The Chord Gun (MIDI) in REAPER

The Chord Gun (MIDI) in REAPER

[@craigpaulson3503]

The gentleman that wrote this script deserves some donations. And Kenny deserves some for being the best Reaper teacher on KZbin..

[@slwslw2276]

Deeply agree.

[@alexanderkhait]

Yeah like the most boring guy in the wild west

[@michaelgraziotto7038]

I wonder if Kenny ever gets tired of hearing how awesome he is.... Kenny you're awesome

[@Terribleguitarist89]

All these years I've been manually clicking in notes with virtual keyboard or the mouse... This is about to completely change my work flow for the better... Bless this dude for creating this.

[@rayderrich]

The open nature of Reaper makes it better for me every day. Thank you Kenny and the script creator.

[@jefjahn247]

... and as a bonus, you’ll even learn a little music theory! 😉 Great script. Great tutorial! 👍

[@sickularism4289]

Every Single day the more tutorials am completing for REAPER am loving it more and more. I don't know If there is any other DAW in this world has such capabilities and community along with a INSANELY GREAT TEACHER like KENNY. Kudos to REAPER team and I don't have words to explain my excitement and love for the DAW that is increasing day by day. Still in evaluating mode but rest assured once I finish all the videos from REAPER website am going to instantly buy this DAW, no questions asked.

[@bobwilkinsonguitar6142]

That's it, throwing away the midi controller😂

[@kedskies]

No😭

[@MrHugabum]

I don’t have any use for this but I love me some kenny g

[@jamesfrancisco3130]

Thank you, Kenny! I've recently bought a few MIDI tools that "sort of" do this, but this looks easier. Reaper has so many more things it can do than most of us know! Thanks for the tutorials!

[@francoisBonin-phils]

totally agree with this

[@Chalisque]

I still like UChord (I'd like to accumulate a chord progression before committing it to the piano roll), but Captain's out of a job. I'd love to have some kind of 'chord object' in the actual Reaper piano roll, where you could e.g. select a chord and have some kind of action to invert them and other manipulations.

[@BillGraper]

Have you seen videos for InstaChord? It's on sale for the next 8 days! I bought it immediately after watching a video. I can't wait to use it!

[@jamesfrancisco3130]

@@BillGraper Yes, I have InstaChord and all of the other "Insta..." related vst's. Haven't used them much, though... too many plugins - too little time!

[@minkorrh]

The chord gun might be a shortcut but is also a wealth of learning info when it comes to musical theory and what scale associates with a specific chord groujp etc.

[@clydesight]

This script is brilliant, but so is the video explaining how to use it! Thank you so much for the tip on such a great addition to Reaper AND showing how to use it!

[@JanKowalski-nm1jh]

Thank you, Kenny.

[@darsmatias]

The Reaper Community is in debted to you for this amazing tutorials Kenny! Thanks bro!

[@francoisBonin-phils]

With this , ther is no need of a midi chord pack , thanks for the video.

[@alm5966]

Just when I've created my own menu items for a bunch of chord types I now stumble across this tutorial! This is a godsend of a script and video.

Oh my god! Just a treasure trove of information. Really glad I chose reaper as my DAW because the software and your channel are awesome! I'm learning so much so fast, and have TONS of tools to get me going. Thanks so much!

[@pbadach1468]

This is gamechanger my man.

[@kerwinfernandes9583]

the first progression sounded like 'Take on me!' 😜 Great demo, thanks, and God bless! 🙂🙏🏻❤

[@SSITM]

Let it Be known that this is one of the most used chord progressions in popular music. Don't Stop Believin what I just wrote.

[@eegoal]

I've been using it for long and it's one of the best reaper tools.

[@radsy5821]

you are an international treasure Kenny, and thank you PandaBot!

[@oletrenner]

That's a hell of a tool, thanks for sharing! Just put a fender rhodes VST in a new midi track, randomly click some chords on the chord gun, and ready is a hit ;) Cheers!

