Using a MIDI expression pedal with REAPER

In this video we'll be looking at some of the things you can do with an expression pedal in REAPER. Controlling REAPER functions, controlling virtual instrument parameters, and as a wah pedal in a virtual guitar system (Helix). I'm using a Moog EP-2 but there are many other expression pedals available that will work just as well with REAPER. MIDI expression pedals have a TRS plug and it connects to the Expression Pedal jack on your MIDI keyboard. Setup - Preferences: Audio: MIDI Devices - Find your MIDI Keyboard and set Enabled + control - Check MIDI CC # with ReaControlMIDI Log Linking to reaper action - Open action list, find an action with (MIDI CC) in the name, MIDI learn (absolute mode) MIDI recording - Single track, records to CC #11 lane Recording audio sources Reaper parameter MIDI link - 1 track - Need to record automation at same time Using Plugin’s MIDI learn - 2 tracks - Records audio and MIDI separately Problems - MIDI and automation fight for same parameter - Forget to record automation - MIDI track needs to be record and monitor enabled - MIDI Overdub with existing MIDI CC data Thanks for watching!
