Would be too good to be real, i loved this part of FL.

Thanks for the support all! The more votes the merrier. We're on course now for REAPER Ver.92 (due out in the first quarter of 3005!)

Any more takers?!

Searching exactly for this feature. Being very sad to find, that reaper cannot do that.
I play EWI through reaper & want to use a Midi controller along with the EWI midi control signals. EWI needs to be set up very carefully for subtle sound-changes (breath, bite & pitch sensors) on other parameters & I need such a feature to controll exactly the range around the sweetspot. I want to use a foot controller in addition, but it reacts not very sensitive...

Thanks for the support guys.

It's been over a year and a half since I made this request - but no movement whatsoever.

http://forum.cockos.com/project.php?issueid=4127

39 votes so far. I'm not sure if that's a small number or a big number as I don't really follow other feature requests.

How many votes do you need to get noticed?

But if you set "Low 64" and "127 High" you can for example allow the full sweep of a mod wheel controller to send only values 64-127 to the parameter.

Or if you wanted to invert the control you would just enter "Low 127" and "High 0".
Yes please!

I use macro knobs in Ableton live all the time... They just work and make everything simpler and faster. You can assign unlimited number of parameters to one knob with min and max values for each. You can even turn on and off effects in ableton with knobs and automate it..
I miss this feature in Reaper a lot!

Yes I too really feel Ableton's system is much better for MIDI learn than REAPER's. Macro knobs would be amazing but first a simple min max control for the MIDI learn would take us miles closer!

Added one more emphatic yes vote!

Reaper's MIDI learn is a constant source of frustration for me. It's obviously capable of doing just about anything but the poor interface and lack of ability to fine tune mappings has always been so off-putting for me. I once even tried to convince Hermann Seib to make a VST-wrapper version of his SaviHost that one could load in Reaper and other hosts because of its far more usable midi-learn capabilities. Sadly it never came to be, and that was three years ago or so! And Reaper's MIDI learn hasn't seen much (any?) improvement in all that time, so any attention paid to this sorely-lacking area of an otherwise great DAW is very welcome as far as I am concerned.

Duly voted.

ReaComp threshold and other controls are next to useless without this. EXTREMELY slow moving in the upper ranges, and waaaay to large jumps in the lower ranges. Haven't gotten this to work, if there are any other means of obtaining a more reasonable scale I'm all ears. What's the point of midi control if the increments are hard-wired to be unworkable?

How many votes so far?

I almost hate to post usable workarounds in Feature Request threads, lol

but...

You can link Parameter Modulation to some "dummy" control knob to limit the range

see;

Evidently not enough so far, but seeing as editing multiple midi items was just implemented after being an FR for 4 years, perhaps there's hope for the future!

This should also be applicable for actions like "Adjust playrate" etc.

BPP handled this stuff sublimely well with a MIDI plugin.
And it was far more versatile than what is suggested here, even. in 1991.

I know - I'll shut up now....

Anyone still wanting this feature in 2018? I certainly do!

I hope I see the day where I can fine tune my compressors ratio with my MIDI controller without values jumping all over the place before I die.

Reg: Jumping around...

I have seen some jumping issues but I'm not sure this request is the underlying problem. For example, 0-127 constitutes the entire "throw" of a knob/fader, that's all that's there to be had and is usually handled via absolute mode - but IIRC I see a different behavior from some controllers compared to a controller I built myself.

IOW, the controller I built when set to absolute in Reaper, is perfectly stable and resolution is a perfect one to one match between the real and virtual fader. Meaning jumping around should be a different problem then "I want it to take three turns of a relative controller to = 1 full turn of the virtual knob". It's possible this is a problem where we want a true relative/endless hardware controller to act like a true hardware absolute controller. The difference there is a true absolute potentiometer just has a 220 degree rotation and converts resistance changes into CC values - where a relative controller is a completely different animal.

Actually I fixed this in my controller (which has one true absolute and two relative encoders). When I wanted the relative to behave as absolute, I had to write code that always reset the relative value when the direction changed (I think). I was never able to make this behavior work with a brand name controller.

Hmm....

TLDR but did you guys try adjusting for some of this (jumping et al) by customizing the settings for the knobs in the hardware? Seems like I remember doing this in the past to fix similar issues.

I used the wrong term, my bad (not a native speaker, apologies). I should have said "increasing/decreasing in coarse, rather random looking steps." It happens due to the midi range (0-127) not being optimally scaled to a given parameter (eg. compressor's ratio).
