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.
