How to use free sound downloads in reaper

In this case, you can vary that parameter randomly for small amounts to have a less sterile and static sound. If you apply it to parameters that have subtle effects, the result can be much more dynamic than a boring static sound.

Pitchbend Scaler is a very simple MIDI-only JSFX script that scales incoming Pitchbend messages by a specific factor, each channel has a different factor so it can be customized per-channel. This scaling is useful if the incoming pitchbend range is different than the range expected by the receiving synth after this script, and you can do it per-channel as well.

For example a factor of 0. Despite the fact that the scale factor sliders are between 0…2, you can actually use any value outside this range, even negative values which inverts the pitchbend but not as proper as the Pitchbend Inverter ; you just have to type them manually instead of moving the slider. Pitchbend Smoother is a MIDI-only JSFX script that smooths incoming Pitchbend events by slowly going from the previous value to the new value just received, with adjustable randomization and curve shape.

Both the shape and the interval can be randomized as well, but only within the range you specify. When using this script, remember that it will introduce lag in the actual pitchbend effects, by its nature. 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? No problem. You can define any kind of relationship between the notes that you want, AND tune a specific base note to whatever frequency you want. The way it works is pretty simple even though slightly more complex under the hood. It maps each input note based on a scale formula to a specific output note with Pitchbend. Furthermore, for each scale, you can change the root dynamically to a note on the scale relative to the base or key , so it still falls on the scale relative to the base, but the relationship between the notes is now around the new root.

This allows you to use ONE scale even for different chord roots but on the same scale by just supplying a MIDI note on Channel 16 corresponding to the new root. So, you can have one Just Intonation scale for example, but be able to play chords with any root and proper relationships.

You may find it a bit lame to have this restriction and with AutoHotkey but it is all pretty readable and open source so feel free to change it if you have different requirements and needs. 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.

It is an algorithmic stereo reverb that is packed with a natural and user-friendly interface to adjust the reverb according to your preferences. It includes many features such as;. If you are looking for a step sequencer, then BlueARP is your pick.

It is a programmable pattern arpeggiator. It is a simple MIDI plugin; therefore, you will need to route it to software or hardware synth. Those fond of electronic music usually use the BlueARP, but it has many other applications besides that. Programming a pattern using this is fast and comfortable so that you can never get confused.

Some additional features include;. A free to use matrix sequencer plugin, Blip is very easy to use and has an evident interference. It has up to 16 number of selectable steps, and notes per line are selectable from 3 octaves included with the display. Other features.
