Play different plugins and create MIDI clips with a MIDI controller

in Loopy Pro

I've seen tutorials that explain how to use a MIDI controller to create different audio clips and set up different switch buttons for them. I would like to use a MIDI controller to control different plugins and set up a separate MIDI clip for each plugin. The only way I've been able to do this is by setting the corresponding track to “Solo.”
Is this the only way to create a loop with a MIDI controller, different plugins, and different MIDI clips?

    Can you explain in more detail what you want?

    There are probably many ways to do what you want, but I am not clear about what you want.

    You could set up clips of different MIDI colors. Set a different plugin as the desitination of each color.

    If you want to use the same controller for all, make each color a destination of the control and set up a a widget or widgets to switch the the MIDI destination for the controller.

    This wiki page has videos about setting up routing with the Enable/Disable MIDI Destination action: https://wiki.loopypro.com/Synth_Routing_2.0

    Thank you for your feedback.
    The tutorials are about audio clips. I wanted to control different MIDI clips with a MIDI controller. When I played the MIDI controller, all MIDI clips were played. I probably didn't set the colors correctly, even though the MIDI clips had different colors.

    The feature also applies to targeting midi clips.

    The enable/disable midi destination action acts on midi destinations.

    Also see the simple midi switcher tutorial project in the Sample Projects/Tutorials

    It sounds like something wasn’t set up correctly if the midi went to all destinations. If you use the switch subaction only one destination will be enabled

    Can you upload a simple project?

    Here is the Simple Midi Switcher example’s mixer. It has all colors as destinations but only one is enabled at a time

    The destinations

    Orange is disabled because the switch enabled another color
