Playtime 2 (Beta)

A session view for live looping in REAPER.

Playtime 2, the new version to most advanced session view extension for REAPER, has just been released in public beta!

A session view is a way to visualize, trigger and record musical loop sections. It is a very popular feature in electronic music, and some DAW have made these their strong selling point, like Ableton Live. Unfortunately, there is no native Session View in REAPER… But you can now have a extension for this!

Playtime 1 has been around since years, but it needed to be remade from the ground up, to have more solid foundations for scaling up properly, with more features and nicer UI. It took months if not years to its developper, helogoboss, but it is now ready for public beta.

It’s pretty hard to cover all the feature of Playtime 2, and how it interact with the other famous extension ReaLearn 2, made by helgoboss as well. Fortunately, the documentation is quite good, thanks to video tutorials made by the dev himself.

Demo of the first beta of Playtime 2.

The software is currently in open beta (with free trial as far I know). I usually avoid promoting resources in beta, but as there is a fundraising with this one (currently sold at 64€), I think it was a good time to promote it and help support the author. Also, he his looking for feedbacks, so don’t hesitate to discuss with him on the Cockos forum, he is very responsive.

You can find all the info about Playtime 2 the dedicated web page on helgoboss website, linked below! Note that Playtime can be shipped with Reaboot, a quick and easy installer for REAPER, made by helgoboss as well (this might deserved an article at some point. 😉).

Happy Looping! 🎤
