I just noticed I made a script to do that and updated it

Hi, thanks I'm trying this out now! On the topic of the templates/downloads, is there a way to download all of the testing file in one motion? There's a ton of stuff in the folders and I'm not sure what I actually need and it seems like it's going to take a long time to click each thing one by one. Thanks

I admit I'm kinda confused on how to use this and I'm basically looking for a tutorial project similar to the ones for learning reaper. Right now I'm just experimenting with things on my own and following up with this thread, as there is a lot to read. Is this mainly meant to be used with the plugin band in a box? I don't have that.

I put the mp3 in a subfolder if you just want to test it out you can download a few mp3 zips.
If you can use them after trying a few you can get a browser plugin like "Download Them All" you can download the wav if you want better quality.
You don't need the Band In A Box Plugin, you can do that with ReaTrak.

If you don't have it you will need to install Lokasenna GUI or via ReaPack
and run Library/Set Lokasenna_GUI v2 library path.lua
Right click Save Link/Target As
Snap midi to chords gui compact.zip (mpl_snap to scale.lua is included.)

If you have ReaTrak installed use this
ReaTrak snap midi to chords gui compact.zip

*UPDATED added option to mute extra chord notes rather than moving to next octave.
Default "No" extra notes are muted, "Yes" no notes are muted.

*UPDATED will play midi preview through 64bit MPC Media Player Classic if it's installed in C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe
It will play in minimized mode, the stop should work (this will close MPC) you could send controls to MPC by using AutoHotkey sent from Reaper.
Make sure you get the MPC-HC.1.7.9.x64.exe/download
if not it will use the included wv_player.exe

Extract all files to your Scripts folder or Scripts\ReaTrak and load the 2 scripts.
Set wv_player\wv_player.exe to Run As Administrator,
this will give a preview of the midi file,
make sure you set Reaper to release driver when stopped
as it uses the default Windows midi synth to play,
the Stop just kills the wv_player.exe so you might get a held note for some seconds. If you find a better command line player let me know.
The preview will only work on Win at the moment until a command line player is found for Mac.
Try and have a shorter file path if the files don't play preview.
I included a few free midi demos to try.

If you have midi loops you already know the Chord of
you can "Set Chord Name" type the name then transpose.
If you have midi Bass Loops you know the root of choose the Bass Root then click "Set Bass Root"
You can also Select the item then the whole or section of the item with time selection then hit a chord button and it will snap those notes starting in the time selection to that chord.
"Insert" will insert the Midi in the browser on the selected track at the cursor pos.
"Snap to Scale" will open the mpl GUI.

Thanks to solger help with the file browser from ReLauncher.
If there is interest I can add a filter in the browser.





*UPDATED added option to mute extra chord notes rather than moving to next octave.
Default "No" extra notes are muted, "Yes" no notes are muted.

Snap Midi Phrases to Chords

If you want to create a chord track for a virtual instrument to follow, as there are many instruments now that follow midi chord input.
Create up a new midi item to whatever length for the longest chord change you use, say 8 bars, then draw 7 notes the length of the item from C up.
Now change that item to the chord you want and size it to the duration you want, copy it and do the same again:

Default All In One

You don't need ReaTrak installed for this, this is just simple and basic to use and does the job. All In One script !
If you don't have it you will need to install Lokasenna GUI or via ReaPack
and run Library/Set Lokasenna_GUI v2 library path.lua
Right click Save Link/Target As
Instant Trak creator gui.lua

If you have ReaTrak installed you can use just the script
Right click Save Link/Target As
ReaTrak instant trak creator gui.lua

Instant Traks will run just by the one script, all you need are the tracks, you can make these up or try the ones below https://www.reatrak.com/downloads/test_files/

The fills are 1 bar
The Count-Ins are 2 bars
The Endings are 4 or more bars
The Holds and Shots are 3 or 4 bars (you need to select the Instruments Holds track to fill any Holds or Shots)
You can select any format in the tracks folders
mid, mp3, opus, wav, mp4 video etc.. they all should have a region csv with them.
After you create a new region and name it select the color.
I think most of the tracks are just count-in, verse, chorus, fills and endings.
Some of the drums may have intro, bridge, pre-chorus.



