It is no good for that bc in play mode, chromatic or in key, you get repeated notes in the next line. That defeats its purpose. Most 64 pads drum controllers use a linear fashion to send midi, starting in the low left corner, moving all the way to the right and then doing the same with the next line up, so plugins like gueist and others rely on that. Sure, they could be remapped but if you have linear maps for your plugins, or are not using DrivenByMoss, you are in trouble. The drum 64 feature should stay like it is but def a new linear one is needed so when you change to your drums it plain works.

Forgot to say that I love it that it remembers track mode preferences. When I switch to a drum channel it remembers to work in drum 64 mode. Awesome.

Crossing fingers for this. It is big. Sorry for my ignorance in all things coding, but, ¿Why is it slow because of being eel?

I am getting very slow performance in reaper sometimes, and I have to terminate the script so it goes back to normal. It can take more than 3 seconds of lag to produce a sound when it starts getting slow.

I also got this info from a popup when adjusting volumes:
Unhandled command: 0.55034214
Unhandled command: me 0.6451613
Unhandled command: volume 0

Now you can record into that clip.
I found new issues with it. Does not arm the channel and sometimes goes to whatever channel it wants and creates a clip there. It also does not respect the already set "automatic track arm when selected"

Got it. Thanks for the clarification. It would be nice if it could go back to "Trim/Read", tho. It is the default mode.

Maybe you need an API for that? you could ask Justin to do so. Reaper developers are usually very receptive and helpful adding these kind of things, specially in a case like yours, where your work can help a lot of people.

Yes you are right. It displays the user folders but it really is super slow to show. Flashes black and turning the knob takes a long time to reveal a selection change on screen. Sometimes more than one white box appears on screen, too. Here, a video to show this behavior:

Cool

That's all I can do (I already jumped through lots of hoops to make it work like this).
Understood. Maybe it also needs an API?

Could we choose to turn it on/off in config?
