Starting to collect a feature list:
  • Audio, Midi keyboard and Midi Control surface input via normal tracks to allow any preprocessinig a user might add himself.
    This requires the use of MidiToReaControlPath, if the Patch Changer is done by scripts, or implementation as a combined VST and Reaper Extension plugin, if done in C++-
  • audio spill over (reverb, echo, ...)
  • Midi spill over (running notes, sustain pedal)
  • mute/unmute tracks (similar as LiveConfigs) but
    • allow for audio spill over via versatile fades
    • allow for Midi spillover (how to accomplish that ?)
    • allow for multiple unmuted track for a patch
  • push presets onto plugins (similar as LiveConfigs)
  • live twakable parameters per patch (e.g. 17 of them for a XControl Compact)
    • re-call when that patch is selected again during the show
    • allow for saving as default (to be recall after starting the Reaper project) for the correent patch (undo.levels... !)
    • assignable to any VST-parameter via "Morphing": (linear) functions applied to define multiple parameters of multiple VSTs from any tweakable parameter
  • VST parameters accessible via Midi CCs or vis VST/DAW API.
  • fire Reaper actions on patch change (similar as LiveConfigs)
  • GUI (plus maybe text files) for configuration
  • remove / add track
  • Audio and Midi Routing
  • define preset pushing onto pugins (similar as LiveConfigs)
  • define actions on patch change (similar as LiveConfigs)
  • define the interface to a Control Surface (maybe borough ideas from "CSI")
  • define the functionality of the twakable parameters. These should be able to be support "Morphing" and be sent as a bunch of CCs with definable Bus, Channel, and CC #, and VST parameter defines.
  • Song Patch stepper (see -> http://www.bschnell.de/patch.pdf )
  • "Background tracks"
    • Never used that or plan to use it myself, so no idea what features are sensible.
    • supposedly something similar to SWS region play list, or maybe borrow some ideas from "Playtime" or maybe borrow from CFillion's "Song switcher"..
