FX Device - Macro&Env Modulation, Parallel FX, Preset Morph, FX Wrapper Etc.
FX Device
This script is now available in ReaPack
Features:
Macro modulation
Envelope Modulation
Preset Morphing
Change Modulation type
FX layering
Allows up to 8 channels of parallel processing, simply drag and drop fxs to assign them to the right channels.
Ctrl-Click: Rename channel Alt-Click: Delete Channel Double Click: Reset to default value
Band Splitter
You can add FXs that would only affect a certain frequency range.
Pre/Post FX Chain
Drag FX to edges to put them in Pre/Post chain, FXs in Pre/Post chain will stay in the beginning/end of the chain.
Layout Editor
Create custom UIs without coding, spent only about 20 minutes to make the one shown below.
Bitwig's modulation system is the best around, sadly Reaper's parameter modulation isn't even close to it.
About creating feedback loops in a modular way by adding different modules in the feedback chain it's not possible. (except if i'm missing something) Doing that with modular is way much easier and opens up lots of possibilities.

You can enable feedback at the track routing level, but that comes at the cost of higher CPU usage.
file -> project settings -> check allow feedback in routing

Seems like there's been a lot of interest in this for a long time, and the fact that it's still not implemented means we're probably not getting it any time soon : /
Currently there's actually ways to do many of the aforementioned things, it's just the workflow is far from ideal and makes you not want to use it..
It's clearly nowhere near the flexibility of bitwig's system, but I've done some sound design stuff with it myself.
I've come across many of your scripts and FXs in the past, thanks for your contributions!
The hackey machine script looks amazing! I just thought for my workflow personally I'd use it for visualizing different channels routing within one track, rather than showing all tracks in the project. Which unfortunately is currently not an option I think?
reaper just sucks (really really sucks behind) when it comes to inside track fx and modulation routings...

hackey machine looks great, but I don't use it for the same reason.
Ok the desire to want this is too overpowering and so I decided I'm gonna make this myself... This is what it looks like atm https://ibb.co/TRpCCPt
After spending time with reaper's api (And many nice contributor's api and gui extension) I'm feel pretty optimistic about this, I think I can build something that's fairly close to what I have in mind.
I'll report back with the progress in a few months : p

Maaaaan I'm speechless :O
I've always wanted an option to show the fx all together as a rack so thanks a lot, and this seems very very promising!
Will it be possible to add modulators to modulate the fx parameters too?
Excited, I'm looking very forward!

I can't seem to open this.. also any update on this?
I worked on this feature for about a week and so just want to share this update: it can now control Pro-Q in this nice little window inside the script GUI!
@fero@reaper sorry I forgot to reply you, the link looks fine to me, I'm embedding the picture below, see if you can see it:
@BryanChi
Have you made some kind of EQ GUi in ReaImGUI ? Very advanced stuff !
Yes, the math aspect of EQ is way beyond my level to understand, but luckily I was able to find some resources that takes care of that so... I'm just glad I can finally move on to other features now

np lol,
but damn, that looks sickk!!
That Eq looks amazing..
Can't wait!
I've always wanted a horizontal fx mixer thingy..
are you planning to add like, parallel processing as well like bitwig does??
idk if that's even possible tbh.
But would be very impressive.

btw what are those "slider 1..2..3..4.." ??
Thanks!
Yes parallel processing is also possible, it works pretty much the same as in Bitwig, see the gif below:
a few notes:
- The ugly red color will be removed, it's just to indicate the fx is currently in a parallel processing container.
- I forgot to show in gif, but if you drag the yellow bar it will change the layer's level.
- you can click the s and m button to solo or mute the layer.
- you can add up to eight layers if you press the little + button below.
- you can shift click on fx title bar to bypass it, or alt click to delete.
The sliders are for modulations, right now there's only one type which is macro, but I'm planning on adding other types like envelopes, LFO, step sequencer, follower etc.
Wow that fabfilter eq control is super impressive. I've always wanted to develop something like this too, happy to help if I can.
nvk!! bro I saw your script a while back and it looked super useful, still haven't tried it yet because I hadn't spent much time producing. Anyway I'll dm you if you're really interested in helping me develop this!

ummm,my guy,when??????? This looks like the "fx container" feature we've all been wanting!
@dna598 @XIAOXI sorry guys it still in development, if things go well maybe in two to three months! It's currently unsafe to use, could make your computer explode
Thanks!

Bruhhh....waku waku...!!
If and when this drops, IT'S GONNA BE HUGE....
Just the parallel processing aspect is enough to sell the tool lol..
I too love the capabilities of Bitwig's operators/devices that assist in modulations,
would be a genuine game changer for sound design in Reaper.
Those infinitely changing patches have always been a task to replicate.
honestly cannot wait for this mate - if reaper just had a drum machine and built in sampler like bitwig or ableton does it would be unstoppable workflow wise
i know there's reasamplomatic - but there's nothing as good as bitwig or ableton's native ones without plugins and even if you can do the same thing, the hassle is just not worth it and ruins your flow and thought process easily
and the fact you can drag in a sample onto the track area not the arrange and it goes into a sampler automatically. that's a gamechanger for workflow and i wish reaper had that, and a more modern sampler as well as a multipad drum sampler ala bitwig or ableton
but the fact you're scripting the modulation thingy as well as the fx rack is incredible i just cannot wait to use this mate it looks immense for resampling and just ease of use on big stupid projects
