Default Problem with C4 patch adding

Hi Geoff,

I know you don't have any of these equipment anymore but I wondered if you - or anyone else - might still remember about setting parameters for VSTs.

I'm trying to support Slate's Virtual Tape Machines. I've got the C4 to recognise most of the functions, except three two-way toggle switches.

The three-way Bias switch works fine. My line in the C4FXParams file is as follows:

S3|Bias|Bias|3

An example of a non-working two-way switch is as follows:

S2|Speed|Speed|5

The C4 shows the text and the current setting but the switches do nothing.

Any thoughts?

Ahhh... Steven Slate.

I had problems trying to map the Slate VCC stuff, a lot of it simply was not implemented, or not implemented fully / correctly, (I had the luxury of investigating in a debug environment), so just a guess but that could be it, maybe someone else who has the VTM stuff knows more.

Geoff...are you the same Geoff that gave me a lesson on the UAD forums about speaker port designs a couple weeks ago???!!! I actually sent you a PM over there, I had some questions for you...!

Yes I am, sorry I don't log in to the UAD Forum much, mostly just lurk.

Anyway, re: your PM on the UAD Forum about control surfaces, ask away !

If it's about MCU, post to this thread, if it's about Avid Artist / EuCon post to this thread: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=122509.

Otherwise, probably best to start a new thread.

Hi Geoff! Ok, bear with me, as I'm a little overwhelmed here...

I'm really wanting to add a control surface for my Win 7 64bit Reaper PC. I was looking at possibly a Tascam US-2400 or the Mackie MCU PRO with extenders and C4. I wasn't even aware that anyone was working on Eucon support until that thread you showed me today. However, it "seems" like the Eucon isn't as far along as the MCU support, would that be accurate? Or, maybe I'm wrong about this...

1. What would you consider to be the best option at this time for a control surface?

2. I'm still a bit confused on what all is available when using either yours or Klinkes dll on the MCU/extenders/C4...can you clear up what is and isn't possible? Like what works and what doesn't between the two?

I'm just trying to make an informed decision, but there's so much information scattered around so many threads that I'm just confused at this point...lol, so any information you can give would be helpful. I wish Reaper wasn't so user UN-friendly
with it's control surface support...I love Reaper, but I just cant stand working with the mouse anymore...

Yeah there are a ton choices out there but, as you say, the info is spread all over the place.

The C4 was discontinued a few years ago, might be pretty hard to find.

I had an MCU and extender and the backlights gave out in less than a year -- google it -- it is (now hopefully was) a common problem.

As far as the Eucon support not being as far along, I would say it's a lot more integrated, here's a quote from the EuCon thread:

That said the Avid Artist stuff is expensive and Avid (especially these days) is... well.. Avid.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I think it's best to keep grinding through the threads researching.

Brian J, I have a Mackie Control, three Extenders and a C4. All secondhand from eBay and work fine. I've had the Control for four years and the rest between then and now, all with no problems except with one or two faders - replacements can be sourced from eBay etc. Never had a backlight issue.

They are the original, non-Pro, MIDI not USB ones.

Klinke's plugin can't do multiple extenders I don't think and he doesn't have a C4 plugin. Geoff's works well, my only niggle would be the lack of global Solo off (he replaced the button with one which launches the ASIO settings) but that's really minor.

Hello, Geoff.

Since Padre's Csurf plugin is abandoned and Klinke's plugin is highly connected to the real MCU, I wonder if it's possible to setup Wadd's plugin to control Reaper with Novation SL MkII? I mean, mapping all avaliable controls to the desired fuctions, including transport controls and still be able to get a LED and LCD feedback from Reaper to controller? The only mapping I've found in Wadd's plugin is FX mappings.

Default Original Emagic/Logic (Mackie) Control Serfaces

PLEASE can somebody help.
I have the original Emagic/Logic control surface with 4 extenders.
These were manufactured by Mackie.
They cost me a lot of money at the time, and they all still work perfectly with Apple/Logic Pro!
However, I am SICK TO DEATH with Apple, who over the years have bled me over and over again of my hard earned cash!
I dread to think how much money I've spent over the Emagic/Logic/Apple years.
I want to move to Reaper TODAY!
But I am old school, and old too!
When I do a mix, I need to ride the touch sensitive faders until the music sends shivers down my spine!
I can't do this with a mouse one track at a time!
Surely SOMEONE out there can sort this out?
What will it take?
Will someone please help me?
I'm too old for all this stress.

Yours sincerely and desperate,

Laurie Heath.

Geoff just to clarify, does your plugin work with both the MCU and MCU Pro versions?

Yes, the protocol is the same, I've used both with the plugin.

Hi Geoff, great work. I'm on OS X but what would it take to create custom mapping? I wouldn't mind paying either if that's what it took.

