I'm trying to get my mind around the wildcards available for render. But I don't get it...
I have sampled my old ESQ-1, and have now in a Reaper project 800 samples stored as a matrix with 25 regions, one for each note C2 to C4, and named such. I have 8 tracks for velocities 16, 32, ..., 127. For each note I have four different samples (to make a round robin), so in each region there are four items on each track.
Now I want to render all these items so that I get all items in the same region to have the same prefix number, followed by the region name, the track name, and a serial number 001 to 004. These would all be unique file names.
When I render with:
Code:
$regionnumber-$region-$track-$namecount
I expected to get:
Code:
01-C2-16-01.wav
01-C2-16-02.wav
01-C2-16-03.wav
01-C2-16-04.wav
01-C2-32-01.wav
...
02-C#2-16-01.wav
...
But what I get instead is mysterious to me:
Code:
01-C2-16-01.wav
02-C2-16-02.wav
03-C2-16-03.wav
04-C2-16-04.wav
01-C2-32-05.wav
02-C2-32-06.wav
...
05-C#2-16-01.wav
...
For one thing, it seems that $regionnumber is not the same as region ID, which was what I expected. And $regionnumber goes to 100, how can that be when I have only 25 regions?
I cannot for the life of me understand how to achieve what I want. And I have tried *all* variants I can think of. I have also checked similar postings

but I still don't get it.
Does anyone know how to achieve what I want?
Is it even possible?
