hey all,
I just figured out how to use Reaper as a multi velocity drum replacer with several samples that are randomly switched between on each velocity layer.
https://stash.reaper.fm/oldsb/16401/R...gog-killer.zip
555kB containing an
example project + 1 new JS plug in: a MIDI velocity low pass and high pass filter.
this example project has four velocity layers with two samples on each layer (more velocity layers and/or samples per layer could easily be added if you'd like that).
before opening the project make sure you copy the "Jonas"-folder (containing the new MIDI velocity lphp-plug in) to ...\REAPER\Effects
how it works:
the drum that should be replaced is put on (or routed to) the trigger track. the fx on that track are:
* Reagate: to choose which hits to replace
* SStillwell/drumtrigger: to convert each hit to a midi note
* SStillwell/randomizer: to randomly switch between different notes on each hit
the resulting midi notes are then routed to four tracks within the snare folder: low vel, low mid vel, hi mid vel and high vel. (meaning low velocity layer ... high velocity layer.)
th fx on each of these tracks are:
* Jonas/velocity_lphp: to choose
by velocity which notes to let through and which to mute. only notes with a velocity above or equal to the high pass setting and below or equal to the low pass setting will be let through.
* ReaSamplOmatic5000: to play the first sample in this velocity layer.
* ReaSamplOmatic5000: to play the second sample in this velocity layer.
(the randomizer on the trigger track chooses which of these two samples to play.)
then I just set up the velocity_lphps like crossovers, that is: the the first velocity layer plays hits with a velocity between 0 and 47, the second between 48 and 64 and so on.
sounds kind of complicated but just load the example project (after first dumping the "Jonas"-folder into you Effects-folder as described above) and see and hear it in action.
usage hints:
* adjust the threshold and/or filter on the Reagate to choose which hits to replace (and which not to).
* raise the the wet fader in the Reagate (on the trigger track) until the hardest hit on the drum you want to replace is sent to the highest velocity layer.
* adjust the velocity "crossovers" to decide which sample layer to be played at which hit.
* probably more that I can't think of right now
ah, my first JS plug in...

PS1: the velocity_lphp seems to work just fine (is really just a modified version of the midi_velocitycontrol) but the usual "if my plug in fries your computer I'm not to blame"-disclaimer applies.

PS2: I kind of like having the different velocity layers on different track (makes it easy to adjust levels) but I'm thinking of a way to do all replacing on one track. that would make it possible to have a fx-chain that you could just load up on any track you want to replace... but I'll get back to that in a couple of days : DS
PS3: the idea to this came from this thread
