Lightkey with reaper6/12/2023 So there you go, I hope this will be useful to some people and save them some time searching for a solution that wasn't ever written yet.During our rehearsals and worship services, the computer running this software was starting to lag like crazy which was really frustrating for the volunteers and for myself. If you do, please PM me, because I'd like to know as well! So to choose the color you need for your lightshow, you have to either get used to the color spectrum/velocity correspondence, or find a way. However, I haven't (yet?) found a way to make it so when you change the velocity in the note, you have a dynamic feedback on the keyboard. Now, the pads are going to light up depending on the velocity and the pitch of the note when it's played, just like in the video.Now open the Route menu of the track (between track volume and track pan), and in "MIDI hardware output", select "MIDIOUT2 (Launchkey MIDI)" and under that, select "Send to channel 16".This is going to tell to the keyboard what we output. On the "Record menu" (the button located right under the track name, between the enveloppes and the record monitoring buttons): Go to Record: output -> select Record: output (MIDI).After reading the programming documentation of the Novation Launchkey, I saw that it outputted to the channel 16. MIDI output: This is what's necessary.In "All MIDI In": I couldn't find anything like that in Reaper, so we skip that.You will get a message saying "Error opening MIDI inputs and outputs", but this is normal. It's in Options -> Preferences (Ctrl+P) -> Control/OSC/web -> Add -> HUI (partial) and put MIDIIN2 in input and MIDIOUT2 in output. Mackie HUI: Good news, in Reaper we don't actually need this! I've tweaked around with the Control/OSC/web menu in the Parameters (since there are options named "HUI (partial)" and "Mackie Control"), but after some testing I discovered that you don't need them.Output: Enable "Launchkey MIDI" and "MIDIOUT2 (Launchkey MIDI)".Input: For both "Launchkey MIDI" and "MIDIIN2 (Launchkey MIDI)", enable input and control.MIDI port setup: Options -> Preferences (or Ctrl+P), then go to MIDI Devices (under Audio).So what I tried to do is find a correspondence between the Cubase settings and the Reaper ones. Note that even if the video mentions the faders, I'm only going to talk about the pads since tutorials about faders in Reaper already exist. So first of all, I watched this video, who explains how to make them work in Cubase. And since I couldn't find it online, I might as well post it here so if anyone in the future ask themselves the same question, it'll be useful. (it is indeed me, but now I changed my handle so new Reddit account). Yesterday, I asked myself this question: I was really surprised when I saw all red buttons when I turned Reaper on again this morning.Īlso this doesn't seem to work with some VSTs. ResourcesĮDIT: Turns out you also have to arm the recording on the track and use "All MIDI inputs -> All channels/Channel 10" for the buttons to be colored. We'd love to hear what you have produced with Reaper, but please post it in the weekly sticky.
