ReaPack: Package manager for REAPER

[JamesPeters]

See this post.

Alternately you can copy some files as your backup. See this post.

Hopefully you have your old files still. If not you'll have to re-add the plugins and scripts as described in the first link.

[Delucci]

Thanks. That explained a lot, I didn't back up Reapack repositories, I reinstalled some manually yesterday, will finish today , I didnt have a lot of scripts so, lucky me. Thanks again!

Does there exist a PDF version of the user guide?

Here's one (generated from the original Markdown source using Pandoc): https://cfillion.ca/files/reapack/user-guide.pdf.

i just installed rewear_reapack64.dylib into my MacBook Pro 5, running under Catalina. I got the extension running, but ReaPack is not there. Any suggestions of what to do? Thanks

Hey all. Longtime reaper user. Grabbed the reapack extension and put it in the user plugins folder. It doesn't appear in the extensions menu. I have restarted reaper, doublechecked that it's in the proper folder, and even directly scanned the userplugins folder- all of my other extensions appear (SWS, etc.) but not Reapack. Any ideas?

Reaper-Reapack x86/x64 mismatch

[MJFarmermac]

thanks mpl! I guess being a long time Reaper user doesn't prevent you from doing something dumb... Appreciate as always the friendly and helpful denizens of the Reaper forum

How do you add multiple entries to provides in a JSFX?

I want to add both an RPL at the root plugin level, and a subdirectory. The reason being that the RPL is only auto-loaded as presets if it's at the root.

I tried:

provides: 
- Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*
- Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl

provides
Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl
Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*

@provides
Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl
Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*

@provides Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl
@provides Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*

provides: Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*
Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl

provides: Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*,Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl

provides: Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/* Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl

provides: Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*

[cfillion]

The contents of a multi-line value must be indented.

JSFX-style:

provides: 
  Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*
  Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl

ReaScript-style:

// @provides
//   Reflectosaurus_Dependencies/*
//   Reflectosaurus.jsfx.rpl

[sai'ke]

Thank you cfillion!

One is missing from the repository list (https://reapack.com/repos)

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bi...ster/index.xml

[tparker24]

Ok, so I downloaded reapack, from https://reapack.com using the big download button.

But now what?

I didn't see any info on the home page on how to install.

I checked this Reaper forum thread, but also didn't see any instructions.

Then I checked the link from the forum to the User Guide (at https://reapack.com/user-guide). (BTW, I didn't see this link at all on the home page), and I finally found the brief instructions:

Installation

Download the corresponding file for your platform matching REAPER's architecture (not to be confused with the architecture of your operating system).

Follow these steps to install ReaPack:

  1. From REAPER: Options > Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder
  2. Put the downloaded file in the UserPlugins subdirectory
  3. Restart REAPER. Done!

It sure would be nice if this Installation info was on the home page! It would also be nice if this info was in the first post in this thread.

Seems like a crucial omission for the new user. I had to go on a scavenger hunt to find it!

(Forgive me if was there all along, and I just missed it).

Hey, tparker24, I hear you. I may qualify as the most often stupefied by such things in Reaper who might come to a thread like this, and I eventually somehow got it going

Unless the theme or something I'm using makes it different, Repack's menu should show up right up top on the Extensions menu. "Synchronizing" will update the repositories you have and put their files where they belong, which is generally JSFX, which show up in the FX browser, and scripts which go into the Actions list, where you can assign and run them.

edit: Well, I just updated SWS on a newer Mac and it's at the *bottom* of the menu : o but either way, it's in the Extensions menu

"Browse" enables you to search your installed reapacks by dev or keyword
"Import" is to add new repositories
"Manage" is to turn them on or off, and manage options

more or less

Cheers!

David

The User Guide is the first link in the menu at the top of every page. (It's also in the first post.)

EDIT: I've added another link in the sidebar below the download buttons.

[tparker24]

So, a HUGE download button, but then tiny, tiny, fine print to get the crucial installation instructions? Doesn't make sense to me.

The installation instructions are very short, why not just include them right on the home page, and follow them with a note like, "For usage information please see the User Guide [link]".

Not trying to be difficult; just trying to be helpful and make things easier for future users.

[EpicSounds]

I also just redid the extension install instructions in this video

https://reaperblog.net/2020/05/howto-extensions/

[tparker24]

Nice! Thank you.

[Mordi]

Made a script today. "Move items to markers with the same name as active take". Great for syncing footsteps to a video.


Uploading now.

[mschnell]

It would be better to leave this Thread for issues of ReaPack itself, and not it's content ! Same is better discussed in the script forum.

[fuhiaka]

I have some friends using CuBase Are there any plans to allow ReaPack to work with ReaJS for finding and installing JSFXes ?




https://omegle-online.com/

[mschnell]

CuBase can't install nor use anything of what might be the content of ReaPack (e.g. JSFX, ReaScripts, Reaper extensions, Language Packs, Themes, Web interfaces.

JSFX can be run in other DAWs via ReaJS (on Windows).

[mschnell]

Hence a stand-alone version of ReaPack might be a nice idea.

Is Reapack still a no go on Catalina or is there an installation workaround? I've been trying with "reaper_reapack-x86_64.dylib". Thanks.

[X-Raym]

@Mordi
I think it already existed :P

Tell Catalina it's fine to run it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Then choose Open when prompted the next time REAPER is started. This only needs to be done once.

[dadek]

Fantastic. Had never done it directly from preferences before. Thanks!

Oh no! I did a search through ReaPack too. I guess I used the wrong terms.

[X-Raym]

Hi reapack users !


as you can see on reapack.com website, there is now a monthly donation progress bar on reapack.com !





Lets help cfillion achieve this goal !!


Any support is welcome ! Even 1 dollar monthly ! The bar is pretty low currently :P


Thx again cfillion for this great reaper extension.


Cheers !

Hi

The 'ReaTeam JSFX Repository' doesn't match with the fx i find in the github.
timewaster MidiMouse f.i , is in folder Utiliy but not downlodable via reapack.

greetings

[cfillion]

It will be available in a few minutes.

[bobobo]

THANKS

Found it now

[wwcdgm]

Bug report:

The Mac REAPER portable version of ReaPack has an installation path problem after the update, please see the picture.

If you replace the earlier version of ReaPack, it can be used normally.

[cfillion]

Thanks, fixing!

(As a workaround, move the install path one level down from the root)

EDIT: I've uploaded a fixed macOS 64-bit build at https://cfillion.ca/files/reapack/v1.2.3-0c908bc/.

Very important: It is found under the "General" Tab, within Security & Preferences. Wasted about 30 mins looking for it in other locations.

I installed Reapack 64 dll in the user plugins. When I launch I get the usual window. But when I try to access or browse anything I get:

Couldn't connect to server (7): Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Bad access

I've used Reapack before on another Win 64 laptop. Any ideas? Thanks.
