Description:
Enable a "MIDI Learn" mode for external plugin parameter controls within Loopy Pro. This feature would allow users to map hardware MIDI controllers (knobs, faders, pads) to automate plugin parameters like cutoff, resonance, mix level, and more using an intuitive learning workflow.
Problem:
  • Currently, users cannot dynamically assign MIDI hardware to control parameters of loaded external plugins.
  • Each parameter must be manually adjusted via touchscreen, hindering hands-on performance and tweaking.
  • Lack of MIDI mapping limits integration with hardware controllers and slows creative workflow.
Proposed Solution:
  • Introduce a dedicated MIDI Learn mode within the plugin interface.
  • When activated, moving a desired MIDI control triggers a learn event, prompting the user to assign it to a specific plugin parameter.
  • Allow users to save and recall MIDI mapping presets per plugin or overall project.
Benefits:
  • Enables tactile control over plugin parameters for live performance and studio use.
  • Streamlines mapping workflows, reducing setup time and increasing flexibility.
  • Enhances integration with MIDI controllers like Launchpad, MIDI Fighter, Novation Launch Control, Stream Deck, etc.
Examples:
  • Use a MIDI knob to adjust a plugin’s filter cutoff in real time during live performance.
  • Map faders on a MIDI control surface to plugin mix and wet/dry parameters.
  • Recall saved MIDI mapping presets when switching between different effect plugins.

Original Post:
Ability to learn midi by tap from external plugins window. I have a loopy pro midi AU, but when i tap to learn midi from it, the learn state automatically switching off. So i forced to go manually to assign all my buttons.
Ideally I wish the solution was where LoopyAU doesn't require midi, but works transparently with a LoopyHost. So it actually is like a widget which can catch up with different parameters to select them directly.
