Default DONE: Show the program change names in the item

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:

Oh man. Big +1. That would be really great to have visual representation of articulation changes right in the arrange page.

Yes and Reaper would be the only DAW featuring that. No other DAW does that

I don't get it... A MIDI Program Change command just sends a program (patch, preset, whatever the particular device calls it) number to the device. How is Reaper going to know the name of that program?

Or do I misunderstand?

In screenshot #2 there are names assigned to the values (MIDI Editor). So Reaper would show the names instead of the values.

The PC (program change) name is displayed in the Bank / Program Select lane in the midi editor. So Reaper already knows what it is. Stevie is suggesting instead of the PC name only being shown in the midi editor, it also be displayed in the midi item in the arrange page.

Since it is already displaying "PC" it really shouldn't be that hard to display the PC name from the bank/program select lane instead. It's just a midi message that can be easily read.

Just in case it's unclear, he's asking for the circled PC names to be shown in the arrange page items instead of "PC"

Aha! So you already gave Reaper the names associated to the PC numbers. OK, I get it. Sorry.

Yes, that looks like a good idea.
Thanks.

Yes exactly, the names have already been assigned. Thanks for supporting the idea!

Hah, hadn't seen that request, otherwise I would have jumped in.
Thanks!

+1 this would be really great.

(Would also be amazing if you could "glue" program change events to individual notes, but that's a FR for another time )
