Save And Restore Parameter Actions

From Loopy Pro Wiki

Loopy Pro's adjust parameter actions are able to save and restore values in addition to assigning values. This makes it possible to create snapshots of parameter settings that can be recalled. By using the adjust parameter ramp slider, you can morph between settings and snapshots. This save/restore capability belongs to the family of actions that have adjust in their names. This includes Adjust Parameter (Clip, Color Group And Audio Source Actions), Adjust Audio Unit Parameter, Adjust MIDI AU Parameter and more.

Multiple Parameters Targets. For Audio Units and Effects, Save/Restore can be done for multiple targets and multiple parameters can be saved into any of 10 save slots. For example, you can save any (or all) audio unit parameters of any of the loaded audio unit instruments into a slot and recall them at once with a single restore action.

Slots. Ten slots are available for an action to save into and restore from.

How To

How to Save/Restore Parameters

Save and restore parameters can be used anywhere that impulse actions are available. Impulse actions are available for buttons and any sort of non-continuous action (i.e. they aren't available for in a slider's value change block). To add a save or restore action:

  • Choose the the adjust parameter action of the desired type, such as Adjust Audio Unit Parameter
  • In the panel that pops up, tap on the action type and Save Value
  • Tap in the Targets area and choose a target
  • Choose the parameter or parameters (multiple parameters can be chosen for only some types of actions such Adjust Audio Unit Parameter or Adjust Effect Parameter).
  • Choose additional targets where applicable.
  • Choose a Save Slot where the parameters will be saved.

To restore the save parameters, the easiest thing to do is to long-press on the action that saved the parameters and paste that action into the widget where you would like to add the restore action. Tap on the action field and chose Restore Value.

If copy/pasting the save action is not convenient, you create a restore action with the same process that you used to create save action but choose Restore Value rather than Save Value

Morphing. You can use morph between values by setting a ramp time.
