Following on from the post I made in Robin's sights & sounds thread I thought rather than continue with the hijack I'd start a new thread in the correct place.

Bear in mind that I am using PC rather than MAC which via Logic Pro and AI Drummer has other automated triggering possibilities

My post on the Reaper Forum
When we play covers we are using configurable backing tracks that we strip the guitars and vocals out of.

This is fine for covers but we also have a stack of originals that we wish to record and I'm finding it difficult to program the drum tracks using the MIDI options, I have the GTG DPC3 drums, SM Mega Kits and after reading through a few threads have just downloaded the MT Drum kit.

I have searched the forum and help files over the past week or so and also spent time with Mr Google and have not been able to find a way of triggering drum patterns in a new track from an existing bass guitar track.

My current project has a rolling sea shanty feel that feels like 12/8 but it's just a straight 4 with an odd rhythm.

Sorry if the question has been asked and answered I just haven't been able to find it so far.

If the answer is that I need another software package to do this, that's OK I just need to find the breakthrough.
The first response took me to this thread http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=179310 and down the bottom below the description there is a link Drum Trigger.lua https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EU...%20trigger.lua

Here is the thread on TDPRI http://www.tdpri.com/threads/is-it-p...reaper.672152/

Here is the brief description of how to load and use the script ( after following the instructions on the Reaper thread on how to install the script )

1. Load the guide track
2. Select the section to be analysed
3. Load the script
4. Get selection
5. Create MIDI using Key number for each individual drum or cymbal ( which creates new track each time )
6. Load MIDI kit of choice ( GTG DPC3 )
7. Play and edit as/if required

I hope this helps someone on here and any feedback will be much appreciated.
