...hello all. I use Reaper primarily, and there are some aspects of it that have been irritating me just a little bit. Hopefully ya'll can help.
Firstly, how do I add the option for quintuplets? Yes, I know I could fake it by fiddling with different sizes of triplet, but that's troublesome and irritating. It's not even necessarily that I use quintuplets a lot in my music. I just want the option.
Secondly, the MIDI controls irritate me. When I'm fiddling with volume or expression, it's a bunch of green bars. Workable, but ugly, and I think it skews my perception in a way that a line and points along the line wouldn't. If there's a way to change that, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thirdly and lastly (for now), is there a way to build a "tempo track"? I don't know how to explain this. I know Reaper allows tempo markers and so on, but I want something a little easier to use - once again, akin to a line. Something that allows for me to draw the tempo and create a more naturalistic ebb and flow in the tempo then a bunch of separate markers with machine-esque transitions-to-new-marker.
If anyone can help me... please. I would appreciate it.