Anyways, thanks again!

Check C4FXParams.ini, I had a quick look and can't remember how it works myself

Maybe someone else out there remembers

I think there may some semi documentation in the source code somewhere.

Hello,

I followed the directions but my C4 it's not acting as expected.

I have 4 midi ports on my PC (2 in and 2 out) which I have cabled to a MCU and a C4.
I configured two control units in Reaper using this plugin (each using separate midi ports)

MCU is working great. The C4 is acting kinda bizzare. If I hit the lock or function buttons they arm/disarm recording on specific tracks. Same with the up and down arrows. Then other buttons do other misc things.

So the unit is communicating back to the software but something is off. Almost seems like it's not mapped right.

Anyone have any ideas?

The same MCU/C4 works great in Sonar, I no issues there.

thanks,

-David

So; I tried creating a mapping for "floorfish" a freebie gate.

Not sure if I'm doing it wrong or what... but I used examples and some of the features work but not all.

I put controls on some items (freqeuncy adjust) which then show their setting number before the name and the dial indicator looks correct (where it's pointing). But does nothing when turned.

As well the GUI does not pop up when the "marker" button is pressed.

And the default Eq example (Eq plug that comes with Reaper) does not work correctly either. I can adjust the #1 frequency and that is it, all knobs only adjust this frequency.

Has API changed? or plugin perhaps?

I'll try dumping the Cokos EQ plugin and see if it's changed since this plugin was written.

This plugin really needs an automatic mode as C4 works in sonar every plugin I have can work with C4 in Sonar. Mapping every plugin would be extremely tedious. Is the Reaper API not good enough to make an automagic mode happen? I looked at the source for this quickly I'll dig in more when I get time. Maybe I'll add this in as a project...

C4 is real handy when doing work... this is a good start but it seems unusable for real work. I can't imagine how long it would take to import all of the waves plugins... lol I'm guessing not many people care about this anymore. But I might

Great work on this module.

I am going to try an enhance it with an automatic mode.

I just finished browsing the code.

Once I finish testing the API through it's AS Perl interface I'll determine if I can even do automatic mode. Assuming I can get enough info from the API to make logical decisions I'll attempt to implement this.

1. If device is registered and already mapped it will use manual mapping
2. If device not found it will do automatic mode on the device
3. Mapping in real-time
3a. mode where you can hit a "learn" button on the C4 then select control on plug-in then press in on a knob to assign.

Worst case is I can probably still do #3 if the API isn't adequate to do automatic config.

I'll report back (few weeks)_ once I finish testing API and write some test code

Thanks for all of the work on the module! Great starting point for us Jr. people just jumping into this. It would be a huge undertaking implementing all of this from the start.

Default OS X Install?

Apologies if this has already been answered earlier in the thread, but I tried searching the thread for "install" and none of the posts that I found answered my question. I know that there is now support for using this plugin on a Mac, but where do I put the reaper_csurf_wadd.dylib? (this is a portable REAPER install). Are there any other files/folders I need to copy from the zip archive to locations in my REAPER folder, or is it just the dylib? Thank you!

Default C4 Problem

Hey everybody! Need some help please.

My setup is: MCU XT PRO + MCU PRO + C4 PRO.
The problem is that I can't get the C4 to display the plugin parameters right.
When selecting a channel with say a ReaEq inserted it only shows "ReaEQ Normal" at the top left. (See Picture in link)
All the vpots responds to the hp filter when being turned. (See Picture in link)

What am I doing wrong here?

You need a map for ReaEQ, see the very first post in this thread for instructions on how to do this -- even though I wrote this software it's been 5 years and I forget exactly how it works

Hi Geoff!

But the C4FXParams file placed in the C4FX folder already have the ReaEQ mapped, or am I wrong?

Guess I'm missing something here...

New convert to Reaper (coming from SONAR)
I've my MCU and C4 connect and everything seems to be right,
but I'm trying REaEQ, I'm not getting any parameter names displayed on the C4,and all the knobs (Freq Gain and Q) are just controlling the first frequency.

I printed the functions to a .txt file as described and noted that all the names where different, for example "SR|1-Freq (Band)| Freq |1" from the original .ini, but in the txt file it shows as "Freq-Low Shelf"

I've tried changing these but no joy.

Also what is "SR" in the txt there is "FP" "EQ" "BW" and switchs "S2-12" but no "SR"

Help needed please.

