I checked the path, rescan is O.K. but I've searched "playtime", there's no playtime.

Are you sure you did a "clear cache and rescan" and not just a rescan?
It does appear as "Playtime" in the VSTi's

Controller Support?
I have just got a Behringer CMD Touch TC64, It's a very nice controller, and it has a Launchpad compatibility mode.
At least in launchpad compatibility mode I am able to launch clips and such from Playtime, but there is no feed back from playtime / reaper to light the pads up to indicate what is a happening.
I am able to get basic feedback from reaper on the pads if I reroute midi through a new track and out to the controller, I can't seem to get that to work with playtime.
So my question is: Am I doing something wrong? Does playtime light up the regular Launchpad? How can I get this one to light up or have comparability with this controller.
Thanks!

You can either
a)re-install and make note of the install paths
b)find the "playtime.dll" file and point reaper to it or move to a folder reaper scans

Any chance that you use the possibilities of reapers new tool "super8" to record the first item for live looping?
That way we would have PERFECT timing for the tempodetection and the recording of the first item...

Hello guys!!
Since this thread was becoming pretty overwhelming (thanks & appreciation to HelgoBoss, bugs report, new features, questions, etc.) I thought we could move the "how to" questions related to workflow & features that are already implemented specifically to a new thread.
Please, head over here and help me with this little problem i'm having regarding the "record start time - next measure"
http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.p...=1#post1679526
Cheers & thanks!

Can't wait to see what's next. I wonder what other types of stuff can be done utilizing the same options the developer has used for playtime? Has anyone else jumped into this at all? Maybe the same type of ableton type functions from a different perspective?

Hi there,
I am still procrastinating to really use playtime.
My main issue is, what controller to use.
I would love use it like a luxurious looper.
Does anyone of you use controllers that were made for ableton live?

Launchpad here, but playtime has such bad latency for me, i stopped using it, I need to get the developer a video at some point.

I guess I'm also wondering if someone could make a video with tips on how to make our own playtime type stuff with the same options that are inside reaper. Props to the developer for making the first awesome plugin the way he did. But is that where it ends? There has to be other cool stuff that can be done.

Interesting, so launchpad works, triggering scenes and clips ?
Is it a real mess to set it up?
What do you mean with latency? I thought playtime will go with the reaper latency (as much as your audio buffer has).

I don't think I've even used Playtime since I bought it. I have a new computer now so plan to set it up with my FCB1010 (MIDI foot controller) and hope it works half as good as Mobius (freeware).

As of Dec 24, yes. I've been using it exclusively for the last few months.
Discovering "Link Shell Extension" was a godsend so I didn't need to worry about every single sample and plugin being installed in the exact same place...

Yo guys! Just wondering if you've experienced this strange behavior with playtime when trying to record & loop stuff.
I have a GIF demonstrating here : http://gph.is/1Yk6lmx
So typically, when using other loopers with default settings (Boss Rc-300/Rc-505), If there's already a track playing (say you just record it and now it's looping) and you want to record onto the next track, you can hit the record button of that new track on ANY beat and it's gonna wait for the new measure on beat #1 to actually start the recording.
That way, you have time to prepare yourself : press record and put your hands back on the guitar or keyboard for that upcoming measure.
PLaytime doesnt do that for me, it just start recording right away and puts the created item (thus with a gap at beginning) to next measure...

Pretty much plug n play, it is near enough designed as default to work with Launchpad.
I have been struggling with latency and lost notes, but i finger drum DnB, so nobody else here has experienced it, i keep meaning to do a video for the developer, but honestly it is of little importance to me right now, I rarely post here anymore because i prefer to just load Maschine/MPC/Studio One and actually make a tune/build a performance.

You have given me some helpful input for buying a notebook.
I was considering to buy an MSI but I changed my mind and bought a Schenker/XMG.

Does anyone have the windows 64-bit installer for Playtime v1.11 they could share with me? The Helgo Boss website is returning a "502 Bad Gateway" error.

Hi Playtime users,
you've probably noted that I've been silent for a while in this thread. Amongst other things, I've been working on a way to improve controlling Playtime via general-purpose MIDI controllers. For example, one thing which used to be surprisingly difficult was to navigate Playtime slots with MIDI buttons such as foot switches or keys (with knobs/faders it was very easy). You either had to write a controller configuration file yourself - which is not very intuitive (because it has a different focus - to support 3rd-party "single-purpose" matrix controllers like the Launchpad). Or you had to make extensive use of MIDIToReaControlPath, JS MIDI plugins ... very messy.
I could have fixed that in Playtime itself of course by providing additional controllable parameters tailored to the use with MIDI buttons. But eventually I realized that the cleanest way of fixing this would be to have more MIDI-learn features in REAPER. So I decided to write the new, free plug-in ReaLearn which you can use standalone without Playtime. A plug-in which supports advanced MIDI-learn scenarios - which I personally often encounter, also without Playtime. The advantage: You can benefit of those new MIDI-learn features also with other plug-ins (not only Playtime). And there's more to it than just controlling plug-in parameters.
Here's how you would set it up with Playtime in order to let the middle "C" key on your MIDI keyboard navigate to the previous slot and the "D" next to it navigate to the next slot:
.
Here's the corresponding REAPER project file. Before opening it, you need to install ReaLearn of course.
I'm going to answer the questions of your previous posts in the next post.
Benjamin

