 +  * 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 :|
 +  * To merge two clips (//items//) you use Item → Glue items (or Glue items within time selection)

 +===== Configuration =====
 +
 +==== UI ====
 +
 +You can scale the UI via Option → Preferences… → General → Advanced UI/system tweaks…
 +
 +For some reason this doesn't effect the text in the menu bar at the top of the window. You can change this by setting ''ui_scale'' in reaper.ini, which on Linux should be: ''~/.config/REAPER.reaper.ini''
 +
 +===== MIDI =====
 +
 +Default shortcut to stop all MIDI notes (in case one gets stuck) is F3. Action description is: 'Send all-notes-off and all-sounds-off to all MIDI outputs/plug-ins' if you want to search for it.
 +
 +===== 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.
