Helgoboss Projects has released Playtime version 1.8.0.
Playtime is a Session View (aka clip launcher) for REAPER.




New features:

• Clip progress visualization.
• Group renaming.
• Easy creation of empty MIDI clips.

Complete list of changes:

• #139 Added useful indication of clip playing progress. Playtime feels more "alive" now.
• #39 Added group context menu entry 'Rename...'.
• #32 Added creation of empty MIDI clip when double clicking empty slot.
• #133 Added basic Ableton Push controller template with support for clip triggering and visual feedback. Requirements: Push must be in User Mode and the software PXT-General is necessary. Thanks to Guod3 for this contribution.
• #141 Improved GUI design by using rounded corners for clips as well.
• #137 Improved feedback to user by displaying a message if recording doesn't work because group track not set.
• #138 Improved consistency by triggering memorized clips also when recording.
• #143 Improved consistency by discarding recorded clip when pressing stop while still counting down.
• #147 Improved consistency by broadening automation parameter 'Trigger selected slot' to 'Trigger selected cell'.
• #125 Improved error message if Playtime fails to startup.
• #125 Improved usability by automatically forcing Playtime to run in native mode next time after startup has failed because Playtime was run in separate process due to REAPER preferences.
• #142 Fixed truncation of long automation parameter names.
• #140 Fixed automation parameters 'Record selected slot and go right/down' sometimes going right/down although not currently recording.
• #136 Fixed unexpected auto-playing when pressing stop.
• #134 Fixed too late auto-playing of recorded clips.
• #135 Fixed occasional crash when enabling/disabling GUI parts.
• #144 Fixed incomplete GUI refresh if starting to record while transport running.
• #145 Fixed unreliable GUI refresh in docked mode.
• #146 Fixed bug that caused live-only automation parameters to be restored on project load.
• #148 Fixed bug that caused slot recording when triggering a scene in 'record-if-slot-empty mode'.
• #149 Fixed automation parameter 'Trigger selected slot' causing retriggering instead of stop in one situation.
• #152 Fixed incomplete restore of MIDI triggers on controller change.
• #151 Fixed non-appearing message boxes in docked mode.

Seems very cool! Think I am going to buy this today. Thanks for the info. Looks like you can trigger video clips and images too. That sounds to me like it makes Reaper kinda like Resolume Arena. Trigger video, sounds, clips. Well worth $20.

Thanks.

 

Same here. Installed the demo now. Works great with Reaper 5. I guess I'll purchase too.

 

wow...I'd love this for Cubase!

 

Yep. here's a video demo. I've been playing with it for a while and works great.

 

Whoa, that's awesome

 

took the words right outta my mouth.. how did you do that????
