Templates:Sequencer Hacks
This article covers some techniques for using Loopy Pro's timeline/sequencer in non-typical ways. Loopy Pro's timeline is a flexible tool that can be used for more than simple linear playback of a sequence. This page provides some tricks for supercharging the timeline.
Dummy Clips
Many timeline hacks make use of dummy clips. These are silent clips with play and/or stop follow actions that can be placed in the timeline to trigger actions when the silent clip starts or stops.
‘Queue Next’ Project
This project demonstrates one method of switching up the order of timeline sequence playback on-the-fly. Want to go back to the bridge after the current section or jump to the end? We've got you covered.
How It Works
This project uses a dummy clip with Stop Clip follow action that can jump to a new timeline location. A stepped dial is used to set where the timeline jumps to via the Seek Timeline action. You can use MIDI bindings to set the jump location. After each jump the dial resets itself to do nothing. You can select the jump location (usually via MIDI) any time during a section, and it will be trigger at end of any of the magenta dummy clips added to the timeline.

This project demonstrates how to set up buttons to navigate the timeline and set up repeating sections. The download includes a pdf and tutorial widgets that describe how the project works.
Main Features
- Go To buttons - jump to any sequence section.
- Go & Repeat buttons - jump to any section and repeat.
- Repeat Section On/Off - turn section looping on/off.
- Toggle Sequence button - turn the sequencer on and off to mix sequenced and pure-live looping
NOTE: When a sequence is playing, your live-looping features are available. You can live loop while using sequenced accompaniment.
