Capabilities

Everything REAPER, on your keys.

Live Control groups the essentials of your session into four focused areas.

Transport with live feedback

Play, Stop, Pause and Record keys light up to match REAPER's actual state. Song position, measure, beat, time signature and BPM are always on display, with Tap Tempo one press away.

  • Play / Stop / Pause
  • Record
  • Position & measures
  • Time signature & BPM
  • Tap Tempo

Mixing & track control

Volume and pan controls, track banking, and Mute / Solo / Record Arm that reflect the real state of your tracks in REAPER.

  • Volume
  • Pan
  • Track banking
  • Mute / Solo / Arm

Actions & scripts

Search the full REAPER Action List and assign any action, Custom Action or registered script directly to a key.

  • Action List search
  • Custom Actions
  • Registered scripts

Effortless setup

Live Control finds standard and portable REAPER installations automatically and runs on Windows and macOS. One shared connection powers every key.

Action List

Stop memorizing shortcuts.

REAPER has thousands of actions. Instead of building huge collections of keyboard shortcuts, search the full Action List directly from your Stream Deck and put any command on a key.

  • Search everything, by name, Command ID or shortcut.
  • Your Custom Actions, assign the workflows you have built yourself.
  • Registered scripts, reach your installed ReaScripts and extensions instantly.

Live Feedback

The keys know what REAPER is doing.

Every key mirrors the real current state inside REAPER, updated live through the built-in web interface.

Mute, Solo and Record Arm light up exactly as they are set on each track in REAPER.
