[Solved] I want "Retrigger" function on Reaper Action.

[NakajimaYusuke]

Hi,　I want "Retrigger" or "Duplicate blocker" function on Reaper Action.

As an example, many electronic drum modules have a feature called Retrigger.
When the module detects a drum shot twice, the module can ignore the second shot if the time between the first shot and the second shot is very close.

I want to apply something similar to this function on Reaper Action.
Is this kind of operation possible?

Because, I am troubled by double execution of reaper Action by mistaken operation of MIDI controller button.
I sometimes do live performances with Reaper and MIDI controllers.
I have assigned some Reaper Action to a button on a MIDI controller.
But, I sometimes accidentally press the button twice. I want to eliminate this mistake.

When I press the button twice quickly,
I want to execute a Reaper action only once instead of twice.

There are wait before next actions which you could use in a custom action of yours. First you'd have your real action you want to execute, then any of these wait actions after it.

Action: Wait 0.1 seconds before next action
Action: Wait 0.5 seconds before next action
Action: Wait 1 second before next action
etc.

Thank you for information. I tried it. But it did not work for my purposes.
"Wait 1 second before next action" just inserts a 1 second wait between the first and second action execution.
When I press the button twice quickly, the action has been executed twice with an interval of 1 second.


It would have worked if there is a "Ignore actions for 1 second" in place of the "Wait 1 second before next action" in custom action.

EDIT

Perhaps the meaning of "Retrigger" was misrepresented. Sorry for the lack of explanation.

"Retrigger function" is a wrong word. "Retrigger block function" is the exact word.
Retrigger is not a function to trigger again, It is a function to prevent the trigger again.

Darn, sorry...I understood your question and still managed to confuse myself while answering. What should work in this case is anti flam. Check this thread, where in post #2 IXix has a JS fx which you can insert into the MIDI track. You can set the MIDI channel, range of notes that are affected and the blocking time in milliseconds.

Thank you. solved!
I used this VST in combination with the MIDI_AntiFlam.

With MIDItoReaControlPath, Reaper Action could be executed with the MIDI signal processed by MIDI_AntiFlam.

And, I found another Retrigger canceler.
"Insert Piz Here midiDuplicateBlocker"

MIDI_AntiFlam seems to work only for MIDI notes.
"Insert Piz Here midiDuplicateBlocker" is also valid for CC!

Good to know, thanks Nakajima-san.
