Default MPL RS5k manager, basic Ableton DrumRack port

RS5k manager is a lua script for REAPER.
It provides manipulating samples sitting in the ReaSamplomatic5000 instances. It allows you to use it as super basic drum sampler, all the possibilities are based on standart REAPER features.



The structure of rs5k manager is:
- Parent. Contain macro JSFX, this is common audio bus for children tracks;
- Child. Regular child, you can write MIDI data here or on MIDI bus. All children receive MIDI from MIDI bus;
- Device. When you drop second layer to a device area, the script converts regular child to a device, so you can hold multiple layers on single pad (in REAPER it is a folder with childrens);
- MIDI bus, contains choke JSFX. This is a track sending MIDi to all childrens.


The script consist of multiple modules:

Macro
  • Allow to link multiple parameters to one knob, sitting at parent track

MIDI / OSC learn
  • Collect data about all mapings for FX sitting on child tracks

Pad overview
  • Quick jump for sample sections
DrumRack
  • Pads with ability to dragndrop to
Database map
  • Allow to attach predefined database to specific pad, this feature is ported from Atlas sampler
Children chain
  • Allow to edit volume and pan for childrens and set up to choke groups (including multiple groups per pad)
Device
  • You can use single pad with multiple layers with independent controls
Sampler
  • Contains some organized controls from RS5k instance



Requirements:
  • REAPER 6.69+ (not tested on earlier versions. MIDI Learn and linking require REAPER6.69+dev1027)
  • ReaPack 1.2.1+

Install:
  • run ActionList > ReaPack: Browse packages...
  • navigate and install (rightclick) RS5k manager and Various_functions packages, then click 'Apply'
  • run ActionList > ReaPack: Synchronize packages

Defining the note mapping with this script is far more easy than opening all R5K windows :P


Thanks for sharing !


(I think thsi script is the first to use drag and drgop from file GFX feature !)


For naming, so this one is in fact RS5K manager background, and you had RS5K manager (las v 1.26). Why this one is called background ?
I can see several difference between the two (the pattern mod for eg in the old script)... The new one is meant to replace the previous ? Or are they complementary ?

From v1.50 there were several serious changes in the code and structure (using external functions) so any version below 1.50 is 'obsolete'. 'Background' was added to some scripts to avoid confution for some guys talking they aren`t expect scripts tracking something in background. It was probably enough to change name only in description tag in ReaPack header.

my message was deleted? why? new thread? what's going on
anyway. i was asking (hopefully) is it real to add sample delay control to it?
and once again amazing work, gj!

You posted it on General Discussin thread.
Well, I can add control for JSFX: delay adjustment (it will require addition FX Chain per layer/key).

clicking "next/prev" caused laggy behavior here, i'll reproduce with more testing

i'm hoping to see more Global parameter controls added, like obey note off, loop, xfade, loop start offset, note off override, and note off override amount

is it possible for any of these global params to be learned to midi cc or osc?

@mpl
Hi ! Nice to see your scripts being promoted by reaperblog

Could the waveform display not be beyond knobs as shown in your screenshot ?
Having it on its own line would be more readable.

Also, the waveform lacks a bit of contrast IMHO, is the GUI themable somehow ?

At some point, being able to set custom colors schemes for each notes could be nice for people who have colored pads :P (it is not actually my case, but it can be a fancy feature which I imagie can be smooth)

Pad colors directly taken from track colors they are placed.

for all of these parameters, midi + and - incremental actionswould be ideal for this, like Lokesenna's "rs5k tuning control" scripts (https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=187569). ie, learnable "increase [attack] 1ms" and "decrease [attack] 1ms" so everything isn't so mouse-centered would be idea.
Hard to properly show different parameters on one knob. Don't think it will happen.

Expected. Start offset adjustment preserve length, limited to end. Loop end adjust loop length, limited to start.

FR: lasso select/bulk move samples. i'm really liking being able to reposition samples by dragging and dropping them, but being able to lasso/select more than 1 at a time would be excellent.

FR: give us the option to remove the "create midi send routing for this sample" prompt when we click the FX buton. i know what i'm doing and don't want to click the confirmation button every time.

Could you add the ability to use items in the arrange view for samples rather than having to drag items?

rsom allows one to "import from arrange". I'd like to do the same.

In fact, I have about 1000 audio items in the arrange view that I'd simply like to assign to a midi note for each item(in some specific order) and play them. I don't think having 1000's rsom is a good idea nor necessary for just playback though(but this might be the only way to get the audio in to the render engine?).

Not sure if the "manager" script can automate the import from arrange though? If so, that is better than nothing.

Basically I am trying to avoid having to render down each auto item to it's own item. I've already split and resized all the items, so everything is fine and available in reaper and I just need to associate each item with a midi note.


Thanks...

Ofcourse, thanks!


Is there any way to automate assignment?

Basically assign a matrix of items to notes in a specific order.

Essentially I have an nxm matrix of audio items that I'd like to assign to midi.

n <= 12 and m <= 10

basically I have them laid out like

a b c d e f

g h i j k l

m n o p q r


where the columns are suppose to be groups in the same midi octave(Doesn't matter which) and the rows are separate octaves.

e.g., the midi notes

1 12 24 36 ...
2 13 25 37 ...
...


I believe the scripts are written in lua and lua allows executing a string, so maybe one can enter in a mapping function(takes the ith item and returns a midi note value)?

mate this lua takes the take !!! fukin awesomeness into 1000....


so cool, I bet Justin and co. must be like hmmm why didn't we do that ? they should just pay you and integrate it into Reaper official builds hereon.

couple of small questions :

1. Why is the > arrow menu in the walkthrough so different from the one that I have. ?

and yes packs synchronized, latest Reaper.

2. My menu has no option for "pad clicking to MIDI" like in the video, so when I click on the pads, no preview.

3. Even if I have the multi layer option on, dragging and dropping a bunch of samples on the same pad does not velocity layer them .


thanks again mate !

It was updated multiple times since video was released.

I sorted most options, so what you need is
Code:
Menu/Key options/Send MIDI by clicking on keys
Also make sure you track is armed and monitored MIDI input (you can do it manually or also do/automate this from RS5k manager)

You mean veloсity layers in RS5k itself? I`m afraid it is not designed for such type of workflow.

Sorry, can`t do anything to that, I reduced CPU usage as much as I can. Probably in the future I build something more fast and responsive.

i think i have no problem causing more CPU usage, the problem that i have shown in the screenshots is the refresh rate of the UI like the refresh rate is so low that the Ui is becomes very hard to use

Default Drum Rack: Option to use white keys only

Is it possible to have only white keys (CDEFGAB) for notes used by Drum Rack?

Yes put a midi filter at the end of the fx chain that corresponds to thr note u would like to use.

Thanks. But I only want the white keys to be the only object on which the sound source is placed, to make playing easier.