You can create a basic one with just a few chords or an advanced one with lots of chords and lots of playing variations.
Say if you have a simple strum pattern, you can record a bar or 2 in A,A#,B,C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G# and if you like Am,A#m,Bm,Cm,C#m,Dm,D#m,Em,Fm,F#m,Gm,G#m that's just 24 or 48 bars,
now that will fit to any key using the basic Major minor chords.
Here's a basic Major_minor_chord_regions-48bars.csv right click Save Link/Target As then import the regions in the region manager.
Then upload your track, reapeaks and the region csv with the same name as the instrument:
Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm Pop 01 Ev8 4-4 120bpm.csv
Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm Pop 01 Ev8 4-4 120bpm.wav
Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm Pop 01 Ev8 4-4 120bpm.wav.reapeaks

The regions are red this means it will play in intro, bridge, verse, pre chorus, chorus (purple orange blue yellow green)
Come on guys n gals try a basic one and upload it for users to try !

Full Screen


*Updated added play anywhere button to set region color to red that means that region will play in verse and chorus etc..
These are the metronome setting to give you a 2 bar count-in for the above template.



This is a recorded strum, it's rendered with the settings below.
This will fit to any basic Major minor chord progression.
You can take it further and add some 7 chords, endings, holds and shots.
Guitar, Strum, Ev8 4-4 120bpm.zip




Here's another way.
You can get loops in all keys and a lot of chords here https://www.sessionbandloops.com 70% off.
You have the playing, endings, holds and shots.
Once you create the track and regions, Instant Traks will instantly fit the chord instruments and drums to any progression and tempo.
If you have to do this manually it will take ages.




*UPDATED if you reatrak a section that has items already it will remove the current items and put new items in, this will give a new variation.
+ other bug fixes

Default Multiple Marker Region Tracks

I made this for a user in the main forum but it went dead, so if you could try it here and see if it's of use.
There was something mentioned about ripple editing and hidden markers ?
So do they save when you save markers to csv then it could be made to save the regions/markers to track_id.csv to the project folder the same way it's currently saving to the child track.

Here's a prototype to try, it will have bugs but you can try it out. Don't try it on any of you good projects, you can save the markers/regions from them then import into a test project.
There is a import regions markers merge to import marker/regions into a project with existing markers or regions.
The GUI will have to be fixed up and actions added.

The refresh update is set to .5 sec, you can speed it up, but see how that goes.
Code:
GUI.func = getselectedtrack
-- GUI.func will run on every loop
-- Use this to set the poll time in seconds:
GUI.freq = .5 -- .05
From here you will need to install Lokasenna GUI or via ReaPack
and run Library/Set Lokasenna_GUI v2 library path.lua

Right click Save Link/Target As
Marker region tracks GUI.lua

You could have an option on the GUI to leave collapsed or write to a csv rather than the child track.



Updated: smaller GUI and other issues fixed

Very cool but very complex project. Couldn't this be any easier? Why is everything so messy and hard in Reaper? Very good to start but more useful it should be simpler so it really works.

By simplicity I meant it was about the internal structure of the system. I did what was described but it doesn't work as shown. I know it's impossible, but it would be nice if something like this happened; https://youtu.be/CnHdJ2wu2-c?t=1480

You have a Band In A Box Plugin because I was the one that pushed for it and spent years helping develop it.
I am trying to get ReaTrak into a VST to work in any DAW

*UPDATED prochak96 updated the script/jsfx to show more slash chords and individual notes.
chords.ttf to give the chord font.

ReaTrak note-counter.jsfx
Put the jsfx in your Reaper resource folder
REAPER\Effects\MIDI
It is set to Arm Record by default it you want to input chords from external device.
You can send the midi from another track to the MIDI Chord Input track or place the midi item on that track.

If the track is all one color region you can set all the regions to "play anywhere" color with the button, this will then fit it to verse or chorus.
If there are notes in the 2 bar count-in you can insert a region with the same chord as the first bar and set the color to "count-in" pink.

