Default Cockos Reaper_www (Web control of Reaper) New plugin

Here

Happened to mention to Justin that i was thinking of using an old PDA to control Reaper for some stuff and BAM RIGHT IN THE KISSER

Features
Near realtime update
Track ID
Mute
Solo
FX enable/disable
Metering
Volume +label
Pan +label

Read the instructions in the .zip
Has been tested with iOS and Firefox but also i have it working in Chrome and JBM has it working on Android.

Test as many browsers as you can and let us know
(Keep in mind this was a "Yeah i have something that might do that" kind of deal so don't expect a thousand updates a week like Reaper (Although honestly i think this is rather a big feature haha)



Running in Chrome

Oh its open ended too
Look inside the main.js for details, this can be configured to control much most things in Reaper (Just need the right javascript)

Whhah?

Similar to something like Max for Live? If so, then the main difference would be latency vs sample accurate timing.

How high level are the functions?

It uses the same API that the SWS stuff is built on
So it really is very very powerful
I'm no coder but i am sure somebody out there is going to go completely nutso with this and come up with all kinds of mad control options.

No, it's for remote control (via web browser). You can write the UI for the remote control using html/javascript/ajax.

Many applications. One would be for wireless remote control of REAPER via netbook, laptop, tablet or iPhone etc. Handy if you track on your own.

Sell your Tranzport. Use your phone (assuming your phone is fancy enough to handle the task.)

I wonder if there will be a spike in Tranzport eBay auctions now...lol

Interesting.

A guy in New Zealand could be controlling Reaper with this, while I play...

Some people replicate part of the screen on their touch screen devices to control parts of the DAW, but with this you don't even need to have those controls onscreen.

Cool stuff. Another wow.

I have the same issue, I think I followed the directions in the text file (but I still suspect user error). Tried Firefox 4 and from another computer, but no luck. This is still real cool and seems like a good approach to this kind of thing.

I hope this doesn't stay lost in LOL for long.

Well Multi touch Android pads at about 10" are shipping for less than a Behringer BCF
So you could have a touch screen controller just for you faders if you wanted to, maybe even a small 7" android or old PDA or phone to show action buttons on its touch screen

The perfect use for this is recording yourself, your normally away from the computer, so use your phone or pad to control Reaper while you record haha

The possibilities are near endless for this

well a vnc connection will let you see (a little of) your screen - this will let you put together a customized and efficient remote interface. Vnc is also irritatingly slow.

Works in Opera 11.01 and on my Android MyTouch 4g with default browser. On my phone with wifi on I used my machines IP and on T-Mobiles internet connection I use my ISP provided IP. I did have to go into my routers firewall and open the port tho. Also, I tried putting it in MY default plugin folder but that did not work. I did have to put it in the REAPER/Plugins folder as the txt files said to do LOL. I like this setup for when I am at my drums better than fingerplay midi.

Holy Crap.... ppwazup just solved my problems.... I feel stupid. All I had to do was follow the directions and put it in the actual reaper plugin folder...

This is awesome

Make sure you copied the .dll and the folder that is needed to the reaper plugin folder (Not your vst folder)

If localhost doesn't work , try changing localhost for your machine IP address

Hopefully that helps

Thats what we need hahaha somebody who can code to do an AJAX interface and update the main.js to support more control.

heh, spent a few minutes just now (after a nice big lunch)
I tried recording but it threw some kind of error and crashed everything, other that, looks pretty good...


To get some folks started on the customization, here is how to add "Previous Marker" and "Next Marker" buttons:

Open up index.html, and below line 169 (after the transport img tags), add the following:
Code:
<img name="transport_marker_prev" src="img/transport_marker_prev.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(40172)">
<img name="transport_marker_next" src="img/transport_marker_next.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(40173)">
Then, place the attached images in the "img" folder. Not bad, eh?



Any action can be added like this (well, I'm assuming), just check "Show action IDs" in the actions menu for the correct code, and give that to the "wwr_req" script function.

eh... I'm inspired anyways hopefully I'll have time to do more, especially the js stuff, allot can be done for more functionality! I'm insanely busy though, so maybe later...

File Type: png transport_marker_prev.png (1.0 KB, 833 views)

ahh Youn shows the way... thanks.

one little bodge have just tried is using googlesites to put the controller page in (2) iframe gadgets so that it will keep the transport always visible whilst scrollling down through tracks.

am sure theres a neater way of arranging things, but this was code-free and you can add more iframes of various sizes that host modified index.html's (maybe?) for extra buttons etc. and arrange them as you wish.
example:

transport buttons stays on top

ahh yes, floating bits like that are super easy with some basic css. Check it out:

Code:
<div id="transport" style="border:2px solid black;padding:12px;background:#45555f;position:fixed;">
  <img name="transport_home" src="img/transport_home.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(40042)"><img name="transport_play" src="img/transport_play.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(1007)"><img name="transport_pause" src="img/transport_pause.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(1008)"><img name="transport_stop" src="img/transport_stop.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(40667)"><img name="transport_end" src="img/transport_end.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(40043)"><img name="transport_record" src="img/transport_record.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(1013)"><img name="transport_repeat" src="img/transport_repeat_off.png" onClick="javascript:wwr_req(1068)">
  <BR>
  <div id="transport_text"></div>
</div>
<BR><BR>
<div style="margin-top:70px;">
  <div id="tracks"></div>
  <div id="log"></div>
</div>


All I did was add a "style" tag to the transport div.

Then, to offset the rest of the page, wrapped that in another div with a top margin of 70 pixels.

Customization...I see.

Not to take anything away from what this person has done, but if you want to easily create user interfaces for your control, you might want to try this.

Basically, you can layout your elements in a GUI designer and then convert to html. The html buttons can trigger midi, udp, osc, etc. back in your project. In all honesty I created it, so you can lambaste me for doing this, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

I can probably interface my code with this .dll if you really want me to...there may be a way to utilize it just like it is actually.

This Person would be Justin the developer of Reaper, So i am quite sure this is the best solution for Reaper, However your app looks very cool and if it could be used with this plugin to make custom control UI i would be on it like a fly on sh*t.

Thank you so much Justin for this great addition to Reaper.
I have a question though. My DAW is connect to the router via
cat5 cable and the devices I am trying to control the daw with
are connecting to the router via wifi. I am able to get it to
work using the same machine but not my wifi devices. Thank you
for your help and enjoy this beautiful day!!!
