      Teeny tiny nitpick: The apostrophes in this thread’s original post are munged. I assume that happened in the forum transition.

        I’m trying to use the Reduce 5-lane command, but it does nothing at all. Not even an error message. I’m using REAPER 4.22 and one of the 2.x Python builds.

          Go through the checklist in the first post, you have some illegal note/marker or something similar.

            When I do auto-reductions on drums, it just copies the expert chart. Help?

              Amazing tool, thanks!

              Just one question – if i rework most parts of the CAT reduced notes manually, should i use CAT label on the song?

              I’m a bit confused, because despite the fact that i’ve made a lot of manual changes to make song more enjoyable to play on other difficulties, “template” of my reductions was created by CAT reductions.

              Sorry if this question was already asked :roll:

                No. CAT is a great way to start reducing, but it’s rarely perfect. If you’ve done the real work of reducing, there’s no need to list CAT.

                  Exactly. That CAT icon is for people who one-click reductions, which is still a great way to give at least something to people playing on lower difficulties but which is a big no-no if you want to do proper reductions. Autoreductions are a starting point, not a finished product, unless the song is very very very simple in its structure.

                  I was trying to add a function to CAT to generate pro guitar root notes, but my limited programming skills is making me unable to make a GUI to test it (I get errors with pg_root_notes.py), I was wondering if I could get some help on that, if I can get that to work I might make more functions for pro guitar. Here is what I added:

                  pg_root_notes.py: http://pastebin.com/fFx6tZiJ

                   

                  and a simple button in CAT.py.

                    Kudos for tackling this one. <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”> Have you checked that your commands work outside of the GUI, first?

                    #458982

                    Nope.. how would I go about testing this without a GUI within reaper?

                     

                    As I said, very limitted programming skills <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif” />

                      The GUI is irrelevant for testing. Do this: right under launch(), at the bottom of your pg_root_notes.py file, paste the following

                       

                      C3toolbox.startup()

                      C3toolbox.pg_root_notes(instrument, int(str1), int(str2), int(str3), int(str4), int(srt5), int(str6))

                      Replace all variables in the function call with the values you want to use (instrument in example would be ‘PART REAL_GUITAR_22’), place a # before launch() so that it reads #launch() and just load the python file in Reaper with ReaScript New/Load. This way the GUI is bypassed and then function is executed directly. Once you have tested it with your hard set values you can comment those 2 new lines, decomment launch() and test the GUI. I can help you with the GUI if it gives you a headache but first make sure the function works.

                      Thanks! I will come back if I get it working <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

                      So I just tried using the drums autoreductions, and I’m confused as to what happening.

                       

                      What happens is, I’ll open CAT, click autoreductions (drums), and hit reduce (sometimes with changing some options but it does it either way), then all the boxes become unchecked, nothing happens in the midi, and if I redo the settings and hit reduce again, nothing happens. What’s going on?

                       

                      I was using the template in case that might be a problem.
