Feature Requests

Description: Allow users to rename audio busses and optionally add visible notes or hints describing their function or purpose. Problem: Currently, busses in Loopy Pro are automatically named with letters (A, B, C...) upon creation, and users are unable to rename them. This makes it difficult to organize and recall bus functions, especially in complex projects with many busses. The default visual representation is also hard to distinguish from color groups, making the UI harder to parse quickly. Proposed Solution: – Allow users to rename busses at any time – Display the name prominently (e.g. at the top of the bus or next to the letter) – Optional: restore default letter-based name (e.g., "A") if custom label is deleted – Add support for a “hint” or “notes” field for each bus (shown e.g. on hover or toggle) – Consider visual improvements to further differentiate busses from color groups – Optional: provide a UI dialog showing an overview of a bus’s routing and settings, including name, balance, etc. Benefits: – Greatly improves clarity in complex routing setups – Reduces need for external “cheat sheets” – Helps identify and manage up to 24+ busses more efficiently – Enhances UI and UX, especially for live performance or sound design – Makes Loopy Pro more scalable and user-friendly for professional workflows This summary was automatically generated by ChatGPT-4 on April 30, 2025.

Description: Enable saving and recalling entire channel strips (including all plugins and optionally widgets) as presets. This allows fast loading of complex FX/instrument chains across different projects. Problem: Rebuilding plugin chains and settings for each project or channel type (input, color, bus, master) is time-consuming, especially in live setups or when consistent tone is needed across songs. Proposed Solution: – Add a feature to save a full channel (strip) as a reusable preset – Optionally include bound widgets and layout elements – Allow importing/exporting channel strip presets – Add "recall channel preset" and "save channel preset" actions – Allow presets for: – input channels – color channels – bus channels – master channel – Optional: grey out unloaded channels to free up RAM/CPU – Optional: preload (but inactive) channel strips for fast switching – Optional: include full widget configuration (position, behavior, etc.) – Add tags or labels to organize channel strip types (e.g. “Guitar FX”, “Vocal Bus”) Benefits: – Save time during project setup – Allows modular, reusable channel configurations – Supports consistent tone in live and studio workflows – Ideal for musicians switching instruments/effects between songs – Reduces CPU/memory load by offloading unused channels – Encourages structured and repeatable setups This summary was automatically generated by ChatGPT-4 on April 30, 2025.

Trying to use bram Bos Scatterbrain with its 4 ouputs in Loopy Pro but it seems that is not yet possible? Would be my main feature request to be able the route multiple outs from an fx to multiple inputs for seperate processing.

Option 1: Have a direct link to 'set lists' in the main menu Option 2 (Better): Have a separate button under the current main menu folder icon just for setlist Option 3: A floating 'set list' menu button (that you can turn on and off in preferences) that you can position anywhere on the screen, so left or right handed people have options.

Description This feature request proposes the implementation of flexible groove quantization options for MIDI recording in Loopy Pro. The goal is to provide users with advanced tools to adjust the timing and feel of MIDI recordings, enhancing musical expression and aligning with various rhythmic styles. Problems Rigid Quantization : Currently, Loopy Pro offers basic quantization settings that may not accommodate the nuanced timing required for different musical genres or personal playing styles. Limited Groove Customization : Users lack the ability to apply swing, shuffle, or custom groove templates to MIDI recordings, restricting creative possibilities. Inconsistent Timing Feel : Without flexible groove quantization, achieving a humanized or genre-specific rhythmic feel requires manual adjustments, which can be time-consuming and imprecise. Proposed Solution Advanced Quantization Options : Introduce a range of quantization settings, including swing percentages, shuffle rhythms, and customizable groove templates. Real-Time Groove Application : Allow users to apply and adjust groove settings in real-time during MIDI recording and playback. Groove Template Library : Provide a library of preset groove templates representing various musical styles (e.g., funk, jazz, hip-hop) and allow users to create and save custom templates. Visual Feedback : Implement visual indicators within the MIDI editor to display the applied groove adjustments, aiding in precise editing and alignment. Benefits Enhanced Musical Expression : Flexible groove quantization enables users to infuse their MIDI recordings with desired rhythmic feels, enhancing the musicality of their productions. Streamlined Workflow : Real-time groove application and visual feedback simplify the process of achieving the intended timing, reducing the need for manual corrections. Creative Versatility : A comprehensive set of groove options allows users to experiment with different rhythmic styles, fostering creativity and innovation in their music.

