Dynamic Split and Batch item Converet in Reaper



https://youtu.be/qV6HsOFYFeU?si=QVRm6VrN67YX3WDD

This video provides a comprehensive tutorial on creating a drum sample library in REAPER, a digital audio workstation (0:00). The process involves recording drum samples from a hardware drum machine and then organizing and exporting them for use within REAPER's ResampleOmatic 5000 sampler (0:06-1:11).

Here's a breakdown of the key steps:Recording and initial organization: The presenter begins by showcasing a project where various drum samples—kicks, snares, claps, hi-hats, crashes, and effects—have been recorded sequentially (0:20).

Dynamic splitting: The video demonstrates how to use REAPER's "dynamic split" feature to automatically cut individual drum hits into separate items, ensuring each sample is an independent audio file (1:34). This involves adjusting the threshold and trailing pad settings to avoid multiple hits and preserve the sound's decay (2:02-2:46).

Batch file conversion: The separate audio items are then exported as individual WAV files using the "batch file item converter" (3:05). The presenter shows how to organize these files into subfolders (e.g., "kicks," "snares") and how to name them using wildcards for sequential numbering (3:46-4:18).

Importing into ResampleOmatic 5000: The tutorial explains how to import these exported samples into REAPER's sampler. It highlights the use of the "media explorer" for easy previewing and drag-and-drop functionality for adding samples to the plugin (5:44-6:47).

MIDI keyboard triggering: The presenter demonstrates how to assign specific samples to different MIDI notes on a keyboard, effectively turning REAPER into a drum machine (6:52-7:20).

Efficient sample switching: The video concludes by showcasing how the created sample library allows for quick and easy switching between different drum sounds directly within the sampler plugin (10:18-11:14), streamlining the workflow for future projects.

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...

Grid size increase/decrease button on toolbar

I want to add shortcut in toolbar for increasing and decreasing grid size  Perfect idea 👍 Putting grid size increase/decrease on a toolbar in REAPER makes it way faster than going through menus. Here’s how you can set it up step by step: 🎯 Step 1: Find the Actions Open the MIDI editor (piano roll). Go to Actions → Show action list (or press ? ). In the Section dropdown, select MIDI Editor . Search for: Grid: Increase grid size Grid: Decrease grid size 🎯 Step 2: Add to Toolbar Still in the Action List, select the action (e.g. Grid: Increase grid size ). Click the Add to toolbar… button at the bottom. If you want it in the main MIDI editor toolbar , pick MIDI editor toolbar . Repeat for Grid: Decrease grid size . 🎯 Step 3: Customize Icons (Optional) After adding, right-click the toolbar → Customize toolbar . You can choose different icons (like “+” and “–”) or even text labels. ✅ Now you’ll have two buttons in your MIDI ...
