Implement Scene Manager for Recording and Recalling Widget States
under review
Sylvain Guieu
Description
This feature request proposes the implementation of a "Scene Manager" within Loopy Pro, enabling users to record and recall the states of various interface elements such as widgets, faders, and presets. The Scene Manager would function as a centralized system to capture the current configuration of controls, facilitating seamless transitions between different setups during live performances or production sessions.
Problems
- Manual Reconfiguration: Currently, users must manually adjust each control to switch between different setups, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
- Lack of State Recall: There is no native functionality to save and recall the collective state of multiple controls, limiting efficiency in dynamic environments.
- Inconsistent Transitions: Without a unified system, transitioning between different control configurations can lead to inconsistencies and disrupt the creative flow.
Proposed Solution
- Scene Recording: Introduce the ability to capture the current state of all associated controls within a Scene Manager, effectively creating a "scene."
- Scene Recall: Allow users to load previously recorded scenes, restoring all controls to their saved states instantly.
- Action Integration: Implement actions such as "save new scene," "erase current scene," "load next scene," "load previous scene," and "load specific scene," enabling both manual and automated scene management.
- Dedicated Widget: Provide a native widget for the Scene Manager, offering an intuitive interface for scene selection and management.
Examples
- Live Performance: A musician switches between different instrument setups by loading corresponding scenes, each with specific effect settings and control positions.
- Studio Production: A producer recalls a scene with a particular mix configuration to compare different versions of a track efficiently.
- Educational Use: An instructor demonstrates various sound design techniques by loading scenes that showcase different parameter settings.
Benefits
- Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Streamlines the process of switching between different control configurations, saving time and reducing manual effort.
- Improved Consistency: Ensures that all controls are set accurately when transitioning between scenes, maintaining the integrity of the setup.
- Increased Flexibility: Facilitates experimentation by allowing users to save and recall multiple configurations, encouraging creative exploration.
