New Tool (3.1) ChordGun

Hey can you ask eatme to post the lua script or make chordlord for reaper? I cant see the code in these xrxn files to make it myself damn…

Can you make this into a lua files too? so that reaper users can run it in the daw?
I would but i cant edit the xrxn file in notepad its just nonsense symbols and some slight syntax.
Thanks if you do!

it|s just zipfile

Great tool!

I forget - is the source code for this plugin viewable? I have long wanted to learn enough Lua to add 9th chords to it since I use those so much.

A while back EatMe added them (along with WAY TOO MANY) other chords to his ChordLord plugin

If you enable scripting, you can view the lua for any and all tools

I’ve created keystrokes for it. It’s not one key but it’s quick and straightforward considering how much functionality is available in this plugin.

Hi All –

This is one of my favorite plugins and is pretty core to my songwriting process. However, there’s some functionality that I’ve always wished it had, and today I finally took a crack at vibecoding the updates I want into it. I’m still testing it, and I’ve also contacted the author of this plugin pandabot to offer my thanks (again) and ask permission to release mine. Even though it’s released under the MIT license, I’ve never done this before and wanted to show proper respect for the project.

The new plugin, currently titled ArpGun, adds the ability to take the chord notes (usually input on one line in the pattern editor by default) and spread them out over multiple lines to create common arpeggiator patterns like:

  • up

  • down

  • up/down

  • down/up

  • up/down/up

  • down/up/down

  • strum up

  • strum down

  • Dyads (two of the notes in the chord at a time)

    You now can also choose the line increments to advance for different rhythms.

    1

  • 2

  • 3

  • 4

  • 6

  • 8

  • 12

  • 16

  • 32

    These make the output notes follow 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, triplets etc depending on your LPB settings.

    If you select a section of your pattern, it’ll fill that selection area only, otherwise it’ll fill the pattern.

FWIW I also added a few addition chord types that it’s never had, like 9ths.

I’d love to hear if anyone would find this new functionality useful or has additional ideas for how to make it more useful. Already in its current state it’s improving my workflow for sketching out chord progressions and arping them quickly and efficiently.
