REAPER, an advanced multi-track audio production and recording environment for Windows and OS X.

Changes: CC Revival

MIDI editor:
- action to show raw MIDI data
- better drawing/editing for CC events that occur at the very end of the item
- CC lane marquee selection, drag or copy selected CC events
- CC lane context menu (select/unselect all events in lane, nudge events, etc)
- correct overlapping notes whenever they occur
- ctrl+drag to resize one CC lane only, shift+drag to accordion all CC lane sizes
- finer control of mousewheel vertical zoom
- fix for resizing notes up to the left or right edge of the parent item
- fixed marquee selection for drum-mode notes
- fixes for vertical zoom when user preference is to center on mouse cursor
- improved event list properties dialog
- many actions apply to all selected note and CC events
- preferences for sweeps/ramps to affect only selected CC/velocities
- preserve CC event selected/unselected state
- remove CC events with duplicate times and the same status/channel
- support clipboard copy/paste between piano roll, event list, and some external applications
OSX:
- preliminary bridging support (to run 32 bit plugins on 64 bit, PPC plug-ins on Intel, etc)
- ReWire slave support (enable slave mode in prefs/plug-ins/ReWire)
- Audio Units: bridging/firewalling support, with per-FX options (similar to existing VST bridging)
- Audio Units: pass through REAPER key commands shortcuts when plug-in GUI is focused
- Audio Units: more consistent GUI updating when playing back FX automation
- Audio Units/VST: enable text entry in edit fields, pass through other keystrokes for Carbon-based plugins
- CoreAudio: improved samplerate changing, detect changes on the fly and reinit device
- 64 bit version is now named REAPER64.app, better .dmg labels (shows arch)
- improvements to plug-in loading code (fewer crashes when plugins are missing dependencies)
- ReaNINJAM: better support for removing / readding VST
- spawn new REAPER instance is now supported, basic command line option support
Ripple editing:
- better behavior moving items left/right followed by up/down
- better behavior when moving items left (configurable in prefs/editing behavior)
- better behavior when using ctrl+drag copy of items
- fixed ripple all moving via action, with locked items affecting rippled markers
Windows:
- better handling of ASIO reset messages when project samplerate is set
- fix for unicode characters in new Vista+ file open/save dialogs
- prevent errors on audio devices that display error messages via MessageBox
- Vista+ file dialog for source properties and save track template file dialogs
Multi-touch:
- Windows 7 and OSX 10.6 multi-touch gestures can be mapped to REAPER actions
- per-gesture options for reverse, scaling, disabling inertia, improved zooming
Resampling:
- fixed resampling for media of more than 32 channels
- internal checks to behave better when out of memory/address space
- decreased RAM use in higher quality modes
VST:
- fix for occasional dropped keystrokes that are meant to be passed through to REAPER
- internal scanning/resolving tweaks
Action: adjust last touched FX parameter (mousewheel/MIDI CC)
CPU usage: optimizations with high track counts (solo sibling calculation caching)
Elastique: updated to v2.12 (fixes x64 quality issue)
Envelopes: preference for double-click to add envelope point, or reset existing point to center
Item properties: better-looking fadein/fadeout menus
MIDI controllers: fix for occasional disappearing action mappings
Mixer: save/restore exact visibility of FX, FX parameters, and sends
Mousewheel: enable relative zoom for mice that send finely-grained mousewheel data
MP3: fixed poor quality render with VBR encoding on OSX and Windows x64
Preferences: save/restore last preferences page visited when closing/opening REAPER
RAM usage: drastically reduced memory use when drawing waveform peaks in certain instances
ReWire: workaround for Pro Tools crashing on exit when REAPER is ReWire slave
Tempo maps: lower CPU use for projects with large tempo maps (helps VST time info as well)
x64: support bridging/firewalling of x64 VSTs, including 32-bit REAPER in WoW64
x86/x64 bridging: internal improvements and bugfixes
