🎸ReaTab Hero: Side-Scrolling Tab Viewer Script for MIDI Items (Update 2024-03-20)
Note: screenshot below are obsolete, the script looks like above now, which is way better. I have to remake screenshots at some point.
Hi everyone,
So I was looking for a way to share tabs to a bass player friend, but having to conform the MIDI tracks into external editors was really boring, especially if you modified your source project and have to reconform your tab again and again.
I needed something inside REAPER.
.. so I made it.
(well it was not instant, it took more than a month of full time dev and testing ^^)
ReaTab Hero:
Side-Scrolling Tab Viewer Script for MIDI Items in REAPERThis script can display MIDI items notes in a sidescrolling window, somewhere between Guitar Hero and a Usual tab player.
It has a deep REAPER integration so it can recognize a lot of things like loops, item edges etc...
And it can also work with completely free tempo, custom tuning...
It has a lot of options so that you can customize it to you needs
Arpegios !
Chords!!
Settings !!!
If you are interested, go check the product page, as it has a tons of feature, screenshots and videos, explanations...
I hope you will enjoy it !
and thanks for your support !
(thanks spk77, eugen2777 for the scripts classes you shared that allow me to build these, and kawa_ for some related script for assignate notes string more easily. you will have all details in the article!)
(also, this script is made for ReaPack: Package Manager for REAPER, by the great cfillion!)
PS: this doesn't replace a native tab editor, which would be very appreciated, but it is very nice for learning to play a song!

Very good job X-Raym! It looks amazing. Where are the explosions? hehe
Now I want to learn to play the guitar
Scripts like this, with UI and this kind of complexity that provides more than just actions to automate things should be named REAPER apps.
Very clever idea! http://www.extremraym.com/en/downloa...Social_Sharing 13.1. Social Sharing
By telling your friends how interesting you find this product with one of the sharing buttons below, you will get an instant discount of 3€!

Thank you very much for your very positive feedback
There is a lot of extra nice things you can do by having this kind of tool on REAPER like having a video of someone playing the riff while you are trying to learn it, display lyrics at the same time, add virtual instrument to the MIDI tracks and slow down the master playrate etc...
but the most satisfying is being able to play while hearing the real sound of the track
@Spacemantree
Oh you know, it is mostly trapez and rectangle haha :P
But it does the job
thanks eugen 2777 for his simple button library I use for the settings panel, and My ColorMusic for some (and most intersting IMHO) color schemes :P
@heda
I want to keep the script affordable,
and I think that sharing should be rewarded in some ways,
it helps more than we can think !
(explosions ^^)

Incroyable! je l'utilise déjà.
Il y a ce truc:
"Going from Guitar Pro (or other music notation software) to REAPER while preserving the string notes is not possible at this time. Indeed, only MusicXML format can do that, and MusicXML is not currently supported in REAPER. "
MusicXML est maintenant supporté dans REAPER.
Prévoit-on une mise à jour éventuellement?
Merci encore pour ce plugin!

Salut !
Merci pour l'enthousiasme
Le support du MusicXML est en cours de développement par REAPER, on verra à ce moment comment cela pourrait fonctionner avec ReaTab Hero
Petite curiosité... Quand tu dis que tu l'utilises déjà... comment est-ce possible, vu que j'ai fait qu'une seule vente et que c'est l'utilisateur Homme Studio sur le forum Francophone ?
Note : il y a un thread sur le forum francophone si tu preferes parler francais:
ReaTab

Very nice job on the interface. It really looks great. I will likely pick this one up. Quick questions:
Any desired alternate tuning system can be used? (pretty sure the webpage says as much, but I'd like to double check)
Are there large obstacles to getting an exportable pdf or image out of this feature in the future?

@G-Sun, @Fergler
Thanks
@A Little Man and a House
Hi !
Indeed you can have the tuning you like, from the lowest to the highest note on each strings. I set 4 to 9 strings (but in theory, it could be more).
Exporting to image or pdf is totally impossible with ReaScript, and out of scope of this project.
That is one reason why the script doesn't replace a native Tab editor (like the recent Score editor).
You can read all the article to see what this script can do and what it can not.

New script in the pack:
- X-Raym_Offset selected MIDI notes channel according to their chords.lua
This allows you to define note strings according to their position in the chord :P
It replaced Kawa AssignedChannelForChordTone script (which I used to advice to use with ReaTab Hero), with few enhancement:
- works with strummed chords
- no pop up
- no notes limit
(note: this script is not a mod of kawa script but a total rewrite with close functionnalities but very different core. Thanks to him for having made the initial script, it was very useful to me !).
Enjoy!

Only yesterday did I find this plugin, and it is absolutely amazing. I compose much of my music in Reaper, and, as a guitar player, in-program tab display is very, very convenient.
I really have to get used to the side-scrolling displaying. I am used to reading tabs in a static fashion. Is it possible to do this with ReaTab Hero?

@Garwyx
Hi !
Currently, the plugin is meant for side scrolling, not fixed tab, cause side scrolling was one of the main feature I wanted, it differentiates it from other tab viewers :P
@pipelineaudio
What feature did you expect in GP7 ? I am trying the trial, it is good but some new features are a bit ubpolished IMHO (the tuning meter is difficult, the FX pprocessing of audio input is difficult to adjust as you have to be in play state for that...). But I like the overall software anyway.

All of the day to day PITA stuff is still there. No customizing shortcuts (really no fun to use the shortcut keys on a laptop!) All the font and finger notation issues are still there, still no way to tell what midi notes will be on the drum map for export, still massive troubles of moving chords from string to string, still automatically messing up which string parts of chords are on even directly copying from one section to another. I'm sure as I go thru a day's lesson plans I'll remember more
Perhaps the most frustrating for me is that a lot of things have been moved or removed making it even slower to use than it was in gp6
Biggest pet peeve of all is not being able to open a gp file into gp7 by clicking on it in windows explorer. If I reset the windows extensions it opens just fine (gp5 and gpx files anyway) into gp 6 the way it always did.
No real usable help for a lot of the features, no response from the developers, just a massive wave of ouch
So bummed, had been waiting for this update for years

Ok, thanks!
Your site seems slow loading here.
Can I set string-choice/ handposition?

String choice is simply made with midi note channel, as shown on the video.
Fret number is then estimated based on the pitch.
What is handposition ?

Isn't string numbering opposite of usual?
Low E = 6
High E = 1
?

String number is based on their lowest pitch so lowest string = channel 1, highest string = highest channel.
Way more consistent with MIDI data :P

There's a weird bug in Reaper hiding or deleting notes when I hit:
Edit: Set events to channel 03
Anyone else?
Reason? Solution?
(ME is supposed to show all channels)

Can you screen capture that ?
Also, be sure to not have MIDI filter activated.

Filter does not change anything
Right corner: All channels
Checked action
It's not always doing this, but don't know what makes it on/off
Toolbar:
Code:
item_0=40025 String 1 Set events to channel 06
item_1=40024 String 2 Set events to channel 05
item_2=40023 String 3 Set events to channel 04
item_3=40022 String 4 Set events to channel 03
item_4=40021 String 5 Set events to channel 02
item_5=40020 String 6 Set events to channel 01

Just tried with v5.91 and I did not have this problem. It it is not the MIDI event filter, I really wonder what cause this issue !
But it is unralted to Reatab hero for sure, open a Bug Report thread with the screenshot and see if other people have this issue.

I believe this is pretty standard way of numbering
