Description: Introduce advanced recording modes for clips, including Insert and Replace, along with granular overdub control. Enhance the looping workflow with layer-specific operations, velocity-based effects, quantization options, and full MIDI control. Problem: Currently, Loopy Pro supports overdubbing but lacks Insert and Replace modes. Users are unable to replace parts of loops with precise timing or control new overdubs with advanced behaviors like reverse playback or per-layer targeting. This limits both creative performance and structured editing. Proposed Solution: – Add Insert mode : Inject new content into a specific time range of a loop – Add Replace mode : Overwrite loop content within a defined region – Provide option to target specific layers or the entire clip – Add reverse overdub mode (like monome norns): overdub in reverse direction – Enable quantized insert/replace (clip/bar/beat-based) – Allow MIDI control for Insert/Replace toggle with flexible interaction: • Short press: toggle start/end • Long press: momentary (start on press, end on release) – Add input, feedback, output, and overdub level control per loop, assignable to CC – Include Insert/Replace FX presets , switchable via MIDI: • stutter • LFO • fade curves (e.g., 80% volume at start to 20% at end) – Enable Insert Before/After actions for clip content placement Benefits: ✅ Major creative expansion for live and experimental looping workflows ✅ Enables momentary and expressive clip transformation ✅ Opens up complex sonic design with Insert/Replace FX presets ✅ Fine control of recording layers via automation and MIDI ✅ Aligns with workflows from advanced loopers like monome norns ✅ Adds flexibility and non-destructive loop editing This summary was automatically generated by ChatGPT-4 on April 30, 2025.
