Description:
Enable the ability to selectively mute, unmute, or delete individual MIDI notes and/or CC automation data within a specific clip in Loopy Pro. This would allow finer control over MIDI editing, particularly for freestyle composition and live arrangement workflows.
Problem:
  • Currently, users cannot isolate and remove specific elements within a MIDI clip (e.g. a single drum note or CC line).
  • For example, muting or deleting a hi-hat from a full drum pattern is not possible without recreating the clip entirely.
  • CC automation is treated as a monolithic layer, making it difficult to manage or isolate multiple modulation lanes within one clip.
Proposed Solution:
  • Add the ability to mute or delete individual MIDI notes or ranges within a clip.
  • Implement per-lane control for CC data, allowing mute, solo, or deletion of specific CC lines.
  • Integrate these functions via contextual actions, clip editors, or MIDI learn-style gestures.
Benefits:
  • Provides deeper MIDI clip editing capabilities without destructive workflows.
  • Enhances creative flexibility for on-the-fly arrangement and live composition.
  • Enables targeted modification of individual layers (e.g. hi-hats, snares, modulation curves) without affecting the entire clip.
Examples:
  • Mute just the hi-hat notes in a MIDI drum pattern during a breakdown section.
  • Delete only one CC1 (modulation) automation curve while preserving CC11 (expression).
  • Create variations of a groove by toggling muted MIDI notes live.

Original Post:
Muting notes and CCs will give deeper control on MIDI for freestyle/composing sessions.
Let's say I have a midi drum pattern and I want to remove one element of the groove by muting or deleting it, currently we can't do that. Or we can't delete just "hihat" sequence to record another one on the fly.
Same with CC lines, if we have multiple automations inside a clip, there no way to manage them.
