reaper scripter challenge

[harryupbabble]

is there going to be kvr developer challenge this year?

if so, can reaper scripters participate?

aarrghh, i just realized reaper scripts only works in reaper.

shucks. isn't there a lua to dll wrapper?

Write it in JS and any other DAW that can run the VST2 (32 and 64 bit available) ReaJS in ReaPlugs will be able to use it: https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/

If you know how to program in Lua, JS isn't much different, mostly syntax.

If JS isn't your thing you could also use something like Blue Cat's Plug n Script, which uses AngelScript, with the bonus that you can export to VST, VST3, AU, and AAX.

Then there's protoplug (first thing that came up in a Google search for "Lua VST"): https://www.osar.fr/protoplug/

Anyway, as far as I know, there aren't any limitations in the KVR DC with regards to submitting a Reaper script. Just that it's unlikely you'll amass enough votes if you are limiting who can try it out.

thanks very much for the very informative info. I didn't know that there is a vst plugin that can load js scripts. going to try that right now.

but before I go, has there ever been a script entrant in any previous kvr DC?

I don't think it matters whether you are the first or not.

Were there submittals made with SynthEdit, Max4Life, Reaktor, etc? I don't know. The rules should state whether it's allowed.

Anyway, good thing you found the scripting thing. Now use it for yourself intensively, only then think of impressing us.

There were certainly Synthedit entres before, may have even won (FerricTDS?)

FerricTDS was Synthmaker. xoxos fauna stuff was SE, though.

For the OP: 'Native' plugins go in the plugin categories, anything that is a patch for some other thing goes in Soundware, afaik, so that's probably where JS scripts would possibly go.

I didn't know that there is a vst plugin that can load js scripts.

It's only available for Windows, though. (Also I think it's not anymore 100% compatible with JesuSonic plugins that run in Reaper, the last release of the Cockos stand alone plugins package was in 2016.)

Bert, I'm not a computer programmer myself but one of my brother is but he is super busy to enter challenges but I may ask him to modify existing scripts for me for private use when and if he has time.

me impress youse? music-making-wise? unlikely. my stuff is terrible and may never improve. still, got to keep trying. it's fun anyways. but speed scrabble is more fun. and there never seems to be enough time.

Stephen hawking should a focused on life extension science.
black holes? what the?
