REAPER has always been lacking in the non-linear loop-based music creation tool category. A session view like in Ableton Live has been requested many times over the years. One user, Benjamin Klum figured out a way to built a similar functionality for REAPER in a new REAPER-only VST called Playtime. Playtime is available now for Windows and OSX.
I have an interview with the creator Ben coming up in a few days.
Find out more about Playtime.

Can’t wait to get this! Hope the Mac version is out soon! High praise to the developers. Loops absolutely need this type of interface. Thanks! Mac version soon please!!

I was wondering will it automap to controllers such as the akai APC and this is the real front line of live these days…also wondering will reaper have this new auto mapping technology updated if they haven’t already and I just don’t know
I don’t know for sure. Probably not automatically. I had a quick look at the APC40 faq and saw this:
You can use ReaControlMIDI to see which CC or Note numbers are output by the APC.
