This is normal behavior (Playtime needs a continuously running transport).

Is it possible to get a 10 channel file recorded using playtime?

(Sidenote, I am looking at playtime because of abletons lack of surround capabilities.)

Thank you!
Right now, recording from inputs offer up to 2 channels. Recording from track offers up to 8 channels. I created a ticket for that.

At times I am using Playtime slots to act like an instrument / sampler. I have audio clips with MIDI toggle mode set to off and - typically - play start time and play stop time set to immediately (note: I can reproduce the problem whenever MIDI toggle is off regardless of start/top times, however it is more pronounced when start/stop times are set to immediately).

While I am just triggering the clips via MIDI everything works as expected. Even very short triggers like stuttering a vocal clip or finger drumming style play work. I use a Launchpad Pro as MIDI controller to Playtime. Of course I can also record the MIDI input and play everything afterwards, still no problem.

When using Playtime's Write Mode to actually "stamp" the clips on the corresponding tracks I get timing problems: Sometimes clips from the same slot overlap in time which creates multiple takes. Since I have just one pad to trigger one clip that should of course never happen (I cannot logically have one pad on and off at the same time or on "multiple times"). Also, sometimes Playtime accidentally writes the entire clip although I released the pad already. All of this happens only if I very rapidly tap on the pad. It seems that Write Mode causes Playtime to become quite inaccurate in terms of sensing MIDI events in time and writing them onto the track at exactly those times. This is weird because without Write it is perfectly precise. Possibly also linked to Reaper's API you are using for writing clips...

I had the suspicion that maybe the sluggishness tolerance had something to do with this behavior but even setting it to 0 did not help.

Do you have any idea what the cause could be and if there is any remedy?
Actually I would have also suspected the sluggishness tolerance. But yes, it must be something else then. I'll have a look. Ticket 269.

I am running the latest version of Playtime, and Reaper... bought Playtime a few years ago (at version 1.0 I think)... just got around to messing with it again.

Thanks everyone!
Should be already possible with the normal Launchpad and more than 8x8 slots by selecting "Launchpad" as controller. Doesn't this work?

Do you use Playtime in combination with ReaLearn? Or normal REAPER automation? How and when does it get messed up?

I am on

Reaper 5.4 64bit
osx 10.9.5

cheers

edit: found it, was the preference VST>Don't flush plugins on stop/reset
Oh, interesting find! I'll try to automatically enable this whenever Playtime is active.
