Description:
Enable multiple clip selection within Loopy Pro to allow users to choose a set of clips they want to trigger together, and then activate all of them with a single widget or action.
Problem:
Currently, users can only select and trigger clips one by one. There’s no built-in method for pre-selecting several clips and launching them simultaneously in a controlled and flexible way, which limits advanced live workflows.
Proposed Solution:
— Implement a multi-clip selection system for "Next Selected Clip" actions:
Option 1:
– Allow a multiple selection mode when using "Next Selected Clip"
– Small toggles (radio buttons) appear on each clip for selection
– Each clip can be toggled on/off via tap or a specific play/record action
– A second trigger of the same action (e.g. a widget or MIDI button) will execute the selection and start the selected clips
Option 2:
– Extend the current "Select Clip" action to allow additive selection
– New variant of the action would allow "add to selection", "remove from selection" or "replace selection"
— The selected clips can then be triggered together via:
– A widget (e.g. button or pad)
– MIDI bindings
– Follow actions
Benefits:
– Enables flexible and intentional clip launching
– Great for musical setups requiring complex layer control
– Ideal for performance scenarios where clip groups need to be staged and then launched together
– Non-destructive and intuitive for live users and composers
– Adds a missing link between sequencing and live triggering workflows
