May REAPER now officially be pronounced as "REAPEUR", too?

Btw how are you guys finding ReaInsert? It seems to not need re pinging every 2 minutes. Still testing further but the new option works better on my system.

The automatic feature treats my digital i/o with the same latency as my analog i/o now. Almost 300 additional samples.

I posted this in the compatibility forum, sorry if it's redundant, but has anyone experienced control surface issues after this update? My presonus Faderport is no longer recognized, immediately after update. Control surface edit page is blank. Win 7 64-bit?

Oh, but we Dutch love ze the French! It's the Belgians we always make fun of...

And I haven't even started joking about median height yet. (Did you know the Dutch are the tallest people in the world?)

i have. alpha track here. no issues until maybe 2 updates ago. now i get an error control surface: error opening midi inputs and outputs.

the alpha track runs fine on my other daw.

i have 2 drivers "modes" for this hardware and both worked fine before. now neither work. it's intermittent too. will work for a while then error error error. sometimes the hardware will not work at all.

Fwiw, the OSC Control Surface feature (which does *not* communicate with REAPER using MIDI I/O) still seems to be working just fine over here (OS X 10.9.2).

is there an osc for dummies out there? i'd love to never use midi again.

Not really... but the protocol in itself (although it is much more human-readable, and much more flexible with regard to namespace) is as boring as MIDI - the interesting part is what you can use it for. And, I'm sorry to say, but that is typically much the same as MIDI: a wide variety of things.

For learning more about how REAPER's OSC Control Surface works, I found it most helpful to:
(1) read the comments in the Default.ReaperOSC configuration file over and over, again and again, and
(2) stare at the OSC output from REAPER (while changing things in your custom .ReaperOSC configuration file).
(3) Build something yourself (a layout for a touch screen device app, a patch for Pd or Max/MSP, a script for OSCII-bot, whatever... there are lots of possibilities) that responds to OSC from REAPER, and/or sends OSC messages to REAPER.

For doing (2), I just created a small script for OSCII-bot which you can find here.

If you really want to get rid of MIDI completely (imho it's way too useful to get rid of for the foreseeable future), first of all, you need a controller that can also 'speak' OSC. There aren't many dedicated OSC-capable controllers, but there are many apps for touch screen devices which can do this.

well, i just think midi is so out-dated. but entrenched too. wah.

i used to code daily. so much i don't care to do it anymore. someone else can pull their hair out. i just want to make music now. : )

Yeah, interoperability, network effects, path dependence and all that stuff sucks for killing radical innovation. But since the most profitable target audiences are pretty conservative, nobody will really hear that the protocol we use is a bit outdated.

My faderport is working fine with the update. win8 x64 running reaper x64 too.

I just updated to Reaper 4.6 and have lost ALL of my VST/VSTi's and plugin FX.

I have no idea why, how or what has caused this, but in the middle of writing an album its not the best thing that could have happened. I cant get anything to work now.

Please help!

The first thing I'd do is check in Options -> Preferences -> VST and make sure the path's to your plugins are correct. If they are, click "Re-scan." If that doesn't help, click "Clear Cache/Re-scan."

Have not experienced that myself.

Care to explain WHY it is outdated and offer an alternative universally adopted and accepted protocol to replace it?

This is a genuine enquiry - if there is anything out there that I could use in Reaper to replace MIDI I would be very happy.
But right now it is AFAIK the best option out there.

Yeah gave that a go.

So far iv uninstalled/reinstalled Reaper. Reset all the paths to all the vst's and reinstalled my VSTi drum software.

No dice. I start a fresh project, insert new track and go to add FX and there is nothing. Not a single VST or VSTi anywhere to be seen.
