I think this is an appropriate place to put this, as it IS directly MIDI related.
Track Envelopes - add MIDI Learn, PM and UI boxes
http://forum.cockos.com/project.php?issueid=4740

I'm surprised this isn't already IN Reaper. I see there's been requests for this for years now. Using actions is ... not ideal, to say the least.

No, they can't. They might display values like that, but they can't send (nor receive) values > 127, because MIDI standard simply doesn't allow this. If your other device shows a value of 128, the lowest value probably is 1 (not 0).

Default Midi CC Replace record mode

Hi, here is a request to add a new mode\or parameter to allow us to record midi cc in replace without erasing note.
For example: record midi note and then midi c.c in loop without erasing the note but just the C.C
Cause now: Replace mode erase midi note when touch the modweel for example.
And in overdub the midi C.C get add on the top of each other.

I find it strange that we're getting stuff like Notation on the way, when basic channel editing is still languishing compared to sequencers that I used in Atari days.

http://forum.cockos.com/project.php?issueid=978

The ones that stick out majorly:
+ no more sequential identical values when drawing in the controller channel editor.
+ allow the line tool to DRAW controller values (see Issue 838, here, for more pics); and whilst drawing a) Erase underlying values, b) Change density of data depending on 0-127 resolution avoiding build up of sequential identical data

I've moved to using ReaMIDIControl, but it's fiddly and not as integrated as the Midi Editor view. Also, I can't record into these envelopes (I think? I could be wrong here...)

It looks as if the integration of midi hardware is not in the focus of the majority of the reaper community and therefore also in the scope of the devs.

Bug reports regarding these topics are mostly ignored, questions are not answered in the community, and some days ago I found that one (at least for me) of the mostly annoying bugs regarding midi (always send spp when sending midi clock) was there (and of course notified) from the very beginning of midi in reaper.

We should be able to decrease the width of left-side piano roll graphic, to gain more space.


Load Scales dialog does not remember last visited folder. I don't want it to look in REAPER Resources/Data, I created my own folder, REAPER Resources/Scales, that I want it to look into.

Things that I'd like so far as I dig a little deeper into the midi capabilities of Reaper.

Using one midi track to fire 16 channels of midi to a software sampler is great, but these channels need to have the option for naming, selection, soloing and muting from inside the midi editor.

At the moment a midi filtering plugin has to be used. It works but this will streamline the process within one page.

We need a record button on the midi editor transport. Yes, there is a workaround, but I don't quite understand the logic behind omitting this.

I would like to be able to custom colour portions of the piano roll, to help identify more easily different types of samples on one midi channel, or key switches etc.


Grooves need to be built in, managed and organised from the midi editor. When a groove is loaded the grid lines should move to correspond the with position of the groove. This makes it easier to input midi via a mouse and be within groove without having to keep hitting Quantise.

I recall that was how cubase dealt with it.

Notes recorded in at the end of a looping midi part seem to create a note at the start of the bar if it overhangs the end. This needs a fix. A tad annoying to keep having to delete them.

That's about all I personally need to be happy at the moment.

(edit)..oh and a solo per key function...

It's probably the only thing standing in the way of Reaper's MIDI being perfect for me. Then again, I have very meager needs.

Default Midi export remembering last visited folder

Just a minor thing and I hope I'm not repeating anyone, but it would make more sense if exporting midi would remember the last folder saved in.
Every midi export, even within 1 session, resets the base folder resulting in having to browse to the desired folder each time.

I think the main source of MIDI FRs these days is the V5 MIDI bugs thread... I'll look out a link.

http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=181729

Some interesting and productive stuff in there.

Default Auto assignment of MIDI channels on SMF import

Please, auto-assignment of MIDI in and out channels for tracks when importing SMF's and exploding them to separate tracks.

Seems an utter waste of time to have to go and set them individually, when the channel metadata already tells Reaper what channel they should be on.

Sure, you can change them later if you want to, but why have all tracks with absolutely no in/out assignments as default?

Default Rename MIDI channels

I use different midi channels for different articulations.

Notes are colored by MIDI channel.

To change articulations I use custom keyboard shortcuts (Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3, etc) that set the channel of selected notes. Its fairly quick workflow.

The only problem is that I have to open VSTi to see what channel/color is mapped to which articulation.

Ability to (re)name MIDI channels would be really helpful for this.

Default Reversing polarity of relative Midi control message modes

I have an arturia beatstep that allows me to have relative modes set up on the knobs.
I have this set up to control plugins. The only combination of the arturia's relative modes and the relative modes in reaper that work in the correct direction require over 5 full knob rotations to get from minimum to maximum on any effect knobs.

There is a mode combination that works at the speed i need, but the direction of the knobs is the opposite to what i need.
If i turn the knob clockwise on the controller, it goes anti clockwise on the effect.