After you have modified the regions save them to the same name as the wav:
Guitar, Portuguese, Picking Gentle Ev8 100 A.csv
Guitar, Portuguese, Picking Gentle Ev8 100 A.wav

*Also if you are sick of the region numbers go here
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=246236



my gosh! I tried to make some tracks for biab with limitted success, but if I can understand how to use this tool with a screen reader, that might just become a brand new, much more varied contribution to the artist tracks... and it will give my tracks and national music a new life. i really wish I knew about this during the lockdown.

Default STASH Downloads

I uploaded a lot of these scripts to STASH Downloads https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak
So they will still be here if I'm not around.
I think I got most of them, just let me know if there are any others that need to be in STASH.

Default Chord Sheet

ReaTrak region chord sheet editor.zip
Right click chord.ttf to install.
Install SWS Extensions.

Demo Video https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6xhyoceq7...-Demo.mp4?dl=0

This is modified from mpl region chord editor, it is 1 self contained script.

It will create a midi chord track from the chord names,
this can be used for any virtual instrument that has chord input like MusicLab's RealGuitars, NI Session Guitars, UJAM Guitars, EZKeys, EZBass and many others...
There is a right click context menu, left click will edit the chord/region name.
* If you want to create quick tracks using the chord sheet you can use ReaTrak Instant Traks Creator
ReaTrak-instant-trak-creator-gui.zip
https://www.reatrak.com/downloads/test_files/

Have you played around with importing Scaler 2.x chords into the ReaTrak chord track?

Yes, I asked them to put midi chord name markers in the exported midi file so just check that option in the Scaler's settings and you will get them in Reaper.
Same with MusicLabs Guitars, RapidComposer, JJazzLab and Biab Plugin I asked them also to have the chord names as midi markers in the exported midi.
Just going through all the scripts I made and I'll just keep uploading all them to stash. I just need to go through and edit them all so all the functions are self contained and don't need to call another ReaTrak script.

Default Biab Drums with Stems

ReaTrak biab drums gui.zip
Self contained script with gui elements, you don't need anything else.

If you don't have Biab app you can download some user made Band in a Box RealDrums here
https://www.realband.org/drums.html
they should install in your chosen folder if not use a setup extractor like those below, then just point the script to the Drum Style txt file in \bb\Drums or your drum folder. It will create a drum track from all the formats including video drums.
If the Drum style has stems it will create tracks with them as well as the stereo version track.

InnoEx for Win
https://www.softpedia.com/get/Progra...s/InnoEx.shtml

or InnoExtractor.zip

Pacifist for Mac
https://www.charlessoft.com/

Purchase Biab RealDrums here
https://www.pgmusic.com/realdrums.php?os=win
https://www.pgmusic.com/realdrums.php?os=mac

for stems see the 49-PAK

Default Update

To get midi also, in the RealDrum folder there should be an SGU/MGU,
open it and drag the Melody track to MID DROP then drag into the drum folder and rename it to the name of the main stereo audio file.
You can edit the midi track so it's on channel 10.

Updated will load the drum library and play demos ReaTrak biab drums gui.zip

To get demo previews in the GUI Install 64bit MediaPlayerClassic https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/
the script will look in this folder (if you have Reaper 32bit you will need to change the path)
"C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe"
On first run "Browse for Drums folder eg: C:\bb\Drums or D:\bb\Drums etc..

Default Band In A Box Track Injector

*Update: Thanks to the great Reaper guys, the latest v6.57 release Reaper now handles wma accurately on old or new hardware, so you can use wma direct without re-encoding to mp3/wav. The Script below has been updated to give a file type choice of .wma in the Settings tab
+ Windows: support native decoding of .wma, .wmv, and mpeg-4 audio video via Windows Media Foundation
+ Windows: support native rendering of .wma, .wmv, and mpeg-4 audio and video via Windows Media Foundation
Install https://www.sws-extension.org

You can use wav if you have the wav Audiophile version of Biab.
You can also use other formats if you want to batch convert your RealTracks/Drums to them, (this won't effect Biab as long as it has wma or wav to read) reaper has a batch converter.
Select the File Type then you can optionally batch Create the Reapeaks files if you don't want to wait for them to load.
Set the Drive Letter to the drive Biab application is on.
Create RT & RD List, this will create a text list of all your RealTracks/RealDrums that Reaper will read.
The Key droplist is to set the key of your song in Reaper and send it to Biab when sending the chords from Reaper's regions.

