Transformer is a realtime version of the Logical Editor. It does not make use of the incoming MIDI, other than automation data (such as recorded pattern changes). StepDesigner is a MIDI pattern sequencer that sends out MIDI notes and additional controller data according to the defined pattern. This makes it easier to try out different settings when creating grooves and rhythms. This effect allows you to apply quantizing in realtime. This effect monitors incoming MIDI events. This can be useful, for example, if you need extra Random or Range settings. This plug-in is essentially a duplicate of the MIDI Modifiers section in the Inspector. It creates effects similar to a digital delay, but also features MIDI pitch shifting and much more. This is an advanced MIDI echo, which generates additional echoing notes based on the MIDI notes it receives. You can then use the plug-in as a control panel to adjust the sound of a MIDI instrument from within your host application. This generic control panel allows you to select up to 8 different MIDI controller types and set values for these. This MIDI compressor is used for evening out or expanding differences in velocity.Ĭontext Gate allows for selective triggering/filtering of MIDI data. These can then be played back live or using recorded notes on a MIDI track. With Beat Designer, you can quickly and easily set up the drums for a project, by experimenting and creating new drum sequences from scratch.Ĭhorder is a MIDI chord processor, allowing you to assign complete chords to single keys in a multitude of variations. One typical use for this is automatic MIDI panning, but you can select any MIDI continuous controller event type.īeat Designer is a MIDI pattern sequencer that allows you to create your own drum parts or patterns for a project. This effect works like an LFO in a synthesizer, allowing you to send out continuously changing MIDI controller messages. This is a versatile and advanced arpeggiator, capable of creating anything from traditional arpeggios to complex, sequencer-like patterns. We play each song maybe 3 times and move on currently.A typical arpeggiator accepts a chord as input, and plays back each note in the chord separately, with the playback order and speed set by the user. But when we practice things get screwed up on the second or third song. When I've tested just running through the project things work fine. At a show we would hit play at the beginning and just let it run. At practice we're repeating songs and such so he's frequently moving the cursor around. He uses the touchpad to move to each region, or the Region Manager to go to the start. The keyboardist is using Native Instruments plugins to play through, so he has the laptop in front of him. The project is setup so each song has a region, and there are some interlude regions in between where some backing tracks will play and the guitarist can tune, etc. There are some tempo markers in the project so that's a good idea to look into. The question in my mind is how do you coordinate (selection and timing) the Reaper tracks with the song being played by the band? I could easily see getting the wrong Reaper track running intermittently as the cause for this type of problem. I'm able to catch all of these types of things when I do a practice runthrough of the performance at home. I could also see similar issues if the timing of the band's performance doesn't match the timing in Reaper precisely. In my case it's pretty easy to spot since I'm also sending audio backing tracks, but the audio tracks will still play at the right tempo even though the timing on the track is wrong but the MIDI will get sent at the wrong time. The most common way I get errant MIDI messages is when there is a problem in the BPM or time signature (3/4 versus 4/4 timing) in the track being played so that the MIDI messages get sent at the wrong time or the track being being run in Ableton is the wrong track or wrong time signature for the song being played. I run all the MIDI stage automation for my performances in a similar way using Ableton.
