a thread about pitch/rate envelope solutions in v5
many users desire a per item non-destructive pitch envelope that smoothly adjusts both pitch & rate <<.
otherwise know as varispeed pitch-bend tape-stop etc etc.
in V5 we have the addition of per item fx envelopes, but no pitch/rate. so we repeat the request and in the mean time bodge away our own solutions:
using v5's per item envelopes, my previous preferred solution in v4 using reasamplomatic pitch envelope can be neatened up to the point of sexy..
speedy huh. neat too. move it around (its attached as a new take), re-adjust, render fx to new take.. world is your oyster.
-
i include a track template, and one macro in a keymap for anyone curious.
you will need sws s&m extension:
**note**: the track template never gets inserted into projects to mess with your stuff, just the little item within it.
setup:
----------------------------
put template where reaper templates live.
import the keymap via actions menu - its called 'pitch inserter loop fix' - no key is assigned to it yet.
-- bring up the sws extension 'resources' window. <<
select 'track template' from drop down box
then hit the *2nd button to import/populate templates into the slots.
Locate the 'pitch rate adjust my item' template in the newly populated list and (for now at least) drag and move it to **slot 2** as the macro expects it to be in slot 2.
you can change that later within the macro if you need to.
assign a key/controller to the 'pitch inserter loop fix' macro action now in the actions list - shift P was free here.
done!
------------------------------
now - when you have an item you want to adjust/tapestop/varispeed:
1: select the item, hit the macro key and:
a new take appears under the original item with a take envelope showing and a reasamplomatic item fx appears.
the item is zoomed-in to aid drawing envelopes and the original item take (presuming there were no takes to start with) is now also selected so that you can just:
2: >> hit 'import from arrange' in reasamplomatic.
close the item fx if you like and then draw in your pitch/rate adjustments into the new take envelope. (take has to be active to draw the envelope so no need to tell you to reactivate the take..)
alternatively learn the pitch adjust in the sampler to a midi control etc.
i make that 1 more click than native, 2 more if you click to close the item fx.
p.s
- btw the new take is just a midi item that contains sampler as item fx and has a midi note at the start of it. thats it.
Macro inserts the item onto same track as original item, adjusts it to same length , then implodes it new take of original. Then shows the item fx.
- you can also alt-shift-T to show only the envelope, but i think having the original is a good reference at least until user renders item fx.
ATTACHMENTS via reaper stash: **YOU NEED BOTH A+B or A+C**
adds optional template that uses pitch wheel for less pitch bend range in the envelope ( +- 12 instead of 80 )
also the midi trigger item is shorter for reliability purposes and sampler release set to 0.
load C into slot 2 of sws resources in place of template B (best do this by r-click slot 2 and goto load)
n.b ensure template is in sws s&m resources template slot 2 and **'offset by edit cursor' ** is ticked. PLUS ensure reaper's insert track template menu 'offset template items by edit cursor' is ticked ON. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< CHECK THAT AGAIN.
