Script for live backing tracks - click tracks, samples, etc
Hi there,
I have written a script to use Reaper as playback application for live performances. There are lot of scripts, plugins etc. around. Unfortunately none of them suited our requirements which are very basic or their behavior was not stable to use it as a live performance playback. The closest solution to our requirements is the Region Playlist out of the SWS Extensions. From time to time also this playlist skipped regions that were defined as loop. So the idea was to do something on myself and only use the Reaper native API. The current script is a first version I would say with many things that could be improved. But first tests show it works. It is not clear if it is „stable“. There were much too less tests on different machines, settings, operating systems. The idea behind the script The idea is to define several regions within the project in which each region will be played once (:single) or endless (:loop). An endless loop region could be quit by toggling the repeat button. After that the next region will be played. If a region is marked as a loop region, the repeat state of reaper is switched to on. Here is a complete „howto“ Installation
Preparing your live performance project
Running and using the script
To make it comfortable for a live session I have assigned midi keys to
Also I use for each song a project tab. So I can easily jump from song to song by the next / previous tab command. Things to improve (any help is kindly appreciated)
Also thanks to X-Raym as a source of inspiration for me first script. Below I have also attached a test project. Last edited by Ulli; 07-21-2021 at 01:55 PM. |
