Description
This feature request proposes the implementation of an action in Loopy Pro that allows users to reset the playhead of selected clips or entire color groups to a specific position. The goal is to enhance live performance capabilities by enabling precise control over clip playback positions without initiating playback.
Problems
  • Lack of Precise Control
    : Currently, Loopy Pro lacks an action that allows users to reset the playhead of a clip or group of clips to an exact position without starting playback. This limitation hinders the ability to prepare clips for synchronized playback during live performances.
  • Workflow Inefficiency
    : Without the ability to reset playheads precisely, users may need to manually stop and reposition clips, disrupting the flow of a live set and increasing the risk of timing errors.
  • Limited Automation
    : The absence of a dedicated playhead reset action restricts the automation potential within Loopy Pro, limiting complex performance setups that require precise clip positioning.
Proposed Solution
  • Implement Reset Playhead Action
    : Introduce a new action that allows users to reset the playhead of selected clips or color groups to a user-defined position without initiating playback.
  • Integration with Existing Systems
    : Ensure compatibility with Loopy Pro's current action framework, including MIDI bindings, widgets, and follow actions, to facilitate seamless integration into existing workflows.
  • Quantization Options
    : Provide quantization settings for the reset action to align playhead positions with the project's tempo and rhythm, enhancing synchronization during performances.
Benefits
  • Enhanced Performance Control
    : Enables performers to prepare clips for playback with precision, improving timing and synchronization during live sets.
  • Streamlined Workflow
    : Reduces the need for manual adjustments, allowing for smoother transitions and more dynamic performances.
  • Expanded Automation Capabilities
    : Facilitates the creation of complex, automated performance setups by providing precise control over clip playhead positions.
