The pink was just to show what I wanted the zone to be, I am not proposing changing the color of anything to make it easier to see. I am proposing the ability to click and drag anywhere inside the crossfade to move it around instead of having to click in the corners. It would still look the same as it does now. Really don't know what I said that is making people think I actually want to color the crossfades pink, this is about mouse modifiers and functionality, I am not proposing any appearance change. I had to identify the part in the image I was referring to somehow! :P

Yeah, gotcha.

The way my modifiers are set, I have the whole left side of the xfade to activate it so it's not a really big deal to me. However, it does seem more logical to be able to grab the bulk of it anywhere to move it -- so long as you aren't losing some other capability in the process.

My biggest issue is that it doesn't center the split/xfade where you split the region. You have to move it every single time, so that brings the issue more forward.

Now that there's a ruler context in the MIDI Editor... I would reeeeealllyyyy appreciate if I could have a different scroll-wheel behavior in the ruler vs the notes area.

notes area --> zoom
piano roll --> scroll vertically
and my wish ruler --> scroll horizontally

This also applies for the main arrangement view!

i could never agree with such arguments against adding powerful customization features or options. the key is just keeping them hidden from the casual user, but accessible to those who know what they are doing. so that's essentially what i'm trying to improve on. i'll likely be needing some feedback at some point on whether i am successful or whether i overlooked the importance of some useful feature i never bothered with at some point, so i'll be posting it fairly soon hopefully... but no need to dumb down for the masses like ableton. just be very organized.

i actually encountered this same response from one of the samplitude devs when i tried to suggest ways to make the customization there more complete. at least here i can just do it myself!

"What does everyone think about the idea of some kind of action that would allow painting of media items like the paint tool in the midi editor mainly for working with drum samples? I suppose it would copy the selected item and paint at every grid unit.And maybe a drag to erase to go along with it?"

I would love that function !

It's not quite what was suggested but if you go to the options in project bay you can make the selected item be the painted item in the arrange

No need to go to the PB either. Just left click on any item on the arrange, then left click/drag on empty area where you want to paint that item.
In V3:Preferences/Editing Behavior/Mouse : click + drag in empty area of track draws item...
In V4 alphas I have it working with SHIFT + drag.

Yes , this is pretty cool , but would be nice it painted to the grid, as an option.

Also..
Currently when painting in the arrange the start point of the painted items are according to cursor position in the original item.

Maybe it should paint the complete item , irrespective of cursor position.
Especially since it does not hold the item if you click the arrange ,or move one of your painted items. Then you have re-select your item , that's where the cursor position gets annoying as the starting point.Try it , its fiddly.
If I want another starting point I could split the original item and select that as my starting point.

I would like to be able to select any sample , either in the arrange or MediaXplorer and paint to the grid.

The workaround is trimming the item to the grid , render as new take and paint that.

good point but a note for this one, it paints from the position of the edit cursor too which is useful

I'd be up the changes suggested too as I work like this and would love to treat the arrange more like the midi editor

(alpha59)

bug:

Create a button to alter default track-left-drag to --> draw item (pencil)

Press the button.

Now go and change track-left-drag from the preferences to something else.

Result: Button still pressed, even though default mode has changed.

FR:

1) Make 'Pool MIDI source' into a toggle action. (Pool editing mode can now be controlled from a toolbar)
2) Add mouse modifier: draw item, obey pool mode settings. (draws pooled items only if pool mode is enabled, otherwise normal)

Now we can switch pool mode on/off for all actions (draw/paste/duplicate) with one move.

Thanks!

Now that there is a mouse modifier action for "move item (MIDI note) on one axis only", could there also be an action to "copy" the item or MIDI note on one axis only? Currently, I can't find any way to do this in the MIDI editor as there is no locking of horizontal or vertical movement there.

A thought, it may be easier to have the scroll wheel behaviour set in the mouse modifier section in preferences instead of just in actions.

New users may realise it is easily customizable that way.

I'd like to assign scroll wheel click (is that just middle button click?) to hand scroll in the arrange view, but this doesn't seem to be possible. Am I missing something? After getting used to it in Inkscape it seems a very nice way to get around.

Can we get hand-scrolling as a mouse-modifier?
I would love to use hand-scrolling with left-drag on empty

+1, I have to do this manually lots of times
(stretch one item, turn on snap to items,
move the other one)

Edit: Also the main point here would be to
leave right edge of the item that slips
where it is. So two functions are needed,
one that moves the whole item, and one
that only moves the edge.

A pretty similar edit is possible right now, btw. Mind that dual stretch will always stretch the leftmost and rightmost item in a selection and moves selected items between those two without stretching.

I know that's not the same thing as you guys request, but it sure helps to know you can do this:



Most often I use this technique to leave the transient part and the release noise of sounds intact when I want to stretch a note. In that usecase I won't need to insert empty items, I just split accordingly. I was just curious whether it also works with empty items .

plz
yes you can

go to preferences, select mouse modifiers
then go to 'midi editor'

and you will noticed that midi edtiro it have a 'Right Drag'
then you can search for 'erase note' in actions

and there ya go

*changing this will make you to custumize reaper tool bar inside midi editing since after this you will lose the selection marque on right drag...

i did this, and i had to insert tools for draw, paint, erase, select, and even split notes... but this is ok for me

as i also use Flstudio alot, so for me the right erase function at right click its fundamental for my work flow with midi

I've just had a go at reversing left and right mouse actions (right drag now creates time selection, left drag draws marquee). Seems fine except I now need to DOUBLE right click in the Arrange window to bring up a context menu for some reason. Can I change this to single right click?

When holding down modifiers that are set to address one context and specifically not another it would streamline things if contexts set to "no action" with those modifiers would "pass through" to the active context.

As an example I often like to zoom out by holding down ctrl-option and if I catch the edge of an item or a fade rather than zooming nothing happens (I have ctrl-option drag set to no action for fades).

Also the mouse cursor turns into a fade tool despite it being primed by the modifiers to be inactive in that context.

Less fiddly is good

Default logical mapping(s) - automation context? toggle: auto-select points in time selection

watching a vid, thinking 'select points in time selection' could be a useful ALWAYS ON (smart action?)

searched the forum for select points in time selection, many results even here, but it's not searching for that phrase...

already ran out of s-key modifiers, don't THINK you can make reaper have a key mapped (s) for when the mouse-cursor is over an automation lane (to perform action 40330)

re reaper (i.e. mouse cursor where? foccussed element = who?) context stuff... is there anything available natively (sws /scripts / mousemods / contextualtoolbars), or are there a lot of AHK users configuring MANY hotkey reaper actions?

would-love to introduce some intellisense style stuff, will check out reaper vim stuff ...
