How to rename MIDI Notes

November 11, 2022

One of the things that makes drum programming much more enjoyable is naming your MIDI notes.

This way you can have a nice map of every sample available. No more memorizing or guessing 😄

How to

Just double right click on the piano roll and set a name for each key.

Btw, this works better if you switch to named notes mode. Shortcut: alt/opt + 2

Save and load

You can save and load your custom names for later use. To do this, go to File > Note/CC Name > Save or Load

You don’t have to do all the manual work, though!

Someone probably did it already for you 😉

Check out the REAPER Stash where people upload tons of custom MIDI maps for many instruments!

You can load these using the method I explained above 🙂

Hai there!

I'm Alejandro, and I created this ad-free page to give you the best experience learning REAPER.

If you find my work helpful, please consider buying me a coffee. That'd help me cover the costs of this site and gives me more time to create free resources.