Description This feature request proposes enhancing Loopy Pro's audio routing capabilities by allowing buses to be assigned as destinations and enabling buses to send their output to multiple destinations, including other buses. This would facilitate more complex and flexible routing configurations, such as creating monitoring buses with effects like reverb or delay that are applied across multiple channels. Proposed Solution Bus as Destination : Enable buses to be selected as destinations for audio sources, similar to how colors or outputs are currently assigned. Multiple Destinations for Buses : Allow a single bus to route its output to multiple destinations, including other buses, colors, or outputs. Dynamic Routing : Implement actions or controls that allow users to dynamically change bus destinations during live performances or within a project setup. Monitoring Enhancements : Provide options to monitor through buses, enabling users to hear the combined effects applied to multiple channels in real-time. Problem Limited Routing Flexibility : Currently, buses in Loopy Pro can only send their output to the main output, restricting the ability to create complex routing scenarios. Monitoring Challenges : Users cannot monitor the combined effects of multiple channels through a single bus, making it difficult to set up cohesive monitoring environments. Workflow Limitations : The inability to route buses to other destinations limits creative possibilities and complicates setups that require shared effects processing or parallel routing paths. Benefits Enhanced Creative Control : Users can design intricate audio processing chains, such as parallel effects or subgroup processing, improving the overall sound design capabilities. Improved Monitoring : Facilitates the creation of dedicated monitoring buses with specific effects, aiding performers in hearing exactly what they need during live sessions. Streamlined Workflow : Reduces the need for workarounds or external routing solutions, allowing for a more integrated and efficient project setup within Loopy Pro.

Description: Allow users to group multiple AUv3 plugins into a reusable "plugin group" that behaves like a single plugin container. This makes management easier and introduces powerful features at group level. Problem: Managing multiple plugins on a channel becomes complex. There is no way to treat a combination of AUv3s as a single, unified module. Also, many plugins lack a wet/dry mix and other basic options. Proposed Solution: – Treat plugin groups as if they were individual plugins – Groups show up in plugin lists (add to project, add via action, etc.) – Allow instantiating multiple plugin groups – Allow actions to apply to the group as a whole (e.g. enable/disable) – Provide group-level settings: • Group name (user-defined or internal) • Wet/dry mix control for the group • Reorder plugins in the group • Actions to enable/disable the group – Display group with visual indicators (e.g. folder-style icon, color tag, red/green circle for status) – Allow edit mode and save as preset or duplicate – Restrict to only unused plugin instances (avoid duplicate references) Stretch Goals: – Group presets for wet/dry mix and plugin order – Icon sets to help users identify groups – Choose from visual folder/container symbols – Future option to include plugin parameter presets per plugin inside the group Benefits: – Modular plugin workflow – Reusable effect chains – Add missing features like wet/dry to plugins that lack them – Better project organization – Faster setup and management – Enables actions and visual feedback at group level This summary was automatically generated by ChatGPT-4 on April 30, 2025.

Description: Improve control settings and preset management by adding undo/redo, search, filter, and advanced sorting options for MIDI bindings, actions, OSC directions, and plugin presets. Problem: Currently, managing large sets of mappings and actions is tedious and prone to error. Deleting entries in bulk is not possible. Labels can remain even after deletion due to bugs. There's also no way to recover deleted entries or track changes without undo/redo functionality. Proposed Solution: – Add Undo/Redo buttons scoped per section (e.g., MIDI bindings, actions, OSC, plugin presets) – Make list entries deletable via swipe (e.g., after accidental import) – Fix bug where labels don’t disappear after full deletion – Add search with auto-focus – Enable filtering – Support drag & drop sorting by: • Global profiles • Project settings • MIDI bindings • Actions • OSC directions • Plugin presets • Control Settings categories – All list items should support: • Reorder • Move between categories • Copy to category • Delete • Copy/paste • Move to another profile • Move up/down • One-click top/bottom move Benefits: ✅ Massively improved efficiency when editing bindings or presets ✅ Prevents accidental loss of work ✅ Much better clarity and control over large setups ✅ Brings consistency to all control-setting areas ✅ Saves time by avoiding full rebuilds of profiles This summary was automatically generated by ChatGPT-4 on April 30, 2025.

Description: Allow users to assign custom names to individual AUv3 effect instances within Loopy Pro, enhancing clarity and organization in complex projects. Problem: Currently, AUv3 effect instances in Loopy Pro are labeled with their default names, which can lead to confusion when multiple instances of the same effect are used. This lack of distinction makes it challenging to identify and manage specific effects, especially in intricate setups. Proposed Solution: – Enable renaming of each AUv3 effect instance directly within the Loopy Pro interface. – Display the custom names prominently in the mixer and effect lists. – Ensure that these custom names are saved with the project and persist across sessions. – When the custom label is deleted, the instance should automatically revert to showing the default AUv3 name. – Optionally, allow for color-coding or tagging of renamed instances for additional visual organization. Benefits: – Improves workflow efficiency by making effect instances easily identifiable. – Enhances project organization, particularly in complex or collaborative environments. – Reduces the likelihood of errors caused by misidentifying effects. – Aligns with standard practices in other DAWs, providing a familiar experience for users.
