Description:
Introduce a new Follow Action type that triggers when the input signal drops
below
a user-defined threshold, rather than exceeding it. This should act as a general-purpose condition and support triggering
any
available action — not just starting or stopping recording.
Problem:
Currently, Loopy Pro allows actions to be triggered when input levels rise
above
a certain threshold (e.g. for auto-start recording), but not when they
fall below
a defined threshold. This limits dynamic control, such as automatically stopping a recording or triggering other actions when the input dies away.
Proposed Solution:
Implement a new threshold-based Follow Action condition:
  • If input signal drops
    below
    X dB for Y ms → trigger any specified action.
  • This trigger should be available in the same flexible context as existing Follow Actions (e.g. post-loop, after X bars, etc.).
  • The action itself could be anything available in the Action system: Stop, Play, Mute, Clear, etc.
Examples:
  • Stop Recording
    when input drops below -50 dB for 500ms
  • Switch Scene
    or
    Trigger Next Clip
    when input signal fades out
  • Mute Output
    automatically after a quiet passage
Benefits:
  • Enables more responsive and context-aware automation during live looping
  • Allows fully hands-free looping workflows (e.g. one-shot recordings that auto-stop)
  • Adds symmetry to the existing "threshold above" logic, increasing flexibility
