Default Automap doesn't find reaper vst stock plugins

Hello,

Automap can find without any problems third parties vst plugins. But it doesn't find Reaper plugins.

I really don't know what to do from there.

Is there a way to force automap to look for reaper stock vst plugins ?
Where are Reaplugs VST ? Maybe if I move them in /Library/Audio/plugins/VST automap would find them.

Thanks very much for any suggestions.

I don't think there is a solution unfortunately because the Cockos plugs are built-in.


What controller are you using? I've got a Nocturn keyboard.

Yes, what I thought ...

But if there are no better solution, I'm going to try to install them as third parties.

I'm using the 49SL MkII.

Reaper 5.0/64
Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.4

But may as well use different plugins then.
Have you tried the Toneboosters essentials bundle? They're excellent

Reaper plugins are actually proprietary. I believe they share some attributes of the VST format but they are the proprietary Reaper format.

As such they are not stored in the file system in the expected plugin locations. You can find them inside the Reaper.app bundle. They are .dylib files.
You will not be able to use them with other audio apps.

Ok I've just seen that the ReaPlugs VST FX suite is only available for windows. But anyway, it was a kind of dirty idea.

The ideal would just to make automap see the reaper proprietary format. I think it should normally work.

Could someone confirm me that I should be able to use automap with reaper stock plugin ?

Novation's solution to controller mapping. Pretty nice when it works.

Maybe I'll end up doing that. Still a little bit of a pity I think. I like to keep things simple when I can, and because I really like some of the stock plugin ...

Also I really like toneboosters, I bought TB Fix, it's amazing but the history never worked.

I wish I could get Automap to just work with 3rd party plugins... The plugins show up in the Automap Editor but there are no listed parameters. I have tried for several hours to get things working like they were working in other DAWs but can't. Help...
