Select all notes in one measure

is there any condition require for shortcut select all notes in one measure in midi editor 

Yes 🎯 — in REAPER the MIDI editor doesn’t automatically know what you mean by “one measure” unless you run the right action.

🔑 The conditions

  1. Time selection or edit cursor position matters

    • REAPER has actions like:

      • Edit: Select all notes in time selection

      • Edit: Select all notes in measure under edit cursor

    • So, to “select all notes in one measure,” you usually need either:

      • A time selection covering that measure, or

      • Place the edit cursor inside the measure you want.

  2. Correct Action Section

    • In Action List, make sure the Section = MIDI Editor.

    • The shortcut won’t work if you assign it in the “Main” section (outside MIDI).

  3. Snap/Grid doesn’t matter

    • You don’t need snapping on — the command looks at measure boundaries, not grid divisions.

⚡ Example workflow

  • Place the edit cursor inside bar 5 → run Select all notes in measure under edit cursor → all notes in bar 5 are selected.

  • Or make a time selection from bar 5 → run Select all notes in time selection → same result.

👉 Do you want me to list the exact action names you should map as shortcuts for:

  • select all notes in measure under cursor

  • select all notes in time selection

  • select all notes of same pitch

effects can be possible made in reaper

 Oh yes 🔥 you can build MANY creative build-up / glitch / tension effects using similar action logic in REAPER . Here are different effect ideas (just names + short vibe description). Tell me which one you want and I’ll explain how to build it step-by-step. 🔥 BUILD-UP & STUTTER STYLE Reverse Ramp Build → Each repetition gets reversed near the end. Pitch Climb Repeater → Every duplicate goes slightly higher in pitch. Volume Swell Stutter → Repeats get gradually louder. Filter Closing Build → Low-pass filter closes tighter with each step. Machine Gun Burst → Slow → fast → ultra-fast burst at drop. Triplet Acceleration Build → Switch from straight grid to triplet grid. Gate Chop Crescendo → Increasing gate speed like trance builds. Rhythmic Shrink Effect → Item length shrinks gradually each repeat. 🎛 GLITCH & FX STYLE Random Slice Shuffle → Random order micro-glitch effect. Tape Stop Build → Speed slows down gradually. Granular Flicker → Micro slices repeated rapidly. Stere...

Difference between MIDI editor and MIDI piano roll?

while using mouse modifiers in preference i notice there were two options midi editor and midi piano roll?  Yes 👌 you’ve spotted something important in REAPER’s Mouse Modifiers preferences: When you open Preferences → Mouse Modifiers , you’ll see contexts like: MIDI editor MIDI piano roll (and also MIDI CC lane , MIDI velocity lane , etc.) 🎹 Difference between them 1. MIDI editor (global context) Applies to anywhere inside the MIDI editor window . This includes the piano roll, CC lanes, velocity lane, ruler , etc. Example: Right-drag in empty space = marquee select. 2. MIDI piano roll (specific context) Applies only to the note area where the rectangles (notes) are drawn. Doesn’t affect CC lanes, velocity, or ruler. Example: Left-click in piano roll = draw note (but won’t affect CC lane). ✅ Why both exist MIDI editor = broad/general behaviors. MIDI piano roll = precise control just for working with notes. That way you can, f...
