Playtime - Session view of Reaper

[xbitz]

works in REAPER only. It is designed to make loop-based music production in REAPER easier and much more fun. In particular, it offers a Session View loosely inspired by the one in Ableton Live. That means it enables you to play loops in a very intuitive way - just by triggering them using your MIDI controller or the graphical user interface.

This playful way of handling loops can be useful in many ways. For example, you can use it as a live performance instrument or for sketching your arrangement. Playtime integrates with REAPER by leveraging its unique extension API and thereby aims at a better user experience than combining REAPER with standalone software using ReWire. It essentially works by positioning items on tracks in realtime.

don't want to pollute other topics with it and because it seems working deserve an own topic here too,

so seems it's working as it should, checked just quickly in Reaper 6.14 (I've bought a license a long time ago not was sure in its actual state), please share your experiments with it, thx

Its currently EOL, the developer is thinking about open sourcing it, it has an issue or two that most people will never notice, great add on for Reaper, used it a lot live.

I really like Playtime for live looping, I'm still hoping for further development.. No other clip launcher seems to offer the ability to have multiple clips playing on a track at the same time. REAPER may of course be the only DAW to even allow multiple events on one track at the same time.

BTW since Playtime exposes a lot of parameters to REAPER for automation, these can be accessed and manipulated with a controller script. I wrote a script for the Controller Surface Integration (CSI) project to have modes for selecting and deleting clips with my Launchpad. So there is potential to add functionality to Playtime this way.
