Set Engine Pitch independently of Rate

[InfiniteDimensionality]

I use the api to automate things for various reasons that are probably important to me and no one else. On of the features I miss is being able to set the engine pitch independently of the rate.

It would be very nice if the humble developers could add a simple api call that would set the pitch of the engine for the project that will not effect the rate in any way.

reaper.SetRatePitch(1.3, 1); Sets the engine pitch to a semitone higher and sets the rate to 1.3.

Thanks,

Your master

lol, no!

Why not just implement a proper solution rather than a hack? This is not rocket science!

You're not anybody's master.

I've got a keyboard shortcut to those two commands. You can put them in the context menu of the items as well, or put them in almost any menu, or a toolbar, or the contextual toolbar. You'd like that last one. Get ReaPack to install that one easily.


Custom item buttons are an interesting idea, but there would need to be something immediately useful that people can jump on. The needs of heavy users of pitching items are already covered in this way.


I would however suggest having a better GUI option in the item properties. Just entering a number in a field is something that could be improved as well.

No, it has to be automatable(script). This is to automate changing the playrate and pitch in a process that needs to be automatable and non-destructive.

If I change the items pitch(D_PITCH) then I have to make sure to restore it. If the program crashes then the item might retain the changed pitch, which is not good. The best and most natural way is simply to expose an api call that can set the pitch and rate independently. This is not difficult as reaper already does this in some form or another, but just not easy to do it by hand.

Way to be taken seriously. Not.
