This sounds extremely interesting! Would it work for a retrospective record function?

Why not add a full list of usable project metadata when file metadata are already well implemented. They can then also be shown in the media explorer for rpp files.

Interesting! Can we also make these inverted output values work as linkable parameters via Parameter Modulation? (The non-inverted outputs do seem to work.)

EDIT: After playing with it more I think I misunderstood it. It looks like the inverted options is a switch? I.e. it doesn't output its own a discrete automation lane for inverted outputs in addition to non-inverted. Thus, the parameter available in parameter link/modulation is inverted or not based on this option...

If you mean X-Raym's, there's also Edgemeal's, which I usually use (Win only though).

Hmm, how it works? Is there an option to turn it on?

thommazk · 10-14-2021, 09:33 AM

As we had an update on ReaVerb, can I ask for a simple workflow feature?
It would be awesome if we could drag and drop a sound file from the media explorer and load it as an impulse response.

Even drag the file to the impulse path would be useful!

A lane should be added if you drag media from outside REAPER (or the media explorer) to a fixed-lane track, if the new media overlaps with media already on the track.

Why doesn't it work for other tracks, too? Well it is enough to drag media to the fixed-lane track, no need for add-lane area pointing, at least it worked here.

schwa · 10-14-2021, 09:54 AM

If you drag media onto existing media, you get a popup asking what you want to do. If you choose "insert a new media item that overlaps", if it's a fixed lane track, a new lane should be created for the new media (or the media should be placed in an available lane).

+ ReaScript: add MIDI_GetRecentInputEvent() for enumerating recent MIDI input events

Wow this seems good, if I get it right we can now acess the lastest MIDI messages in reascript!!? I need to try it !

In docs if anyone want to peek:

Code:

 
C: int MIDI_GetRecentInputEvent(int idx, char* bufOut, int* bufOut_sz, int* tsOut, int* devIdxOut)

EEL2: int MIDI_GetRecentInputEvent(int idx, #buf, int &ts, int &devIdx)

Lua: integer retval, string buf, number ts, number devIdx = reaper.MIDI_GetRecentInputEvent(integer idx)

Python: (Int retval, Int idx, String bufOut, Int bufOut_sz, Int tsOut, Int devIdxOut) = RPR_MIDI_GetRecentInputEvent(idx, bufOut, bufOut_sz, tsOut, devIdxOut)

Gets a recent MIDI input event from the global history. idx=0 for the most recent event, which also latches to the latest MIDI event state (to get a more recent list, calling with idx=0 is necessary). idx=1 next most recent event, returns a non-zero sequence number for the event, or zero if no more events. tsOut will be set to the timestamp in samples relative to the current position (0 is current, -48000 is one second ago, etc). devIdxOut will have the low 16 bits set to the input device index, and 0x10000 will be set if device was enabled only for control. Large SysEx events will not be included in this event list.

That would be nice.

Great, thanks Justin! That seems to fit everything I asked previously. Will implement it as soon as possible. The sequence seems total number of all available events + 0x40000000, right? Why 0x40000000?

daniellumertz · 10-14-2021, 11:10 AM

can someone help me how can I get MIDI info out of buf variable in reaper.MIDI_GetRecentInputEvent(0)??

As I understood buf contains the 3/2 bytes of a midi message,
is that right? if so how can I access it?

Looking at the variables list buf is normally "ø"

Thanks people, sorry the noob question

, and thanks for the function

The sequence number is an opaque value that is nonzero… don’t use it for anything else

(it is provided so that you can see what messages are new)

Also maybe actions to choose between these multipliers faster... pretty please?

And thanks devs, this was really needed.

Yes, I totally agree

AZpercussion · 10-14-2021, 12:36 PM

Yes, 0,5x and actions would be good.
But what if we could type any number in opposite to choose in drop-down menu? So, crazy guys could use 1.5x, 3x or 5x as example.

Hey Devs... This plugin is MASSIVELY useful. Specifically the "Output loudness values as automation" feature.

Is there a way to use it offline (at max CPU speed)? It would be great to apply it to an entire project (score) on certain instruments without having to "play it in" in real-time. The idea being able to invert it for volume control.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

It would not be a good idea if we could drag&drop the new media from media explorer on the track with bands ?
It would be faster and intuitive.

It would be great, too, if we could drag&drop a media from media explorer on the desired fixed track.

Agreed. That's more intuitive to have the same behavior while drugging from tracks or media explorer.

Something similar for last inserted/touched/edited midi event in the midi editor would also be very helpful. Or does it already exist?
