Thanks you!

Actions > Show Action List > Reascript > New
Set folder and name witch extention (.eel)- for exapmle - RRMidi.eel. Press Save.
Copy all text from link in first post to black window. Press Ctrl + S.
Close window.
=============
Now the script can be used as an ordinary action.

i agree with this sentiment. is this possible?

Not sure what I've discovered here but I don't think it's desirable :S

A second pass over existing items can partially delete midi information.

In another part of the song, this doesn't happen.



This doesn't happen with a conventional recording.

That can not be. It records all.

Existing data is not affected

@Stroudy

Look at your settings of item mixing in Project settings. Should be 'Item always mix'.

What's strange is that I wasn't getting this behaviour before.

Thank you so much eugen2777 for this precious feature! Coming from Logic, I will use it all very often! Hopefully one day it will be integrated as standard in Reaper :-).


Agree with @mccrabney, that recording at all times (even when stopped) would be very desirable. Sometimes you are just sitting at the keyboard and trying different ideas, without even hitting play. It would be especially handy with midi.

For this, the buffer could be divided into smaller "chunks", based on longer pauses, or manually marked/sliced by using a keycommand after a performance. Or by stopping-pressing the play button again (instead of erasing the data).

A list of "un-recorded takes/clips", sorted by time and track would also help, but even now it is more than perfect: it makes life so much easier.

But maybe it is too complicated. In Logic the single buffer was available only when playing, and got erased on rewind.

Who is still using this script successfully? I was using it for awhile and had no problem, but lately the script has stopped functioning for me. I tried reinstalling it, reassigning it as an action etc, to no avail

Script works, tested on a clean installation.
Tested old and new Reaper versions, including pre-releases.
Maybe, You need to look at the settings of the MIDI devices(RR-MIDI version), or Audio(for RR-Audio-version).

Thank you, Eugen!!!
Since months and years I try to get reaper to be a looping device, the coolest on the planet, but I'm stuck, because Midi latency is bad, when using midi controlled actions...
So I tried to understand super8 looper from reaper, which uses the buffer and has direct latency'free 'midicontrol, but it does not work, like I need it.

But now I see, that you have the potential to build something working...
All one would need is your script combined with some functions of super8:

First you hit a midi button sets the startpoint of recording, the second hit sets the end, calculates the tempo for arrangement, sets the time-selection for looping and then starts playing that loop in the arrangement...

After that, with some other footswitches one can create a whole song with just the reaper actions controlled by midi, but that can be done anyway. THE PROBLEM HAS ALLWAYS BEEN THE FIRST LOOP! But you could give the solution... :-)

Have I been able to explain myself, how gigantic the possibilities would be?

with best regards

Martin

Sju, this is an old script, one of my first scripts. Very confusing code. But it works, I didn't have to redo anything.
MCCY, unlikely I will be able to do something like that JS-Super8. You simply will appeal to the developers of super8 to add additional features..

It does not have to be like the JS Super8..., but the potential is so mighty to do this:

- You play with your instrument.
- When you're in the right groove & loop, you hit a Midi Footswitch
- At the end of the loop you hit it again & it would be fantastic to see the item looped & started in the arrangement with the right temposetting.

O.K. with all those special ideas I should learn to manipulate those JS effects, but I think this will take long time... if i can mangage it at all...

Thanks anyway for your great tools!!!!

Ah, one question:
When you look at JS Super8, is it very difficult for the experts here around to manipulate it the way I have in my mind?

It's just, I'm totally blown away by the idea to have the big looping dream finally working... and don't know whom I could ask.

Super8 is made by the developers of Reaper, so it might be on a very high level? So far I didn't get a response for my ideas...

I spent quite some time trying to get this to work when the Master Playrate has been changed (I like to sometimes slow the project down to jam on some trickier stuff).

I'm not sure if it's possible to get this to work without changes to the JSFX code?

The problems are

1. REAPER's glue applies the current playrate to the pitch of the item.

-> compensate for this before gluing the item by applying a pitch offset to the item.

2. The item length as exported from the JSFX buffer is too long when the playrate is slowed down

-> take playrate into account in the item length calculation in Implode_Glued_Items()

I didn't get very far, but here are maybe some useful snippets of code if anyone's interested:

Playrate = Master_GetPlayRate(0);
Pitch_Offset = (12/log(2)) * log(Playrate); // <- taken from "Multiply selected items rate by X and adjust length.lua" by X-Raym
New_Lenght=(Max_Pos-Min_Pos)*Playrate;

hmm.. I'll have a go at it when I'm not busy with other stuff and post the results (if any)

Cheers

Eugen, many thanks for this script! I use it all the time.

I have a feature request: would it be possible to retrospectively record the output of a track that has a VSTi on it (receiving MIDI and outputting audio)? So we could retrospectively record not only the MIDI but also the audio output of what we were playing.

Also- do you have a PayPal donation link?

Hi Eugen. Does this script work with audio if more than one track is in record at a time. Will it save the audio from more than one track?

Many thanks

If not, can it handle multi-channel audio files? I have tried selecting 4 buffers and it doesn't add channels - I guess that's not what it's for?

Many thanks anyway.

This is such a fantastic concept and I was really excited that it might work for me. Is it still being developed? I guess the buffer only fills when the project is playing back, right? That's a really unfortunate limitation since I'm not likely to be in playback mode when I need retro-record. If I didn't hit record, I probably didn't hit play either.

I'm also not likely to have the tracks selected that I want to retro-record. They are almost always armed, however. If this is still being developed, I would request be that armed tracks rather than selected tracks (as an option) are recorded. And like others have said, needs to work while stopped to really fulfill its potential.

I think the same but we can request so much from one man. But I agree it should work on every track (meaning every MIDI data sent should be stored) and has to record the buffer while not playing.

Samplitude does this and it's great. I'm just mentioning this hoping if Reaper gets this natively they should go to Samplitude road and not the Cubase.

Excellent question.
I am afraid it's not possible (yet) but would be a great feature imho.

eugen

will it be possible to get retrospective record without running the playhead ?
Cubase retro spect ends record all jammed notes in the session.
sometimes i used to jam on an idea without running the playhead and if i accidently chanced upon anything good, i would end up hitting retrospect and it would lay it out on the timeline !
if any luck to have this ..it would be a life saver for people like me with living with the inability of replaying a part that i accidentally chanced upon

Hello there, idk if this is still actual, but the script just doesn't work for me I only need the midi, it starts, says that everything is good, but when I try to play and write some midi it doesn't do anything, just says it captured no midi messages in the "last action" window up top..

Default Media item always mix?

could you make it so that whenever the items are dumped they default to 'Item always Mix' mode?
or is there a preference I am missing in reaper?

I am using retrospective record almost all the time for composing its so great to always catch the 1st golden moments in music, this tool is amazing, just to quick up the pace,
