	~~'''How it works'''. The clips make use of follow actions that change the master cycle length and realign the clock when a part starts playing even if the parts are different lengths.~~

	'''To add more mutually exclusive clips,''' use the following steps so that new clips will have the follow actions needed for well-behaved serial looping.

	* Copy the verse clip		* Copy the verse clip
Line 75:		Line 72:
	* Add the clip to play group 1 (the only play group)		* Add the clip to play group 1 (the only play group)

			==== How It Works ====
			There are a few settings worth knowing about if you want to get the same behavior in your own projects. Because we want to support verses and choruses that are different lengths, phase-lock is turned off. For slightly complicated reasons, we use Master for the play/stop quantization setting rather than Loop. When the verse and chorus loops play, they set the master cycle length to their length. The result is that they behave as if loop play quantization is on.

			'''Follow Actions'''. The verse clip has play follow actions: Copy Master Length from This Clip and Phase Align Clock. On Clear Clip, the master cycle length is set to the groove clip length. The chorus clip has Begin Initial Record follow actions: Copy Master Length from Groove (which ensures that the chorus is a multiple of the groove clip), Phase Align Clock. Its play follow actions are the same as the verse clip's: Copy Master Length from This Clip and Phase Align Clock.

			'''Copy Master/Phase Align Clock'''. These two actions are used together to ensure that the clips and the master clock are the same length and lined up. This makes it possible to use actions like quantized retrospective recording that require alignment with the master clock and ensures that play and stop start and stop in synch with the master clock.

			The project assumes that the groove clip is recorded first and the verse is recorded next. With slight modifications of the project, it would be possible to record the clips in any order.

This project has an XY-Pad set up to control the cutoff and Q parameters of a low-pass filter. The XY-Pad sends MIDI messages to the Blue MIDI color to be recorddd. When the blue clip plays, it re-triggers the XY-Pad with the recorded automation.

	* '''A widget:''' A widget (the XY pad) that performs actions (in this case adjust a filter) and sends MIDI messages to a MIDI Color.		* '''A widget:''' A widget (the XY pad) that performs actions (in this case adjust a filter) and sends MIDI messages to a MIDI Color. In most cases, MIDI Through should be turned off in the widget's Send MIDI action.
	* '''Clip(s)''': A MIDI clip or clips whose color matches the widget's Send MIDI action.		* '''Clip(s)''': A MIDI clip or clips whose color matches the widget's Send MIDI action. The automation will be recorded in these clips.
	* '''Bindings''': MIDI bindings in a project profile ~~set to be triggered by~~ the ~~MIDI received from the automation~~'s MIDI ~~color. The~~ bindings ~~should perform~~ the ~~same actions as set up in~~ the ~~widget~~.		* '''Bindings''': MIDI bindings in a project profile that mirror the widget's bindings. Typically, the MIDI bindings will retrigger the widget that sent the automation MIDI.

	The widget's Send MIDI action should generally have the ''Monitor Through'' option turned off to prevent MIDI feedback and redundant MIDI. The ~~MIDI bindings~~ should generally be to ~~the same actions performed by~~ the widget ~~rather than back~~ the ~~widget. For example, if~~ the ~~widget adjusts an effect parameter, your binding should adjust the effect parameter rather than trigger the widget~~.		==== Element Setup ====
			{\|
	~~In this example, the XY Pad has two actions for the X and Y directions: an action that adjusts a low-pass filter parameter and a Send MIDI Message action. The Send MIDI action sends a CC to Blue with~~ ''~~monitor through~~'' ~~turned~~ off~~. The blue clip~~ can ~~record the CCs from the XY pad. In the project profile~~, ~~there are bindings from~~ the ~~CCs in Blue to adjust effect parameter~~ for ~~the low-pass filter. The filter adjustments are reflected by the XY Pad~~.		![[File:XY Pad Actions Automation Example.jpg\|alt=The actions for the XY-Pad\|thumb\|299x299px]]

			'''Send MIDI Message'''. The widget's Send MIDI Message action should generally have the ''Monitor Through'' option turned off to prevent MIDI feedback and redundant MIDI events. The ''Takeover'' option should generally be turned on. It allows you to use the widget during playback and have the interaction take over from the automation. Turning ''Takeover'' off can be fun, too -- allowing you to fight with the automation for stuttering effects.

	'''~~Why does the XY Pad animate during playback?~~''' ~~When you play the example's automation clip, the XY Pad seems to playback the recorded~~ MIDI~~, but there is no MIDI binding~~ to the ~~XY Pad. The XY Pad's animation is actually [[State Feedback\|state feedback]] from~~ the ~~low-pass filter. The~~ MIDI ~~clip's CCs are controlling the low-pass filter. The XY Pad's state is updated~~ to ~~reflect~~ the ~~low-pass filter. No MIDI is being sent to~~ the ~~XY Pad~~. ~~If you open the filter effect and manually change the cutoff and q~~, ~~you will see~~ the ~~XY pad reflect the adjustments~~.		'''The MIDI Bindings.''' The MIDI bindings can be set up to retrigger the widget that sent the MIDI or to perform the same actions performed by the widget. Generally, the first method is simplest.
