I have hard time getting the window to show more than 2 and half rows. Dragging it bigger, the squares just keep resizing bigger until I run out of the screen space? Occasionally when making it pretty small, I see glimpses of more but resizing bigger and it's gone again.

Make sure it's not too wide. I can see everything if I make it tall and less wide.

Thanks guys! good stuff here as usual.

Two comments/requests on the media explorer shortcut bar on the left.

-The new Shortcut column/button at the top to organise shortcuts by alphabetical order is a nightmare at the moment. It's so easy to wreck organised shortcuts by hitting it. I'm hoping we can have 3 modes for that button, both up and down sorting and user organisation. You might have done this now but I'm not going to risk testing it myself to see if you've done that already as I've already accidentally hit it twice and had to painfully reorganise it again.

-It might be me using a wacom but about 40% of the time if I click on a shortcut now, it sticks to my mouse and gets accidentally dragged around when not intended to be.

Default column order for databases reset on using a normal windows explorer shortcut

If you use the shortcuts menu at the side of media explorer to go to a non database folder (from a database folder originally) then the column order gets reset.

Just curious if you guys want feedback on the Super8, or if you already have a boat-load of features planned that aren't implemented yet?

For example:
Set stretch markers to largest transient near 1/8 note and quantize.
Sync to reaper bpm and align to metronome and/or sync reaper bpm to Super8 tempo so that metronome can follow.
Set tempo and length in advance (e.g. 2 measures) and allow count-in
Allow each pad to have a different loop length. Playhead progress bar for each loop.
Allow pads to be killed individually
Allow mouse triggering
Stop all pads at once (without Killing)

Some of these may already be there and I've just missed them...

Good stuff btw.

I'll make a demo video tomorrow, but if you view the source it has some comments explaining it, briefly.

Here are some videos from the development of it:

Super8 doesn't initialize with proper GUI height. Please define @gfx at 420 480 width/height for a good starter view.

I have "Move edit cursor ignoring snap" on my middle mouse button (I use it with "Jog Audio (loop-segment mode)" for default midlle-button drag).

With this pre, middle-clicking on a selected audio item is deselecting that audio item. It leaves it alone with Pre2, but deselects with Pre3.


Edit: no, it's TrackList_AdjustWindows(0) or UpdateArrange(0) in a script doing it.

Edit2: How do we get the audio peaks in a take to arrange according to Stretch Marker slope adjustments via SetTakeStretchMarkerSlope? I can see the slope responding, but the audio peaks stay frozen unless I adjust them in the arrange window with the mouse. UpdateArrange(0) doesn't seem to update them.

Edit3: It actually seems dependent on zoom level, close zoom disables the peak stretching update.

i've been having issues lately when new project tabs are opened, and old projects with "replace missing file" issues being loaded. the "replace missing file" screen appears offscreen (i'm assuming) because the program has not frozen -- the relevant screen is just inaccessible.

multimonitor setup, win8.1 x64.

also, very very funny to me that super8 gets introduced the week after i finished implementing an instance of mobius that loops REAPER by listening to a pair of hardwware outputs.

the more the merrier. (please make it loop midi also).

I haven't had time to check out Super8 but it sounds awesome. As someone who used MobiusVST (Echooplex clone) pretty extensively for years as a plugin looper here are some of the functions/features I found were most important and creatively useful:

-The first recording needs to define the loop length, other functions like Start/Stop recording, start/stop loop playback, mute track, solo track, reverse, double playrate/pitch, halve playrate/pitch then happen exactly in time regardless of when they are triggered in the cycle. To execute an action immediately double click it. (see LICEcap below from my 2010 FR on this)

-If a new recording extends beyond the length of the original loop it's length will become a multiple of the original. Needing to do this manually before hand reduces options for spontaneity.

-Supporting seperate functions for short and long presses really helps expand the usefulness of MIDI foot-controllers. For example I would use the short press of a button for start/stop recording and a long press to clear the recording (if I mess up).

-If you're playing any instrument, foot controllers are much better than other controller types, but having to map each looper track to unique MIDI triggers kinda sux. It's much better to use a generic function to start/stop recording on the selected track, and two more for navigating to the next/previous track. This easily allows full foot-control with 3 buttons instead of needing at least 8.

-Reverse audio is very cool. Doubling/halving the playrate is also very fun. Guitars can become mandolins or basses and because the loop becomes double or halve the original length it still remains in time.

-If Reaper's tempo is being set based on Super8's loop length hopefully it works better than what Reaper has now which often returns obviously wrong values, 20-30BPM for 80-120BPM for example.

-It would be really awesome if Super8 could (optionally) record any MIDI input to a hidden take. That way if we are using VSTi's, when we export the Super8 tracks to Reaper we still have the advantages of MIDI and can tighten/alter the original performance.

