Synth's consolidated FR thread - Part I
-----------------------------------------
- Save project (project file only or complete with the media files) as a (7-)zipped RPP (.RPZ) file.
- ASIO underrun counter / indicator
- Fixed value adjustment of the volume faders in the TCP/MCP with the mousewheel by steps of 1, 0.1 or 0.01 [% or dB] (depending on the modifier key).The current behavior is weird: quasi-logarithmic with odd values and less precision as the values get higher
- Sample-level wave editing (pencil tool) for cleaning up pops/crackles/clicks (as seen in Sound Forge)
- Adjustable
width for the VU Meters (as in Sound Forge)
- VU Meters to display valleys (as in Sound Forge)
- Peak Hold feature for the VU Meters (sticky peaks)
- Add a RECORD button to the MIDI editor transport
-
Fully automatic ghost notes / ghost channels view in the MIDI editor (as in Podium, Temper and FL Studio)
- Ignore mousewheel on faders unless used with a modifier key - add an option to adjust a fader under the mouse cursor with the mousewheel only when a modifier key is pressed
- A menu with GM/GM2/GS/XG presets for easy selection of instruments when using the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth or other (WDM) softsynths
- MIDI randomize (humanize) and groove templates
- Total project length displayed in the transport panel (very useful)
- X/Y controllers for simultaneous control of multiple parameters (as seen in KORG Kaoss Pad / Samplitude / FL Studio)
- Continuous scroll: during playback, the cursor stays centered while the tracks are scrolling in the background.
- Better display of MIDI notes/events in the MIDI editor (with a thicker and rounded border around the events) as in the latest version of ACID Pro
- Option to reset faders to zero with a middle click, instead of doubleclick and to disable the doubleclick reset completely
- Ability to place the
the MIDI editor transport panel on top
- An option to adjust the meter scales for smaller steps (higher density): 3dB steps, 1dB steps or nonlinear/logarithmic
- Ability to auto-color new tracks with a predefined cyclable rainbow color pattern as in other audio apps
- Ability to color the peak meters of every track differently based on a cyclable color pattern
- (Native) removal of DC offset for audio items
- Statistics for media items (DC offset value,max/min. peak value max./min. RMS,etc.) accessible via the right-click context menu
- K-Metering and LUFS metering
- Score (notation) editor
- Ability to
minimize the MIDI editors and other windows (docking is not an option if you need more screen space)
- Visual Metronome with flashing LEDs as beat indicators
- The typing keyboard keys should ALWAYS be enabled and mapped to the the Virtual MIDI keyboard (even when the virtual keyboard window is closed / hidden),so REAPER would always be ready for VSTi testing. Just take a look at the perfect implementation in FL Studio,for example
- The other keys (numpad keys,function keys,Ctrl/Shift/Alt,etc.) should also be usable for MIDI editing while the Virtual KB is active / enabled (as in FL Studio)
- The mousewheel should control the velocity or other assigned parameter(s) in realtime while playing the virtual/typing keyboard. This way velocity-sensitive keys can finally be simulated with a typing keyboard (imagine that on a laptop !)
- 'Split Voice' mode for the the virtual (and typing) keyboard: The upper octave keys (Q to I) could be used to play one synth and the lower one (Z to ,) for another synth. Great for quick composing with a laptop
- Multi-level (multiple stacked keyboards) virtual MIDI keyboard with realtime visualization (feedback) of notes being played
- Custom (free) mapping of drum hits and notes to the typing keyboard (live mode)
- Virtual (draggable/graphical) CC wheels/joystick on the right side of the Virtual MIDI keyboard for controlling parameters with the mouse
- Use all keys of the typing keyboard for virtual keyboard MIDI input. Extra keys (, . / [ ] \) should be used for octave overlap as in FL Studio
- Draw a separation line between the waveforms for stereo and multichannel audio items
- Custom color for grid rows in the MIDI editor Piano Roll (as in Temper)
- Media Item Pool with drag'n'drop to the arrange window (as in Samplitude)
- Intelligent loop regions with user settable repeat count (repeat x times then exit the loop and continue playing)
- Incremental Save / Save as new version - a simple auto-rename feature for manual saves [e.g. ReaLlama
_1.RPP,ReaLlama
_2.RPP,ReaLlama
_3.RPP,etc.]
