Hello everyone, I’m Hosian Luo (Hosi Prod).
For years, REAPER has been unmatched in terms of customization and mixing power. However, for electronic musicians and live performers, it has often lacked one critical feature found in other DAWs like Ableton Live or Bitwig: A native, non-linear Session View.
Today, I am proud to release Session Player (Ultimate Edition) v3.2. This isn't just a simple sampler; it is a complete workflow overhaul written entirely in Lua, designed to turn REAPER into a live performance powerhouse.
The Concept: Live Arrangement Injection
Unlike VST-based session viewers that trap your audio inside a plugin, Session Player works directly with REAPER’s architecture. I call this "Live Arrangement Injection."
When you trigger a clip or a scene, the script doesn't just play audio; it actively writes MediaItems to your project timeline in real-time. This means your live jams are instantly recorded as a linear arrangement, ready for mixing and editing the moment you stop playing.
What’s New in Version 3.2?
This update is a massive leap forward in stability and feature set:
Dynamic Scene Management: You can now add, remove, and duplicate scenes instantly via the UI without diving into settings.
Intelligent Waveform & MIDI Visualization: I’ve optimized the rendering engine to include visibility culling (saving CPU) and added a mini Piano Roll view for MIDI clips.
Scene Follow Actions: Automate your performance. You can now set scenes to automatically trigger the "Next," "First," or "Stop" action after a set number of bars.
Advanced Live Looping: The new "Global Record" logic handles latency compensation perfectly, allowing you to capture loops on the fly and have them instantly quantized and playing back.
Visual Feedback: Clips now inherit track colors, pulse when playing, and flash when queued for recording.
Key Features
Grid-Based Launching: 8x32 Grid (expandable) with full quantization support (1/4, 1/8, 1 Bar, 4 Bars, etc.).
Drag & Drop Workflow: Drag audio or MIDI files directly from your computer or REAPER’s Media Explorer into any cell.
Performance Recording: Every move you make is recorded to the timeline as a standard arrangement.
Memory Optimization: The script automatically manages waveform caching to keep your RAM usage low during long sets.
Why I Built This
As a producer, I wanted the freedom to improvise without leaving the REAPER environment I love. I wanted to bridge the gap between "jamming" and "finishing a track." Session Player v3.2 is the result of that vision.
Whether you are sketching out an arrangement or performing a full set live, I hope this tool inspires you to create in new ways.
