Description
This feature request proposes the implementation of pattern variations within a single MIDI clip in Loopy Pro, similar to the functionality found in Atom AUv3. The goal is to allow users to create multiple patterns within a single clip, enabling more efficient arrangement of song sections without overcrowding the canvas with numerous individual clips.
Proposed Solution
- Pattern Integration: Introduce the ability to store multiple patterns within a single MIDI clip, allowing users to define variations such as intros, build-ups, and fills within the same clip context.
- Pattern Selection Mechanism: Implement a control mechanism, such as a dial or action, to switch between patterns within a clip during playback or performance.
- Automation and MIDI Control: Allow pattern changes to be automated or controlled via MIDI, facilitating dynamic transitions during live performances.
- Visual Differentiation: Provide clear visual indicators to distinguish between different patterns within a clip, enhancing usability and navigation.
Problem
- Canvas Overcrowding: Currently, creating variations for different song sections requires multiple separate clips, leading to a cluttered workspace and limited canvas space.
- Inefficient Workflow: Managing numerous clips for variations complicates the arrangement process and can hinder creativity and performance flow.
- Limited Flexibility: The inability to consolidate patterns within a single clip restricts users from efficiently organizing complex song structures.
Benefits
- Streamlined Workflow: Consolidating patterns within a single clip reduces canvas clutter, allowing for a more organized and efficient workspace.
- Enhanced Performance Control: Dynamic pattern switching within a clip enables more expressive and flexible live performances.
- Improved Song Arrangement: Facilitates the creation of complex song structures with fewer clips, simplifying the arrangement process and enhancing creative possibilities.