- Project (song) position
slider in the transport panel (as in Samplitude, FL Studio or any media player: Winamp/Foobar/etc.)
- Ability to select notes,edit note parameters & add/delete notes from within the CC lanes (as in FL Studio)
- Adjustable pitch bend (CC) range. The default range is too small.
- Ability to export parts of a project (a single item or a track) and import it into another one together with its dependencies)
- Append another .RPP project to an existing .RPP project/merge projects
- MIDI editor: Automatically move the loop point cursor to the next measure (or beat) [not to the end of the last note]. The current behavior is extremely annoying!
- Support for playing/loading SoundFonts
- Fix for the MIDI editor: do not display/allow anything before beat 1.0.00 (!)
- Alternate shading for each odd/even bar in the Piano Roll (as in FL Studio)
- Restrict the track volume/pan
knob adjustment to one mouse axis - up/down or left/right only (not right & up / left & down at the same time) for better control (it's way too fiddly right now).
- Freehand MIDI CC event drawing as in Reason and Samplitude
- More editing tools in the MIDI editor: strum,flam,arp,etc. (as in FL Studio)
- Selection tools for MIDI editing: invert,reverse,scale,etc. (as in FL Studio)
- Adjust the project tempo (BPM) in the transport bar with a mouse drag
- Visual animation (feedback) of the played notes (on the testing keyboard in the Piano Roll editor) during song playback
- 'Replace FX' option in the FX window
- Pattern based step sequencer for creating drum parts (as in FL Studio)
- Fret Roll - a modified piano roll for guitar players
- Step-based trancegate
- Advanced arpeggiator with chord mode (JS_MIDI_Arp is way too simple and not native)
- Audio & MIDI chopper effect
- Non-linear arranging & sequencing with session / playlist mode (as in Ableton Live and FL Studio)
- A textbox to type in volume levels manually with the typing keyboard (as in Samplitude) This *was* possible in older versions of REAPER
- A MIDI softsynth/wrapper that uses DLS soundbanks (as in Acid Pro and FL Studio)
- Better GUI for the JS plugins
- Oversampling of plugins
- MIDI polyphony counter as in FL Studio
- Display the track icons on the left side (before the TCP track controls)
- Auto-sort overlapped items when in FIP mode
- Hide the transport+status bar in the Piano Roll editor
- Remove/hide toolbars completely (including the MAIN toolbar)
- Option to hide the TCP completely (use the Mixer & arrange view only)
- Hide everything but the track icons in the TCP
- Edit (reorder and/or remove) the buttons in the transport bar
- Show the audio interface and/or mixing bitdepth in the menubar
- Tint the track (and item) backgrounds with different colors but leave all track label backgrounds WHITE for better readability
- Tint (color) the track icons based on the track/media items color
- Show MCP track volume faders on the right
- Set a track icon for the MASTER track
- Use the USB Gamepad buttons/axes
just for program shortcuts / actions. This means
it has to work with the 2 options (MIDI learn and Virtual keyboard control) disabled!
- Adjustable starting point for the per-item volume envelopes (start at 25%,50%,75%,etc instead of 0)
- Inverted versions of the already available vol. envelopes
- Per-item Pan envelopes (differently colored)
- Per-note (not master/global) pan in the MIDI editor CC lanes and/or as pan handles on notes (a standard feature in in most DAWs)
- Better & faster resampler (SoX/SRC)
- Winamp audio/DSP plugins support
- Wrapper for Buzz plugins
- Backwards playback and rendering (this would be awesome). Since audio scrubbing/jogging is already there,this could be implemented easily
- A good,complex all-purpose synth to replace ReaSynth
- A real drumsynth to replace ReaSynDR
- Improved ReaSamplomatic5000 with better envelope editing and more features
- Native Linux build
