Description:
Allow the ability to display user-defined images on buttons, one-shots, or other canvas elements. These images can serve functional or aesthetic purposes and adapt based on conditions (e.g. plugin parameters, volume level, etc.).
Problem:
Currently, Loopy Pro allows some custom visuals (like text on buttons), but there is no built-in way to use actual images or image changes to reflect states, structure, or provide visual guidance. This limits customization and performance feedback.
Proposed Solution:
– Enable importing custom images (JPG, PNG, SVG/vector) for use on:
– Buttons
– One-shot triggers
– Canvas elements
– Conditional image changes based on clip/color/group/plugin parameter values:
– Use a different image
– Make image greyscale (e.g. when inactive/off)
– Add options for:
– Image only
– Text label only
– Text label over image
– Allow for example volume-dependent visuals (e.g. different cat images based on loudness)
– Enable images to be shown instead of text in
page switcher buttons
(e.g. a cat image for a page of cat sounds)
– Support greyscale + overlay white tint when “OFF” for clarity
– Allow repositioning and scaling of image-based buttons
– Images should grey out when not in use (like text currently does)
– Add optional support for using images as chord references, song sections, reminders (e.g. as per guitar looping use cases)
– Ideal for live use: easy recognition and custom visual feedback
– Add toggle to
hide the page switcher bar
, so only image buttons on canvas are used instead
– Add importable image-based canvas elements with font-size adjustability
– Support simple image widgets that act as action triggers
– Add fallback to default appearance if image is not defined
Benefits:
– Great for customizing layouts for live use, teaching, or creative performance
– Adds huge flexibility to the UI – from playful (cat buttons) to educational (chord reminders)
– Provides powerful conditional visual feedback
– Enhances accessibility for those relying on visual structure
– Fun and inspiring visuals to personalize each project
– Great for visual cues across complex multi-page setups
– Keeps screen clean by replacing redundant buttons with visual cues
