Description:
Allow a sequencer clip to define multiple loop regions (multiple loop points) and switch between them. This enables workflows like verse/chorus patterns, A/B/C sections, fills, and structured arrangements within a single sequencer clip without duplicating clips.
Problem:
With only one loop region per sequencer clip, users must duplicate clips or create multiple separate clips to represent different sections (Verse/Chorus/Fill). That leads to:
  • More clutter in the clip grid.
  • More triggers and more controller mappings to manage.
  • Higher performance risk (triggering the wrong clip).
  • Harder iteration when multiple sections should remain part of one coherent “song pattern” object.
A multi-loop-region model would make the sequencer far more expressive and arrangement-friendly.
Proposed Solution:
1) Multiple loop regions per sequencer clip
  • Allow defining Loop Regions A/B/C… (each with start/end points).
  • Display them in the sequencer UI as labeled regions.
2) Switching mechanisms
  • Manual selection in the sequencer editor: choose active loop region.
  • Actions:
- Set Loop Region (A/B/C or by index)
- Next/Previous Loop Region
  • Follow Actions support:
- Switch loop region at loop end, after N loops, or on cue.
3) Musical timing safety
  • Optional quantized switching:
- switch on next bar/beat
- switch only at region end
  • Optional “queue next region” behavior:
- choose next region now, but change only when safe.
4) Optional advanced behaviors
  • “Fill” regions that play once then return to the previous region automatically.
  • Random region selection within a defined set (for generative sequencing).
Benefits:
  • Cleaner projects: fewer duplicated sequencer clips for sections.
  • Faster arrangement building inside one clip (verse/chorus/fill as regions).
  • More reliable live control: one clip can cover multiple sections with predictable switching.
  • Enables generative and performance sequencing (queued fills, random region selection).
Examples:
  • Verse/Chorus:
- Region A = Verse pattern, Region B = Chorus pattern.
- Action switches regions quantized at the bar boundary.
  • Fills:
- Region C = Fill.
- Trigger "Play Fill Once" action that switches to C for one cycle, then returns to A.
  • Generative pattern:
- Multiple regions configured; Follow Action randomly selects the next region every 4 bars.

Original Post:
Allow for MULTIPLE loop points in the squencer
CURRENT STATE: The sequencer supports ONE, and only ONE loop point. There are WORK-AROUNDS, which take more work, more time, more confusion, more chance for error..... come one.... just do in right.... create a sequencer that allows multiple loop points. This may be similar to the feature request below. The functionality in the sequencer now is LAME, and workarounds are soOOOoo painful, and time consuming - like creating 1 bar empty loops that. I am wasting time making something that has a hidden secret meaning. This type of stuff destroys a users' confidence in the software.
