Ok. So as of now, there are 2 ways of using a controller like push 2 with extended functionality and one in its simpler incarnation.

Being a 64 pad like this:

57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64
49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56
41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48
33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08

The simple one is using it as a regular controller. That means everything is mapped by default. For pad 01, reaper piano roll registers that note as C2. Just keep on going to the right till pad 08 and then, jump to pad 9 ina chromatic fashion. Just keep on going like this and you got all the notes.

Now, more elaborate ways are using either Shove or Transformator.

Shove uses 2 modes: Linear or drums. Both of them very useful
Linear means everything like the defaulf mapping. Pretty straightforward.
Drums maps it in 4 groups of 16 pads each. For the RS5K project I suggest an option to bring groups of pad as needed. Makes sense if you are only using 16 or 32 pads.

B:57 58 59 60-------D:61 62 63 64
--49 50 51 52---------53 54 55 56
--41 42 43 44---------45 46 47 48
--33 34 35 36---------37 38 39 40

A:25 26 27 28-------C:29 30 31 32
--17 18 19 20---------21 22 23 24
--09 10 11 12---------13 14 15 16
--01 02 03 04---------05 06 07 08

Blocks are chromatic Starting from the lower left corner to the right and then up a line. Ie: Block A Starts nore C2 on pad 01 and note 09 is E2 on reaper midi keyboard. Then continue in a chromatic fahion to block B, C and D.

Transformator is more advanced but does not include the drum mode. Only the linear mode.

Linear mode FTW!

I am attaching a pic of FXpansion gueist UI, that is, IMO, a good reference for this project. Notice the colors and some dots informing on the pad status and samples. Would love pads to be fully colored, tho.

PD. Maybe off topic but dunno if it is possible to have a script replace old 32 bit plugins for their 64 bit versions if possible and plugins found. Would make opening old projects soo much better, more stable and life happier.
