Use grid controllers
|
Grid controllers are optional!
You don’t need a Grid controller to use Playtime! However, using one adds a tactile dimension to the clip-launching experience, making Playtime feel more like a distinct musical instrument. It’s a fun way to enhance interaction and creativity.

If your Grid controller is on the list of supported devices, here’s how you set it up:
-
Ensure that Playtime is running and you see its User interface.
-
If the device is already connected to the USB port, disconnect it and wait a few seconds!
-
Connect the device to the USB port.
-
After waiting for a few seconds, Playtime should show a green success notice at the bottom of the screen.
After that, the device should visually reflect the contents of the Playtime Matrix and you should be able to control the matrix with it.
In addition, the device should now appear in the ReaLearn controllers section of the Settings dialog. This is also the place where you can manually set up the device in case it was not auto-detected.
Troubleshooting
If the device is not detected, please proceed as follows:
-
Execute REAPER action Helgobox/ReaLearn: Auto-detect controllers (with logging) and copy the output to the clipboard.
-
If the controller is not in the list of supported devices, create a feature request, naming your controller and including the copied info.
-
If the controller is in the list, write an email to info@helgoboss.org, naming your controller and including the copied info.
