Hi,
For several months, I have been working on a track inspector which can manage articulation list (if you know Expression Maps in Cubase, you should be interested in this inspector).
Basically, by clicking on buttons, keyswitches are sent to a vsti (Kontakt, Play, ...) and they can be added into the piano roll as program changes in the Bank/Program Select midi controller. Articulation list comes from .reabank file, the instrument definition (.reabank files are just an ascii text file, which can be created and edited with a notepad).
Because I wanted a tool to speed up my workflow, I also added a track list panel, where tracks with their envelopes can be shown and hidden on the fly.
There are also some other cool features, like:
- basic features to manage track name, color, height, arm, mute, solo, map input midi channel
- track scenes: to easily show/hide group of tracks
- piano roll scene: to easily select midi controllers in the piano roll view
- keyswitches filters by midi channel
- etc...
See below some screenshots and animated gif to have an idea on what it looks like.
For the moment it isn't available (still being tested). It will be released as soon as possible and I will let you know. Any feedback is welcome.
I'm sure you will have a lot of questions. I will try to answer the best I can.
Just be indulgent with my English :-)
Thanks
PS: Writing documentation is a painful task, all developers know that and that's why they do not like to do it (like myself
)
