note namer plugin for midi editor

[schwa]

----

Update July 2008: This plugin still works, but is obsolete in Reaper, because Reaper now lets you edit MIDI note names individually (double-right-click the note in the MIDI editor) or in bulk (MIDI editor file -> load note names from file).

The Reaper MIDI note name file format is the same as the one used by the plugin, so all of the note map files posted in this thread should work in Reaper.

Note: this is not a JS effect, it's a VST plugin that must go wherever you keep your VST plugins.

Here is a basic plugin to name notes in the REAPER midi editor.

Write a note name txt file that consists of lines of "number name", like

100 kick
101 snare rim
102 snare drag

etc, as many or as few notes as you want. Then load the plugin onto a track, bring up the midi editor, select view -> named notes, and those note names should appear.

By default the plugin looks for the note name file in REAPER/Data/MIDI_note_names.txt, but if you press the "change file" button on the plugin, you can browse for a new note name file.

You can load different note namer maps on different tracks, the maps will all be saved with the project.

Some people posted some different midi drum maps (GM, etc) lower in this thread.
