It stands for Virtual MIDI Keyboard. You have to assign the VMK as your MIDI input source on the track that contains your instrument.

Is anyone using this on Mac?
I'm curious if it's working for other folks on that platform.

@RobertRandolph, I think the clock issue might have been causing the shenanigans you saw; not sure, though.

I experience the same issue as deeb:
In tab "Harmony";
When i choose Type diatonic literal, i see "bad string" in the dropdown beneath the Type dropdown.
Same goes for Type diatonic smart.
Warm Regards.

Apologies for the "noobness" of this but can somebody point out how to actually use this?!
It looks great, but I just can't figure it out.
I have a MIDI item and have drawn in a simple C Major Chord. Do I select the notes then run the Theory Helper? Do I need a blank MIDI item then open the helper?
Sorry, I just can't get anything to work other than the Harmony tab where I can get it to copy the note by the selected interval.
Any help greatly appreciated!

- You need to have a MIDI editor open for it to run, since it interacts with a few of that editor's settings.
- Scale tab: Just a scale dictionary really; I use it to figure out what weird keys might work with a given guitar melody.
- Chords tab: Gives a list of all the possible chords using notes from the current key. Shift+click will insert them into the MIDI editor.
- Harmony tab: The only one that works with existing notes - select notes, select a given harmony type, and you can either preview them together or insert the harmony notes.

Updated to 1.38, the only fix is related to parsing Reascale files on Mac. For whatever reason this issue seems to have been creating a whole host of problems (freezes, etc).

I can confirm that Theory Helper now works on macOS for me without any issue.

Hooray, another happy OSX user:

Thx so much Lokasenna

Any mac user, running Reaper 5.50rc21 - 64bit, who experiences that the Chords section of Theory Helper doesn't work anymore ?
- clicked chords aren't previewed (heard) anymore.
- shift clicking on chords doesn't create those chords in selected midi item anymore.
I have setup midi input from VMK correctly.
EDIT: The "legacy" Chordhelper script still does seem to work for me.

What version is it still working with?
I haven't changed anything for either of those functions, so I'm guessing maybe one of the Mac-related changes in the newer RCs isn't playing nicely.
(Working fine on Win 8x64, rc22)

Hi Lokasenna,
Thank you for helping me.
I am not sure with which pre-release version of Reaper Theory Helper still worked for me
I currently switched over to your Chord Helper script, which luckily enough, still works under Reaper 5.50 rc22 - 64bit. (mac).
I know this is "not your fault"
Just weird that a script (in this case your Theory helper) stops working correctly after updating Reaper.
Would like to know how this can be possible..just curious.
Maybe, indeed, this is a mac issue.
That left aside, it's still really annoying.

I'm using 64-bit rc22 on macOS 12.6 with the latest Theory Helper.
All of the functions work here.

Hello! I can't see chord choices.
I recently found out about theory helper and was able to install it.
I ran it and checked the Chords tab, but I don't see chord choices like shown by Lokasenna.
Am I supposed to download something extra to make it work and if so, where can I find it?
In case this question has been already answered, then I would appreciate it if you could point me to such threads.
I will post a jpeg file of my current condition.
Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you!
Rosetree

Please click on the Options tab of Theory Helper.
Then : what do you see there at the top left of the window ?
Do you see a .reascale or not ?

I was able to do it!
Because I did not take time to learn the manual, I didn't realize that you can click the letters on the top left and choose various scales and what not. Now, I see chords as intended and was able to insert chords using it!
By the way, I had ZD-Ultimate.reascale installed.
The first time I ran the program, it asked for a reascale, so I searched for one and had it selected.
Thank you for pointing out where to check!
I love this forum

Hi,
First of all Thank You Very Much for this addon. Is great!
But I have problem with GUI. I'm using Reaper 5.40 and I've added button with action opening Locasenna on toolbar in MIDI editor. Problem is that GUI opens above over visibility area of screen. I need click somewhere on midi editor, Locasenna GUI disappear, then click again in action button to open Locasenna again. Now I have window to choose "new instance", "terminate" and "cancel". When I click "new instance" this time GUI opens correctly on center of screen - but I need to set everything again e.g. in options etc.
How to fix this?
--- EDIT ---
This is something with GUI window positioning relative to mouse coursor. Below some examples:
1. GUI position when I open Lokasenna by clicking action button on toolbar in MIDI editor:
2. GUI position when I open Lokasenna via Action Window. Action Window is in left top corner:
3. GUI position when I open Lokasenna via Action Window. Action Window is in right bottom corner this time:
In other words - would be good if TOP Lokasenna GUI window opens where mouse coursor is or just open in center of screen. Is possible to fix this?

Theory Helper
Hello All,
I'm new to Reaper and cannot find the url for Theory Helper. I've placed reaper_reapack64.dll in its folder, but can't find it on github. Am I missing something. Please be kind, I am smarter than I look.

A new menu Extensions > ReaPack should appear after the ReaPack DLL is installed in the UserPlugins directory and REAPER is restarted. (You can also find it in the Action List)
Search for Theory Helper in the Browse packages window, right click and choose Install:

Awesome script. A circle of fifths tab to borrow chords from other scales, and using the use of secondary dominants in chords is also super welcome.
Thanks.

- Circle of Fifths is definitely on my list of ideas, if and when I ever get around to working on Theory Helper again. I'd like to, there's just a lot of work under the hood I'd have to do before any new updates could happen.
- I had to Google "secondary dominant", since I'm not great at theory. From my reading, isn't it just the V7 of a given chord? That should be in the generated list already as one of the second degree's chords, no?

Hey Lokasenna.
Are chords (chords used as keys) also supposed to work with theory helper? I get strange results when I try to use a chord as a key.
I selected E sus 4 as the key. This means that only E, A, and B are valid pitches. When I set the sliders based on moving "down a second" (which I take to mean moving down to the next available note in a key). The sliders seem to go all over the place. I would expect E to move down to B, B down to A, and A down to E.
Am I thinking of this wrong?

What I'm really going for is the ability to take a selected note and add notes of a chord above or below it. For example, if the top note is B, and I wanted to write an E sus4 (as in the previous example, I could add the A and E below the B. If there is a way to do that on the chord tab then even better.

Gosh, I don't know what's going on, but in testing with reaper v5.96pre1, for some reason, the previewing (LMB clicking) and applying (Shift + LMB) isn't working.
I've ensured that the track is armed and receives input from the VMK. I have the track set to take input from all midi channels and monitor is on.
I can see the keys in the midi editor being pressed and that midi input is coming in from the TCP.
Any ideas?
Also, definitely in agreement about adding the circle of 5ths (like EZkey's one inversions and extensions).

My Duplicate selected notes at various intervals script might work.

You can see the script playing the keys but there's no sound, and nothing is inserted? That's weird.
For sound I could see it maybe being an issue with not using the same channel that the synth is expecting, but that's about it - if the script isn't giving you a big red "UNABLE TO PREVIEW" warning then it thinks everything is ready to go.
Just checked 5.96pre2 here, playing through ReaSynth, and it's behaving alright.

Hi Lokasenna,
Thanks very much for this, will pop a donation over
I have a slight issue, when I try to dock the script it jumps into the docker briefly then pop back out again. Any ideas?
Also, would it be possible at all to drag and drop the chrods from the Gui to the midi editor?
Thanks

The script is very picky about the window size, since it wants to make sure there's room for all of the chord buttons. When you put it in the dock it says "hey, I was resized, SCREW YOU!" and hops back out.
If and when I have the time to overhaul it, I'll try to keep docking in mind - I never dock stuff, so I forget that people want to.
