Version 4.0 Changelog
Like the legs of a giraffe
•MIDI editing:
◦Set user-definable scales and chords in the MIDI editor for drawing and editing notes
◦Using mouse modifiers, copy/duplicate/paste actions can create pooled (ghosted) in-project MIDI source data
◦Editing any pooled MIDI media item affects all media items that share the same pooled data
◦Un-pool shared MIDI by gluing the media item or via MIDI source properties dialog
◦New MIDI Contents menu for switching MIDI editor between different MIDI media items in the project
◦MIDI filter improvements when displaying multiple media items in the same editor
◦Many new mouse modifier behaviors to paint notes and chords, edit arpeggios, etc
•Mouse modifier customization:
◦Customize mouse behavior when using keyboard modifiers in 40 different contexts
◦In many contexts, mouse click and mouse drag can be customized separately
◦Assign different behaviors to the mouse when over the top or bottom half of a media item
◦Assign any action (including custom actions) to mouse click or double-click in most contexts
◦Existing/legacy mouse preferences are preserved, but user changes to mousemap settings will override
◦Actions to reassign default mouse action for any context
•Theme layout support:
◦Fully themeable UI, allowing repositioning/removal/addition of UI elements
◦Per-track TCP/MCP layout support
◦Screensets support saving/restoring layouts
◦Old themes use default layouts available in Plugins/default_layouts.txt
◦New themes can define their own layouts
◦Layouts can be switched via menu, screensets/layouts dialog, or customizable actions
•Media Explorer:
◦Select a portion of a media file to insert into a project
◦Optionally loop and/or stretch the selected portion to fit the destination area and tempo
◦Scroll and zoom the media peaks preview
◦Control+alt drag the time selection to render a new cropped file to REAPER, the desktop, or a folder
◦Control+alt drag the time selection to sampler plugins or other applications that support drag/drop
•Project Bay:
◦Manage, preview, search, replace project source media, media items, and FX
◦Manage media item groups and take comps for the project
◦Save/load project bay contents to create working sets of source media/FX for different purposes
◦Store sets of edited media items (including fades, stretch, pitch shift, etc) to use in any project
◦Media and FX+preset combinations can be stored, inserted, and switched in the project
•ReaSurround:
◦Multi-channel surround panner with support for any number of input channels and speakers
◦Freely position input sources and speakers in 3D space
◦Configurable per-channel diffusion (treat input source audio as a shaped area rather than a point)
◦Drag track IO button to ReaSurround to add new input sources
•Take lanes and comping:
◦Take lanes remain aligned by recording pass, creating empty lanes as needed (optional)
◦Each recording pass gets its own take lane, even when recording overlaps existing items
◦Recording no longer splits existing media items into different numbers of take lanes
◦Save/load named comps (sets of takes from multiple media items)
◦A/B or cycle through saved comps to audition/compare
•Dockers and toolbars:
◦Multiple dockers, freely dockable in main window or floatable (up to 16 separate dockers/toolbars)
◦Drag tabs from a docker to rearrange tabs, create a new docker in another location, or float windows
◦Create, customize, and freely dock or float toolbars for different uses
•Envelope editing:
◦Support for copying envelope points with the mouse
◦Groups of selected points act like contiguous items when moving or copying
◦Shift+control+drag on envelope segment (customizable) edits the envelope level within the time selection
•Media Item Properties:
◦Item/Take Properties dialog stays open while you work elsewhere, follows changes in selected items
◦Pitch adjust and playrate fields accept values (such as "1.004") or simple operations (such as "x2")
•Multichannel support:
◦Allow choosing greater than 2 channels of sequential inputs, monitoring inputs
◦Multichannel track meters
◦Freely route any number of track channels to other tracks, hardware outputs
•Render and batch-convert:
◦Support for rendering project tracks and time regions to separate folders and files
◦Customizable wildcards provide great flexibility in naming batches of rendered/converted files
◦Save render presets for workflow efficiency
•Time selection:
◦Default copy/cut/glue actions respect time selection if there is one (including leading/trailing space)
◦Using mouse modifiers, copy/move behaviors can respect time selection if there is one
◦Editing behavior can be customized separately for media items, envelope points, MIDI editing
•Track input FX chains:
◦FX in the input FX chain only run when record armed, and only affect the signal coming in
◦use MIDI or audio input, and can be set to output MIDI or audio independent of the input format
•Track pan improvements:
◦Track stereo width controls and envelopes
◦Configurable track pan modes: balance, stereo pan (L/R + width), dual pan, and classic (3.x) balance
•Pitch shift envelopes: Each take has its own pitch shift envelope, including customized range and snap settings
•Transient detection and dynamic split: separate threshold and sensitivity settings, and other options
•Video: performance improvements, support for sequencing still images
•Volume faders: new default hardware-emulation fader taper
