discussion Ragnar Drums Midi Map
Hello everyone! Don't mind me, I'm just dropping off some information about where and how to add Midi Note Names for anyone who has Ragnar Drums. I made this to help others because I couldn't find a midi map that would add the individual drum instruments to the piano roll so now we have it!
********Directions***********
- Head over to the Reaper Stash website and look for Ragnar_Drums_Reaper_Midi_Map or use this URL
https://stash.reaper.fm/manage_file/52913/Ragnar_Drums_REAPER_MIDI_Map.txt
To open/load that Ragnar Drums midi note-name file in REAPER:
- Open REAPER.
- Create or open a track.
- Insert a MIDI item on the track.
- Double-click the MIDI item to open the MIDI Editor / Piano Roll.
- In the MIDI Editor, click File at the top.
- Go to Note/CC Names.
- Choose Load Note/CC Names From File...
- Browse to wherever you saved the Ragnar Drums
.txtfile. Select it and click Open.
OPTIONAL: Hide unused Note/Keys
In the MIDI Editor:
- Press Alt + 2 to switch to Named Notes mode.
- Click View at the top.
- Go to Show/hide note rows.
- Select Hide unused and unnamed note rows.
That will hide the piano keys that aren’t named in your Ragnar map, while keeping the Ragnar drum/cymbal rows available—even if you haven’t placed a MIDI note on them yet.
Don’t choose just “Hide unused note rows.” That can hide Ragnar articulations you haven’t used yet. “Hide unused and unnamed note rows” is the one you want.
Thats it! Hope it helps.
