Looping a section of a MIDI file is generally not well supported, because MIDI is a beat-based media source, but section looping is managed in time (seconds). It's already disabled in the media item properties dialog. Unlike with audio, there's very little cost to creating a new MIDI item if you want to make edits for looping.

ohh ok technically only you know , .. i didnt test that much in midi items but it seems to work just fine there. If it takes a bit more processing maybe this could be our option?
Anyway Thanks

Erm, I was using this in old projects... And it worked just fine?


EDIT: OH WAIT, I thought you meant this removes loop source for MIDI items. Nah, it's just mouse modifiers. I suppose this is ok, I did notice in previous build that using them breaks the note preview of MIDI items in arrange...

This maybe related, sometimes I get random tooltips appearing from elements behind active window. It's quite difficult to reproduce, usually it appears if mouse is moved faster.

For example here is MCP tooltip above Track Manager window:

Can't we can already change loop length in MIDI editor? How is doing it from the arrange any different?

I've been seeing the tooltips popping through other windows I have running, like switching between REAPER and a web browser, I'll see a tooltip in front of stuff in the browser and have to switch back to REAPER and hover to get it to go away.

It must be happening as I go to click the button on the taskbar to switch to the browser or whatever the other application is, but I'm not stopping the mouse and hovering over anything in REAPER as I switch tasks.

Thanks! This makes Track List in MIDI Editor much easier to work with on HiDPI monitors.

I am also wondering about this. A MIDI item can be looped, and resizing loop area of a MIDI item works by moving the 'MIDI source loop end marker' in MIDI editor.

I would think that "Adjust loop section start/end" - or at least "end" - would do the same to a MIDI item as what moving 'MIDI source loop end marker' does?

Thank you devs! Works good when i split an item that it doesn't loop, but if i split an item that it's looping, it doesn't as shown in the gif:

Ive seen the hanging tooltips over fx windows too like other ppl reported.

In my case it was a TCP tooltip that remained on top of a FX window and I coulsnt identify how it happened sorry

We can change the loop length of MIDI but it does not use section of MIDI source. It will change the whole source. For example, shortening MIDI loop lenght will erase all notes outside the loop.
Here is comparison of MIDI vs audio looping. Audio supports looping section of source, MIDI does not.

Regarding midi items, wouldn’t it be better for the workflow if we could set the loop and drag the division notch as we can do with audio?

It would be more flexible and consistent to support also looping section of MIDI source. Same way as in audio items.
Creating a new MIDI item for looping part of existing item is a different workflow and does not allow same kind of creative experimentation as loop section editing.
Is it really difficult to implement in Reaper?
Ableton Live supports consistent loop section editing for both audio and MIDI.

Loop section editing of audio items works already pretty well.
Here are some things that could improve usability
  • Add mouse modifier "Move loop section contents". I.e. without ignoring snap
  • New mouse cursors for loop section edit operations
  • Show start/end of media source when loop section is enabled
  • Snap to start/end of media source when editing loop sections

Now that Reaper is getting really good at looping, it would great if - when moving item contents - the entire audio or midi file would display outside the item borders. The content outside the item could be displayed like the waveform used for automation tracks.

Speaking of looping..

I'm still really hoping to see `2nd pass` rendering come in for 6.1 at least.

Without it. Creating seamless loops means creating 2 projects to do it. Takes so much longer.

Its very old problem(bug).
1.Open FX window and pin it so it doesn't hide behind the Mixer(which is on another monitor)
2.Close FX(plugin) window.
3.Add another plugin in chain.
4.Open 1st plugin window and its unpinned now.
Why?
Please fix this bug or make Plugins windows never hide behind the Mixer window by default

Beginning from version 6rc6, the cursor "arrange_timeitemsel" is no longer displayed at the bottom of the item. Instead, "arrange_marquee" cursor remains.
Two versions for comparison:

6rc6 and higher




6rc5 and below

Default Another fast way to loop the source

Some thoughts about the native action loop audio source for fast looping.
It would be really nice if we could have a similar action that when we trigger it, it would set the loop start/end, only to an item that it is not looping.
It would be very useful if we had this, in order to add it at media item left click default modifier, so that each time we click an item that is not looping (thus not showing any notch divider), it would set the loop start/end fast. (Very useful when we split the item)
*But it shouldn’t set the loop to an item that is already looping, because it would remove the source that’s already there and would set a new start/end length...

*Another nice way and probably the best would be, if there was another modifier for track left drag that would allow us, after we ‘ve clicked an item, to draw a copy of the selected item while looping its source
This fast way is similar to FL, where you click the item and paint the loop fast, from the latest item that we clicked.
And it might be more useful than having an action at media item left click to loop the source, because if we split an item and select the part that we ‘ve split to loop it, sometimes we might want to select back again the original item and expand the edge without looping it.

Yes, to be honest this is a very irritating behavior that is encountered on every mix.

Making a FX plugin window appear could (should ) always be on top of anything else. Other wise what commonly happen is that you may have a large FX window that is already pinned and when you try to open another FX it will be smaller and hidden behind the bigger one for example, this is terrible.
You are then wondering why the "damn" plugin is not appearing until you realize its hidden behind a EQ plugin lol

Making newly openned / create FX windows be always visible would be super useful and a big relief of stress :P thanks in advance for considerations


This is a reasonnable feature request that has been there for a bit of time and its directly linked to this topic: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....ghlight=plugin
Its a collection of infos related to FX plugins window management, but don't look only at the original post as people have suggested some other ideas that may complement each other

Would be great if we could somehow (optionally) use stretch markers on audio source level. Currently stretch markers work only on item level. This means that we can't loop stretch markers and almost any kind of loop section editing will ruin existing stretch marker edits.

I thought of it few times too, if I understand correctly, you ‘ re saying that you want the stretch marker to loop together with the source, at the same position at each section?

The track list only looks good on a 2560x1440 display when scaled to 200% which is far too big at that resolution. 150% scaling makes the track list look like a zoomed in low res jpeg.


Another thing which is probably more related to linux rather than Reaper is when running reaper in a gnome DE with the DE scaled above 100%, reaper does detect the scaling & scale up everything but the cursor on the arrange view, ie. Rubberband seleting items, dragging the edge of items. Then the mouse is tiny, but when over items or in the TCP & mcp the mouse cursor is sized normally.


I mostly set scaling via the reaper.ini because linux is such a mixed bag right now, especially if you want to use fractional scaling.

Finally i started using reaper for my future productions1 and immediatly felt the pitty of this "disabling".
So i Need to bring this back:
With so manny options and stuff being asked ! i would like to ask to bring this back and as an option! if there is a cost, it's still our option because this is really useful, and for my use coherent (specially since it is possible) it is a pity this feature being disabled ... please make this an option , This is very useful for electronic productions!

Also there is a modifier missing to fully make the cake complete:
We should be able to move loop section contents according to snap . Specially since in general with snapping is more useful then without , but both are important.

That's item (source) looping which is different to section looping, no?
(With section looping you can have a unlooped starting part and later on just loop a - section of the source.)

Maybe I misunderstood what you're asking.
