For example:

Original structure:
PlugFolder\Plug1.dll <- original plugin
PlugFolder\Plug2.dll <- original plugin
PlugFolder\Plug3.dll <- original plugin

After automap generator:
PlugFolder\Plug1.dll <- automap wrapper
PlugFolder\Plug1 (automap).dll <- original plugin
PlugFolder\Plug2.dll <- automap wrapper
PlugFolder\Plug2 (automap).dll <- original plugin
PlugFolder\Plug3.dll <- automap wrapper
PlugFolder\Plug3 (automap).dll <- original plugin

There were several problems with this approach:
1. FX browser showed every plugin twice
2. One should manually replace all plugins in the existing projects with wrapped versions
3. After plugin updates, wrapping should be done again
4. Automap didn't have full HUI implementation and no option to remap mixer mode mappings.
Right, thought as much.

You are interested in auto mapping, this project is the polar opposite of that.

This project is all about custom mapping, not auto mapping.

It is much more manual by nature, that's the whole idea.

Please see the post just before your last post and notice that any arbitrary widget can be connected with any arbitrary Reaper Action (not just actions from the Action List, it is much broader than that).


So to use a ridiculously extravagant example on s huge scale, think Skywalker Sound.

Ok, they're going to set up for a mix.

Now, if this is a subcontract, the client will bring in reems of configuration stuff, including tech setup and customization of control surfaces.

Now, pare this down to a more modest setup, and you will see that this config will not change very often.


Still, perhaps there are pieces in this project that might help you, not sure.
