Using Reaper Live with a music band
Hello!
I'm trying to configure Reaper to jump inmediately to a track defined by me (by his name or number) pressing any desired midi controller button. This way I can switch from a piano to a pad quickly. Is it possible to do this? I was seeing some SWS actions but I couldn't find the right one. Thanks in advance! |

I can't answer your question, but it makes me nervous when people use computers live... Have you ever had a "computer problem", and did it take you more than 5 minutes to fix? A guitar & amp can go a lifetime without a show-stopping problem (although you should carry an extra cable & strings), but computers are the least reliable things we own!
Some people do use computers* and I expect some replies here from people who've never had a problem on stage. (And, the "big acts" are probably using lots of computers in their shows). But, if computer is critical to the performance I recommend that you have a back-up computer configured and ready to go. It also helps if you have a dedicated computer that you don't "mess with" during the day. * And, there are people who don't use computers live anymore because a show was ruined. |

If that's the case, one option is probably to set all Tracks to 'Automatic record-arm when track is selected' first (via Track > Set all Tracks to automatic record-arm when track is selected): www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtE_UAUGNng And assign your MIDI controllers buttons to SWS: Select only track <track#> Actions. Another option might be making Custom Actions. Just as simple example: 1) Track: Unarm all tracks for recording 2) Track: Toggle record arm for track <track#> As a side note: the SWS Live Configs might also be interesting in general: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=139465 Last edited by solger; 09-28-2017 at 01:55 AM. |

My Song Switcher script can be useful for this (link in my signature) especially if your setup involves multiple tracks that must be switched for each song. It can be remotely controlled by MIDI, any web browser (eg. phone/tablet) or external software.
Making a midi controller button jump to a specific song can be done by assigning this short Lua snippet to the desired button: Code:
local song = "Song title or number here (can be partial)" reaper.defer(function() -- no undo point reaper.SetExtState('cfillion_song_switcher', 'filter', song, false) end)

Through reaconsole you can use:
the "s" action to select any track. Or the "a" action to Arm the track So you instantiate the console and you hit "aPiano" or "sPiano" Voilà If you want to unArm other tracks before you use a major case APiano This can be made into an action using the CONSOLE step of the cycle actions. You the. Link that action to a key and you're good to go. More on reaconsole: http://http://www.sws-extension.org/reaconsole.php
