Pro Keys Preview in REAPER

Is there any way for you guys to create a pro keys preview thing in Reaper like you do with the standard instruments? It would be really helpful if that could be made somehow.
Well, we didn’t make the preview windows we currently have. That’s all on Harmonix.
As for making a Pro Keys one, we’d need someone that is a) Good with programming (fairly sure the ones Harmonix made were with C++) and
Willing to spend their time making a program from scratch for such a niche audience.Not saying it won’t be done, it’s just not something you can whip up in a day or two.
The rbn previews were not made by Harmonix either
But yeah, it can be done. But those who would, don’t know how and those who know how haven’t shown any interest in doing it.
I don’t have the info handy but my understanding is they were created by a RBN author early on. I’ll see if I find that info later.

Who did them?Markleford. Harmonix paid him for it.
I’d personally be pretty keen on a vocal preview window. Just because I’d feel more comfortable starting vocals charting if I could see how it looked in game rather than looking at the MIDI screen

I often thought vocals would be nice just to make sure your phrase markers + lyric events aren’t gummed up (missed talkies and people using – instead of = are the most common issues that are easy to miss in REAPER) but of the instruments it is the one least needing a preview (I would argue PKs is #2 because you’re authoring to pitch, but I still would love to have it).
Don’t let REAPER be a deterrent for vocals charting.

Both would be great to have though if somebody were to have the time and skills to make them.
