+ MIDI editor: add UI scaling support

+ Mouse modifiers: add modifiers to adjust loop section length by dragging loop divider notch or item edges

Many thanks for these!

The "move by tiny bit" is especially welcome, because this action shows the change in value in envelope control panel, while a custom script I had written for this did not.

Thanks for the update!

Here's a problem I encountered after updating from v6.03 to v6.04: an entire row of dead space above the main toolbar. Picture: https://i.imgur.com/dpvNnxS.png

I've tried fiddling with various toolbar-related settings and also resetting all toolbars to defaults, to no avail. I'm using the standard v6 theme, but this seems to happen with other themes as well.

Anyone know what to do?

MIDI editor much nicer! Thanks!

weird, had some of my old projects not load after the update. Tried a couple times, then went back and reinstalled 6.03 and all is well.

Yes!
The latest PDF manual now has working content links that jumps to the page.
(Reaper User Guide 604g)
That hasn't functioned in a very long time, and many versions ago. I know there is a thread about it somewhere.
I'm always using Sumatra pdf reader.
Thanks!

So much good stuff in this update!

Thank God for sending me Reaper.

A corrupt PLAY file was the toot of my problem with the new Reaper build. All is well now.

I can not believe it. A wonder. Now I am no longer laughed at by my Ableton Live brothers.

Great! I waited for this for ages - thank you! But WHY does this not work on Midi items? It's still so painful to adjust the length of the looped section of a Midi item: Delete all copies, adjust item length and redo all copies. Or switch to inline editor and move the item source end marker - which is exactly what the new mouse modifier does, but only for audio items!

What about Glide feature in reasamplomatic? I'm waiting for it... I think the arrangers will agree with me. This is the only thing I'm missing from this program.

You are not missing 8 or 16 stereo outputs in Reasamplomatic, also with output assignment per sample? This is what I am missing mostly.

[mschnell]

As obviously stated in the first post of this thread, this release has nothing at all to do with Reasamplomatic. So totally off-topic.

For Feature Requests Cockos happily provides a dedicated forum.

Welcome, anyway...

One of the most requested feature over years. But Cockos remains stubborn.

[mschnell]

Very happily they stubbornly continue to improve the basic product instead of deviating to seldom used free courtesy add-on plugins with funny names.

Not required anymore, it should be possible doing it via scripting and setting the pins accordingly, if not done already. It is not a single RS5k, but those can sit in same track, so ok, 1 RS5k per output, also a flexible solution. You can continue not improving RS5k.
