ReaKS - A new Keyswitch/Articulation tool for Reaper

[Kabraxis]

Introducing
ReaKS

​

In the past few weeks, while pondering about how an internal Reaper articulation manager should behave, I come up with a simpler and straightforward tool for inserting KeySwitches to MIDI items. Of course there's tack's awesome Reaticulate out there already, but I was looking for a simpler and straightforward tool with some extra features.

So, here's ReaKS!
Have a quick look:

ReaKS utilizes Note Names feature of Reaper to set itself up automatically, so it's refreshingly easy to prepare your track.
Some quick features:

• Adding/removing KeySwitch notes into the MIDI editor over a UI
• Tracking active KeySwitch under playhead
• Visualise KeySwitches on Arrange View (over Text Events)
• Note Name Injector for blazingly fast setup
• Focus and Alias CC event lanes

Here's a crash course how to get it going:

​

Installation:

• Find it over ReaPack
• The action will be added to MIDI Editor section

More Note Names:
You can find ready-to use note name maps (and a donation button) here:

I hope someone but me finds it useful!

Cheers,

Very cool! Haven't had a chance to check it out yet, so excuse the stupid question: How does this handle latching keyswitches?

It actually doesn't handle any logic. It just helps you to insert Keyswitch MIDI notes into the MIDI item, but does it in a smart way