Install www.autohotkey.com then set C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe to Run As Administrator by right click.
The Autohotkey scripts in the ahk folder are for the eng version of Biab but can be modified for other languages.

You will need the 2022 version of Band in a Box to get all the features, an older version may only give the basic features.
This will add Band in a Box world class session players to your Reaper recording session without having to hire studio musicians.
It will give you way more control of what you need as it's loading the source files directly into Reaper without waiting and creating wav files.
You can easily add multiriffs to any section of Reaper's track instantly without having to render a lot of wav files.
You can change any section at anytime.
Any item you click on will show what RealTrack section it is allowing you to see what instruments changes there are on any track.
Any items can be extended either way to give custom variations as you don't have one consolidated wav file.
Shots and Holds for RealDrums can be custom selected by extending/shortening the Hold/Shot section for another variation.
Shots and Hold for the RealTracks can be adjusted easily in timing or volume level.
RealTracks can be changed from Direct Input <> FX version with one click keeping the same playing.
RealDrums can be split to stems (where available).
The Tracks from Biab will adjust to any decimal tempo map in Reaper.
It can have 4/4-3/4 time signature changes.

Copy all the files and folders in this zip to Reaper's Scripts folder (Reaper > Options > Show Reaper's resource path..)
In Actions menu > Actions List
New Action > Load ReaScript > Biab track injector GUI.lua
select and run.
You can resize the Biab window to a small size that's not in the way.
Leave the Biab mixer open and floating, so the track instrument names are showing down to Utility 02.

Easy Installation Guide:
Have Biab running when you create the RT RD List in Reaper.

This is still being developed and needs a bit of error handling but still works pretty good.
If you have any lock ups just exit the Autohotkey script in the system tray "H" or Autohotkey.exe in the task manager.
Save your Reaper project regularly with the Save Project button.



You need to first add a menu to Band in a Box:
This is quick and simple to do.
Download a Resource Editor
open bbw64.exe
Select RCDATA
Select TBANDWINDOW
on the right side select some text then Ctrl+F
type Help and search
insert a blank line above it and paste the code
Code:
    object Track: TMenuItem
      Caption = 'T&rack'
      object TrackMenuItemID1224: TMenuItem
        Tag = 1224
        Caption = 'Get Track Info'
      end
    end
Click the Green Arrow to Compile
File > Save

Default Drums Editing / Stems Video Demo

You can easily edit the drum track how you like as every section will contain the whole drum track.
It can the be made into stems once you get it how you like, the only issue being is when they made the stems they did not add the shots, holds and pushes that are at the end of the stereo file, as you can see below in the pic, so you will need to copy them to the stem track from the stereo track wherever you have a hold etc...

Reaper is not encoding wma to mp3 accurately so another option for converting wma to mp3/wav is

see pic below.
Do a search in the RealTracks or Drums folder for .wma then just drag n drop the search results into Freac.

Random Style Creator added:

With so many pre made Styles in Biab this allows you to create you own unique Style or pick a RealTrack instrument or Drum randomly that will match the Feel, Time Signature and tempo range it is set to.
The is an "A M" on eack track that allows you to instantly Inject that Audio or Midi track into a Reaper track without have to wait for Biab to render down to wav.
After loading your chords into Biab just select the "Feel, Time Signature and tempo range" then the "Set BB to Blank Style" button.
Select the type of instrument in the drop down and Rhythm, Solo (or Drum in Utility tracks) then click the "Random", click "Re-Gen".

Default Musobob?!?!

Has anyone heard anything from Musobob?

I periodically do a search on his posts for chord track related stuff and just today I noticed he hasn't posted since 6/22/22.

I'm a little concerned since his last post in the Band In A Box forum was also 6/22/22.

He's done some great work with REAPER.

A very nice competent guy. It is a pity that he is no longer here in the forum.
