Abstract:
An apparatus may be designed to enable a user to receive, record, display, edit, arrange, re-arrange, play, loop, extend, export and import audio and video data. The audio and video data to be organized as, for example, but not limited to, a song comprised of song parts. The song parts may be comprised of tracks, and each track may be comprised of one or more layers. The various methods and systems disclosed herein incorporate such data segmentation to enable the user to intuitively and hands-free record, arrange, and perform songs comprised of both sequential and parallel tracks. In this way, the looper may enable a musician to record and loop tracks for a song, arrange the tracks into song parts, and during the same session, transition the playback from one song part to another, all the while recording a track on top of the transitioning song parts.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n arranging audio data into the following structure:\n a song comprised of at least one song part, \n at least one track within the at least one song part, and \n at least one layer within the at least one track; \n enabling a playback of the arranged audio data; recording subsequent audio data during the playback of the arranged audio data, wherein recording the subsequent audio data comprises at least one of the following:\n recording the subsequent audio data in performance capture mode, and \n controlling the playback of the arranged audio data during the recording of the subsequent audio data in the performance capture mode, wherein controlling playback comprises at least one of the following:\n playing a selected song part, \n modifying a parameter of a selected track within the selected song part, \n modifying a parameter of a selected layer within the selected track, \n looping the selected song part, \n queuing a subsequent song part, \n transitioning from the selected song part to a queued subsequent song part, and \n looping the subsequent song part; and \n \n rendering a performance mode track, wherein rendering the performance mode track comprises at least one of the following:\n rendering the recorded subsequent audio data along with the controlled playback of the arranged audio data as the performance mode track, and \n rendering the recorded subsequent audio data as the performance mode track separately from the arranged audio data.
