Yep you just MIDI learn your controls to the commands in the automation/envelopes window for the track containing Playtime.
When there are "simple" and "advanced" controls I have had better results with the "simple" versions of stuff.
Scroll down to section 3.12 for a list of all the commands and what they do. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory in the automation panel though.

Hi Ben, i suggest you (if it is possible), to add a way to sequence the scenes (and the clips). I mean a number box on the right of the scene name where i can write how many times the scene has to be played. For example, i have 6 scenes to play, and i want to play 2 times the first, 5 times the second, 1 times the third, ecc... in automated way. I think it can be useful.

I have this problem when recording audio in Playtime: the length of the recording for the slot gets as long as the WAV and not according to the closest measure.
What do I do wrong? Is there some setting I missed? It works for MIDI though...

What is needed to port Playtime to Linux? I have lots of experience compiling and packaging software on Linux and would be happy to help!

Can not Playtime simply replicated, just by a few custom actions? At least its main functionality, which is, looping something, then auto-pasting at project end at each loop begin (or end) crossing. I tried once, and it seemed to work.
PHP Code:
Custom: COPY LOOP TO PROJECT END
SWS: Wait until end of loop (if playing)
SWS: Select only track 1
Item: Select all items in current time selection
Edit: Copy items/tracks/envelope points (depending on focus) within time selection, if any (smart copy)
SWS: Go to end of project, including markers/regions
Item: Paste items/tracks, creating pooled (ghost) MIDI items and automation items regardless of preferences/Media/MIDI and preferences/Media/Automation settings
Unselect all tracks/items/envelope points
Script: X-Raym_Go to start of previous region.lua
or some variation of above. Or even some custom lua which does all together, even including some improvements. You would just loop somewhere, mute things in/out, and all would be auto-pasted to project end, as long as you loop.
The above custom action you could add to an action marker inside the loop somewhere, in the middle, bestly.

Would it make sense to move this thread in the "Live" subforum ?
Did you read -> https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...73&postcount=1 ? Would it make sense to include Playtime as an example there ?

Launchpad Pro lose connection with Playtime
Hello,
like written above my Launchpad Pro lose the connection to Playtime.
The playtimeversion is v 1.15.0.pre , OS is win 7.
The same with Version 1.14.1
When i open a new Project in reaper with playtime-template everything works fine, after a while (i still can see in Launchpad the loaded clips) but when i press the Buttons on the Launchpad , it doesn't trigger or stop the clips anymore in playtime.
With the midi reset in playtime , the buttons gets dark and when i push play in playtime I can see again where the clips are and wich clips are active, but still not pssible to stop are activate clips.
The Pads are also not responsive,i mean they don't change the Colour when i press them.
When i start MIDI-OX the Pads get responsive again and i can see that the Lauchpad send Midi data
Maybe somebody has the same issue and knows a solution ?
thanks

I was super thrilled when I first discovered playtime and some it's feature similar to ableton. Was gonna do a serie of live recording/looping video.
Than I realised then that there were still some important features lacking, for example :
1-having a general button to stop/overdubb any track or "cell" currently recording.. can be handy to be able to map that to your keyboard instead of launchpad )
2- Midi quantize on the way in (without stopping your performance),
I'd truly wish there was a team behind Benjamin or that Reaper picked up the ball to help but as it is right now, seems hes alone for ALL our request and probably busy for other stuff too (And I don't blame the guy at all. Last news was in August I think ??
Anybody know when an update is coming?!

It was my mistake, I deactivated the arm button in the Playtimetrack, now everything works fine again.

