Beta Build (1.3.0-beta.2)

pre-release5 hours ago

1.3.0-beta.1

Write mode!! - author charts directly on the highway without leaving REAPER.

Write Mode

  • Draw Mode - Click to place notes, right-click to erase, shift-drag to paint repeating notes. Drag after placing to create sustains. A ghost cursor shows exactly where your note will land.
  • Edit Mode - Click to select notes or marquee drag to grab multiple. Move notes by dragging or nudge with the arrow keys. Double-click to create or delete notes.
  • Write Toolbar - New sub-toolbar with step grid subdivisions, tuplet controls, snap toggle, and modifier selection (velocity, accent, ghost, tap, forced HOPO/strum, more to come!).
  • Stamp (C) - Available in both modes, hold and drag over a selection in DRAW or press while selecting notes in EDIT. Place full chord shapes and patterns in one click. Follows your mouse lane and preserves sustain durations.
  • Bar Mode (B) - Toggle dedicated kick editing for drums and open notes for other instruments. Non-bar gems dim so you can focus on just the bar lane. Split view of 1x and 2x kicks.

Quality of Life

  • Cmd+scroll to zoom note speed
  • Beta update channel - beta builds check for both beta and stable updates
  • Help text in the bottom left on for most modes, and on hover over controls with shortcuts if available!

Still to come

  • Star Power / Overdrive phrases
  • Solo, trill, tremolo, and roll markers
  • Drum fills and Big Rock Endings
  • Auto 2x kicks (able to manually place 1x and 2x currently)
  • Tempo, BPM, and time signature editing
  • Meta events (disco flips, section names, lyrics)
  • Pro instruments (pro guitar, pro keys, vocals)
