Sending OSC values from Reaper to Other Softwares
Hi All !
I've been trying quite a few alternatives on how to be able to draw a track envelope in Reaper and be able to send these values out of Reaper via OSC with an OSC message address that I can configure.
I'm on Reaper 5.40, OSX 10.11.2, with Pyhton 2.7 and 3.6 installed.
My first attempt was using the .ReaperOSC method for control surfaces...
I've been able to read OSC message from Reaper creating a dummy plugin with a slider, then I created a .ReaperOSC layout and I have been able to read the messages out of Reaper with a simple OpenFrameworks app (c++) but the address was fixed to the format "n/track/@/fx/@/fxparam/@/value" ... I've tried to get rid of the @ and so be able to configure my own OSC address but I couldn't make it work if i took out the @ from the definition of the OSC address ...
Then I learned about beyond.Reaper option ...
So I try to install it. I followed the installation instructions : first I had installed on my system Python 2.7, and I read that beyond.Reaper needs 3.4+ version of Python. So I downloaded and installed Python 3.6 from it's website ... Followed the instrucions on beyond.Reaper and got stuck as I couldn't make Reaper to recognise my Python 3.6 dylib (DLL) files ... So Reaper got stuck to Python 2.7 while I need the new one to try out beyond.Reaper ...
And so I'm tired and so frustrated that I'm writing to the forum to see if any "Reaper Angel" has the solution on how to be able to use a "track envelope" (that i can draw) to send OSC messages to a custom made OSC addres ...
Does my question makes sense ?
I've read lots of forums posts, but I couldn't figure it out ...
Is Python the best option for such thing ? or maybe Beyond.Reaper ? or maybe LUA ? or maybe EEL2 ? Which option could be easier to read a track envelope and send it through OSC to other apps ?
Thanks for any idea ...
