I like how Ableton brought a breath of fresh air into traditional DAWs. If you use Reaper, but want it to be more like Ableton there is Playtime[1]. From what I understand it is currently rewritten in Rust with a new release expected in 2024.

Interesting, thanks for posting. I was looking for something similar although aimed primarily at drum patterns programming and later arranging them into a song, not unlike the older drum machines allowed, but more modern with visual representation of patterns as objects on screen and the ability to create variations just by cloning them for example by drag&drop then applying the needed changes, then link them together. This could be also used live, possibly creating different paths according to MIDI signals from external devices (pads? - pedalboard?) for example to choose to continue a song for a few more bars, or a different ending, a song variation based on the audience mood, etc.
