Remember jack and alsa midi and audio port connections
I guess this is a sort of linux only FR, so I ask if it's possible for Reaper to remember connections for external ports to apps.
(And a refresh button to reconnect in the event of a sudden disconnect) I use Linuxsampler and GrandOrgue for just two examples, and saving and remembering connections (I'm using jack for all of this) would help considerably. At project level would be good, and if we can save the connections in project templates, all the better. I have lots of ports in and out, and although i've been using scripts, and apps like ajsnapshot, it'd be safer to save them inhouse, so to speak. Alex.

I've been saving up for a similar request, but thought there are/were a few more important ones to get done first.
One could possibly even consider adding some kind of session support to reaper, but I'm not so familiar with different ones. So that reaper would know that LS/etc has to be started when you load a project that needs it.

I wouldn't wish Ladish on anyone, but I have used jack session, and i'm currently using NSM, which for me is the most robust and reliable of them all. If Reaper was NSM compliant, it would be even more useful, at least for me.
http://non.tuxfamily.org/nsm/API.html Still, being able to load a project with the connections saved with the project, and a little warning if something is missing would be the simplest workflow of all. Add a reconnect button, and I think most use cases would be covered, at least initially. Native support trumps secondary native support, yes?

I was going to suggest JACK and NSM support, as from what I can tell they are really the relevant ones nowadays. But I suppose if reaper would call jack_port_get_all_connections() to save them in the PRJ, then restore them on prj load, it would go a long way..

I guess, when it comes down to it, the question to ask would be: Which session manager for JACK is most likely to remain and have the best support. My thought is that JACK Session is the defacto standard since it is actually part of JACK. If I had to choose just one, I think I would start with the one that is built into JACK. |
