"On Select" Follow Action for Clips
in progress
ultracello
Description
This feature request proposes the implementation of an "On Select" follow action within Loopy Pro. The goal is to enable users to trigger specific actions automatically when a clip is selected, without initiating playback or recording. This functionality would enhance workflow efficiency, particularly in live performance settings where rapid and precise control over clip-associated actions is essential.
Problems
- Limited Pre-Recording Configuration: Currently, actions such as changing effect presets or sending MIDI messages can only be triggered during playback or recording. This limitation hinders the ability to prepare a clip's settings in advance.
- Workflow Inefficiency: The necessity to initiate playback or recording to trigger certain actions adds extra steps, disrupting the creative flow and potentially causing delays during live performances.
- Inflexibility in Clip Management: The absence of an "On Select" trigger restricts users from customizing clip behavior upon selection, limiting the dynamic control over clip-associated parameters.
Proposed Solution
- "On Select" Follow Action: Introduce a new follow action type that activates when a clip is selected, allowing users to assign specific actions such as changing effect presets, sending MIDI messages, or adjusting parameters.
- Integration with Existing Systems: Ensure compatibility with Loopy Pro's current action and follow action frameworks, providing a seamless user experience.
- User Interface Enhancements: Update the clip settings interface to include configuration options for the "On Select" follow action, maintaining consistency with existing follow action setups.
Benefits
- Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Automating actions upon clip selection streamlines the preparation process, reducing the number of manual steps required during live performances.
- Improved Flexibility: Users gain greater control over clip behavior, enabling more dynamic and responsive performance setups.
- Seamless Integration: Incorporating the "On Select" follow action into the existing framework ensures a consistent and intuitive user experience.

Michael Tyson is 2.0 the reason why there seems to be a ‘big’ gap in frequency of releases…? Is there any (other) announcement made on an upcoming 2.0 release…?
Michael Tyson
MaikR Yep! No, no announcements, but I’m working my butt off

I just can agree. The butt (of Loopy Pro 2.0) will be big (improvement). 🍑

Follow action for 'Select Clip'

This would allow e.g. selecting FX presets whenever a clip is selected, rather than on Initial recording.
Right now if I want to play a few notes before I begin to record the selected clip, and require a different FX chain, this requires an extra action, which I find difficult to automate.

This would be great for using empty loops to control external sequencing with follow actions. Currently have to use the “play” follow action and sequence early on the time line / double tap for manual activation

This would be great for changing sound presets prior to recording! If you have such actions on ”record,” there will be some lag you don’t want…

Loopy Pro should always send some midi messages to a specific controller when I select a specific clip.
