Description:
Add a true
dual-screen workflow
where the iPad shows a
Control Canvas
(editing, buttons, faders) while an external monitor shows an
Independent Stage Display
(clips, big meters, lyrics/teleprompter, flashing BPM, scene cues). Support
Mirror
or
Extended
modes, per-screen pages/layouts, and one-tap actions to send widgets/pages to the external screen.
Problem:
With an external monitor attached, performers typically get mirroring or a single shared UI. This limits stage use (audience/camera view, MD screen, confidence monitor) and forces page switching during shows. Users need
separate, purpose-built layouts
on each screen—without rebuilding projects or compromising touch control on the iPad.
Proposed Solution:
  • Screen Modes
-
Mirror
(current behavior) or
Extended
(
Control Canvas
on iPad,
Stage Display
on external).
- Per-project
default mode
; quick toggle in the title bar.
  • Per-Screen Pages & Layouts
- Assign any
Page
to
Screen A (iPad)
or
Screen B (External)
; optional
Follow Page
rules (e.g., external follows the selected group/scene).
-
Screen-Only Widgets
(e.g., fullscreen clip grid, lyrics/ChordPro, flashing BPM, big clocks/meters) that don’t appear on the iPad.
-
PiP
support to embed a region of one page into the other screen.
  • Placement & Styling
- Resolution-aware layout with
Fit/Cover/Pixel-perfect
scaling,
safe margins/overscan
controls, and
min text size
guards.
-
Brightness cap / Night mode
, theme overrides, and “high-contrast stage” preset.
  • Interaction & Safety
- iPad remains the
sole touch surface
; optional
pointer control
for external focus switching.
-
Performance-Safe
mode (frame-rate throttle, reduced animations) for the external output.
-
Privacy filter
prevents edit overlays or dialogs from appearing on the stage screen.
  • Routing & Sync
- Transport/tempo/scene are shared; screen-specific quantize for visual cues (downbeat flash, lyric advance).
- Optional
Program/Preview
pair: preview next page/scene on external,
Swap
on cue.
  • Actions & Variables
- Actions:
Set Screen Mode (Mirror/Extended)
,
Show Page on Screen (A/B)
,
Send Widget to Screen B (Fullscreen/Panel)
,
Swap Screens
,
Toggle Stage Display Preset
,
Set External Brightness/Theme
.
- Vars:
screen.mode
,
screen.external.resolution
,
screen.external.fps
,
screen.external.isSafeMode
,
page.screen
.
  • Presets & Export
- Save
Stage Display presets
(e.g., “Clips+Meters”, “Lyrics+Timer”); recall per setlist item.
- External screen respects
Genmoji
, pictograms, and large-type fonts.
Benefits:
  • Run
    two optimized UIs at once
    : hands-on control on iPad, clear stage/audience view externally.
  • Fewer page switches and safer shows with persistent meters/lyrics/cues.
  • Camera- and FOH-friendly output (contrast, margins, brightness).
  • Reusable presets speed setup across projects and venues.
Examples:
  • iPad shows your
    Control Canvas
    ; the HDMI screen shows
    Lyrics + Big BPM + Scene Countdown
    with high contrast.
  • A
    Program/Preview
    layout on the external display previews the next scene; tap
    Swap
    at the bar boundary.
  • Send a
    Fullscreen Clip Grid
    to Screen B while keeping detailed faders/FX on iPad; PiP a small Master meter back onto the iPad.
  • For theatre, recall the
    “Confidence Monitor”
    preset (clock, next cue, current bar:beat, transport state) on the external screen.

Loopy Pro working with two screens at the same time (Ipad and external screen)
If i have my ipad conected via hdmi to second display, create and option so when I open an app AUv3 within Loopy Pro, I can view it on that second display while the Loopy Pro homepage remains active and visible in the screen option. This way i can have windows open on secondary/external screens as other apps have as VS Visual Synthesizer
This way, I can use both options and screens at the same time. This is VERY usefull for working with Loopy pro.
