Reaper 6.25: VST3 support third-party embeddable UIs via new IReaperUIEmbedInterface interface

[AGIGA]

As the title says, Cockos Reaper now allows VST3 third-party embeddable UIs and I hope Vojtech takes this into consideration for the Melda plugins if possible.

Sounds cool, I would like to see an example of a third party embedded UI. I know JS can be embedded.

On a related topic, some compressors can send their gain reduction data. Although I haven't seen anything in Reaper's normal gui that responds to this, scripts can. Heda's excellent Track Inspector for Reaper receives this data and displays it on its meter. Plugins I've found that send this data include Brainworx & Waves. (I see that Pro Tools incorporates gain reduction into its meters also, and I suppose Studio One too.)

From Reaper changelog:
v5.70 - December 13 2017

+ VST: support TrackFX_GetNamedConfigParm() with GainReduction_dB to retrieve the current GR from plug-ins that support the Presonus GR API

There isn't one yet that I'm aware of, but Voxengo asked about it for SPAN. You can read the thread here: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=249521

Funny! I somehow did not read this changelog point ... hehe. While I have to admit that I would not use it, since I personally won't work in such tiny GUIs anyway, hehe.

Just in case somebody might be interested in another kind of workflow when it comes to handling GUIs fast I wrote a little script, which allows popping up a list with the selected tracks FXs. It also shows brackets for bypassed plugins and ">>>" arrows for FXs which GUI is open at the moment:



You can find the script in the ReaPack Repo under the name "FX list as popup" (accidentially I did not use Tagirijus as the authors name, but my real name, but this shouldn't be a problem, hehe).

That's really nifty, should be very useful, thanks.

I think for analyzing tools like MStereoScope (the red indicator of the stereo balance is really handy), MLoudnessAnalyzer, MAnalyzer it would make sense. Also for the EQs and MDynamics.

Thanks you Tagirijus!
This Script is amazing and a real timesaver.

If anyone is interested, the script is called "tangirijus_Fx list menu.lua".
You can load it in the action list (shortcut - ?) and assign it to a keyboard shortcut.

Go to action list and press the button "New action.."-->"Load ReaScript"
In Windows you can find the script under:
AppData/Roaming/Reaper/Scripts/ReaTeam Scripts/Fx
Now you can assign it to a keyboard shortcut:
Press the "Add.." button in the left corner->type in your prefered shortcut->press "OK"
..Done.

Edit: You must install Reapack first..

Hehe, glad you like it. And also thanks for explaining how to install it, AGIGA. I just presumed people with interest of such a script might already know how to look for scripts. But your little quick-tutorial is probably helpful for people, who don't. So thanks!

Although this becomes quite some offtopic thread now. Sorry people, haha!

[AGIGA]

Vojtech didn't respond the last time, so I need to bump it up. Sorry guys..
I think this feature would be great for the upgraded "Free Bundle" and more.
MCompressor and MEqualizer with embedded UI would be perfect to replace the
stock Reaper EQ and Comp. ALso analyzing tools like MStereoScope, MLoudnessAnalyzer
and MAnalyzer could be very handy with the embedded UI.

Thank you Tagirijus, exactly what I needed !

The script is installed but for some reason I can find it in my action list. Another script wich has pop in the name also is not showing up that's weird I've been playing with scripts for a long time it's the first time Reapack package browser shows the script as installed and it is not in my script list.

And yes I did restart.

It has different names in Reapack and Actions list:

[Tagirijus]

Yeah, thanks for explaining, ericzang and sorry for eveybody for this huge inconsistency ... my other scripts are by "Tagirijus", this scripts package also is called different than the action, oh man ... I will see if I can contact Reapack and if I might fix this ...

One of Reaper's weakness, the naming convention can be frustrating at times, it works now thanks.

[Tagirijus]

In that case it is not Reaper but me, I guess!