Some explanation: I made super8 for my own use, for an experimental live performance with audience interactivity (a theremin and mic+DL4) at an art opening. Unfortunately it appears nobody taped it, boo (I forgot to start my Zoom H1...).

Anyway: the nice thing here is that it's a script that anybody can go and edit to suit their needs. It is LGPL licensed, I will update the file with that, also I have the code on https://github.com/justinfrankel/super8.git (the export branch has what's in the installer).

So! People who want it to do something else, make a modified version! I find that the more I add to it, the less fun it is to use. I completely support and agree with almost all of the requests, but at the end of the day I personally will make something that *I* want to use. I encourage you all to do the same!

Tangent, not really related to this pre, feel free to ignore:

I suggested in this thread that it might be cool to have the "clean current project directory" functionality integrated with the media explorer.

E.g. you select "clean current project directory" and it pulls up the media explorer in a new 'cleanup' mode; the advantage being that you can preview the files before you remove them.

Thinking about it, it seems like it'd be more appropriate to add it to the project bay as a new tab: "project directory audio files" or something. Then you could have an option to show only those not being used, play them with the existing interface, and delete them as desired, etc. Adding filter wildcards and searchability and such could make the whole process easier.

Point being that it's rough when you have 100 unused files in the project directory and have to go to windows explorer to play through them to confirm that they are safe to remove.

Just a thought, since media explorer work was being done.

It seems that it allows the super8's buffers/samples it's recorded to be pasted straight into the arrange.

I might be wrong though but that's my assumption

As far as I know, the clean project directory ONLY lists files that aren't currently being used by the current project. So as long as you save each project in it's own folder and have the media copied over into it, you'll never delete a used file accidentally.

Occasionally my "Reaper Media" folder gets filled up. But that's only from projects which I never saved. Test it out on your system and see what I mean.

Thanks for the info, I think you are right. The syntax seems to be:

export_buffer_to_project(buf, len, nch, srate, track_idx, flags, tempo)

Here is a simple JSFX script that lets you insert a sine wave item by setting the sliders, and then clicking trigger 0:

Code:
desc:Sine wave item generator
slider1:-12.0<-72.0,24.0,0.1>Gain (dB)
slider2:440<20,20000,1>Frequency (Hz)
slider3:1000<10,10000>Length (ms)
slider4:0<0,1,1{Mono,Stereo}>Channel Mode
slider5:1<1,99,1>Track (#)

@slider

gain = 10^(0.05 * slider1);
dt = slider2 / srate;
len = floor(slider3 * 0.001 * srate);
nch = 1 + (slider4 >= 0.5);
track_idx = slider5 - 1;

@block

trigger & 1 ? (
  i = t = 0;
  loop(len,
    buf[i] = gain * sin(2*$pi * t);
    i += 1;

    nch == 2 ? (
      buf[i] = buf[i - 1];
      i += 1;
    );

    t += dt;
  );
  save = 1;
);

@gfx

save ? (
  save = 0;
  export_buffer_to_project(buf, len, nch, srate, track_idx, 0, tempo);
);

I switched away from my ASUS T100 touchscreen to my old C2D Thinkpad X60, because the T100 couldn't power my audio interface and charge the battery at the same time... but yeah, any thoughts on how to do that?

Yep.
Code:
flags |= 1<<16; // go to end of project
flags |= 2<<16; // use tempo
also, try:

flags |= 4; // stretch/loop to fit timesel
flags |= 8; // try to match tempo 1x 
// see InsertMedia API, flags 4-256 are of interest.

In Media Explorer, is-it possible to have some "smart folder", a little bit like FX browser's smart folder ?

Sorry, I have no idea, all the buttons in the main Reaper GUI, SWS, VST work with a single touch though so it's only the gfx stuff. The interesting thing is that a/my mousepad tap doesn't register as a click either in gfx. If that's true for everybody then at least it's something to work with.

Ahh I know why, thanks!

I'm not worried about deleting files used by the currently open project, I'm worried about deleting files that aren't used but which are valuable. These can include files that are in that directory for other reasons, or files that are used by other versions of the same project file in that directory, or files that you accidentally removed from the project, etc etc. And as you point out, if you're talking about the default recording path there may be valuable files accidentally left in there, and there are other scenarios as well.

After you've spent months on a track and there are 100's of leftover files in a directory, it's a bit nerve-wracking to wipe them all in one fell swoop, and reassuring to spin through them quickly to make sure they are actually trash.

Currently the only way I know of is to go the directory with the file browser and find them one by one and open them in a media player, which is cumbersome and seems silly given Reaper's capabilities. I'd love to pull open some kind of tab in the project bay that says "files in project dir" with an "unused" option checkbox, or more simply just says "ununsed media" and lets me go through them, deleting them right there in the UI as desired. Since all the UI pieces and the functionality already exists in reaper, it seemed like an easy enough thing to implement.

But if I'm the only one that feels the need to sometimes listen to things before removing them, no need to beg for developer time on the issue.
