Automating Input Muting Based on Clip Color in Loopy Pro

boohoomusic

Hi everybody,
I’m a new Loopy Pro user, and I’m curious about ways to automate input muting based on colors.

What I want to achieve is actually monitoring with the effects of the color. Ideal situation would be: I select a yellow clip -> only input that feeds to yellow and is monitored through yellow is soloed, other inputs are muted.

I’ve seen the tutorial where you can monitor through colors manually by pressing a button to mute certain inputs. However, I’m wondering if there’s a way to have specific inputs automatically mute/unmute simply by selecting a clip of a certain color.

Right now, I only see color-based actions in the follow actions for recording, but I’d like to apply this logic for selecting clips as well.

In short, what I want to do is keep my usual Loopy Pro workflow, and whenever I select a clip of a certain color, I want certain inputs to be muted automatically by follow actions. The emphasis here is on selecting a clip, not recording onto it. I want the inputs to mute and unmute depending on which color I have selected. By “selected,” I mean whichever clip has the little white dot in the center.

I use iPad and Steinberg UR22

Does anyone know or might be willing to guess?

Currently, there isn’t a select follow action but you could use the gesture or binding that selects the clip. Once a clip is selected you could use solo color with the target “color of selected clip”. But soloing the input that feeds that color is trickier. You might be able to cobble together some dials to accomplish the end result but it would be messy.

In the upcoming version, there are select and deselect folllow actions.
