MIDI Hacks: Showing only notes from a selected scale in Piano Roll (Rapid-Fire Reaper Tutorials)
Once again we’re answering a question asked on Reddit about how to select a scale and see only notes in that scale. I personally don’t need this stuff cuz I wasted 4 years of my life getting a music degree lol, so I dunno if my fix is the best/fastest way of achieving this, but it’s not bad either once you set it up!
