Default req: Live Mode Self Recording and API: prepare to play from new position

This request assumes 2 independent requests which complement.

1) a way to record our performance so that we are able to edit later:







2) a way to tell reaper in advance where playback will continue from and the locators repositioned: immediately or in the end of the loop, or immediately quantize value ) something like : please reaper at the end of this loop play and set loop locators from bar 20 to 24 )

This would allow Cockos and Community to make every kind of performance interfaces like:
- Looper like interfaces
- Ableton Live like interfaces
- old school tracker
- mpc
- groove boxes
- tr-808
- Experimental (who knows?)



Please discuss or support! : )

Locators position can be changed, or not?
1 is possible with reaper as well.

Loop n times, then set locators from a to b. Unit of a and b could be bars for example. Does not any such lua exist already, this should be possible easily, kind of. The value of n could be incoming midi note may, making it programmable via midi notes, or program change, we can convert midi events anyway via pizmidi midiConverter3.

It's not possible , I think you are missing the point. Loop is in 1 to 5. Recording would happen from example: 10

No, is possible, only not as real-time playback recording, but as action copy paste technique, used already, for experimental purposes, it works nicely, loop something anywhere, some 1bar region at the beginning of arrange for example, then after each loop, copy its current state to arrange end, it does then what also playtime does, just a simple copy+paste operation, from a to b, a being loop range, b arrange end (in my case).

If you count playtime also as non-existent, then yes. It is not forbidden ignoring available techniques. What playtime does, you can do either using playtime or by other means, like action combinations.

The request is mainly for being able to create other types of sequencers. The recording would be possible to while looping, muting , unmuting, playing with vol and sends would keep recorded. Anyway Is just an idea for them and community. Re Read first post maybe .

But you can do everything already, only not as live recording, but as copy+paste (automated via auto-action scripts of course), this is what I tried to communicate here.

The only difference would be, one is recording continuously, what we have at discrete points somewhere inside the looping region, copying the entire loop range, or whatever the script is designed to copy, and this works already perfectly. Kawa even designed special actions for that at my request, keeping the item mutes, while copying over.

Even this you can have, if you only design your mutes a bit differently, e.g. using extra jsfx for them:
- midi muting: automating max_velocity, value of 0 will mute those notes
- audio muting: volume jsfx, pulling it down will mute it, or bring to any db value you prefer instead, -40..-50 db maybe, so you will not have full silence gaps

Those you can automate then, e.g. in latch mode, while looping, and this would be also copied over, thus all your mutes would be kept.

I am no going to discuss if is possible or not. Definetly there is no way to do in a simple way, and not every user will be able to use it, because workflow is not oriented to do this effortless.
