Yannick-ReaScripts discussion

[Yanick]

Now my scripts are in the list of repositories at reapack.com.
The repository includes some of my past scripts from various forum topics, but the name was changed to Yannick_ (with two letters "n") and the versions were dumped.
Now there will be a general topic for discussion of scripts from the Reapack repository.
Thanks to everyone who helped me create the repository!

Dear Yanick, thanks for sharing, the propagate scripts sound very interesting. I should test them to understand their power fully I guess. How are your typical use cases for those?

Hi! The typical use case is for repetitive constructs that are split into separate items. For example, ostinant melodic parts / loops, etc. When you change one item, other items are synchronized at your choice. Soon I will add information to the guide for these scripts.

NEW scripts: --------------------

• Yannick_Bounce selection (selected items on the track merge into one new item)

Updated scripts: ----------------

• Yannick_Bounce selection (selected items on the track merge into one new item)

+ Improved protection against incorrect user settings
+ Fixed incorrect work with certain settings in prefs

Thanks Yannick !! Very nice and useful your scripts and the explanation through the GIFs. I really like the ones that give the possibility to insert VSTi on the fly via pop-up. I would like to create my own list, but it is difficult for me to type some characters (eg blue comma and save the changes in the script ....). Still a great job ... thanks 1000.

A little later I will publish to the repository a script for generating the text of all plugin names (in quotes separated by commas) specifically for setting up the Popup Menu

Oh great Yannick ..... meanwhile I'm trying to do it right now. I have already entered a category for SF2 Sampler and it works great. I also added under ReaSynth, Synth 1 but it doesn't open the track and it doesn't insert it. I'm going to review your gifs. Thanks ..... really beautiful.

If you show the screenshot, it will be clearer what the problem is The names must match the names from the Fx browser, as a last resort the names of the .dll files

My inserted VSTi's are working fine. Creating a label was also not complicated. Other VSTi (eg Linplug Alpha 3 free ...) do not appear. But I read the above explained by you (precise name or name.dll) and I go back to try to customize it. Each category / label can insert X VSTi or only 1?? Last thing ... how do you save the changes? Thanks 1000

Ctrl+S? Or close the ReaScript window and indicate "yes, save"

Users who use your stuff see updates when they update packages by "synchronize packages" action. Are you sure it requires to duplicate every small package change to the thread (so you rise up your thread by any small change which make your thread always on top)? Kinda disrespectful for other topicstarters.

[TonE]

No, I like it, thanks Yannick, for informing us. Other devs can inform as well, if they want. Thanks also mpl for writing your viewing angle openly here.

[TonE]

Yannick, is it possible developing an action like:
Media Explorer: switch to project directory in media explorer

I am missing this or could not find any menu entry or action.

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, I agree, too often, so just as the scripts accumulate, I will publish news once every 1-2 + months. In any case, not all users are accustomed to using synchronize packages (therefore, you may not notice new changes...)

I would like a little more detail - do you need to open the project folder in the media explorer itself?

There could be actually a reason to post more often, even multiple times per day, but usually it is kind of discussion response, not just random update posts. Because if some guy is really interested and waiting for update, he for sure will wait for update post. But in that case he'll write about it here.

Yes, because the other variant exists already, opening the normal file browser. But I would like to open in media explorer, because there I am generating project related .mid files, so immediately jumping there in media explorer, for any project would be cool, click saving.

Hi Yannick. Hope you are well.


I'm having problems with "Render selected pre-glued items that have active midi takes and source track instrument to new take without FX".

When using it with Kontakt VST3 version I get the error "please select items on tracks with active instruments"

It works fine with the VST2 version. Unfortunately I've created a whole load of track templates with the VST3i version so going back to VST2 would be a nightmare :-)

Any ideas?

EDIT - I modified the code a bit adding "VST3i" as follows which seems to work (not sure if it's the proper way to do it though.

if buf == "VSTi" and find_second_instr == false
-- I added this next bit to work with vst3i
or buf == "VST3i" and find_second_instr == false
or buf == "AUi" and find_second_instr == false
then
find_second_instr = true
elseif buf == "VSTi" or buf == "AUi" or buf == "VST3i" then -- I added the VST3i line here
reaper.MB("Please select items on tracks with only one instrument", "Error", 0)
nothing() return
end

If this is ok, could you add it in to your version so that future updates don't remove it again?

[jachy]

"Loading FX and instruments in Popup Menu" script has this kind of a bug because it always creates folder when > is contained in vst's name like in "ISOL8 (TBProAudio) (2->10ch)". I think it should create folder only when > is at very start of a name.

Otherwise it's working nicely. I like it very much!

Thanks, this is solved already. see https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...48&postcount=2

Thanks for the report To be honest, until today I did not know about the existence of VST3i I'm sorry. So I will fix it. Please give me examples of free VST3i, it will be easier for me to test.
This code was made to control the presence of multiple instruments - this case is incorrect (and REAPER is too flexible and allows you to load VST and VSTi in a random order and in any number)

Yes, thanks, I will change the principle there Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I will update. For now, you can simply remove the last part "(2-> 10ch)" from the name. This VST plugin will also be found

I Think this might do it :-)

Your additions in the code are correct, so I'll leave it that way Only I'll send it to ReaPack in as a new version

Or maybe there is an AU3i?

Thanks for adding to the reapack version. Absolutely brilliant script. Use it every day!

Great!

[Yanick]

By the way, one more important update is needed there After delta solo appeared, the script does work incorrectly in one case, I will fix it

UPD - Fixed in v1.3!
