Some nice stuff!

+ FX: for VSTs that support gain-reduction reporting, allow embed UI for this meter
What other plugins than ReaComp support this?

+ IDEs: improve international keyboard support on Windows
Does it mean full unicode support?

+ Media items: add option to preview grouped item selection on mouseover or marquee selection
Sounds nice, tomorrow we'll see how it looks.

+ Video: add get_host_placement()
What this is about?

The meter embedded ui is very interesting, hope they also add support to view the settings on a eq also is the plugin manufacturer responsible for adding this option ???

"+ Razor edits: improve behavior when "overlap and crossfade media when finalizing razor edits" enabled [p=2623951]"


Thx you!

ReaComp has its own UI. This is for plugins that support the Presonus GR API, apparently Softube does?

Should be improved, at least.

+ Video: add get_host_placement()

We added that API for jsfx in a previous build -- so FX can determine what track/item they are on, for gmem use etc.

Great!
Noticed that items remain highlighted when grouping is disabled if they were highlighted at that moment.

I'm no longer able to type double quotes, single quotes, accented letters, etc. in the IDE. I've rolled back to v6.72, and then it's fine again, so I'm guessing it's related to this change:

+ IDEs: improve international keyboard support on Windows

I'm running Windows 10, and my keyboard layout is United States-International.

Note that I don't really know either, but I think it allows you to use EEL2 to generate JSFX/EEL2 code. So if e.g. you have this code to sum up a bunch of sine waves:

sum = 0;
sum += sin(1*x)/1;
sum += sin(3*x)/3;
sum += sin(5*x)/5;
sum += sin(7*x)/7;

You can replace it with this:

sum = 0;

<?
  i = 1;
  loop(4,
    printf("sum += sin(%d*x)/%d;\n", i, i);
    i += 2;
  );
?>

I think this will generate the code at compile time, so both code fragments are equivalent (because @sample-code size for both is the same).

Hi Justin

in 6.72 Official release I see it's already implemented and it works. But it's not listed into the changelog on the download page

Why did you select them in the first place if you don't want them to be selected?
Maybe a not good analogy, but it's like expecting unmuting grouped tracks after you muted lead track and then disabled grouping. So generally speaking you want law to work backwards.

Does Fabfilter support this yet ?

I‘ll certainly ask ask both Fabfilter and Klanghelm to support it if they do not already.

I'll repeat myself (again):

In REAPER v6.0 - December 3, 2019 embedded TCP/MCP UI was added, so you could put parts of plugins inside control panels.
It's just you couldn't show gain-reduction meter inside TCP/MCP before v6.0.

Improving international keyboard support meant worsen local keyboard support.

I can confirm that with normal US layout it works, but not with international US.

+ Media items: add option to preview grouped item selection on mouseover or marquee selection
It's not selecting. It's highlighting items when grouping enabled and mouseover (or marquee selection). You can see that items highlighted when grouping disabled and no mouseover (if you previously disable grouping on mouseover). This is obviously a bug (easy fixable I believe)
You can enable it in preferences->appearance->media. Checkbox "highlight grouped items on mouseover"
I'm pretty sure you'll understand when you try it yourself.

Ah, thank you for pointing it out (I didn't know there is an option and it is disabled by default). Sorry for not understanding.
Now I can confirm this behavior. On the other hand the devs probably didn't expect someone would disable grouping by shortcut while hovering over grouped items.

Yep, this. The EEL2 in the preprocessor has a completely independent namespace/memory space, too. Take a look at the updated versions of super8 and loudness meter and channel mixer if you want to see it in action.

Hmm my Windows doesn't seem to list US international, but I was able to duplicate some issues with US Spanish. Fixing for the next build, hopefully!

Not sure if this relates (sorry if not). Would be amazing if we could get a fix for the VirtualMidiKeyboard for German Layouts (QWERTZ). When we are playing the Z and Y --> those letters are exchanged on German Keyboards (compared to qwerty) and therefore are the notes G and D. (my muscle memory isn´t a big fan of this behaviour... )

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

BTW: is it intentional, that this dev-release is 6.73+ and not 6.72+ ?

[anomar]

If it helps:
Here keyboard is OK!
My native language is Portuguese but I use this configuration:

System: English (United States) Internacional
Windows Display Language: English (United States)
Keyboard: United States International Keyboard
System: Windows 10
Physical Keyboard: Apple Keyboard Standard US

This is a nice feature but I think the GR meter moves too fast and the readout is hard to read.

1) I don't think we need the two letters "GR" there.

2) Please make the readout to stick at the highest value and reset with playback stop/start

This is exactly what public testing is good for, thanks Daodan!

You can create/edit a file reaper-vkbmap.txt alongside reaper.ini which lets you change it, e.g. https://stash.reaper.fm/8772/reaper-vkbmap.txt

If you follow this instruction, you should be able to find this layout among others. Maybe they've added it later, but in 20H2 I have it.

Not related, because there is a file, where you can edit key map. It is in root folder: reaper-vkbmap.txt. For German you'll probably need something like this: https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...4&postcount=10

Ohhh, I'm definitely gonna give this a try!
It should help mimic "object" array in JSFX

What's the usage / use case for _suppress ?

Thanks !
