Hi Toni,
I am ross from Australia. More particularly live in Forster in the state of
New south Wales.
Just heard a bit of your video. Man you've got a great voice. Sound like a
professional announcer or presenter.
And also you are very concise with your presentation. You get straight in to it.
I don't use reaper, I use Cubase, but the part of your video I heard sounded
like it would be very helpful for reaper users.
Good luck with all your work, and welcome to the list.
Ross.

Hello Joseph,
i've got a few videos on my YouTube channel which might help you, as they're
specifically walking through MIDI features of REAPER like the MIDI editor, the
grid and how to use them in certain ways.
For example, here's a video on how to compose something without ever using a
MIDI instrument: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNQihLF0TFA
Here is one on how to use step recording in REAPER:

And here is one on how to use the MIDI editor like a loop machine:

Thats just a few examples though, if you feel comfortable learning from
tutorial videos like those, you can check out the other videos on my channel as
thats exactly one of the situations I do this for ;).
HTH a bit.

Welcome, Joseph.
MIDI is a very deep interest for me. Ask and I'll help in any way I can.
I am also a writer. I write at various lengths, both fiction and nonfiction.
I'd enjoy an offlist message about your books. Mine are waiting for someone
sighted to help with covers so I can get them up for folks to buy.
Nicole

Hello MIDI Maggers,
My name is Joseph Stephen. I'm 51 and am totally blind. I've been a software
engineer for about 26 years and have recently gotten back into music after a
very long break. I currently own a Roland TD17KV drum kit and a Roland Juno
DS61 keyboard. I have begun using Reaper and am thrilled to be able to
produce multitrack recordings. I have a friend in Adelaide Australia (I live
in Tasmania Australia) who I've sung with since 1986. In the 90s we had a
Christian band and played at many churches, camps and other events around
Adelaide. When I got married in 1996 I took a very long break from music to
raise a family of 9 children, 4 of which are still at home.
In 2019, when I visited my mother in Adelaide (who is at the end of her
life), I visited my friend and we sat on his bed and began singing as if we'd
never had a 24 year break. I knew then that I really wanted to get back into
music. IN the past three months (at the age of 73) my friend in Adelaide has
finally figured out how to record himself. I in that time have taken a crash
course in Reaper. He sends me a single track of him and his guitar and I add
harmonies, drums and keyboard here in Tasmania, and do the mixing and
mastering here. Our genres cover a wide range of music from soft ballads to
rock. All our music is original. Currently all of my recording has been audio
but I'd like to get started with MIDI since both my Roland instruments can
transfer audio and MIDI over USB. I hope to get some direction from this
list. I've never worked with MIDI at all and have no idea how to get started
with MIDI and Reaper.
If anyone is interested in the Roland TD17KV/KV2, I've put together an
accessible guide which is still a work in progress. I'm doing the same for
the Juno DS61. If anyone has any notes on either of these instruments, let me
know and we can brainstorm together. I've also been in contact with Roland
Australia to try and work on some accessibility issues. Time will tell if
they take on board anything I've suggested, I'm sure I'm not the first to
have written to them. Given my background in software however, you'd hope
they'd take me up on my offer of help.
Other interests include making amateur radio accessible to the blind by
adding voice prompts to radio firmware. Two projects I've worked on include
AccessibleGD77 and OpenRTX.
I also enjoy walking, woodwork and writing. I've written 6 books and am
currently working on a seventh.
Thanks for having me. I look forward to what I can learn from you all and
hopefully what I can contribute.
Joseph
