Description
Introduce the ability to bypass individual AUv3 plugins within a signal chain in Loopy Pro. This feature would allow users to temporarily disable specific plugins without removing them, facilitating more flexible routing and performance setups.
Problem
Currently, Loopy Pro does not offer a straightforward method to bypass AUv3 plugins. Users who route external MIDI sources through a MIDI AU to an AU instrument lack the option to temporarily disable the MIDI AU, making it challenging to test or modify signal paths without fully removing and reconfiguring plugins.
Proposed Solution
  • Implement a bypass toggle for each AUv3 plugin in the signal chain.
  • Ensure that bypassed plugins do not process audio or MIDI data, effectively removing them from the signal path temporarily.
  • Provide visual indicators to show which plugins are active and which are bypassed.
Benefits
  • Enhances workflow efficiency by allowing quick toggling of plugin states.
  • Facilitates testing and comparison of different plugin configurations without the need for removal and re-insertion.
  • Improves live performance flexibility by enabling dynamic control over plugin activation.
Examples
  • A user can bypass a MIDI effect plugin to compare the instrument's response with and without the effect, aiding in sound design decisions.
  • During a live set, a performer can quickly disable certain effects to adapt to different sections of a performance without disrupting the signal flow.

My route is from external MIDI as source to MIDI AU to AU instrument. There is no option now how to temporarily disable MIDI AU and go straight from source to AU instrument.
