Is there any ReaScript API for this ?

It is used when you play your keyboard, but don't like to record. So it can be used both while playing and stopped. The actions allow to get MIDI (audio in the future, I hope) from "clipboard".

Typo in context menu? says (worst-cast)...

Code:

Display CPU utilization as 1.0! = longest-block is realtime (worst-cast)

Win10_x64

The sorting in preformance meter looks like running in the opposite way

Thanks! Works well.

Actually there are two actions. One is for receiving last played MIDI and the other one is to get everything from the beginning.

it still doesn't work
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=270195

the problem is not solved.
On Mac, you have to lengthen the right edge of the window very very to the right with the mouse, so that the custom actions window is longer than the screen, to be able to read certain actions in full.
On Windows, this is not even possible.

Dimson · 09-04-2022, 04:05 AM

If it's not difficult, fix a small problem in the next release, in windows 11 it incorrectly displays the memory status in the lower status bar.

Here is another doubleclick situation for Linux:

When you double-click right to enter note name, the "Select All / Copy / Paste" menu pops up.
You have to click a 3rd time next to it to enter the note name.

+ Region render matrix: support selecting regions (for rendering selected regions) via click on region number or context menu

While this is in focus and in development - any chance for API get/set actions for region+marker selection?
It came up here, as well as here.

The current solution is very hacky and unreliable (using JS_ReaScriptAPI to get the region manager window's list items by index and select/deselect them - but it requires waiting for the window to load, and acts a bit differently in windows vs mac, so it's just a very bad way of doing this).

An API function will be very helpful.

Yep, it was for some releases in dev builds.

Any chance that the support for CLAP plugins will be reintroduced?

What do you mean? It's still in dev builds (old and future).

mccrabney · 09-04-2022, 12:07 PM

so great to see retroactive record getting officially released. does this rc contain any updated retroactive record behavior vs the most recent pres?

Somethings when south on my end then, when 667 rc1 was installed all my Clap plugs disappeared. More troubleshooting in my immediate future.
Glad to hear its not being done away with.

Because RC is Release Candidate, not dev build. You should install dev build and you'll see them again.

Geeeez another one of those days seems to be happening a lot more often.

Thanks Vitalker for the cold water splash in the face.
Ok I'm awake now!
Have a great day

Confirmed but not related to this release, v6.66 & v5.99 do the same.

Am I going crazy or are the MIDI I/O options for JSFX now missing? The options for MIDI passthrough/merge/disable/etc.

Iirc the MIDI routing options were never present for JSFX, were they?
