Version 4.01 Changelog
Course corrections

4.01:
MIDI editor: fixed crash when undoing all the way back to when the media item was created
MIDI editor: action to select all muted notes
MIDI editor: added actions to select all CC in time selection, in all visible lanes, or all lanes
OSX: fixed audio devices with trailing spaces in their names being reset on startup
Project bay: fixed import menu checkmarks, button labels
Project bay: fixed autoretained item saving with project
Toolbar arrange: fixed potential infinite loop
Virtual MIDI keyboard: properly update keys on theme change
VST/AU/ReWire bridging: better support for resuming from sleep
Windows: installer improvements relating to path setting on x64, installer size, and portable installs
MIDI editing:
Set user-definable scales and chords in the MIDI editor for drawing and editing notes
Using mouse modifiers, copy/duplicate/paste actions can create pooled (ghosted) in-project MIDI source data
Editing any pooled MIDI media item affects all media items that share the same pooled data
Un-pool shared MIDI by gluing the media item or via MIDI source properties dialog
New MIDI Contents menu for switching MIDI editor between different MIDI media items in the project
MIDI filter improvements when displaying multiple media items in the same editor
Many new mouse modifier behaviors to paint notes and chords, edit arpeggios, etc
Mouse modifier customization:
Customize mouse behavior when using keyboard modifiers in 40 different contexts
In many contexts, mouse click and mouse drag can be customized separately
Assign different behaviors to the mouse when over the top or bottom half of a media item
Assign any action (including custom actions) to mouse click or double-click in most contexts
Existing/legacy mouse preferences are preserved, but user changes to mousemap settings will override
Actions to reassign default mouse action for any context
Theme layout support:
Fully themeable UI, allowing repositioning/removal/addition of UI elements
Per-track TCP/MCP layout support
Screensets support saving/restoring layouts
Old themes use default layouts available in Plugins/default_layouts.txt
New themes can define their own layouts
Layouts can be switched via menu, screensets/layouts dialog, or customizable actions
Media Explorer:
Select a portion of a media file to insert into a project
Optionally loop and/or stretch the selected portion to fit the destination area and tempo
Scroll and zoom the media peaks preview
Control+alt drag the time selection to render a new cropped file to REAPER, the desktop, or a folder
Control+alt drag the time selection to sampler plugins or other applications that support drag/drop
Project Bay:
Manage, preview, search, replace project source media, media items, and FX
Manage media item groups and take comps for the project
Save/load project bay contents to create working sets of source media/FX for different purposes
Store sets of edited media items (including fades, stretch, pitch shift, etc) to use in any project
Media and FX+preset combinations can be stored, inserted, and switched in the project
ReaSurround:
Multi-channel surround panner with support for any number of input channels and speakers
Freely position input sources and speakers in 3D space
Configurable per-channel diffusion (treat input source audio as a shaped area rather than a point)
Drag track IO button to ReaSurround to add new input sources
Take lanes and comping:
Take lanes remain aligned by recording pass, creating empty lanes as needed (optional)
Each recording pass gets its own take lane, even when recording overlaps existing items
Recording no longer splits existing media items into different numbers of take lanes
Save/load named comps (sets of takes from multiple media items)
A/B or cycle through saved comps to audition/compare
Dockers and toolbars:
Multiple dockers, freely dockable in main window or floatable (up to 16 separate dockers/toolbars)
Drag tabs from a docker to rearrange tabs, create a new docker in another location, or float windows
Create, customize, and freely dock or float toolbars for different uses
Envelope editing:
Support for copying envelope points with the mouse
Groups of selected points act like contiguous items when moving or copying
Shift+control+drag on envelope segment (customizable) edits the envelope level within the time selection
Media Item Properties:
Item/Take Properties dialog stays open while you work elsewhere, follows changes in selected items
Pitch adjust and playrate fields accept values (such as "1.004") or simple operations (such as "x2")
Multichannel support:
Allow choosing greater than 2 channels of sequential inputs, monitoring inputs
Multichannel track meters
Freely route any number of track channels to other tracks, hardware outputs
Render and batch-convert:
Support for rendering project tracks and time regions to separate folders and files
Customizable wildcards provide great flexibility in naming batches of rendered/converted files
Save render presets for workflow efficiency
Time selection:
Default copy/cut/glue actions respect time selection if there is one (including leading/trailing space)
Using mouse modifiers, copy/move behaviors can respect time selection if there is one
Editing behavior can be customized separately for media items, envelope points, MIDI editing
Track input FX chains:
FX in the input FX chain only run when record armed, and only affect the signal coming in
use MIDI or audio input, and can be set to output MIDI or audio independent of the input format
Track pan improvements:
Track stereo width controls and envelopes
Configurable track pan modes: balance, stereo pan (L/R + width), dual pan, and classic (3.x) balance
Pitch shift envelopes: Each take has its own pitch shift envelope, including customized range and snap settings
Transient detection and dynamic split: separate threshold and sensitivity settings, and other options
Video: performance improvements, support for sequencing still images
Volume faders: new default hardware-emulation fader taper
