v5.02pre1 - August 31 2015
+ API: GetSetMediaTrackInfo() and related functions support P_MCP_LAYOUT and P_TCP_LAYOUT (get/set track layout names)
+ API: added GetMediaSourceParent()
+ API: added IsProjectDirty()
+ Audio Units: better handling of plug-ins with variable channel counts, reinitialize when track channel counts change
+ Preferences: fixed option 'Show splash screen on startup' being ignored in certain instances
+ ReaScript: sanity checks for Undo_BeginBlock/Undo_EndBlock and PreventUIRefresh
+ SoundTouch: allow stretch rates up to 1000x
+ SoundTouch: updated to 1.9.0
+ Track manager: better selection state tracking when reordering tracks
+ Track manager: fixed auto-scroll when adding tracks on Windows [p=1533564]
+ Track manager: fixed scroll issues with reordered columns on OSX [p=1564036]
+ Track manager: prevent flashing selection state when reordering tracks
+ Track manager: support sorting by custom track color
+ VCA: fixed reset of master envelope when applying single-point volume envelopes to slaves
+ VST3: convert MIDI channel pressure messages to VST3 aftertouch
# API: PreventUIRefresh() supports track layout updates
# MIDI editor: prevent truncating events when using list view and the enclosing media item does not include all midi source data (reverts 61cd09c0)
Cool! I wonder if this can great some PaulStretch like goodness?
Nope. SoundTouch uses a different kind of algorithm than PaulStretch and won't sound the same. (Incidentally I've done some work with the PaulStretch code lately and might release something for Reaper that uses that, will have to see...)

Could we get the vertical zoom to preserve the relative heights of tracks?
It's been cropping up lately in a few threads and even if it's not a bug as such, it surely feels like one since at the moment they all reset their vertical sizes when zoomed.
And it makes the re-sizing tracks individually pretty useless really :/

I'd be up for trying that out for sure!

I was looking through their site for update details and noticed they have the parameter for "rate" which is purely samplerate based.
i.e. tape like varispeed.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we have this in reaper!
Even if it means we have to blank out the peak file because it can't update it at the same time I wouldn't mind.
We have tools by Xenakios for this but to have it in real time on multiple tracks would be insanely useful for any type of work.
It's the last thing we can't do in reaper sound design wise but it's the most useful type of pitch bend for media work

SoundTouch has always sounded like poo to me... how would this be different from unchecking the preserve pitch option on the item and changing the item rate envelope?

Hmm, you realize that if you turn off "preserve pitch when changing rate", you can change the rate per-item (or via stretch markers) and it's like tape mode? This has been in there forever.
Having said that , if you want it to smoothly transition the rate, that's another story, but SoundTouch doesn't really help you there either... but there might be some stretch marker related stuff coming there, maybe.

Decided to leave the installer to see how long it would take to actually start, and hour and 20 minutes later it still hasn't started to install, so i guess that isn't fixed

You can almost do the per-item varispeed thing with a bunch of stretch markers and disabling preserve pitch. We're playing with some ideas here.
Indeed. that's a good trick but the main thing is it's instantaneous and has no "slew" rate.
If you also had a box in item properties that allow you in milliseconds to slow this down that would help.
Ideally though you'd want to be able to change that rate via a variable envelope line or a "knob" at every stretch marker (like the item volume knob) when preserve rate is unticked

Really glad to hear that! It really is one the only sound design areas missing now that we have fx envelopes on items too now.
I use the "preserve rate" off all the time, just a shame it reacts instantly.
I replied to Schwa with a suggestion above (having a tiny "slew knob" at the top of every stretch marker) but I'm sure you probably have a better idea!

I'm going to go absolutely insane if I don't get a more detailed explanation here
translation: what does this mean?
It's some internal sauce that prevents ReaScripts from breaking some undo functions and UI refresh, or leave things in an undesired state, e.g. Undo_BeginBlock() without Undo_EndBlock(), compilation error occurring in the middle of PreventUIRefresh(1)/PreventUIRefresh(-1), etc

didnt you get it from the other thread that this is no Reaper issue but an issue of your Windows OS? move the installer to another partition than C:\, stop your antivirus and you are good to go.
installed the new version of Reper within 5 seconds. ok, 7, I had to put in the path.
Another way to do rate based pitch bend (using stretch markers rather than an envelope) could be to have a diagonal line represent "rate of change from the top of the 1st marker to bottom of the next marker.
If left straight this would be a linear rate change over the time from one marker to the other but if you curved it (just like fades can be) then the pitch rate could be more exponential or linear between each marker which would still use stretch markers but give a quick way to get most pitch effects people might want without worrying too much about the wave file visually matching up still since it will but only at every marker point.
Not the best idea but just so excited that this might happen I want to throw any ideas I get at it!

Now, Soundtouch makes Reaper crash instantly when applied on files that have more than 16 channels.
Works before 5.02pre1 or with other algorithms.
Tested only in Windows x64.
there was mention of it now "syncing" multichannel in I think this version on their site.
That could be it.
I'm just hoping they haven't done too much work on it as the algorithm is actually the best we have found for timestretching "cyclic" sounds cleanly

I suggested this [using stretch markers as a rate envelope] a while ago, not that it matters, but OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT THIS SO BAD. It would improve my workflow so good.

It is actually nothing to do with Reaper, it is an installer issue, I don't really need your help installing, first the installer was nowhere near C:\ and i already have a method for installing, i was just doing a test to see how long it would take, I don't even actually use v5 because nothing in 5 warrants me buying a new licence, but i still install v5 betas to test.

Where the installer is located is irrelevant. The problem comes from windows defender/microsoft security essentials trying to find out if the installer is safe and gets stuck in the process.
The only real solutions is to launch the installer though CMD/Powershell or by adding the folder where the installer is to a windows defender exclusion zone. You can also disable windows defender/mse if necessary.
Now very few installers have this problem. But there is a work around so whatever.
