-====== Loopy Pro: Synth Routing Switch ======
-An occasional question is how to use buttons or a dial to route a MIDI controller between different synths. This tutorial shows the approach I use.
-{{:loopy_pro:loopypro_synthswitch_1.jpg?600|}}
-In a nutshell:
-  * Add your controller as a MIDI source
-  * Add each synth you want to play to the mixer
-  * Add each of those synths as destination for the controller
-  * Create a Mute Synths button that mutes each of the synths that is a destination of the controller
-  * Add a radio button group or stepped dial with one button or step per destination
-  * Destination button or dial step, add an action to trigger the Mute Synths widget followed by an action to unmute the desired destination.
-Note that the muted synths will use no CPU. Only the active synth will use your device's processing power

-Set the mute actions to happen at the same time by tapping on the dot to the left of the action and choosing the "with last" option.

-For each radio button, give the button or step a name and use the following actions. Note that the action labeled press is a trigger widget action that targets the Mute All/Mute Synths button created earloer

-Make sure the unmute action is set to happen after the Mute All action.

-==== Mute Button Hidden ====
-For a "clean" look, the Mute Synths button can be put on a different page. Here are two variants with a "hidden" Mute Synths button.
