![]() When done, select the items and then go to the “Item” menu, go to Group, select “Group items” and they all now move together and you can change select settings for the entire group in the media items properties window.Now, since I have multiple overlapping Media Items in this example: in the “Options” menu select “Show overlapping media in lanes (when room)” to see all the items and adjust their positions and how they crossfade.You can edit the envelopes where they appear in the media item itself. To add item specific automation, click “Take envelopes…” and you will see the standard automation options.Now, whenever you hit play, it will modulate that effect After selecting an item for modulation in “Paramater modulation/MIDI link,” select “LFO” and choose how it modulates the chosen paramater.After selecting an effect, you can add modulation to select paramaters using the “Param” at the top.Click “Take FX” at the bottom, and you will see a familiar effects chooser.For this example, I will use the standard window. One of my favorites: Right-click in an empty space, and select “Dock Item Properties window in Docker” and Reaper will create a new tab at the bottom displaying item properties for selected media items. ![]() Open the “Media Item Properties” window by double-clicking the media item.This is nice for standard audio work, but it is particularly exemplary with sound design, especially when combined with layering and grouping items in a track lane for any sound effects that might reoccur in a project. These effects will then travel with that item as you copy or move it about. ![]() In Reaper you can add effects, effects modulation, and automation to specific media items that will only affect that specific item. For some presets that have a script with MIDI assignments, this will allow you to simply write the Kontakt control data as MIDI CC automation in REAPER while recording.Please take a moment to subscribe to my YouTube Channel by clicking here. You can also try enabling the option in Kontakt for it to send MIDI to the outside world (notes and CC data). This would basically function the same way reaper does when you tweak a parameter while a track is in an automation writing mode (assuming you have the option enabled to automatically add and show the automation lane for tweaked parameters while in write mode). Then, if I ever need to switch the Kontakt instrument I have loaded and keep the automation I have in REAPER, and that instrument doesn't have its parameters mapped to kontakt's internal MIDI controls, I just save it as a new preset, open the preset in sublime text, and copy over all of the internal mappings from my default Kontakt preset file, save, and reload the preset in Kontakt.īut I agree, Kontakt should expose all of the internal parameter mapping by default, or at least have an automatic assignment function to detect and assign any parameter a user touches to the next unassigned internal mapping. From there, I can just load whatever preset/instrument I want to in Kontakt, and the mappings will all stay fixed in both REAPER and in the patchwork preset. I have a default Kontakt preset that has all of its parameters mapped to its internal assignments by default (or all of them I'd ever want to automate, anyway), which I saved/load as a user preset in Blue Cat's Patchwork, which contains mappings for all of the assignable Kontakt parameters to the control knobs in Patchwork. Why can't you touch a parameter in Kontakt's wrench and it appear in the TCP? So damn annoying NI! You have to manually drag drop automation in Kontakt's stupid automation pane to the parameter and THEN the envelope appears in the TCP. So, if anyone knows how to disable (or toggle) the setting for automatically adding new envelopes/automation for touched parameters when a track is in something other than read or trim/read mode, please let me know!ĮDIT: HAHA! Of course, after a bit of searching the actions, I found the "SWS: Toggle auto add envelopes when tweaking in write mode" action, which does exactly what I wanted!Īnyone know why this does NOT work with Kontakt 5 or 6? Like at all. This is big problem when using plugins that have parameters for things I never want to automate. Now if I could just find some way to toggle enable/disable the adding of automation for new parameters (those without any automation so far) when the track is in touch, latch, or write modes so that I can still record automation for the parameters that already have automation envelopes added, but not add any new ones and write automation to them. A common use, among others, is to automate the. Automation Envelopes An automation envelope is a visual representation of a parameter such as volume or panning that changes over time.

Please note, the following are with default settings, behaviors in Reaper can be modified in so many ways. I have "FX: Show/hide track envelope for last touched FX parameter" set to Alt + E on my keyboard ![]()
