for resolution purposes, it would be great if we could have additional actions for CC control of both positive and negative swing grid strength

so, ultimately, you'd have these 3 actions:

allow absolute MIDI CC control of swing grid strength -100 thru 100
allow absolute MIDI CC control of swing grid strength -100 thru 0
allow absolute MIDI CC control of swing grid strength 0 thru 100

the last one is what i want to use. meanwhile, 128 steps of a CC doesn't divide well:

~201/128 = 1.5703125 swing percentage points per cc movement...

Sorry to not be as enthusiastic as I should but there is a remaining true disappointment for me : Reaper is still, at its 5.40 version, unable to detect RPN/NRPN MIDI messages for any action control.

An example of this : I have an Akai MPD32 with endless knobs that I am using to control cursor moves, zoom actions, etc... For this I still have to launch, before Reaper, OSCII-Bot with a dedicated script, this with LoopBe1 (virtual MIDI ports) working beforehand, and it's a chore : I had to make a WSH script to make all this more or less reliably working.

I was expecting a progress in this area since the days I setted all this clumsily with a great help from banned, gofer and Jeffos, three years ago (see this thread for more details).

Does this mean that there is a chance that I no longer need to reboot my whole system if ever Reaper crashes? Because this would also be pretty fricking sweet.

I can't believe there are still new features. Reaper already has just about everything I could ask for and then some.

IMHO I think they first should "fix" some long standing “issues” and bring certain (nerdy bedroom DAW) aspects of REAPER into 2017....

MIDI

support ".midi" as an importable file extension, in addition to the usual ".mid"


Not April Fools:

WTF?

Not only can no one do General MIDI correctly, but now they're making up their own filename extensions?

I had to Google it and there's very little information other than it seems to be screwing people up.

.mid is the correct file extension. If ".midi" is to ".mid" as ".aiff" is to ".aif", then people should be using the 3 letter extension to make it cross-platform compatible.

So THIS is important but being able to select sounds from the TCP isn't?


Or as mentioned above, any of the other long-standing issues?

I mean, I guess I'll go search for the thread here where 10,000 users complained that they couldn't import ".midi" files so the Devs felt the need to incorporate it.

But I haven't heard very much discussion of it here...not that I'm a long-standing member or anything, but really, come on.

It's just a tease - it's frustrating to think that someone might actually be out there listening and that things could actually be changed, and that a program so customizable would be so much easier to implement these changes in, unlike Apple or Avid.

Life was much easier when you paid a fortune for Pro Tools and you just accepted the fact that making any changes to the program simply wasn't going to happen and your input would be completely ignored. You got on with the business of making music in whatever way the program allowed.

I wasn't in the room when that was decided on but it's probably a matter of a couple lines of code that could be changed without interfering with anything else VS something that would take hours, weeks, days, etc. to make up.

If you understand Reaper's track paradigm you'd see pretty quick why this would make no sense.

Hint: multiple VSTi on one track

You know, life is actually still that easy. You can go right ahead and go use pro tools as well, and people here would be happy to read fewer posts like these. I'm sure you'd still post such things in their forum also anyway though, right?

If you have something constructive to say, then everyone would appreciate hearing it, but we can go without your entitled attitude.

Reaper is what it is. It is highly customizable, can be often adapted to suit your needs. The developers also listen to their user base and do what they can to deliver what they believe is the best product they can, with the resources available to them.

If that's not to your satisfaction, you are welcome to go elsewhere. Nobody is forcing you to use this product.

Hi, I'm not absolutely positive this is the right place to post this but since the update, I've had serious problems with playback. The whole system just overloads and I need to hit the panic button. In fact, I don't even need to be playing it back, now that I think of it. If there's no sound playing when it happens, it just acts frozen until I hit the panic button.

I haven't tried much that was super intense for a while now (so I'm not certain it's a brand new problem), but in this case, we're just talking about 4 ReaSynth MIDI tracks and a couple of vocal tracks with no effects, and it doesn't even need to be playing.

When I did start recording more vocal tracks and adding effects, it really didn't seem to change the frequency at which this occurred, nor did adding virtual instruments or changing any settings.

I run Reaper and all MIDI software from an SSD, I have 16GB of RAM, and my CPU is an AMD FX-8320.

