recording midi into reaper

[Erufailon]

I was going to ask why u wanted keyswitches for choirs Use wordbuilder, doesn't get better than that

So I finally completed a test, and I didn't have the recording problems that you discussed in your first post. Does this happen when you only have several rules being called at once, or does it also happen when only one rule is called at a time?

[Erufailon]

Well, all my rules have a reset rule, that applies by default, then other rules overwrite it if the apply as well. So all my notes have a C0 KS then the other ones. And it plays back fine in reaper, just doesn't record fine.

Just out of curiosity, did you disarm the channel (for recording) after you've recorded the tracks? You may have conflicting keyswitches if you have MIDI information in the the track and try to playback while Notion is open.

I removed rewire, so Notion didn't play back.

Can you upload a couple of audio demos? One of a sample during rewire mode and one after you try to record the MIDI into Reaper?

[pcartwright]

Also, before you get to the demos, check out page 232 of the Reaper manual (http://reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide367c.pdf).

I didn't even know this option existed until a few minutes ago. It sounds like this could be the culprit in your recording dilemma.

Here are two mp3 files:

notion.mp3

(126.5 KiB) Downloaded 741 times

reaper.mp3

Notion.mp3 is played back and recorded by reaper, but reaper only acting as the vsti host and the recording software, so it receives all the midi events from notion.

Reaper.mp3 is exactly the same, but I first recorded the midi playback from notion into reaper, then played that midi back in reaper and recorded the result. I can't find any place where I enabled any kind of quantization, I specificaly turned it off in the track controls as shown in the manual, yet keyswitches are obviously off, and I can't figure out why.

BTW, these are some random notes, I'm using at the moment to write rules for Reallpc, this is the demo of that, hoping it will arrive today (UPS says so)

I am, for the moment, stumped; I haven’t been able to replicate your issue yet.

Do you have any other rewire programs that send MIDI info back to the host, and if so, do you have the same issues?

I’m assuming that a rule adding a keyswitch on a note prefix would record the keyswitch a fraction of a second before the sounding note. It might be good, if you haven’t done so already, to get a visual on the notes in the piano roll and see if the keyswitch turns records prior to the notated pitch.

I've been thinking about this recently; I'm convinced that the issue must be with a Reaper setting. You might try looking through the Reaper forum for an answer or maybe trying to reset all the Reaper settings to default to see if this helps.
