Description
This feature request proposes the implementation of a comprehensive undo/redo system within Loopy Pro, encompassing all user actions, including clip recordings, parameter adjustments, and widget manipulations. The goal is to enhance user workflow by allowing seamless reversal and reinstatement of actions, thereby facilitating experimentation and error correction.
Problems
  • Limited Undo/Redo Scope
    : Currently, Loopy Pro's undo/redo functionality is primarily focused on overdub layers within clips, lacking a global system that covers all user actions.
  • Workflow Disruption
    : The absence of a comprehensive undo/redo system hinders users from efficiently correcting mistakes or reverting changes, disrupting the creative flow.
  • Increased Error Risk
    : Without the ability to undo or redo actions beyond overdubs, users are at a higher risk of making irreversible changes, leading to potential project inconsistencies.
Proposed Solution
  • Global Undo/Redo Implementation
    : Develop a system-wide undo/redo mechanism that tracks all user actions, including but not limited to:
- Clip recordings and deletions
- Parameter changes (e.g., volume, pitch, effects)
- Widget additions, deletions, and modifications
- MIDI mappings and control assignments
  • Action History Panel
    : Introduce an interface element displaying a chronological list of actions, allowing users to navigate through their action history and select specific points to revert to or redo.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts and MIDI Integration
    : Enable undo/redo functionality through customizable keyboard shortcuts and MIDI controller mappings for efficient access during live performances.
  • Selective Undo/Redo
    : Allow users to selectively undo or redo specific actions without affecting subsequent unrelated changes, providing granular control over the editing process.
Benefits
  • Enhanced Creative Flexibility
    : Empowers users to experiment freely, knowing that any action can be reversed or reinstated as needed.
  • Improved Workflow Efficiency
    : Streamlines the editing process by reducing the time and effort required to correct mistakes or test different configurations.
  • Increased User Confidence
    : Minimizes the fear of making irreversible changes, encouraging users to explore new ideas and techniques within their projects.
