That is in fact very normal for smoothing and is the whole point of it. For instance, if you have a smooth interval of ms, that means it takes half a second to go from current pitchbend to the new pitchbend that was just received.
If another event happens while it is already in one interval in other words, for that example, you send another pitchbend event before the ms are finished , it will instead go from whatever value it reached towards the new value, in another interval. For more information and a diagram explaining the curve shape values, visit its dedicated page here. The generated internal signals are calculated in the same way as the Random Smooth Signal script, but only done for pitchbends.
Then, it adds them to the input pitchbend or zero, if none. This allows you to change the incoming pitchbend and vary it randomly, but smoothly, in time. The other difference is that it also generates a different signal for each channel — they will not be the same, and each channel will have a different variation.
The purpose of this script is to add some subtle or not so subtle variations to pitchbends, or use them as a control signal for some other parameter by linking them. You can even go crazy with it, to simulate some insane pitch effects. Please see Random Smooth Signal for more information on how the randomized signal is generated and how it looks like. Even though it is similar to it, this script operates fully in the MIDI domain, no audio signals are present whatsoever, not even internally.
Lastly, please remember that the generated random smooth curve is randomly reset whenever there is a new note from an inactive channel , so there will be a discontinuity there. This is to give each brand new note that activates a given channel a different random variation and not carry over from a former note that already ended. Keeps it more natural and randomized. That is, if a Note On is encountered, it will filter out any pitchbends with a channel that does not match the channel of the note, until the next Note On is received which may change this channel.
The main purpose of this script arised from the Key Tuner. Slightly more information on its dedicated page here. It also handles the fact that negative down pitchbends are slightly more precise than positive up pitchbends values instead of , because of zero , so it does the proper conversion.
Please note that it inverts all pitchbend messages, on any channel. If you want only a specific channel inverted, then please route it accordingly in the host. One use of this script would be to link the inverted result to a synth parameter that should go the opposite way of the pitchbend. You want to time-stretch the sample itself, without affecting its pitch, but only its speed. To do that, send the pitchbend to the sampler to have the samples play faster or slower which also modifies their pitch , and then use a pitch shifter effect, with the amount of shift equal to the inverted pitchbend.
Basically, you play the sample faster and then down-pitch it back, or play it slower and then up-pitch it back. So, you just achieved crude and manual time-stretching.
This is just one example, feel free to use it for anything else. So be careful! Other MIDI events are passed through. The input audio signal that gets added to the Pitchbend is mono, and it is added to all the channels specified.
If you use it in a stereo configuration, it will probably be the left channel, so keep it in mind. As you can imagine, the purpose of this little script is to be able to manipulate Pitchbend from audio, while adding it on top of other Pitchbend messages already present. If there are no such messages, then it will simply create Pitchbend messages out of the audio signal because it is added to zero , while its precision is not limited to buffer chunks unlike ReaControlMIDI , so it is superior even if you use it only to create pitchbends out of audio signals.
Microtonal scales? Scales with more than 12 notes per octave? The Reaper plug-ins are also accessible as a separate download file for other users. With so many inbuilt features, this software is sure to pack a punch.
But if you are a professional artist that desires even more features and controls, then there are downloadable plugins available for you. You can download them according to your taste and the functionality that you need. But not all are good or useful to download. Therefore, here we will be covering the best Reaper plugins out there that you can use to enhance your functionality. It now features tons of improvements in sound quality and usability. It also has an entirely new synth, allowing more control.
It has an improved amplitude, which is very suitable for both the fast envelopes as well as slow pads. If you are confused about the setting, then there are presets already included. It also includes new filter types and as a self-resonating 64db low pass and even a notch filter. Azurite is the plugin that is easy and offers excellent control. It is a multi-voice chorus inclined towards the rich sounds and easy to use versatile controls. Unlike other choruses out there, Azurite allows for multiple simultaneous voices.
Each is having its delay line, which is modulated by separate LFOs. It results in a thicker, less wobbly, and smoother tone. It also features other essential functionalities such as;. If you are looking for a tool for creating a transformation of the audio streams, then Argotlunar is your pick. It is a real-time delay-line granulator. What it does is that it disintegrates the audio stream into grains.
Each grain has its set off random amplitude, delay, pitch, etc. Then the output of all the grains is gathered and mixed and then sent into the main production. Other features include:. OrilRiver is a plugin that can stimulate the reverberation of a large hall to a small room. You may have to restart Reaper for it to show up in the plugins list.
If you happen to be interested in learning how to use a DAW, hold up for just a bit. I wrote an article about the best way to learn a DAW that I encourage you to read! Reaper does not have built-in drums. There are also many compatible free drum plugins available from websites such as plugins4free. R eaper only has a very basic synth ReaSynth , which is probably not what you are looking fo r.
There are many freeware VST instrument synths available that work well with Reaper , which are more similar to those shipped with other DAWs. Reaper has a tuner built-in called ReaTune. It is a pitch correction plugin, but it also has a tuning mode, in which it functions as a chromatic tuner.
To use it, enable input monitoring and arm for recording the track that the instrument you want to tune is connected to. Here is some of my favorite home studio gear … Thanks for reading this article. I hope you found it helpful in your home music-making activities. Here are a few of the tools that I personally use in my home studio. Audio interface: My personal choice for audio interfaces are the Focusrite Scarlett series.
I have been using these for years, and they have always given me great-sounding recordings. For a very reasonable price from zZounds. Amp sim: Guitar amplifier simulator software has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, such that I record all my electric guitar parts using amp sims these days.
One of the very best is the incredible Amplitube from IK Multimedia, which I have used on many of my songs. Headphones for recording: My favorite headphones for recording are the Sony MDRs, which I use for monitoring during all my recording sessions. They can also be found in many pro recording studios.
To see all of my most up-to-date recommendations, check out this resource I made for you! Paul is the owner of Home Music Creator. He plays the piano and the guitar, and sings in a just-about-adequate manner. He has been writing and recording music in his home studio for over 20 years.