In any case, I've experienced stuff like crackles and dropouts when my rig should be able to handle it, but this is new to me.

system seems good enough but you don't mention what your audio interface is... that would likely be the culprit

Right, sorry, forgot that bit. I know it's not a good audio interface but I'm talking about a problem that never used to occur. What I'm saying is I did have dropouts and popping with this interface, but this overload where I need to hit the panic button, even if I wasn't actually playing any audio or MIDI, that's new and never happened befre this update.

Anyway, my audio interface is Asus Xonar DG. I'm not really sure what to look for when looking for a good one, as this appeared to fulfil all the spec requirements of a good interface. I suppose I should have been more sceptical of the price. So yes, I do need to replace this, but no, this isn't the cause of this particular problem, as this problem is new and I'm using this interface for maybe two years now with Reaper and have never experienced anything like this.

Thanks for your help.

There was a small but extremely vocal (whiney) group who "demanded" the .midi thing because - to paraphrase - Reaper was totally crap unless this was implemented NOW! My theory on this addition is that it was relatively easy too implement and the squeaky wheel syndrome finally came into play.
Now YOU need to stop whining about YOUR favourite omissions and suck it up, son!

P.S. Sadly my own whine about having hybrid stave editing got overwhelmed by the addition of full (ish) notation, but am I bitter?

Ok so that kind of audio card is, as you say, not the best... ummm not even in the same category as what we think of as 'pro audio cards'... those are called 'consumer audio cards'...

So first thing I'd try is to get ASIO4ALL and install it and try using that as the ASIO audio interface with reaper...

As to your thinking that it is the last update that caused the problem... maybe but not very likely unless something got screwed during the install of it...

You could dbl check by going back to an older version of reaper... easy to try...

As to the thought that 'it can't be audio card' cuz it's always been just fine... well maybe... on the other hand, I suddenly had to replace the ignition switch in my car... it was perfectly fine until I drove into town, parked, came out could barely make it over to my mechanic's shop.

Shit happens...

But do consider, IF it was really something special with the last update, we'd expect to be hearing about it from thousands of other users by now.

You're right, I should probably stop putting this off and get a real card. I suppose I was just a bit unsure that it would solve my problems more than say a RAM upgrade. See, I tend to work primarily with VSTs, and barely ever do any recording. But maybe what I need to do is to get more RAM as well as a new card.

If I'm not mistaken, ASIO4ALL doesn't work with my onboard audio, and I think I may have tried it with the Xonar but never found any benefit ot it (the Xonar does have its own ASIO, which was one of the spec requirements I mentioned earlier).

I get what you're saying with the ignition switch analogy but that's the onset of a malfunction, so if my card is now breaking down, then that would make sense but otherwise it's not quite the same situation. Sorry about your car, by the way.

I was hoping that in posting here someone would have heard of this problem by now and known why it was happening, but if no-one's really experiencing it, I'll just try going back to the previous version. This isn't the first time something like this has happened, where an update has given me a performance hit and installing the older version fixes it. First time I'm posting about it, though, cos this problem is actually unbearable.

Thanks for your help. I'll try the previous version and post back.

Right, sorry it took me a bit to try older versions of Reaper but now that I have, the problem is actually still there. I can assure anyone reading this that this the problem I'm describing is new for me and my admittedly poor sound card has served me fine for a couple of years now, so though that may be part of the problem, something else is at play and I'm not sure what it is.

I went back version 5.34, as I know I used that one throughout the time I spent working on a piece that I spent a few days on and never had this problem during said piece. But as stated above, I have the problem now when using that version.

Thanks for all the responses. As this problem appears to be unrelated to the 5.40 update, I suppose I'll make a post elsewhere in hopes that someone knows what this is. Cheers.

I went back version 5.34, as I know I used that one throughout the time I spent working on a piece that I spent a few days on and never had this problem during said piece. But as stated above, I have the problem now when using that version.

Thanks for all the responses. As this problem appears to be unrelated to the 5.40 update, I suppose I'll make a post elsewhere in hopes that someone knows what this is. Cheers.
Hi,
When you reverted to the older versions did you try it with a portable install? Because if you have an .INI reaper file w some sort of error, without a portable install you are carrying over a possible error.
I hope that makes sense.

Really? Had no idea. Thanks for that. I've had to revert to older versions in the past, and it's solved my problem every time without ticking that option, so I hadn't expected it to be of any use here. Thanks.

All right, everyone...it was dust. I'm sorry. I really thought I'd cleaned out the dust much more recently than I must have, as I could hardly breathe for it once I was in there with the compressed air a few hours ago. Everything appears to work as it had before. Carry on, lads...
