Default Live Keys Scripts

These scripts are designed for those who want to use Reaper for live performance such as a replacement for MainStage. (NOW WORKS WITH MAC AND WINDOWS)

Using these scripts saves computing power by turning off ALL tracks and FX (up to 16 tracks) except the desired track allowing for more stable operation for a live performance using Reaper. Tracks that are disabled take no processing power.

In order to prevent sounds 'cutting off' when selecting different sounds, the previous track is allowed to continue to finish playing and does not mute until a new track is selected.

The script only works on the first 16 tracks. If you need some tracks that always stay 'on' and are not effected by it, simply create 16+ tracks... the ones above 16 will be ignored by the script.

Install these scripts in your 'Scripts' directory in Reaper.

The following video explains how to install and use the "Live Keys Scripts" for Reaper script files:

Seemingly this is exactly what SWS "Live Configs" is about. I use same since years. See the sticky thread in this forum.

I am planning to come up with a more comprehensive solution implemented as a VST some day

It is similar, but different in some areas. (NOW WORKS WITH MAC AND WINDOWS)

This script allows for instantaneous switching from one track to another without cutting notes or effects off. In other words, delays, reverbs, and long string patches continue to sound when selecting new tracks.

Muting and bypass is delayed to allow for sounds to finish playing.

Perhaps there are other scripts that do this as well, but this one does exactly what I needed it to do.

In addition, bypassed tracks and FX are hidden out of view and only the selected track is visible (up to 16 tracks). This is done in order to allow for the automatic larger track size increase this script performs for the selected track.

Both are great... others may find this script useful which is why I'm sharing it.

Pilpelineaudio once used some script I did for a similar issue he had witn LiveConfigs. We had a long discussion on this in the forum those days.

Right now I started to try to do a VST that is meant to be an upgrade to LiveConfigs (which is not actively maintained any more).

I'll take a look ...

I have uploaded a revised version that now works with both Mac and Windows.

Please re-download and use the file that is there now.

Thank you!

Supposedly providing the script(s) via ReaPack would be appropriate.
