Feature I would like to see

alphabrackets23 — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 23:52:26 +0000

I do a lot of Audio->Midi for chord voicings of guitars and pianos. So when you do the Rip, and it displays the Midi pitches on the "Keyboard" interface, you can select individual notes. When a note is selected, you hear that note's contribution to the sound. This is a good thing to use. What would help me out is if one could continually play only the selected notes, without playing the unselected notes. Either I don't know how to do this, or it can't be done. If the latter, this would be a feature recommendation.

What I can do now is Copy all of the selected notes into the paste buffer, and paste them into a new empty project. then I can delete them one at a time, when I find a note that is not really making a contribution to the chord. But it would go faster if I could do the thing I described in my first paragraph.

Thank you

MIDI tempo track not exported?

Amutimer — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 10:47:58 +0000

Hi Guys,

My objective is to create as accurate a midi file as possibe of the song "Machine Gun" by the Commodores ***including the tempo***.

I actually bought RipX sometime back mainly for that purpose. But in my ignorance I used Ripx wrongly. I made stems, imported them into Studio One and then used Melodyne to make midi from each stem. It worked, but badly. I then had the epiphany that Ripx could make midi files directly. I know, I'm a slow learner.

OK, so I dumped the audio of Machine Gun into Ripx, and very soon I got a message telling me that Ripx had used an improved algorythm to line up the bars - and it had. The bars lined up with the audio in a very musical way. All good - better than good actually!

But when I imported the midi file created by RipX into Studio One I found that the tracks all played at a uniform 120bpm which is the default tempo of S1. This was so whether I exported simple or detailed midi.

120 is not the tempo of Machine Gun. Machine Gun was made in 1975 and there were no click tracks - this is a very good thing! Actually the tempo moves around very musically between 111 and 115 and it is very groovy indeed!

So here is my point and my question.

In order to get the barlines right RipX must have made a tempo track, but apparently it does not get exported with the midi file, so the midi will not track with the audio...Why? Is there a way round this?

Actually I have tried to get round this myself. I created a tempo track using Melodyne and then imported the midi file from Ripx into the S12 session, but the midi tracks were unresponsive to the tempo track - I repeat, this was so whether I used simple or detailed midi.

OK, so you see my problem. Is there a way round this? I am on RipX basic 803. Will it help if I upgrade?

Regards

Adrian

Which version of CUDA Toolkit is required for RIPx v8.0.3

Sealard — Fri, 15 May 2026 17:48:55 +0000

I'm about to take delivery of a msi geforce rtx 5060 ti 16g and have been reading through this forum for tips to prepare for the install.

I read that v11.0 of the CUDA Toolkit is required (2 year old topic), is this still the case with RIPx v8.0.3

The 5060 requires v12/13 of CUDA, can anyone advise what install steps I should take to help get RIPx to utilise the GPU? :)

Djamana — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:42:10 +0000

I use RipX 8.0.3 (Dec 2025). It's using Python 3.9.
On https://python.org/downloads it was announced that Python 3.9 has enters it's end of life at the end of 2025

So are there plans to update RipX's Python version yet?

Separate Music into all instruments and vocals?

Dale McCl — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 19:54:29 +0000

When splitting stems I usually prefer just two stems: all instruments in one stem and the vocal in another.

In RipX DAW, I can only find a way to split each instrument into its own stem, plus a vocal stem. So I get a bass stem, a guitar stem, a strings stem, etc.

Is there a way to get all the instruments in one stem file and the vocals in a 2nd stem file?

Split a note using the API

nogueiraantonio@hotmail.com — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 15:01:05 +0000

Hi,

in the documentation there is a reference to a split_at method associated to a note object. However I cannot see it in the interactive help (intelisense) and when I invoke I get an error stating that the note object has no split_at attribute ...

Am I missing something?

Many Thanks,

Antonio

MIDI not showing as export option

cleartrueblue — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 21:49:18 +0000

Perhaps I'm making an error...is there an export scenario where it would be expected that MIDI is not given as an option? I've tried multiple files multiple times and MIDI is not showing as an option.

Is a new license required to update from 7.x to 8.x?

md_4242 — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 10:55:38 +0000

In December 2025, I purchased a license for RipX version 7.x. My RipX installation is now offering an update to version 8.0.3, and I would like to know whether installing this update requires purchasing a new license.

Auto-Scrolling / Playhead Follow

darkMatter — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 02:18:37 +0000

Is there a way to disable playhead following when playing your rip? I just downloaded the new v.8 the other day, expecting this option to finally be added, and still can't find it. It's absolutely infuriating to continue losing your place when trying to edit a rip because the screen keeps moving. Am I missing it somewhere or is it somehow still not implemented (like every other DAW) yet?

Note playback stutters

YUU122 — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 03:11:57 +0000

When clicking the first note and immediately clicking the second note, the beginning of the second note’s playback stutters. However, if I wait for the first note to finish playing before clicking, there is no stutter. As a result, when quickly clicking a series of notes, stuttering occurs multiple times.

Last month, I tried the 7.5.1 version for 21 days, and I remember not encountering the issue described above during the trial.

After the trial ended, I purchased the standard version of Ripx DAW, and version 8.0.0 was released around the same time. After updating, I noticed this problem. I thought it might be an issue with the standard version, so I activated the upgrade trial, but the problem persisted.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as using the repair option in the application installation interface, but none of these resolved the issue.

I am using a laptop with a Windows 11 system, NVIDIA RTX 5060 graphics card, 32GB of RAM, and Ripx DAW is installed in the default directory.

Additionally, I activated the upgrade trial last week, which was supposed to expire yesterday, but today I see it still has 7 days of trial time left. What is going on with this?