[@StamatisKekes]

Just installed the chord gun mate ... I love that script ... it will help me a lot with my composing work flow ...

[@brian_hibbs]

I fucking love your narration it's so easy to follow.

[@poissonpuerile8897]

And it sounds like New Jersey William Shatner, to boot!

[@i_have_crippling._.depress4630]

Thanks Kenny, this is way easier than the «stick to a key» button and paint chords in piano roll

[@shamanbeartwo3819]

Or, one could simply put the cursor on a note, right click and go down to "insert chords" and get a much more extensive list of chords to use than Chord Gun offers. Like a "mMaj7add13" or a "13b5b9" chord.

[@i_have_crippling._.depress4630]

@@shamanbeartwo3819 I had not thought about that, I'll try it next time and we'll see how complex I can go

[@Nikos4415]

@@shamanbeartwo3819 heya, i see that option but nothing happens when I try to choose any chord... can you elaborate on this way a little more?..

Hey Kenny! Great to see new Reaper content from you. Your work is much appreciated.

As a Reaper Newbee from Germany I found this by accident. Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@andybishop1117]

Unbelievable script, Kenny you’re the man and this community is just awesome!

[@jbognap]

Kudos to pandabot (Ben Johnson) for creating this incredibly useful tool. I've played around with this, but I didn't know about playing it in real-time or selecting existing events and replacing chords.

[@Skylarka]

What. A. Tool. I mean it. This is an absolutely incredible tool! Installing it right now!

thanks a lot sir! your explanation is so easy to understand 👍🙏

Thanks again Kenny. This is incredibly efficient and useful.

[@robtownsend3058]

I wanna more music already! But I can't stop watching your videos Kenny, after EACH and EVERY one I feel like I should watch just one more as they will always make me even better. This tool is awesome and your creative ways to use it for shortcuts are inspiring, definitely gonna start my next track today, I think.

[@mxkguitar]

This is powerful stuff. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your awesome tutorials, Kenny. I think I've watched nearly all of them. Great help finding my way around Reaper. This again: wonderful and very useful! 🙏

[@jonmatthews4254]

Another absolute gem, thanks Kenny.

[@bahutu802]

Incredibly useful tool. Pandabot is the man! Didn't know this kind of tool was just a few clicks away :) I was always looking for something like this without having to buy a pricy VST. It's so useful to come up with some basic chord progressions (even if you use other notes later on. Or to set up a progression to practice musical instruments to. Impressive that it also is so well integrated with the MIDI editors, so that it replaces existing chords, preserves the rhythm and so on. I also love that it works with arpeggiators which follow in the FX lane, such as MIDI arpeggiator (see an other video by Kenny Gioia).

[@MerlinsMelody]

this is indeed a very very useful tool. thankyou for the tutorial and thanks pandabot for the creation

[@thomasrodman1796]

Amazing!

Ridiculous mode! Something I was looking for exactly. Thank you for showing us the way and this great script.

I like your window config for this...might have to copy that and save it as a ‘songwriting phase window set.

[@mightyhunter4]

This just blew my mind. Thank you for your easy, concise tutorials!!

[@smoothcannibal5371]

Pro tip. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the note to turn off. Make sure you don't have the send all keyboard input to virtual keyboard (even with other windows active) option checked. thanks for this video. This is cool piece of software. I am going to have to donate some to this guy when I can.

Thanks 🙏 now we have Captain Chords in Reaper 🤓

awesome! i know chord theory well, but i still like to use tools like this, they make me think/comppose differently than actually playing chords.

I think a few of the steps in the beginning are unnecessary, I downloaded the plugin into a folder I created called Reaper-Stash and directly installed it from there rather than copying it to the scripts directory/folder.

[@slipperedlobster]

whoa ! You just changed my life. lol This is what I was looking for. Excellent Video

[@MarkFromHawaii]

This is great - thanks Kenny. I just bought EZKeys 2. I’m wondering if I dragged and dropped an arpeggiated progression into a track with chord gun, I could edit it with chord gun to get the new chords to play in the arpeggiated midi pattern.
