"Action:..." family of actions
From CockosWiki
Actions to manipulate how actions work
These actions manipulate other actions or the way they react to an assigned MIDI CC or the mousewheel. Most of them only make sense as building blocks inside custom actions (also known as macros).
Action: Repeat the most recent action (Cmd ID 2999)
Sections: Main, MIDI Editor, MIDI Event list, MIDI Inline Editor
Triggers the last executed action once again.
Action: Repeat the action prior to the most recent action (Cmd ID 3000)
Section: Main
Action: Skip next action if CC parameter !=0/mid (Cmd ID 2018)
Section: Main
Action: Skip next action if CC parameter <0/mid (Cmd ID 2013)
Section: Main
Action: Skip next action if CC parameter <=0/mid (Cmd ID 2015)
Section: Main
Action: Skip next action if CC parameter ==0/mid (Cmd ID 2017)
Section: Main
Action: Skip next action if CC parameter >0/mid (Cmd ID 2014)
Section: Main
Action: Skip next action if CC parameter >=0/mid (Cmd ID 2016)
Section: Main
Action: Wait [n] seconds before next action (Cmd IDs 2008 to 2012)
Section: Main
Action: Modify MIDI CC/mousewheel: [n] (Cmd IDs 2004 to 2007)
Sections: Main, MIDI Editor, MIDI Event list, MIDI Inline Editor
Accelerates or decelerates your mousewheel or MIDI CC controller.
+10% for "a bit faster", 2x for doubled speed,
-10% for "a bit slower", 0.5x for half speed
Use them inside custom actions in combination with actions that are suffixed with "MIDI CC only" or "MIDI CC/mousewheel only".
Action: Modify MIDI CC/mousewheel: negative (Cmd ID 2003)
Sections: Main, MIDI Editor, MIDI Event list, MIDI Inline Editor
Reverses the mousewheel or MIDI CC controller. Use it inside custom actions in combination with actions that are suffixed with "MIDI CC only" or "MIDI CC/mousewheel only".
Action: Set action loop start (only valid within custom actions) (Cmd ID 2001)
Sections: Main, MIDI Editor, MIDI Event list, MIDI Inline Editor
Works in combination with Action: Prompt to go to action loop start (only valid within custom actions)(Cmd ID 2002). You can build a simple loop inside your custom action with these two. This action will determine the following action as the first in the loop.
Action: Prompt to go to action loop start (only valid within custom actions) (Cmd ID 2002)
Sections: Main, MIDI Editor, MIDI Event list, MIDI Inline Editor
Works in combination with Action: Set action loop start (only valid within custom actions) (Cmd ID 2001). You can build a simple loop inside your custom action (a.k.a. macro) with these two. This action will spawn a dialog window asking whether you want the macro to continue at the loop start (OK/Enter key) or with the next action in the macro (cancel/Esc key).
Action: Prompt to continue (only valid within custom actions) (Cmd ID 2000)
Sections: Main, MIDI Editor, MIDI Event list, MIDI Inline Editor
This action will spawn a dialog window asking whether you want the macro to continue with the next action in the macro (OK/Enter key) or stop right here (cancel/Esc key). Especially useful when troubleshooting complex custom actions.
You could also use this to do some simple kind of "branching". For example combining 2 actions in a macro which should not always executed together ("cancel" discontinues the macro).
note: during the pausing fx controls are still operable via mouse, Reaper Userface is not.
