DirectLink for REAPER controller mapper 1.5

DirectLink for REAPER controller mapper, developed by Richard Hanson, is a flexible, lightweight control-surface solution that turns your MIDI or USB controller into an intuitive, hands-on interface for REAPER. It bridges your hardware and REAPER’s tracks, mixer, transport, and plug-ins with responsive, bidirectional communication, so you can work faster and focus on your sound—not your screen.

Key features:

• Fast, flexible mapping: Assign faders, knobs, encoders, pads, and buttons to transport, track controls, sends, and plug-in parameters in minutes.
• Context-aware control: Build layers and banks, create shift functions, and set per-track or per-plug-in focus for smart, musical workflows.
• Bidirectional feedback: Get LED states, parameter values, and motorized-fader updates on supported devices for confident, eyes-off operation.
• Smooth parameter handling: Choose relative or absolute modes, set scaling and acceleration, and use soft takeover to prevent value jumps.
• Deep REAPER integration: Trigger actions, navigate tracks and FX, arm/solo/mute, write automation, and more—all from your controller.
• Multi-device ready: Use multiple controllers at once and tailor each one with its own roles and layouts.
• Portable and sharable: Save, reuse, and share presets and project-specific mappings to standardize your setup across sessions.

Who it’s for:

• Producers, engineers, and sound designers who want tactile control without complex setup
• Live performers seeking reliable, low-latency hardware control of REAPER
• Power users who want a customizable mapping system that scales with their workflow

DirectLink for REAPER controller mapper gives you the feel of a dedicated control surface with the freedom to customize it your way.
