Glad it was easy to fix that ruler glitch. Well done

Good stuff!

Just FYI - the marquee zooming issue with collapsed folder tracks has popped back up again on this version. If the edge of the marquee crosses over into a fully collapsed folder track then it doesn't zoom correctly -

Thanks so much for the latest additions!

Seeing a lot of support for the "show program change names in item", I thought I would bring it back on the table. Given the fact that "PC" is already shown in the item, my guess would be that it's relatively easy to implement?


As shown below:


This would be very useful for articulation management as well as for other scenarios (like synths).

So instead of only showing "PC" in the item, it would show: "staccato", "short", "tremolo", or "23 MOOG BASS"




That's how it looks in the ME:

Definitely in favor of this. Especially if support for VST program names is being added. Makes sense that you would want that displayed in the arrange and the midi editor so it's consistent across the board.

Yeah if you use ReaBanks then that should of course be supported, too. I mean it works by default in bank/program lane, we should be able to see that on the item itself.

We are late in the development cycle for adding something like MIDI program names in the arrange view, but it might happen in a later cycle.

Thanks for always listening to us. I don't worry about how long it takes you DEVs to implement a feature request anymore because you guys always get to them eventually.

That'd be really appreciated by many of us, thanks schwa.

Related, this build mentions "expand hit area for bank/program markers" but it's not tagged with a topic. Is that related to this post or just a coincidence? (It sounds like item 1 in that post.)

Yeah. I wonder when we'll see articulation management that was abandoned after v5.32 or something...

Can realbank just follow items or tracks? In practice, it is necessary to load different realbanks for different items or tracks. The current settings seem to be global.

Not sure when this started happening, but ReaDelay has some issues with label background colors...



EDIT: ReaEQ, ReaPitch, and ReaXComp as well.


And then there are these:






Even LICEcap has the above issue in its save dialog. Would be nice to have these sorted out Not at the end of this release cycle, of course, but please consider having MORE VISUAL CONSISTENCY at least in dialog colors and stuff (for example, all your dialogs and warnings etc. should follow W10 dark mode, and not as half-assed as the above save project example)... This really matters.

Same here, not sure exacly but arround v5.983+dev0901 - September 1 2019 in ReaEQ I seen those slider backgrounds on win7.

@edit
As for these backgrounds in some windows you must live with this because most of community see this appealing to them and those OS elements guarantee more overall stability and speed .

But there's no reason not to obey W10 dark mode if it's enabled, across the board.

The reason is to torture windows 10 users 😁

I guess it is difficult to have to be compatible with all operating systems all the time and their updates. It will be all Linux soon, hopefully.

Well, that's an incorrect reason, because obviously Reaper is using dark mode for the save/load project dialogs If I disable dark mode, those dialogs go back to the drab old gray.

So, conclusion is that dark mode is not UWP-only, because default File Explorer in Windows is not UWP either. Which means Win32 might have some API for this (or, in some cases like with those file dialogs, there's an automatic conversion). Which means if that's true, Reaper can use that. I'm spitballing, of course, but this seems plausible.

UWP Explorer looks like this.


EDIT: After a bit of googling, while the state of light/dark mode is not directly exposed to Win32 through an API, a Win32 program can query registry:

Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize
REG_DWORD AppsUseLightTheme = 0x00000000 // dark mode for programs
REG_DWORD AppsUseLightTheme = 0x00000001 // light mode for programs
REG_DWORD SystemUseLightTheme = 0x00000000 // dark mode for OS chrome
REG_DWORD SystemUseLightTheme = 0x00000001 // light mode for OS chrome

A native implementation wouldn't go amiss, tho. It could integrate better, workflow-wise.

I likely will at some point pivot from program changes. Really all I want is a slightly more flexible system than what we have now for custom notation:
  1. notation MIDI text events MUST ALWAYS be sent ahead of the notes they are attached to
  2. removal of the 'custom' prefix in the CC lane (it a visual wart which takes up space and adds minimal value)
  3. ability to assign metadata to the notation that is passed in the MIDI event but otherwise not user-visible (even just a number would be good, analogous to program numbers)
  4. visibility of notation events from arrange view
  5. ability to tag multiple custom notations for a given note would be a bonus

With these things, Reaticulate could probably move from program events to notation events while preserving most (all?) of the same functionality. I'd like to move this way because of the ability to assign specific custom notation to notes, as opposed to program changes which are decoupled from notes.

This sounds like a great idea! this way, we can use the notation editor to add our articulations which would solve the issue of selecting notes doesn't always select the program change in the CC lane below! It will look much nicer too since we'd have a visual display on sheet music, which would work well for those who orchestrate music!

I expect to keep the basic UI of Reaticulate just because IMO it's better at managing large numbers of articulations and assigning them, but technically it could work from directly within the notation editor too.

But anyway, the idea isn't viable without some of the changes mentioned above. Most of things I mentioned are cosmetic, admittedly, but #1 and #3 are big pain points. Receiving notation MIDI events after note-on means two passes over the incoming MIDI events: one to gather and cache the notation and events, and another to process/route the other events. And not being able to associate custom metadata to notation events (a numeric value specifically) means a lot of string matching would be needed in the JSFX. And I don't see a hash map type structure in EEL (nor would I expect one), which means each mapping an incoming MIDI text event to a Reaticulate articulation is O(n) with respect to the number of articulations on the track.

So, yeah, I'm making the best of life with program change events until interest is rekindled in articulation maps.

Hey guys, this might be the last inconsistency between the new CC curves and the Envelope Lane behaviours that pretty negatively impacts workflow.

Here's an incredibly common pitch curve for automating say, a sliding bass.



In the envelope lane we have the luxury of "Prevent mouse edits of single envelope points from moving past other envelope points" to quickly bam-bam create that perfect curve.

In CC, it's almost impossible to do without finicking around and getting a less than ideal result. This could be corrected with extending the above Preference to CC points as well.


ps...i know CCs are instantaneous and cannot be both 0 and -64 (for example) at the same time, but obviously the Envelope Lane is handling that behaviour somehow (with a tiny fade?). Anyways, something worth looking at for us MIDI folk...as CCs curves are at 99% functionality afaik!

1. the order of note events and the notation events they own, seems like it should be pretty solvable on the script side, given that the notation event should always be the very next event received after the note-on.

Code:
for (i=1; i <= num_events; ++i)
  if (i < num_events and event[i] is notation) process_note_with_notation(event[i-1], event[i])
  else process(event[i-1])
3. can you suggest how you think the API should look for this? (feel free to direct to another thread)

4. lack of hash map: keeping your list sorted and implementing a basic binary search function would be the usual way to get the performance improvement without adding complexity. This can normally be done with 6-8 lines of code. I just did a quick search and REAPER itself contains at least 21 separate binary search implementations, in addition to at several generic/template implementations in WDL (see WDL_AssocArrayImpl::LowerBound) -- it's almost always easier to just re-implement it in context than to keep making a general implementation more general.