Easily over 100 commands to use, even if each can only send "on" that is more than enough to play around with.
If this could be possible:
SoftStep 2 bank 1:
Button 1 - Record/Stop (or auto play?) slot 1
Button 2 - Play/stop Slot 1
Button 3 - Record/Stop (or auto play?) slot 2
Button 4 - Play/stop Slot 2
Button 5 - Record/Stop (or auto play?) slot 3
Button 6 - Play/stop Slot 3
Button 7 - Record/Stop (or auto play?) slot 4
Button 8 - Play/stop Slot 4
Button 9 - Record/Stop (or auto play?) slot 5
Button 10 - Play/stop Slot 5
Is this feasible then?
Or would it be limited to:
Button 1 - Record/Stop (or Play) slot 1
Button 2 - Play slot 1
Button 3 - Stop slot 1
Button 4 - Record/Stop (or Play) slot 2
Button 5 - Play slot 2
Button 6 - Stop slot 2
Button 7 - Record/Stop (or Play) slot 3
Button 8 - Play slot 3
Button 9 - Stop slot 3
Button 10 - unknown
Scenario 1 is preferable, but #2 is still totally workable.

I just thought I would reiterate my ultra desire for this.
Prob the only person in the world who wants this so I understand if not possible.

Only Generic controller option showing up
I'm only seeing "Generic" as an option in the "Connected controller" dropdown. I have a Launchpad Pro and a Push running PXT-General. Any ideas? How does Playtime detect my controller? Thanks

Hi Ben, Great product, I've just this started using it and it will be perfect for my needs once I set it up the way I like.
I have one mjaor problem though, I'm using a lunchpad mini and I'm not getting any lights at all? Any ideas of a fix?

Great !
If you use it in Live performances, could you post a more detailed report in the "Live Use" subforum ?
Regarding the lights on the Lauchpad, maybe looking in the "Control Surfaces" subforum might help.

Sure will, it works well as a clip launcher. any idea about the lights? I have a feeling it's a reaper issue and not a playtime bug. If reaper is closed and the launch pad is left plugged into the laptop it goes into some sort of screensaver mode and all the lights are working.

I tried Playtime with Maschine JAM and it works fine.
Maschine software only record pattern changes and don't record control data like knob tweeks.
It can record control data only on pattern mode.
So I switched REAPER and Playtime.
Now I can record knob tweeks and pattern changes at the same time.

I've got the launch pad mini to light up now. For some reason the master track i/o would not permanently select the launch pad as the main midi out. I had to change the selection in playtime a few times and save the project again. This seemed to work for some reason.
I have also changed the power setting on the launch pad from low to full. This may have helped.
Now I'm piecing together my live set, with reaper, playtime, novation circuit and a nektar p1.

Here's the issue tracker https://bitbucket.org/helgoboss/play...ew&status=open
and there was an update in August

Changes:
#329 Added custom undo system within Playtime in order to support undo/redo without playback interruption and clip chaos (see the new undo/redo buttons in the toolbar)
#305 Added support for more Launchpad Pro buttons: record arm, track select, mute, solo, stop clip, duplicate, double, quantize, undo/redo (double, quantize and undo/redo are also available within the Playtime UI)
#325 Improved clip recording by omitting number suffix from first recorded clip
#327 Improved usability by automatically zooming MIDI editor to content when opening MIDI clip (known issue: if there are only notes of one pitch in the clip it doesn't work, seems to be a bug in the REAPER action 40466)
#326 Improved usability by automatically stowing away clips on load (that makes pressing the 'Leave edit mode' button unnecessary after opening a project which has been saved while clips where still playing)
#324 Improved usability by automatically hiding MIDI triggers when selecting a grid controller (something like the Launchpad)
#287 Improved audio performance by reducing mutex locking
#321 Improved UI performance by reducing main thread load
#320 Fixed serious REAPER UI slowdown on big projects if Playtime is among the last tracks
#319 Fixed recording on tracks containing special characters such as '<'
#330 Fixed crash when deleting group or scene while docked
Feedback about bugs very much appreciated, especially critical ones. Thanks!

BUG
After trying Playtime plugin I am now unable to change visibility of items in Track List (in the MIDI editor). All eye and lock icons in the track list are grayed out and clicking them does nothing.
Any way to fix the configuration changes Playtime has made?

