Really helpful! I've been using grooveboxes as my main production tools recently but up til now had been doing this in a very janky way. Thanks for bringing me into the future!
Damn that's a shame man, it's so infuriating when it happens... The video is still great and informative so don't beat yourself over it too much, you did a great job! ❤
If you can do a video with an mpc 2000 or 2000xl that would be great but also I think your guide here will show me what to do as the videos on RUclips to do that are ancient and very poor quality too. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi Jon. Sorry for a bit out of scope; I submitted on the reaper forum this feature request: " Enabling MIDI Key Snapping When Recording". What do you think about it?
I found looping some sequence on my Behringer Edge timing in Reaper is lost when the loop goes back to the start position. Quite annoying when layering to multiple tracks. Can only record either a longer bit or stop before it loops. Maybe it's due to the Behringer USB driver, haven't tried oldschool MIDI cable connection yet. Doing this with my Yamaha MU500 thru USB doesn't give this issue.
@@TheREAPERBlog I got lucky, a fresh batch was available at Thomann germany right at the time when I was looking for one. I’ll do some more investigation into the issue I have , also have the Crave now.
Unfortunately (my v7.22) Reaper can't loop and keep sending external MIDI clock on time. I am using lots of hardware sequencers via a MOTU MIDI Express 128 and a Midronome and although I have 0 issues with Ableton Live 12, Logic Pro X, Cubase 12...when Reaper loops for 8/16/32 bars, it randomly goes sloppy with external MIDI clock upon looping and this is increasingly worse as the project gets bigger. Buffer settings don't make a difference The other DAWs don't suffer from this, only Reaper, which points to Reaper being the culprit and not something with my set up. The work around is to not use any loop points, which sucks.
ah you just tricked me into jamming the same 8 bar loop for an hour. very clever /jk it seems reliable to me. I've got poly-d, minilogue xd playing sequences connected with usb. MIDI out of poly-d to send clock to rd-6, chained to Volca sample. only managed to desync it by unplugging cables. But I can imagine that heavy plugin usage or undoing actions could desync it too
The sheer amount of settings so you can create customs skins, is why reaper doesnt have an identity. Its a blank slate, waiting for YOU to create an identity for it.

Thanks Jon. Hope all is well
thanks for watching. I'm doing OK
Using reaper with a Tempest on a windows machine, has its own MAJOR quirks. Because of jitter, it can be really challenging. Thanks for the vid!
Great video!
Thank you Jon
I'm soo mad about focus on my camera, I won't use that filter again.
for this one it actually looks vintage and fits the drum machine mood a lot!! i love it
on the b-cam its just a greasy dusty lens and I think it works for that to bloom the highlights.
@@TheREAPERBlog hahahaha omg amazing!

seems like a fair thing to add to the track record settings along with the input quantise.

I'm jealous you even got an Edge. I've been trying for months

sending notes or just clock? Is "no spp/continue" checked in the MIDI out?
I wonder if that is something that can be objectively measured.

@@TheREAPERBlog I've tried both SPP on and off. Didn't make things any better.
I am not sending MIDI notes to my hardware sequencers, just clocks.
need reaper to improve its gui a lot! it still don't have its own identity
