more.

Important Information
V1.0.0 – Initial Release – September 2023
Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
