Question about an unexpected Action behavior

lagouynlagouyn
in Loopy Pro

Hello.

Assume I have two clips, the same color.

I create a button that toggles play/stop on ALL clips.

I record to both of the clips. Both clips are stopped.

So far so good … clicking my button toggles both clips.

I now tap ONE of the clips with my finger. It plays.

I tap my button. The playing clip stops. The other clip remains stopped

Subsequent taps on the button ONLY affect the button that I had tapped with my finger.

Question: why doesn’t my button affect both clips anymore? It was configured to toggle play/stop on ALL clips.

Confused.

Thanks.

    Can you make a screen recording that shows the settings for the actions and the global clip settings and demonstrates the behavior?

    I just tried it . The behavior is surprising. It looks like loopy tries to get the two clips into the same state and then toggles then rather than toggling the clips independently.

    @Michael : is this intended?

  • MichaelMichael

    Yep, that's intended – it'll remember the playback state of the clips you're targeting, so you can turn them off and it'll preserve which clips were playing when you turn them back on as a group. If you don't want that, turn off "Remember Playback State" for the action.

    Thank you for clarifying, Michael.
    I tried turning off your suggested action setting, and that did the trick.
    I do think that the effect of that setting is subtle, even with the text label accompanying the switch. I’m a Loopy Pro learner, so I haven’t fully absorbed all of its many wonderful features and nuances, but I wonder if defaulting this option to Off might yield a more intuitive result, especially in the case where the target of the action is “All” … for example, when it is “All Clips”.

    To clarify, even with remember playback state off, if multiple clips are target with the same toggle action and the clips don’t start in the same state, the first button press will result in all clips being in the same state rather than flipping them individually.
