Description:
Add an optional visual effect to clips in Loopy Pro that triggers once they have been played (e.g., border glow, color overlay, fade), helping users track which clips have been triggered in a session.
Problem:
  • During live looping sessions, it’s easy to lose track of which clips have already been triggered, especially in complex or dense arrangements.
  • Current UI doesn’t provide persistent feedback after clip playback ends, causing potential confusion and missed entries.
  • Users must mentally remember or rely on clip positions alone, increasing cognitive load and the risk of performance errors.
Proposed Solution:
  • Offer a toggleable visual effect for played clips (e.g., temporary glow, color fade, checkmark overlay).
  • Allow configuration of duration and style—immediate fade, persistent markers, pulse animations, etc.
  • Effects should not interfere with performance or obscure clip content; subtle and configurable is key.
Benefits:
  • Instantly shows which clips have been used during a session.
  • Enhances situational awareness and performance flow.
  • Reduces the chance of unintentional re-triggering or omission of clips.
Examples:
  • After triggering a loop, its thumbnail briefly pulses or glows to indicate activity.
  • Played clips retain a faded overlay until reset or until a new session begins.
  • User can set a checkmark badge on clips that have been triggered at least once.

Original Post:
Add a "Played/Unplayed" status to clips (loops and one-shots), and a toggle in clip settings which enables automatically setting their status to Played after they have stopped playing.
If a clip's status is played, it will be visually altered - either dulled, so it is darker than unplayed clips, or its outer border can be dotted instead of solid.
Also, add an Action to change clips' (individual clips, colour groups, global clips) Played/Unplayed status by trigger, so you can make a button that resets all clips' status to Unplayed, or use a gesture to reset a specific clip's status, etc.