Does anyone know if Maschine Jam can be used with Playtime? And get realtime light feedback, like the Launchpad? It seems like this would work really well, in general.
Thanks guys!

copying playtime session from project to project
I have been setting up my playtime live sessions for each preformed song on their own project tab, which was ok till I got to project 11/12 then the tabs started to hide and become hard to access. I decided to try to consolidate everything into one project using regions and tempo maps etc. per song. Everything from a project would copy over into the new one, but the "fills" or session spots to each part of playtime would be gone/empty.
Has anyone else had this happen? or know how to get around it? I would really like to not start over on each one of my tracks breaking them apart...lol

It's compatible.
1.Assign clips to the pads with MIDI Learn.
2.Click "Settings".
3.Navigate to the 2nd page of the detail view by clicking the right arrow.
4.Right click Connected controller -> Generate controller template.
5.Edtit the light params of the template and save template to Playtime/Controllers.
Done.

Thank you, I half-figured it out.. what do I have to change in the script text? How exactly do I set up the lights? What should my Template be set to, in the NI Controller Editor for Maschine Jam?
Any additional details are greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I sort of figured it out. Controller Editor Template-- make all the grid buttons LED states as "For MIDI In" and "Indexed". Then, look at one of the other Playtime Controller scripts (such as Launchpad MK2). Copy the "lights" section to the script (using a text editor such as Notepad++), save as "Maschine Jam.json" and it mostly works. The Controller Editor manual shows the Index #s for the Color Codes, so you can set Playtime's colors to whatever you want.
The only thing I cannot figure out however, is how to get FLASHING LEDs for the buttons on Maschine Jam. Supposedly it's supported with Controller Editor, but I haven't had any luck. The dim color codes work fine, and the bright color codes work fine. The dim flashing/bright flashing do not do anything on Maschine Jam.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

Envelope Issue
Hello, just purchased & getting acquainted with Playtime....has anyone come across an issue where the volume envelope of a recorded clip has been automatically automated to slowly fade out over the course of the clip?
Is there a way to count in before recording so that there's no empty lead time in the loops? Or if there's a way to remove the lead silence without messing with Playtime?
THX D

Remove record button?
Hello all, I have a question that maybe someone would be able to answer.
I would love to be able to use playtime as a cuelist to layer sounds in the following sense:
Example:
group 1 start a clip using the Scenes 1 column.
then
group 2 start a clip using the Scenes 2 colimn, group 1 CONTINUES playing
then
group 1 start a clip using the Scenes 3 column, the clip previsouly playing in group one stops and the new one starts.
In Ableton this would be done by removing the stop button on the cells below a clip to allow it to continue playing as the scenes are triggered.
Is something like this possible in Playtime?
Thank you!

purchased yesterday after a long period of lurking.
Got it running now.
Makes a lot of fun with a launchpad pro.
Is it possible to have it be coloured as the tracks are?
Would be more organized imo.
Also the knobs that are not supported now shoud be (quantize, delete, duplicate....).

Don't worry!
You can right click and insert groups right or left.
You can right click and insert scenes above or below.
Can't see a "duplicate scene" option, which is a bit of a pity.
Don't know what the absolute maximums are here, but I suspect it's way beyond what would be downright silly.
Just made a 31 group x 43 scenes grid, 1333 clips on screen, and yeah, it's getting beyond silly!

Thanks a Mill Folkdisco! I was clicking on the wrong place apparently!
Nice, I just added a bunch of ezdrummer midi loops to easily choose from, as well asrecorded a bunch of short audio loops.
This rules for this addon Helgoboss!

Launch buttons (launchpad as smartphone app alternative) working great!
Just wanted to share that since the launchpad control surface is compatible with Playtime, so is the app "Launch Buttons" which emulates the launchpad surface in a smartphone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...launchbuttonsF
I've tested it on android only and works pretty darn well.
Cheers
