I've seen people commenting (in some other thread somewhere) that smooth curves don't make sense for discrete MIDI CC values, yet there is already code dealing with the conversion of curve data into discrete MIDI data within Reaper already. That code, not the curve drawing code, should be reusable if it was written in a modular way. I'm assuming there is some reusable analog to digital function that takes care of it. Until then, I'm making good use of the MIDI CC curve drawing code from juliansader.
I would happily use the MIDI CC lanes in the Track Envelope Area if I could get recorded MIDI CC curves to stop fighting with the live position of my MOD wheel when I'm not even actively recording (play head isn't moving). I've tried a couple plugins that are supposed to help with that problem but have not been able to get it to work right.
Within the MIDI editor, if I've previously recorded some notes and some MIDI CC in the MIDI item I'm editing I can still move the MOD wheel and the live MOD wheel value gets used so I can continue to play my MIDI controller and experiment with the section of the music I'm working on. In the Track Envelope Area, there is a battle between the recorded MIDI CC values and the live MOD wheel setting and the recorded MIDI CC values always win. If that were fixed, I'd be using the Track Envelope Area for all MIDI CC recording and editing.
