MIDI 201: Linking MIDI Items using Pooled Source Data (Rapid-Fire Reaper Tutorials Ep46)
One of the viewers of the last episode, where I talked about Layering Synths using one MIDI item, mentioned Pooling, which is something I shot in the last episode but edited out, but it is a great feature so I thought to dedicate an episode to it.
Pooling allows you to link MIDI items anywhere in the project, and editing one would apply those edits to the other.
