Support for Multi-Output AUv3 Plugins
planned
ultracello
Description:
Enable Loopy Pro to access and route individual outputs from multi-output AUv3 plugins. This would allow users to handle complex signal routing within Loopy itself, without needing to rely on external hosts like AUM.
Problem:
Currently, Loopy Pro does not expose the individual outputs of multi-output AUv3 plugins. As a result, users cannot route separate channels (e.g., drum parts or stems) to different buses, apply individual effects, or send them to discrete hardware outputs. This makes advanced mixing setups cumbersome and forces users to rely on external apps.
Proposed Solution:
– Detect and expose multiple output channels from AUv3 plugins
– Allow routing of each AUv3 output to a different Loopy Pro bus or track
– Enable per-output effect chains (e.g., reverb on snare, delay on hi-hats)
– Permit discrete outputs to be routed to specific physical outputs on an audio interface
– Maintain compatibility with AUv3 instruments like Digistix, Hammerhead, FAC Drumkit, Loopy AU (backing tracks), etc.
– Provide clear UI to manage output-channel mapping within Loopy Pro’s mixer or plugin settings
Benefits:
✅ Gives users full control over plugin output routing inside Loopy Pro
✅ Eliminates the need to use AUM or other routing apps for multi-output AUv3s
✅ Supports pro-level mixing setups with buses, FX, and separate audio interface outputs
✅ Makes Loopy Pro a more complete AUv3 host, especially for beatmakers and live performers
✅ Enhances flexibility for handling multi-part instruments and complex backing tracks

This would be great!!!!
I believe in you Michael!

I really don't understand how this isn't a priority.

Joshua Boden: The thing is Michael is a one-man-army and there are +800 items added on this site. :) We have to be patient.

This would be so helpful. I desperately want to route individual drums from apps like FAC Drumkit, Hammerhead, etc to reverb and delay buses, within Loopy as host 🙏

and also, I use backing tracks a lot in Loopy AU within Loopy as host, and I want to use different effects for different parts/colours in the backtrack, as well as route them to separate outs on my audio interface. I, too, want to stay within Loopy and not use AUM - for this particular use, anyway.

Yep - this would make a huge difference for mixing the output of plugins like Digistix. At the moment, it involves going via AUM or similar, which is a bit long-winded.
Joshua Boden
It feels like this should be a priority no?
