Description:
Add a built-in MIDI arpeggiator and/or step sequencer to Loopy Pro that can be used to send MIDI notes to instruments or plugins, either internally or externally.
Problem:
Currently, users who want arpeggiator or step sequencing functionality need to rely on external AUv3 plugins or external devices. This adds complexity, latency, and limits integration with Loopy Pro's internal action system and widget-based workflows.
Proposed Solution:
– Provide an internal MIDI arpeggiator with configurable note order, octave range, rhythm, gate length, and sync to clock
– Add a step sequencer for MIDI notes with adjustable step count, note values, velocities, and per-step probability
– Allow full widget and action system integration for triggering, pattern switching, parameter control, and sequencing automation
– Optional AUv3-hosted UI or simplified grid editor for quick setup and live manipulation
Benefits:
✅ Seamless integration with Loopy Pro’s interface and action system
✅ No need for third-party AUv3s, resulting in lower CPU usage and tighter sync
✅ Enables creative live performance setups including melodic looping and generative MIDI
✅ Opens new possibilities for Loopy Pro as a comprehensive live instrument and controller hub
