  Hi, I am a new user and am amazed at Loopy Pro. I am concentrating now on setting up my inputs. Having made a set of six radio buttons to select presets for B3-X and binding them to a midi controller was surprisingly easy, thank you.
  Now, I think I would like to use the same set of radio buttons to select presets on other synths as well. Would this be the place to use Control Profiles? Perhaps selected with a dial switch to select the synth?

  Control Profiles can change what midi triggers those radio buttons but not the actions in the radio buttons.

  Are your radio buttons selecting presets or sending midi that changes presets?

  Thanks for the quick reply. They are selecting presets. When I go back and look at them in the edit window they say they are scrolling presets. I did see a YouTube video about creating a midi destination not used for looping to create a color that would pass midi thru. Got a little lost in that. Sure do appreciate those save points 😵‍💫

  In this case, you probably want to create one radio button set or stepped dial per set of presets. You could then use control profile switching so that the same midi triggers each one and then switch targets.

  See:

  You could have a radio button group that sends midi to the midi control system and use target switching to change which preset selector is targeted. That is discussed in the article too

  @Bellows This seems to be similar to what I wanted to do,

  3 buttons: verse, chorus, bridge.

  Each button would trigger a midi clip for that specific section of a song. So 3 separate clips

  BUT... there would be several songs, so I would have 3 midi clips per song. And have a button for each specific song to somehow point to which group of clips to trigger.

  So only 3 buttons to activate, but what they activate depends on a 3rd button.

  I had help from espiegel to try and get it done with one stepped dial (similar to a radio button), but ended up needing one dial for each song part.

  I think you'd be able to do something similar.

  Here's a video of it working, though I only used 2 song sections to experiment with. On the right are the 2 buttons, for verse/chorus. In the middle are the 2 stepped dials for verse and chorus. The top 2 orange clips are verse/chorus for song 1, below are the clips for song 2. And below that are the buttons to select each song. That could have been done with a dial too, but button widgets suit me better for this.

  I was originaly going to use this to select AUV3 presets too, So it would have been very similar to what you want. but I found midi clips better for what I was doing. The method should be the same. Depending how you set it up I think you could have 1 stepped dial per preset button, or 1 stepped dial per per plugin. I think.... PS stepped dials and radio buttons have very similar functionality.

  Thanks for your input. It is most appreciated.
