Does it need to have a unique GoZone name? Then from within the FXMenu it's just GoZone...
Would the FXmenu not be enough?

GoZoneFx doesn't really do it IMHO either.

OnFocus does this too

BTW Thanks for fixing the scrolling, selecting a track on the surface now puts it on the left hand end of the on screen mixer when ToggleScroll link is activated.

Well you still need an Action for RotaryPush.

The Action can't be GoZone, because GoZone requires the Zone name, and in this case it's the Slot.

Cool, and thanks to @poetnprophet for pointing back to the working implementation.

I'll take your word for it, over my head I'm afraid, lol



Anyone know what you can do, if you find a plugin with 4 "On"params?

Apart from just use it by hand.

No even a plugin I use, but just came across it and onc you use one "On the rest disappear, if you manually insert them into the zon file with note++ all the buttons work the one onscreen button.

Poor code i guess.

What about double wet? Reaper Wet and plugin Wet?

Good suggestion about the scrollbar on the Configurator, nice to be able to have a quick look through what's available

As to the plugins that have multiple parameters with the same name, I'm afraid we're a bit stuffed. If you really want to map one of these, you can run it inside BlueCat Patchwork and assign its automation hooks via the Patchwork auto system.

The reason the identical names don't cause more trouble outside of CSI is the fact that DAW automation systems use the internal plugin automation indexes to assign the parameters, not the external names.

Unless there's a way that Geoff can give us access to those indexes, it is what it is i'm afraid

This turns up all the time. As far as I can tell, if there's a plugin parameter called 'wet' it'll take precedence over the Reaper one, for no other good reason than it comes first in the list. Same applies to 'bypass'.

BTW Sorry I completely missed your pm from a few days ago. I never think to look for them (actually you're the first person who's ever sent me a pm)

I thought 4 "on" was lazy, but that's just insane. I hadn't realised before that there were so many repeats.

No worries the post you put up of your C4 blanks got me going, thanks.

And the scroll on the raw text is prefect, actually the whole thing makes the takes so much less taxing.
It's idiot proof, I'm proof lol

It's not something high on list for plugin manufacturers. Maybe CSI will push it up that list

Well, there is a way to get access to those indexes, but.....

It will require an FXZone format change...

The original thinking was to simplify the file formats as much as possible for the user.

That's why we used FXParam Name.

It'a actually a PITA code wise.

FX don't allow you to query an index unless the FX is live -- that is you have a working instance of it inserted somewhere.

What really happens is the Zone Activation on a particular FX (yay, we have a live one) causes the FXParam name to be used to look up the index, but as you point out it takes the first one it encounters.

Now, I doubt I would mention this if folks had to enter this manually -- too much room for error, but we have an opportunity to fix this now that you've done such great work with the Configurator tool.

Here's what I propose for the new format:

Code:
Zone "VST: ReaComp (Cockos)"
	SelectedTrackNavigator
	Threshold FXParam 0 Thresh "Thrsh"
	Attack FXParam 2 Attack
	Release FXParam 3 Release "Rel"
	Ratio FXParam 1 Ratio
	Compressor FXParam 19 Bypass "Byp"
	Parallel FXParam 20 Wet
ZoneEnd
Now if we could just find those indices.

Aha, they are right in front of us

It's simply the order they appear.

The first one is 0, the next 1, the next 2, etc.

So you could simply use the index of the dropdown(or something similar) to auto gen the numbers needed for the new format.

I was hoping this duplicates problem wasn't that bad, but we're getting far too many anecdotes this early, better to fix it now and be done with it, what do you think folks ?

If it isn't going to be a ton of work for you, I'm happy to change the configurator (and about 200 plugins, third time's the charm)

Geoff you are a mind of knowledge and a freaking genius,

MixMonkey just when you thought C4FXconfig was sorted...

I hope it's not going to be a total painITA to add the numeric's?

The indicies are always the same though, right? (every time the same plugin is loaded) and you're sure that they just start at zero with the first name in the FX Param list and increase by one with each parameter? I guess they could be output with the names by FX Param as a check.

Yup, always the same unless the manufacturer changes the FX

Here's the actual code that generates the list:

Code:
for(int j = 0; j < DAW::TrackFX_GetNumParams(track, i); j++)
{
    DAW::TrackFX_GetParamName(track, i, j, fxParamName, sizeof(fxParamName));
    //DAW::ShowConsoleMsg(("\n" + string(fxParamName)).c_str());
    rawFXFile << "\n" + string(fxParamName);
}
As you can see, it is definitely zero based, and definitely index based (j = paramIndex).

