MPL InstrumentRack
InstrumentRack is a lua script for REAPER.
Coming from Cubase 5 I missed neat VST Instruments window with all VSTi plugins used in current project. In REAPER tracks are universal, there are FX Bay, track selection actions, and other ways to quickly access instruments. Anyway, here is a quick port of this nice window...
Requirements: - REAPER 5.95+
- SWS 2.9.7+
- ReaPack 1.2.1+
Download/Install: - run ActionList > ReaPack: Browse packages...
- navigate and install InstrumentRack and Various_functions packages

rEALLY COol
This is really useful, mouse wheel support for scrolling when docked would be great for projects with many tracks.
Thanks.

What is "renders in place" ? You can move item after freeze. Just unlock it.

Very useful Mpl thanks,this brings a faster solution to automate instrument parameters!Any chance for future update to automate effect parameters too? By the way when i dock it to the left and resize the window there is an empty black space and in order to get away i have to click somewhere else.Any idea of this?

It is already possible. You have to add needed controls to TCP.
I didn't found proper way to say reascript to do a GUI refresh when change dock state. Any help here (as github direct commit) would be much appreciated.

I tried this but when i open a track with fx only and add the controls to TCP still doesn't show R-W.It only shows when i first open an instrument on the same track and then add an fx.Am i doing something wrong?

It works also here for instruments,what i meant before was if is possible to write Fx parameters the same way as well,e.g Reaeq parameters.

If you meant FX parameters on tracks same as instruments, then added as an option for 1.06, otherwise it doesn't designed for such task.

Just found out this today via ReaPack and it's awesome, mpl!
I wonder if is there any option to add new instruments in this window, using this script, just like Cubase. Or maybe a shortcut on the window itself, with the action "Insert Virtual instrument on new track"

That's great, but is there a way to show only the instruments? I tried to do myself editing the script but I'm not very good at it

Brilant stuff as always.
I think it would be cool to have an option for sorting. Like:
Sort by track number (as it is now)
Sort by Online status (then sorted by track number) - this would be great to see the active ones on a group.

so if there is automation on the track and it is affecting a VSTi, we need to check the R button or does it just light up on it's own? ...or???

Hi.
Thank you for this great script.
I have a question.
Can I hide specific plugins?
Especially, I want to hide RS5K instances from the rack.
Because I use a lot of RS5Ks and they filled the whole of the rack.

Anyone using it?
If no, I`ll move this to outdate scripts repository.
If yes, I`ll rebuild it using fresh framework.

WHole up hold up whole up!
Yes in combination with your rs5k manager this is the only place i can quickly open the different instances of reasamplimatic quickly.
For me and how i use reaper the rs5k manager turns reaper into an soft mpc. I love having each instace on its own track but having to go thru my track list and find them is cumbersome.
The instrument rack request;
-reflect tracks color.
-maybe i way to group which instruments are in folders (ie all reasamplimatic instances in a folder be indented?)
-name instrument not connected to track name option.
-more freeze options in menu, indivual freeze options or in the settings maybe an option to freeze to mono.
-On or enable seems a bit confusing, i understand the One is for when the track

I just discovered it. Seems useful and brings me back to the CubaseSX days, but the text/controls are too small on 4K. With a way to scale them I could see myself using it.
A cool feature would be a way to save the full instrument rack or selected instruments as a track template (ideally with either full track FX, or up to the last instrument).
That would make it easy to save/reuse instrument racks from existing projects since they are already nicely grouped together.
Not sure how doable it is, but if the "TrackTemplates" folder had a subfolder called "InstrumentRacks" being able to load those from a menu in the Instrument Rack would be handy too.

It depends on how your project is organized. If you have all instruments placed in a same group, you can simply save it as track template, no script needed.
