Reaper ver. 945

Working:

Asynth
SFZ
Synth1
Crystal
Toxic
Kjaerhus Classic series

Partly working:

Wusikstation 2: randome sticking last note, otherwise working
GPO (Kontakt player): randome sticking last note, otherwise working
Augur: sticking notes, randome patch mix up

Not working:

MinimogueVA: freeze Reaper
Richman 2: freeze Reaper
Subduer: freeze Reaper
Triangle II: shutdown Reaper with abnormal condition when tweaking parameters, otherwise working

Should be noted that loading FXPs or FXBs is not working.
Should note also that the sticking notes problems, especially with GPO, is also present in the rendered output. So, in effect, GPO, Wusik and Augur are unuseable here.

Bear in mind that any VSTi that requires MIDI Clock information won't work at the moment. It's not yet implemented in REAPER.

Buzroom grancomp works fine, and also : Arcdev blitter, posihfopit eq, Mutagene 2warp delay, Tone2 Filterbank2, Bionic delay 1,2,
and Odo Dr-Fusion as a drum vsti...

But i still do NOT undesrtand the way midi recordings works : why, when i finished the recording, is there a window telling me if i want to keep about half a dozen of midi files (as i only recorded one single take), and why does everything does not show up.. ?

Me again..
List improved, Justin : hope it helps...
The testing has been very basic, as i still do not know very well how to record coplex midi stuff... So i tried it with a basic one measure beat running...

VST
OK : Sknote Mirror philter, Kjaherus classic delay.
NOT WORKING : bram supatrigga, mdsp LiveCut ;

VSTI :
OK = Odo DR-FUsion2, Ephonic Drumatic2, Xoxos Regula, Rgc audio Triangle, Minimogue VA ;

I suggest you try this project http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=682 for testing VSTs instead, as a single one measure beat doesn't tell much as to the stability of a plugin.

For instance, I can load Triangle II no problems, I can choose a patch and play it, but if I try to tweak the parameters while the song is playing, Reaper Crashes, hard.

I can load GPO no problems and have it plays, but only for a single instance; as soon as I add other instances to a project, I get missing notes on the start of some midi section and sticky notes at the ends.

All in the interest of helping get Reaper more functional and stable.

I've got:

All the digitalfishphones (Blockfish, Spitfish, Floorfish, endorphin) and Mr ray73 (a synthedit plugs, and it worked no problems? a first for my experience with Reaper) working allright.

I seem to have problems with the Jesusonic plugs thought, I tried the delay and chorus as a send effect and they behaved erratically on my test project (could be user error, anybody else can check?).

I confirm I have had a couple of crashes as you say with two knobs but I can't always reproduce it. See below screenshot. I have just been crashing on those two here.

The thing is IMHO, Reaper is really very sensitive regarding VSTi usage & tweaking. I can run most any VSTi here for a few days without any problem but then one minute later ANY VSTi can crash Reaper while tweaking any knob. I've had quite a few crashes already, always with different VSTi's and never under the same condition or reproducible.
Unfortunately

And I don't even try out heavy projects yet with Reaper. The biggest I had running was about 6-8 audio tracks (guitars & drums) and 2 or 3 VSTi's at the same time.

VST fx that have a "tempo" slider,such as the ones (Fruity xxxxx) included with FLStudio crash REAPER immediately after changing that slider.

funkster, this sums it up very well, Ive also found, adding FX during playback is not a good idea, I have one small project that locks up solid when I try to load my cakewalk compressor, (even with playback off), but opens and runs fine in other projects.
Perhaps reaper could use some kind of relief valve similar to Sonar's, whereby the audio engine shuts off when the load is too heavy, so as to avoid a crash....maybe...maybe not...

Insert > New Midi file
then Ctrl/alt/e to edit it (click to create notes).

There are some software keyboards out there - Google might find or watch this space...

REAPER crashes after pushing the 'Connect' button in MusicLab Drumtools PD. Which surely is a pity.

Default dr FUsion 2

I have been a bit quick in saying that Odo DrFusion2 was alright in Reaper (or maybe it is the new version with enhanced midi ?) :
yes, it works, but it slows everything a lot !
engaging / disabling the plugin takes more than 5 seconds, recording does not start immediatly...
Well, still not perfect !

edit : confirmed. Odo DrFusion makes Reaper be veeeeerrrrrry slow, and it crashed two times tonight.
It's such a pity, i love that drumsynth...

Default sadness/happiness

The very recent Arcdev H4xxor brand-new freebie slicer does not load wavefiles in Reaper...
sh_t !

Edit : I was wrong : not a reaper problem, but a localization issue due to different versions of the plugin.
It works fine now and everybody should give a look at it !

(But I must say that i'm amazed by the ability of Reaper to handle automation enveloppes of vsti & vst... i had great fun tonight with it)

Default stil in sampler testing

I started to use Cyber FREE, as Reaper has no built-in sampler.
This nice sampler loads fine, and i can drag & drop samples from media explorer, but most of the time, after 3 samples loaded, if i try to load another one, the host freezes and then crashes.
(I tried to find the error report file, but i cold not, i don't know where it is hidden), but when i rade the error report, i rade a line dealing with "drag / drop error"...

hmmm. strange. organized trio and native b4 won't work for me.

example:

-insert prerecorded midi keyboard track into a reaper track.

-insert organized trio or b4 as the vsti.

-get no playback. HOWEVER...

track plays back if i use a diff Vsti like mda piano or mr. ray instead. ALSO...

B4 WILL make sounds IF i play a key with the mouse... BUT NOT from track playback OR remote midi keyboard. i.e. b4 & trio do not recognize my midi in. the other vsti's do.

B4 works fine in standalone mode and also as it should in Nuendo.

any ideas?

--update. after much futzing, i now can get organized trio to work but only for playback, not live. B4, no way though.

Maybe it's time for the "rename the reaper.ini file" trick. That does seem to resolve inexplicable problems sometimes, but if not, you can just put it back as it was.

tired the reaper.ini rename. didn't work. will now try the suggested "move." (updated: it didn't work)

also noticed that live via external keys, i can record the .wav output of organized trio, but not the midi stream. very weird. again this is no problem in nuendo.

still nuthin' with the b4 unless i play the keys with the mouse.
