Fast FX Finder - Add VST's, templates and fxchains

[X-Raym]

@n0ne
Wait, there is few issues with current ultraschall integration...


I will propose you another code as soon as I identified all the issues.

[n0ne]

OK. Thanks for the help!

[X-Raym]

@n0ne
While trying to overcome ultraschall API issues, I end up with a working solutions without dependency. I'll extract the code later.


Meanwhile,


it seems that partial string match doesnt match of JS file name



See how meter doesn't reveal vumeter in fast finder FX while it do"es on FX browser.
Or maybe I don't understand the bug completly neverless, "js meter in filteer doesnt reveal "vumeter JS" for some reason.


Thx !

[X-Raym]

Ok so here is my code for applying FX chains files to takes :



https://github.com/ReaTeam/ReaScript...0to%20take.lua


it also uses mpl take extractor :



https://github.com/ReaTeam/ReaScript...TakeChunks.lua


(you can just copy these functions to your script, it is more a code snippet than a dependency).



It has been tested on various conditions (multiple takes, multiple FX, JS, multiple OS etc) and it seems to work well so far :P

[n0ne]

Thanks X-Raym! I'll dig in to that asap.

As for the JS search, I think it only looks in the description. But the result you are looking for could be done with "@js meter". Lmk if that works for you.

After installing R6.04, i get this error when running script:
"Ini file does not exist: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\REAPER/reaper-jsfx.ini"
(File is there ok. - NOT)
(Maybe that forward slash should be backslash? - NOT)

Ehh, EDIT: File was not there actually. Had to open Add FX window to re-create file. Just see, I'm not even using Reaper's Add FX window anymore… Guess I have to run it here and there, just to update file lists.

Thanks Sonicowl, there was acutally a bug. Should be fixed now. I couldn't test it on Mac, but should be fine .

Fantastic work! Thank you!

[Coachz]

Love it !

[Thonex]

What an excellent contribution!!

Thanks so much!

Many thx to OP !

I just installed the script.
I run it and then i see only 50 thirdparty plugins in the list, while i have way more thirdparty plugins installed.
Reaper's native plugins are not even in the list, also no track templates.

Also: when i click on a plugin in the list, that plugin isn't added to the FX chain of a selected Track and the script just closes.

Am i missing something ?

I am on OSX Catalina, Reaper mac version, latest.

It shows only the first 50, but when you start typing it selects fx among all your installed ones (and shows only first 50 results)
You can change 50 tonanother number I think. Maybe in the .ini file

Aha, i get it now, thanks for your help !

@n0ne

Hey I've found a little bug.

With 2 displays config if your main display is on right side and your second display is on left side running Fast FX Finder you will have an error, because it's save window.x value as negative number. It's still working as intended though

And thank you for this script it's amazing

[n0ne]

Ohh thanks for the feedback, will fix this!

[Skorobagatko]

I'm getting this lately, every time I launch the script:

Ini file does not exist: C:\Users\Roman Skorobagatko\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\reaper-jsfx.ini

How to fix this?

This solved the issue

[n0ne]

Yeah I think installing reaper updates deletes the jsfx ini file. Opening the default FX browser recreates the file and resolves the issue. I'll add that to the error message on the next update

[Coachz]

Is there a setting to insert track templates at the same level as the selected track?

[vanhaze]

I love this script very much, muchos gracias !

However, i experience that you must have a Track created+selected for the script to work.
I would like to see an option in the script that creates a new Track with the selected FX plugin or Instrument plugin inserted.

Thx in advance !

[TonE]

Like ordering a drink. Cool, reaper community way.

+1 for this!

[X-Raym]

Report: if the console is restored with left corner witg a negative X value (aka, left corner offscreen), a console message appears:


jSettingsGet(): setting type does not match for: window_x. Wanted: number, got: string



Though, the position is restored well anyway.

What do you mean by same level? For me track templates are inserted below the selected track.

Definitely open to looking at this, however right now I am personally doing this by making Track Templates for my instruments.

I'm assuming this would be mostly used for inserting instruments on a new track?

Thanks Ray, I heard about this bug, its on the list

I see what's happening now. If I select a child track and the track below it is at a higher parent level then it puts it at that level when I insert a track template. If there's a way to stop that, I'd be happy to do it.

I think the inserted template track should always be put at the same indent level as the currently selected track.

thx for this handy feature!
I found after inserting FX by
selecting FX chain.
the FX chain window doesn't show up automatically.
is thrr anything I need to tweak 1st ?

Do you have a selected track? Do you mean the fx is not loaded or the fx window does not open automatically?

Hi Coachz !
yes I did select track,
I mean I saw it inserted FX as I expected, but the FX window won't pops out automatically , this only happens when I inserted by fx-chain.
if I insert by VST it wrks normally.

here's my video: (the 2nd test is VST)


I was expecting it would open target track's FX-Chian window if I insert by FX-chain.

Cool, maybe he can provide an option for that. Would be cool if in the effects list if you just hit enter it would not open the window and if you like alt click or something that you would get it opened.

Hi all! New version is up!

0.7.24
+ Fix negative screen coordinates error message
+ Updated error message when JSFX ini file does not exist. Updating Reaper deletes this file and you need to run the default FX browser once.
+ Added colors for different type's of FX
+ Added option to float fx windows after adding FXCHAIN

Not entirely sure about adding FX on a new track as this can be easily done by adding a new track or using Track Templates (which gives users way more flexibility as well).

Hope everyone is staying healthy!

[vanhaze]

Thanks a bunch !!

Hi thx for the updates !
I'm not sure, but float windows after adding FXCHAIN seems not wrking on my end.
Is thrr something I missed ?

(VST / AU they float just like b4.)

here's my video

[X-Raym]

Thanks for the colored results ! Nice UX improvements !


for the overlap issue,




I think one single background rectangle at right edge with label size max with could do it, it would have just to be drawn before labels and afther results names.

Make sure you set the option in the ini file (default is off):
fxchain_float_windows=true


@Ray: ohh that looks gross, will have to fix that!

[vanhaze]

If i may, regarding a FR:

I do like having the option in the Script to create a new track under a selected track and then bring up the FX chooser window, to pick a plugin, which gets inserted onto that new track.

Just my humble 0.02 ofcourse !

[Gianfini]

Hi, is there a way to search only one type of item? E.g. I want to search only FX Chain, I could write "/CH Comp" and it finds all Chains with Comp in the name but not VST3 FX with Comp in it...

thanks
g

[n0ne]

Yes, you can use the tags, @chain for example

Can't you do this with a custom action?
- Insert new track
- n0ne_Fast Fx Finder.lua
