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

  1. Reverse Ramp Build
    → Each repetition gets reversed near the end.

  2. Pitch Climb Repeater
    → Every duplicate goes slightly higher in pitch.

  3. Volume Swell Stutter
    → Repeats get gradually louder.

  4. Filter Closing Build
    → Low-pass filter closes tighter with each step.

  5. Machine Gun Burst
    → Slow → fast → ultra-fast burst at drop.

  6. Triplet Acceleration Build
    → Switch from straight grid to triplet grid.

  7. Gate Chop Crescendo
    → Increasing gate speed like trance builds.

  8. Rhythmic Shrink Effect
    → Item length shrinks gradually each repeat.

🎛 GLITCH & FX STYLE

  1. Random Slice Shuffle
    → Random order micro-glitch effect.

  2. Tape Stop Build
    → Speed slows down gradually.

  3. Granular Flicker
    → Micro slices repeated rapidly.

  4. Stereo Jump Glitch
    → Alternates left/right each hit.

  5. Bitcrush Intensifier
    → Distortion increases every repeat.

  6. Reverse–Forward Alternator
    → One normal, one reversed, repeat.

🎹 RHYTHMIC ENERGY EFFECTS

  1. Snare Roll Builder
    → Classic EDM snare build with grid changes.

  2. Kick Fill Accelerator
    → Kick becomes more dense near drop.

  3. Offbeat Pulse Builder
    → Starts on downbeat, shifts offbeat gradually.

  4. Polyrhythm Tension Builder
    → 1/4 against 1/8 then 1/16 layering.

  5. Syncopated Build Ramp
    → Builds using syncopation instead of straight hits.

🌊 ATMOSPHERIC BUILD EFFECTS

  1. Reverb Tail Stretch Build
    → Each repeat increases reverb tail.

  2. Delay Feedback Escalation
    → Delay feedback increases gradually.

  3. White Noise Pulse Build
    → Noise gated in rhythmic acceleration.

  4. Filter Sweep Repeater
    → Repeated slice + moving filter sweep.

💀 ADVANCED / CRAZY ONES

  1. Exponential Speed Build
    → Not linear (1/4 → 1/8 → 1/16), but exponential.

  2. Glitch Explosion Before Drop
    → Random micro slices just before silence.

  3. Silence Gap Tension
    → Gradually insert small silent gaps.

  4. Pitch Down Collapse
    → Instead of building up, pitch drops into drop.

  5. Micro Fade Pulse
    → Each slice has tiny fade in/out creating tremolo feel.

Pick 1–3 names and I’ll:

  • Break down how it works

  • Tell you what actions are needed

  • Suggest cleaner modern method

  • Suggest best sound type to use it on

Which ones sound interesting to you? 🚀

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 ...