Try this:

FX|VST: ReaEQ (Cockos)|3
S2|Bypass|ReaEQ|0
SW|ShowWindow|"|0
SR|Freq-Low Shelf| Freq |1
FP|Gain-Low Shelf| Gain |9
BW|Q-Low Shelf| Q |17
SR|Freq-Band 2| Freq |2
FP|Gain-Band 2| Gain |10
BW|Q-Band 2| Q |18
SR|Freq-Band 3| Freq |3
FP|Gain-Band 3| Gain |11
BW|Q-Band 3| Q |19
SR|Freq-High Shelf| Freq |4
FP|Gain-High Shelf| Gain |12
BW|Q-High Shelf| Q |20

SR means Single Ring, it is a rotary display mode.
Others include
BW - bandwidth, the ring expands outwards from both sides
EQ -- boost/cut style ring
... etc.

That is ANCIENT code, but should get you going for now.

Here's a quick video, you can see the ring display styles : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjJ8e4-p_y4

See my sig below for the new Control Surface Integration project, and welcome to Reaper !!

BW - bandwidth, the ring expands outwards from both sides
EQ -- boost/cut style ring
... etc.

That is ANCIENT code, but should get you going for now.

Here's a quick video, you can see the ring display styles : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjJ8e4-p_y4

See my sig below for the new Control Surface Integration project, and welcome to Reaper !!

Thanks Geoff,

I'll give it a go, I did make some moves into editing the .ini and it kind of worked, I got 1 2 and 3 displayed and working, no hi shelf as yet, but I'll try this, it looks pretty similar to what I had, fingers cross.

Still no joy, 1-3 working but 4 is 1 with no labels as is 5,6&7.

Also what about VST3's looking at the waves SSLEQ

Ughhhh, what an ugly set of parameters, I'd ignore all of the MidiControl_xxxx ones.

Reaper always has Bypass and Wet, and VST's often have their own Bypass.

Not sure why the map doesn't work, you do have just 4 bands and the high frequency is of type Shelf, right ?

Hi Geoff,

Is there some way that maybe the ini file is not being re-read.
It's now showing properly with your script,
Weirdly it was like it was still stuck in the previous layout and then suddenly jumped into action, even the rough "lets see if this works" script for SSLEQ has magically came to life.

Are there any constraints I should know about, name, size, blanks lines in the .ini script?

Also is the a way to make a switch work as a knob as well, so I can either turn it or push it on/off or cycle thru?

is there a way to write the push on a knob as enable and the sweep as the freq? In short, Can I have a switch and a sweep populating the same knob?

Awesome work by the way, it started out a little cluncky but it seems to have eased it seems in to operation.

Now just to learn a completely new DAW. (after some 14 years a SONAR user and 10 a beta tester). I'm used to hurdles, heck sometimes it was a brick wall. lol

I have seen weird problems with Windows files in the Roaming directory, they sometimes have "ghosts" that seem to be stale copies, and then suddenly everything comes back together... Are you on Windows ?

As far as file format, just follow the conventions in the existing file -- to tell you the truth, I can't remember all the rules, it was a while ago, and there aren't many

As far as the combo switch/rotery thing, sure, it's shown on the Massive Passive in the video.

You did watch the 4 minute video, right ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjJ8e4-p_y4

Here's an excerpt from that map:
FX|VST: UAD Manley Massive Passive (x86) (Universal Audio, Inc.)|4
C3|Ch1LoEnable|"|0
FP|Ch1LoGain|"|0


See how slot 0 has 2 things assigned to it:
C3 - a combo switch/rotary with 3 positions (Boost/Out/Cut)
FP - an FX Parameter that is assigned to the rotary portion of C3

Good luck learning Reaper, having programmed for most of the "usual suspect" DAWs, I'd say Reaper is one of the best, but it's incredible flexibility can be daunting at times, especially at the start, have you seen Nicholas' Sonar startup guide for Sonar->Reaper users ?

I did watch your video, I'd actually watched it a while back, then couldn't find it, then realized when I did find it, it was by your good self.lol

I'll have a look for that guide, seems perfect. Not that I'm having to many issues so far, just terminology has changed.

I have realized and appreciate the power of the right click and being able to add commands in there, "oh it doesn't do that, Ok, it soon will" kind of thing.

Even just having so many great themes, to over come the eye strain is fantastic.
I was a bit disillusioned with SONAR for a while now, so used to it, but so many old problem. I'm not sure why it took a push (well the ship sinking) for me to jump.

Thanks again for all your help this far,

Is there a database anywhere of user created C4 plugins?
Are there many C4 users?

And Merry Xmas.

Hi Geoff,

Just another quicky,
Is there a way to have two sweep functions share the same know, toggle between with a push. In the same way pan and width do on the MCU?

Maybe I should just be happy I don't have a large expensive paper weight lol.

No, in that code it's hardwired.

However in the new project (link in my sig), not only can you have two arbitrary actions toggled, that is just a special case of a cycled action with just two actions.

You can have as many actions as you want in a cycled action and you cycle through them by continuously pushing the top switch.

Yeah I kind of thought that was the case.

So will I still be able to use my Mackie MCU XT and c4 with the new project or is it tablet based?
