Hey guys!

Just pushed v1.8.0 of REAPER-Notator, and it brings some much-requested workflow upgrades:

We now have an integrated MIDI Velocity & CC Lane Editor docked right on the screen. You can tweak velocities with handles, draw smooth linear CC curves (all 128 CCs supported), and interact with your automation in real-time for super fast iterations.

On top of that, Real and Fake Portamentos (hold-blending) and Glissandi are now fully implemented and audible in playback!

Also, huge thanks to everyone who reported issues with the SINE Player — the note audition and preview bug is officially solved and working cleanly now. Under the hood, the entire playback engine was overhauled to stay pinned at 30–70+ FPS even with 30+ tracks running.

I have integrated like plus 40 new features, and i think i need to create also a fully fledged documentation of all functions as well as videos. Best bit so far: New Midi Pattern Browser. Ive invested over a 1000 dollars into this dev so far, and it really has come far .. almost a full fledged industry standard notation editor for realistic playback. It will stay free forever.

• Score Engraving: 60 FPS native ReaImGui vector rendering with Bravura (SMuFL), multi-track score view, automatic Grand Staff detection, and standard notation rules (proper rest decomposition, tuplets, beams, ties, slurs).
• 16-Voice Polyphony: Dedicated voice channels (1–16), automated overlap splitting (Auto-Voice), smart pitch conflict resolution, and adjustable ghost note opacity.
• Dynamics & Expression: Integrated CC1/CC11 dynamic markers, scalable hairpins, Bézier curve text dynamics (cresc./dim.), CC64 sustain pedal lines, and octave transpositions (8va/8vb).
• Pattern Browser: 1,000+ curated orchestral patterns, live auditioning through any chosen project instrument, canvas drag-and-drop with alignment ghosts, and custom MIDI capture.
• Editing & Integration: Mouse draw & keyboard step-input (C–B), note auditioning, universal clipboard, advanced quantization, shortcut manager, and full REAPER undo & project persistence.

So this is a small update of the video and sneak peak that i have dropped two days ago.. I had a great breakthrough yesterday which seriously reduces the development time. So i believe for now all remaining bugs can be removed within the next few weeks to be able to release a first version of this on ReaPack.

Rearticulate can now be used as a direct extension of Reaper Notator, which is fantastic. (as a disclaimer: i have not changed anything in rearticulate, i also found a nice way to read out the bank values of the rearticulate bank settings file. )

Hi guys!

I've been a long time Reaper user for about the last 16 years, and I've created ReaFlex to fill a gap I've had in convenient vocal re-synthesis and re-pitching.

I wanted it to be working from right within Reaper's dock, and to seamlessly work with the existing systems.

It started as a frontend for ReaPitch in the form of a lua script, but I wanted to take it further, and made a ReaFlex resynth backend in JSFX. It defaults to the ReaFlex resynth backend, but you can choose Reaper Native (ReaPitch) if you want to use the front end only!

It's pretty early on, but I've come a long way in the last month with the use of AI. I would like to be upfront about that. It hasn't been a matter of "make melodyne 2 please", I've done a tremendous amount of testing and diagnostics. That being said, I understand if it puts you off.

So far you can:

• Analyse a clip (The analysis side isn't 100% at the moment, so some fiddling can be necessary if it comes out awkwardly)
• Pick a scale
• Move notes up and down
• Delete/Merge/Split/Create notes
• Centre pitch
• Smooth or exaggerate vibrato
• Make manual glides between notes, otherwise it defaults to crossfades which usually sounds more natural
• Render take if you'd like to save space
• Have your edits persist between Reaper sessions, as the data is saved right to the project file

You can find a (very rough) demo on the website: https://amicodingwell.github.io/ReaFlex/#demo

Here’s the download link (it’s about one megabyte in size!):

If you would like to help by providing vocal takes it can help the analyser tremendously, otherwise I'd love to hear any feedback. :)

As a little Info for all the people who want to flame again why i did not edited and fine tuned the video. I don't fine tuned the video its a live recording. So when you don't have interest on a Chord Track tool inside of Reaper skip the 11 minutes. ;-)

i coded a easy Chord Follower Chord Track feature for Reaper that is easy to use.
The Chord Track runs based on a Background Process that can be started with a button.

Captured on a mini pro 5 filmed in HLG and color graded in Davinci Resolve Studio 21.

The final footage was denoised with Neat Video. The Music was written by myself in Staffpad and finalized in Reaper.
