       * Load File and get a file that matches your hardware (GM, XG, etc.)
       * select patches you want and you're good
+  * Reaper is constant recording MIDI input in the background and you can set up a shortcut to paste what it has into a track, keyword is 'retroactive MIDI recording'.
+  * MIDI sends: https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#YTQVIHPKzc0 - Haven't found this useful yet, but it seems useful.
+  * I'm finding is useful, because I'm using Reaper to save and modify lots of CC values, to display those CC values in the main view. To do this from the ReaMIDIControl VST click 'Param' and then 'Show in track controls'.
+    * I have to use multiple instances of the VST to get them all to show :|
+===== Scripts, Add-Ons =====
+There's a package manager for managing these packages:
+  * https://reapack.com/
+  * [[arch>reapack]]
+Scripts:
+  * [[https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=177437|LFO tool for MIDI editor and envelopes]] - Great tool for doing automations on MIDI CC data, etc.
+VSTs:
+  * [[https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=262175|MIDIControl]] - Better interface for working with MIDI CC, most importantly (for me) way more values in the panel than ReaControlMIDI. Doesn't work on Linux yet.
+  * [[https://ctrlr.org/|Ctrlr]] [[aur>ctrlr]] - Let's you design your own custom panels, and people share ones they've made. Can't get it to be detected by Reaper.
+  * [[https://www.midiplugins.com/Plugin/111|CC-Rider]] - Another better MIDI CC VST, Windows only I think.
+  * [[https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=227021|MIDI Monitor / Controller]] - Add as many MIDI CC knobs as you want. Haven't tried yet.
+===== See Also =====
+  * The Reaper website actually has really good, well organised, video tutorials:
