Reaper: How to filter pitch bend msgs? [Solved] :)

[EnGee]

Hi there,

How to filter pitch bend messages?

The problem I have is my Oxygen controller has began sending midi msgs by itself! I tried to fix the hardware by opening it and 'play' little bit with the low quality things. I thought I could fix it as for a day or two it seemed to function right, but then it started to send random pitch bend msgs again!

This is not a problem in Studio One, Cubase and Reason as I found an option to filter these midi msgs (eventually like disabling pitch bend wheel, which what I want to do by software). Anyway, I searched a lot in the options and in Reaper forums but I couldn't find a way to do it.

Is there a way to disable it globally in Reaper?

Don't think you can do it globally, but there's a JS effect called MIDI filter (can't remember if it's in the default install, or you need to get it from Stash). Use it.

Another route (more 'global' but always to remember to set up beforehand) would be
Oxygen -> MIDI-Ox (or similar) for the filtering -> virtual MIDI cable -> Reaper

Thanks ED, tracks/instrument level is fine

OK, I found it here:
http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=57957

I copied it to "C:\Program Files\REAPER (x64)\InstallData\Effects\midi". At first it didn't appear but restarting/refreshing ..etc, then I could find it.

It works great

Thanks No_Use, I will try what you wrote as well

^^^^
That folder, is, if I understand correctly, one used as a temporary location during an installation. The correct folder for JS FX is (a sub-folder in) Reaper's App Data Effects folder. For example, in Windows:
...\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\Effects\MIDI

You can get to the top-level AppData folder, by clicking [Options] and selecting "Show Reaper resource path in Explorer / Finder".

Thanks DarkStar.
I have just checked it and it's there! It seems Reaper already copied it in "..\AppData..." when I restarted it maybe!
