    • Record
    • Position & measures
    • Time signature & BPM
    • Tap Tempo

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.

Your look

See the state. Set the style.

Separate icons and colours for on and off states, editable titles and text sizes. The deck reads exactly the way you want at a glance.

  • REAPER icons load in automatically, toolbar and track icons, no setup.
  • Bring your own PNGs, custom icons for any key. Or use the Music Production Icon Pack.
  • Tune every detail, active colours, icon size, titles.
Record and mute keys shown inactive and active, with custom active colours applied.

Plugin settings for text and size: show title, text colour, icon size and active colour.
Per-key text, size and colour

Plugins & FX

Search plugins and FX chains.

Find REAPER's included Cockos effects, third-party VST plugins and your saved FX chains in the actual Effects inspector, and drop them straight onto a key.

Two Stream Deck inspector panels side by side: one searching VST plugins, the other searching saved FX chains for a vocal chain, with title and styling settings below.
