Hi,
I wrote a cute little (open source) plugin for Reaper which helps you improve your sense of rhythm.
I used it in combination with Pianoteq to demonstrate it.
Sometimes a good plugin is what it takes to get someone to buy a DAW and this is a perfect example Eran - what a super cool tool.
Love the features - very well conceived and engineered. Good video demonstration too BTW.
I've only had the demo of Reaper (mainly just to check it out and find out an answer to a couple questions about it here on this forum) - so looks like I'm going to start using it just for this
As well as using your plugin for training, I can immediately see a use case for improvising.. playing fast, loose and freely while trusting this tool to drop notes out of bounds might be really interesting to try.
There goes my weekend - such excellent work, thank you!
Hey etalmor, we have the same avatar! (I keep meaning to change mine, will get around to it some day). This is an amazing piece of work - I'll have to check it out. I wonder, could you do something similar for dynamic ranges? For example, set a target velocity range and get an alert if you go over or under.

Thank you for your very warm words - :-) I'm very glad you like it.
B.T.W Instead of taking it from my github - I put it in ReaPack (https://reapack.com/) - it's a much more streamlined way to get plugin updates (I wasn't aware of it myself until a few days ago).
I've put out v1.02 with some improvements (mostly in "swing" and "phase" params).
Cheers,
Eran

Hi, I *could* do something for dynamic ranges... but probably not for this tool - it's complicated enough, and I think a well designed tool should be
focused on the right feature set / use cases...
Practicing dynamics is interesting indeed, but I think there is a larger crowd for practicing rhythm ... so probably not now anyway...
B.T.W thanks for the kind words - I'm glad you like it
Cheers
