back to the same argument i posted a few weeks back. its true that qws makes editing easier, but not necessarily better at working with midi (especially regarding regular, standard midi markers and when you have a few bars of a time change to odd time signatures like 5/8), nor does it allow you to select all notes with same pitch (useful when working with drumkits for example)--yes you can use the note split but that is a bit of an extra step, but anyway
I think I have been able to do everything I wish with midi using reaper. This also includes things like the modal transpositoin tool, editing of single notes, their pitch position and velocity, Sometimes its more involved but its just as possible, even sighted folks find the curve a bit steep but its worth it, quantization is a bit more sensible and humanization is better, its just a matter of creating a workflow. Regarding setting qws as an external editor from the manual: "You can specify up to two third party programs (such as Adobe Audition, Audacity, Wavosaur or Sound Forge) which you wish to integrate with REAPER for editing your media items. To do this: 1. Choose the Options, Preferences command, then External Editors. 2. Click on the Add button 3. Use the Browse buttons (shown right) to identify and select your preferred wave editor or editors. 4. Click on OK, then OK to close the Preferences window. Notice that you can specify different editors for different file types, e.g. WAV, or MP3. To use your external wave editor: There are two main ways you can access your preferred external editing program from within REAPER: Select the media item and press Ctrl Alt E. Within a REAPER project, right click over the media item that you wish to edit. From the menu, choose either Open Items in editor then, from the sub-menu, select either the option to open the item itself or to open a copy of the item. Unlike versions of REAPER earlier than 4.0, by default double-clicking on an audio media item will no longer open it with your primary editor. This behavior can be changed thru the Preferences, Editing Behavior, Mouse Modifiers page if you wish. This topic is covered in Chapter 15. If the external editor works destructively on your files then the safer option is to open a copy. This copy will then be inserted into your track when you save it, close the editor and return to REAPER." this action is bound by default to control shift E. SO you can select your midi item you want to edit, then press that and reaper will open a copy, then save it in qws and when you close qws it will be shown as a new take . 2018-04-09 12:43 GMT-05:00, seth hurst <hurstseth...@gmail.com>: > I might have reaper be the vst host for qws and then export the midi > right into reaper. > > On 4/9/18, Nicole Massey <ny...@gypsyheir.com> wrote: >> That would be because QWS does a far better job of dealing with MIDI. >> It's >> not perfect, especially in the editors, (Note, Control, and Sysex) but >> it's >> better than Reaper does, and it's a more logical workflow, so someone >> with >> some facility with QWS can get things done a lot faster. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: mai...@andrelouis.com [mailto:mai...@andrelouis.com] On Behalf Of >> Juan >> Pablo Bello >> Sent: Monday, April 09, 2018 11:17 AM >> To: QWS list <qws@AndreLouis.COM> >> Subject: Re: QWS List Using qws and reaper >> >> well, why not use reaper's step recording from reaper or record midi just >> inside reaper? >> pairing both is sort of .. redundant, unless you configure qws to be an >> external editor. >> >> 2018-04-09 6:53 GMT-05:00, seth hurst <hurstseth...@gmail.com>: >>> I would like to use the note editor to place midi in reaper. >>> >>> On 4/8/18, Nicole Massey <ny...@gypsyheir.com> wrote: >>>> Yes, Gordon Kent has done it, though I don't know the specifics.
