 Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2018 9:00 pm Post subject: Working in Daw |
 |
|
My workflow with Jamstix would be much easier if I could select a measure in the song section and have my DAW start at that location.
I know I can preview a bar in the Bar Editor. But I want to hear how that bar sounds in context. So if I could just roll my mouse over the measure (cool feature btw!) I want to start from and hit the space bar twice to hear what I just created/altered
Also wouldn't it be nice in the Bar Editor when you right click on a 'note/drum/sound' that one of the options would be "Mute" so that you could preview the bar without that one note. |

Unfortunately communication is a one way street in that the DAW can tell the VSTi what to do but not vice versa. I modified and use a script for Reaper which allows me to position the play cursor to any measure I want. If you're using Reaper I'll gladly give it to you.
While a mute option would be nice as you point out, you can accomplish the same thing using ctrl-x & ctrl-v to cut and paste the note you want to review. |

Hi Jason,
It's actually me2beats script, I just made some mods because it went to the wrong measure as it was written. Here's the code:
| Code: | -- @description Go to measure
-- @version 1.0
-- @author me2beats
-- @changelog
-- + init
local r = reaper
local retval, msr = r.GetUserInputs("Go to measure", 1, "Go to measure:", "")
if not retval then return end
msr = tonumber(msr - 1)
if not msr or msr < 0 then return end
msr = math.floor(msr+.5)
local time = r.TimeMap_GetMeasureInfo(0, msr)
local play_st = r.GetPlayState()
if (play_st == 0 or play_st == 2) and r.GetCursorPosition() == time then return end
r.Undo_BeginBlock()
r.SetEditCurPos2(0, time, 0, 1)
r.Undo_EndBlock('Go to measure'..' '..(msr + 1), 0) |
Enjoy!

| Oh sorry about that Jason, yes it's LUA. What are you referring to about "offsets"? |

| Yeah, the script is going to go to whatever measure you tell it to in Reaper and has no idea what any VSTi is set to do. |