Is it possible to add a "reverse polarity" option ticker box when assigning midi control cc?
The other possible idea is allowing a -3+3, -5+5 and -10+10 increment option (i have no idea if this is even possible)
Thanks for your time 🙂

Default ReaControlMidi - Program text search box FR

I'd very much like to see a text search box, similar to those in the action item list, to make it faster to find a given program once a .ins or .ReaBank file is loaded.

I have a few synths that have over 700 different Programs, and currently have to do this by opening the file in a text editor and searching, with the inherent risk of accidental changes in the file content while it's open.

This would ideally be a simple substring search of the file contents, regardless of Bank location, and would (like the actions text filter) simply trim out any Program names that do not match from the displayed drop-down list.

Thanks to the Devs for all they do!

As I already reported here : https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...43&postcount=1

and already ask to add this ability in Reascript API, I also post here the fact that we couldn't get the real key signature.

An implementation of this MIDI stuff could really help : http://midi.teragonaudio.com/tech/midifile/key.htm

Default MIDI note channel tooltip

MIDI editor FR: There may be a script that does a tooltip displaying the MIDI channel of a note, but I can't find it. Even better would be a small indicator on the toolbar showing the channel of a selected note (though multiple channels would obv be a problem).

The 'note properties' window kind of works, but it can't be docked, it has information I don't need, and it's an awkward, large shape to keep on top.

As it is, I use the UK 'defence' industry wire colour code - Red, blue, green, yellow, white, black, brown, violet, orange, pink, turquoise, grey - but it only goes up to 12, then uses composites (eg red/blue, red/green, etc)

I've added an FR for adding new midi items in the midi editor.

Given that some of us use the ME almost entirely as our default workspace, particularly writing orchestral/film scores, it seems to be basic common sense to me to be able to stay in the one space, instead of swapping back and forth just to add new items.

Anyone else?

Alex.

As a heavy MIDI user, I wish the "track list" part received more love, as it has much potential. Although I use it every day, I still often misclick and lose my item/track selection...

I haven't used Studio One in a while (since version 2!) but I remember editing multiple items at the same time was very convenient and fluid, which is crucial when you constantly divide/move instruments parts. I often hear Cubase, Logic and even Digital Performer have good MIDI workflows too. What can we learn from those tools?

PS: in the first place, I think a real FR Tracker (like the deprecated Issue Tracker), with the possibility to vote, link duplicates, and follow request/development status would be a very good start.
I also think a better search engine for this forum could help (FR here, just in case).

Yes, but as usual, the reaper community does a pretty descent alternative with google.

The pass-through key is a essential feature for people who use a lot of the MIDI editor. Yet it's an obscure one, not easily accessible. I forget how to use it too.

The approach to assigning arrange window actions to the MIDI editor should be redesigned one day, because the "pass-through key" in its use and even in its name is something like only a 33th degree mason would know of, through a life-long search, and even then not mastering it completely.

Default Default Midi Editor Zoom Setting

When you open the midi editor for a new midi item, the default zoom level shows about 7 octaves of notes for me. I would love for it to be able to default to a zoom level of about 2 or 3 octaves. This way, I can edit instantly (instead of having to zoom in first because the notes are too vertically thin).

Edit:
I wrote this EEL script which pretty much accomplishes what I want:

Code:
item = GetSelectedMediaItem(0, 0);
take = GetActiveTake(item);
source = GetMediaItemTake_Source(take);
GetMediaSourceType(source, typebuf);
!strcmp(typebuf, "MIDI")? (
    Main_OnCommand(40153, 0); // Item: Open in built-in MIDI editor
    i = 128;
    while (i) (
        MIDIEditor_OnCommand(MIDIEditor_GetActive(), 40112); // View: Zoom out vertically
        i -= 1;
    );
    i = 25;
    while (i) (
        MIDIEditor_OnCommand(MIDIEditor_GetActive(), 40111); // View: Zoom in vertically
        i -= 1;
    );
    MIDIEditor_OnCommand(MIDIEditor_GetActive(), 40466); // Zoom to content
) :
(
    Main_OnCommand(40009, 0); // Show media item/take properties
);

Can we have more Ruler options for the MIDI editor? Timecode and clock time (H:M:S and just Seconds) would be super. It would make scoring to picture much easier. If this already exists, I apologize. I've been unable to find it anywhere.

Default Ruler Left drag bug

Also about the Ruler… There seems to be a bug with it. Left drag on the Midi Editor Ruler results in setting a new time selection\loop points, even though mouse modifier is set to No action.
I often create really short loop-selections when clicking (rather frantically) on the ruler, which results in glitching and even crashing of Reaper sometimes.

Left-dragging on the lines separating the CC lanes creates new time selection as well.
