Set default values for MIDI CC and keyswitches at the start?

I recently started working with large orchestral templates using Reaper, and so far the method I've been using to set default MIDI values is just putting a little MIDI item at the start of the project for each track. This method is less than ideal for two reasons: - I have to start the actual song a few bars into the project. - The handy "Track List" feature of the MIDI editor is barely usable, since every single track is shown (because they have a tiny MIDI item). Should I make a feature request for setting default MIDI values at the start of the project, or is there an existing solution to this?

I cannot think of an existing solution, but give this a try (It's hot from the oven, very rough) Add it at the start of your FX chain. Select the MIDI channel and when you want to send the messages, then pick the ones you want to send.

... only if it does what you want ;)

That looks like a really nice solution, DarkStar. This did not even occur to me. I would love a version of that that I could put on my main kontakt track, which has up to eight channels with default values for Keyswitch, Modwheel, Volume and Expression. I might be able to edit your plugin to do this if I find the time. Thanks a lot!

The attached does 4 channels, use two in sequence. >>> 1 Keyswitch and 3 fixed CCs per (selectable) channel. Select "All disabled" in the keyswitch to turn them off. Current Beat # is for monitoring only

... any news?

@DarkStar Neat tool. Will be very useful.

"Normal", before the VSTi. I do not know if Input

Not necessarily, remember it only sends them when the beat position is passed. Perhaps you can put together and attach a small project that does not do what you want and describe what you need the plug-in to do.

No problem. Give it a try. ;)