That would be greatly appreciated. Just an RPP file and some instructions what you intend to do would be enough actually. As soon as I'm aware of the latency problem, I can fix it. That would be my highest priority because Playtime is very much about timing

The result is that there is roughly 2 beats of silence before the notes play - everything is shifted to the right - the loop length is correct so at the end things just get truncated. Now, my timing is bad but not that bad, if I record the same thing directly to the track in Reaper the recording is as I would expect.
I'm using the latest version, all settings are at at their defaults except for auto play after record. If I turn off the auto play setting things work as expected, except that I have to manually trigger the newly recorded part obviously.
Also, the behavior is the same whether I use mouse clicks or map automation to my MIDI controller.

Any chance you can send me the RPP file and instructions in which track you want to record?

With the original Launchpad, visual feedback just works if you set Launchpad as MIDI hardware output of the Playtime track (setting it as hardware output is mandatory). Could you try that with your Behringer CMD Touch TC64 as well?

Rather not. super8 doesn't work with MIDI clips for example and it has a very different concept. I would rather work on Playtime's timing itself. But in order to do that, I need to know what's the actual problem. Is the problem that with "Auto-play recorded clips" switched on, the recorded clip starts too late?

Playtime was built with Launchpad in mind. Just set Launchpad as MIDI input and MIDI output for the Playtime track and choose "Launchpad" as "Connected controller" on settings page 2. That's it.

OK, that's weird. I mean it's normal that Playtime starts recording right away (for better timing) and crops the clip later. But the shift of 2 beats in your second recording looks like a bug. I'll look into it.

Playtime seems so incredibly powerful but it lacks a very in depth video tutorial, explaining all aspects
of Playtime.
And i know alot of people are feeling the same way.
There are some Playtime vids out there but they are not in depth enough.
I just wanna know EVERYTHING about Playtime.
I fiddled around abit with Playtime but alot of it's functionality i just don't get.
For me, it's just not that intuitive and userfriendly, so i need a well laid out explanation, preferably a tutorial vid.
Please !

It works well when the assignment to the volume control is done by action type. And respect my track control panel preferences.

Thanks for that info. Can you please go more into detail? Is it an issue with "Target learn" or have you already learned the volume target and now controlling the volume doesn't work as expected? OS X or Win?

The problem is not with the assignment. It is with the behavior. It works very logarithmically, not linear. When the assignment is by actions function works as it did from the assignment to track volume control through the list of Reaper actions.
Sorry for my English. I do not know if I was clear.

Hi Diego. Thanks for the explanation and the video. Got it. This will be fixed in beta4 (soon to be released). Then it works exactly like the action. (Just in case anybody wonders, the advantage over the action is that it is independent of track numbers.)
By the way, I forgot to mention: There's an official ReaLearn forum thread. Would be nice to keep the ReaLearn stuff there from now on. Thanks!

1. It's also available in 64-bit.
2. No, it's just sold on the website.

This may have been addressed, but reading though this thread I didnt see it.
Does Playtime allow for following action?
In Live for example you can set parameters for how many times a clip plays and what happens when its finished. Goto next clip in group for example or goto first clip.

I spent some time last eve and came up with a way using mega baby sequencer to trigger clips and scenes. It actually works really well. But it is limited to 64 beats. Not long enough for a whole tune. I tried using a regular midi item but because Playtime jumps to the end of the project, any item you try to use will be skipped over.
Are there maybe some actions that I am not thinking of that could do the same thing?

Not yet. I experimented with it once and realized it's technically indeed possible and feasible to implement this feature. Can't tell you any release date though.

Settings => Play arrangement with clips => On (then Playtime doesn't jump to the end anymore)

Super... I've been wondering if that was doable
Is there or will there be an option to remove media items from the arrangement and just retain in the project bay? And thus give the experience of them being retained in the playtime interface (as well as add/creating items there and they only show on the arrangement for editing or during recording (like live)?

Question.
Can Playtime be controlled using Program Change messages?
All footswitch actions I do are with Program Change messages.
I would thus want to control Playtime without having to redo all my actions and whatnot.
Thanks!