Also realized we don't need FX Name anymore.

You just have to output the index and then either the name or the alias, if present.

Just have to tie the name (that the user deals with) to the index that (CSI uses)

Instead of the name that's used at the moment, I propose we use something like:

Code:
1Threshold
2Ratio
3Bypass
4Bypass
This will let users differentiate between identically named parameters. It might entail a bit of trial and error on their part to work out what controls what (I use Patchwork for this as it has a learn mode as well as a list of parameters- very handy plugin)

It means that they'll need to type an alias everytime, but they're probably already doing this anyway (I know I am)

Don't forget to start at 0

Maybe some parse magic where the entry in the FX params column and the dropdown looks something like "0 - Threshold", but the code logic places "Threshold" in the cell -- with the number stored conveniently somewhere out of site

Bonus prize if they select the mapped cell and the correct cell in the FX list gets selected too (or something like that) to indicate what's what

Also, if you run of things to do , you could add support for an alias for the FX name itself, this will be used for the FXMenu Zone concept we've been discussing...

All of this is already coded at this end, it was almost trivial

I think you're going to need to see the number in the cell, otherwise you won't be able to tell indentically named params from one another

How about an alias as the second line in the FX.zon file? If you want to make up a syntax I'll put it in .

OK, but instead of having everyone have to type aliases all the time, put the parsing magic just before output, splitting the string and either putting out the stripped param name (e.g. "Threshold"), or, if present, the alias.

Well it's already coded to work like this (and it is optional):

Code:
    Zone someZoneName someZoneAlias

With the new change coming, both with FX slots and index thingy....will we still have SelectedTrackFX? If so, will we be able to use both?

Yes, that's why ToggleMapFX (which really means ToggleMapSelectedTrackFX) was important

There will be a new action ToggleFXMenu.

So, ToggleMapFX and ToggleFXMenu, along MapFocusedTrackFXToWidgets will comprise a very powerful trio

hey Geoff, sorry to report but the new build (compared the the build just before) that fixes the scroll link now makes the mapselectedtrackfx not work very well. First selection will map, next selections doesn't and the displays are not updating. Also sends shows the -150 when you select another track with less sends.

but, if I select on the screen in Reaper, everything updates properly.

Thank for testing, fixed -- will be in next build, hopefully tomorrow.

Be warned all FX .zon files will be broken in the next build.

The new format is being worked on by @MixMonkey (YAY), probably as we speak

Indeed ...and here's the first draft. It's not as robust as I'd like but should do to check the basic functionality. The # and > functionality (remove widget and GoZone) are broken at the moment.

Could you check it out Geoff, and see if it's output ties in with your new format?

NOoooooOOOOoooo! Jk...although I may not get to test for a while, got some work to do.

Will the ZoneRaw files be any good still? Or no. I just started generating them, now I get it. Neat!

They should be, fingers crossed. The tie up with the index numbers happens in the Configurator, using the same FX Param output.

The old FX.zon files won't work though.

I did a super quick check, all looks good.

I have a few finishing touches to put on FXMenu and will then post a build that will work with these new FX .zon files.

Probably have something tomorrow

Just wanted to check, Alias, am I going to break anything if i replace the pre-generated (which is a nice touch) with one of my own?

Doesn't seem to , but seeing =IF(ISBLANK..((...........))))) when you double click, could be quite unsettling for some, not me tho, i'll just see if I break it.

Has anything been finalised about the FxNameAlias for FXmenu?
It would seem to me that the Alias should be in the fx Zone file, and that we should be able to decide it within the C4Fxconfig.

Why not just try it, I'm pretty sure it will be fine.

You can look at the generated file and make sure your alias is there.

Yup, FXMenu is all coded and working here, build will go up soon, a couple of hours or so.

Syntax is:

Code:
Zone someZoneName someZoneAlias

New build is up.

FXMenu is operational, but primitive.

Here's the basic stuff needed:

Code:
Zone Buttons
	Track ToggleMapFXMenu
	Send ToggleMapSends
	Pan ToggleMapFX
        ChannelLeft TrackBank -1
	ChannelRight TrackBank 1
        ...
ZoneEnd

Zone FXMenu|1-4
	SelectedTrackNavigator
	DisplayUpper|  FXNameDisplay |
	RotaryPush| GoFXSlot |
ZoneEnd
