.rpp

REAPER keeps whole sessions as plain text: tempo, tracks, volume, routing and items.

Loper is a free, minimal editor for macOS that opens REAPER project (.rpp) instantly and colors every part of the file, so you find the value you need at a glance and can fix it right there. No IDE, no project to load, no gray wall of text.
