I have written some bash scripts to help me use Reaper. One I have mentioned in
another thread, which alphabetizes reaper presets. Another is to find a preset by name, across different VSTs:
Code:
function preset(){
cd "/path/to/Reaper/presets"
grep -r -i $1 ./
cd "/path/to/Soundfonts"
find . -iname "*$1*"
}
To use it, I'll type something into my terminal like 'preset vibe' and this is the result:
Code:
./vst-MinimogueLUXUS.ini:Name=Bell vibes
./vst-phybes.ini:Name=Good Vibes
./Tron/Chromatic Vibes Mellotron M400.sf2
./Tron/Chromatic Vibes Mellotron.sf2
./Tron/Chromatic Vibes Chamberlin.sf2
So it goes through my user presets and looks for the word 'vibe'. Then it goes through my soundfonts and finds files with 'vibe' in the name. Now I know all the vibraphone sounds I have.
I hope someone finds this useful, and if anyone wants to collaborate on this, or the alphabetization function, I don't know reascript but I would be interested in integrating this into Reaper somehow.
