I've attached the new version with the option to not show start up messages. It's Win 64 bit, I'll update the repo in a while if that's it for now.

if I load reaeq in a track and goto the EQ button on alphatrack "no ReaEQ found" message appears. Sure I can goto Plug-in but this EQ button has worked some tome ago.

Hmm, it works here on Win 7 x64 with Reaper 4.78.

edit: it uses the name to check so won't find it if it doesn't have the letters "ReaEQ" at the beginning of the name, in case you've renamed it. Or if you've accidentally categorized it an instrument, because it looks for "VST: ReaEQ" and won't find "VSTi: ReaEQ".

mmh, then it seems like a bug for win8. I haven't renamed anything and i'm on reaper 5beta 64bit on win8.1 64bit.
the strange thing is, if i load the plugin from the right click menu (fx button) it won't be recognized, but if i load it from the recent file list it does work after delselect and reselect the track.
I will try find out more...

I finally found the bug!

I have created 3 tracks.

the first one loads reaeq with drag and drop from the fx window. This is the output:

<VST "VST: ReaEQ (Cockos)" reaeq.dll 0 "".....

the second one loads the reaeq from the right click on the fx button "recent fx". The output:

<VST "VST: ReaEQ (Cockos)" reaeq.dll 0 "".....

the third one loads the reaeq from the right click on the fx button "add fx" -> "<Cockos>" The output:

<VST "ReaEQ (Cockos)" reaeq.dll 0 ""...

You see, the missing "VST:" is causing the trouble.

I will post it in the prerelease forum, can it be fixed?

Cool, good work... I've attached a new version that checks for just "ReaEQ" at the start of the string too. So it should be fixed with this plugin but I'm sure the devs would want to know anyway. Please let me know if it does/doesn't work.

Your new version works as expected, perfect thank you!

Just got an Alphatrack so I'd like to thank everyone involved in the development of this, worked out of the box.

I have a question, if I solo a track via ALphatrack which is a Group Solo/Mute/VCA master it Soloes, but doesnt affect the group as if I click the Solo button with the mouse.
I don't understand why, is there any workaround?


(The first and last times I solo in the gif is with the Alphatrack)

Thanks!!

I would really appreciate if someone could take a look at my previous post. The gif is a little confusing, but it has an aclaration at the bottom.
Thanks!

It looks like grouping works with mouse clicks or touches. If you run the action "Track: Toggle solo for selected tracks" you'll get the same behaviour as the Alphatrack. It actually triggers that action in track sync mode or CSurf_OnSoloChange when not in track sync mode and they both have the same result.

So it looks like any adjustment kind of needs to be at Reaper's end, although maybe there's a clever reason it works like this that we can't think of.

Thanks a lot for looking into it Lazarus! Hopefully a Reaper dev may look into it then.

You're welcome, it really seems as though Toggle Solo actions should do the same thing as toggling with the mouse.

Default Send mode not updating in window.

Hey everyone.

I just got this AlphaTrack and the AlphaTrack PRO plugin.

Awesome.

While going through the doco and checking things out, I found that the Send mode in Advanced send isn't updating the mode property (in the window anyway) in real time.

I bring up the Routing window in Reaper and change one of the Send modes on AlphaTrack but the property doesn't change in Reaper. If I close the Routing window and then re-open it, I can see that the Send mode has in fact changed.

I'm on Reaper 5.01, Windows 10.

No big deal, just thought someone might like to know.

Default El Capitan is super annoying.

Howdy, it's been a while. The AlphaTrack has been a super handy component in the studio, so another thanks to everyone involved. I'd still like to use it, but unfortunately I bought a new phone and was forced to upgrade to El Capitan (grrrrr)and of course the Alpha no longer is found. Does anyone know how I can get this rectified? I would be totally happy to pay for a driver update if someone knew the ropes. Is anyone else in the same boat?

I just wanted to add that you need to download the official Alphatrack driver and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode, if you are on Windows 10.
Here a guide for anyone who don't know how to do the compatibility thing:

Does anyone else have problems with alphatrack not starting correctly? I sometimes have to un-plug re-plug it, mess with the driver or restart reaper for it to work.

Yes, every time, for years.

Have you found a consistent way to make it start? I have to do different things each time.

Yes, unplug, re-plug, go to REAPER settings, open all of the control surface menus, then click ok and close. Then the CS is reinitiallised. I believe there will be a future REAPER update that includes the Refresh control surfaces action to make this a touch easier.

In the end, we still don't know if it's REAPER of our devices failing with old age.
Interestingly, I know that mine will still transmit everything to REAPER (fader moves, buttons, etc), but it is not receiving anything at all, so fader jumps back to unity position, no text on screen, etc.

Thanks. It surprise me if there is already a script the refreshes CSs out there

It works flawlessly here.

I am wondering if maaaaaybe this could be updated to include new stuff like latch preview mode and stuff.

Best

Hi

Just wanted to add my thanks to the developers of this. I bought one about 6 months ago, and it wasn't working properly. Until i found this thread yesterday and now it's improved my workflow no end. I'm noq using markers for the first time instead of just regions etc. Anyway i'm sure you all know how cool a Control Surface it is, for very little money. Even just knowing what track is selected and being able to scroll through them quickly is handy as i've just started using a template with 14 Busses and groups feeding into those and all the subtracks with my favourite VSTs in place already to go so i don't have to hunt for VSts (i'm rubbish at remembering what things were called). It's overkill but with the Alphatrack navigating it is easy!

Anyway thank you once again.

Hello! I've been having problems with the Alphatrack starting on Windows 10, Reaper 6.

It used to work fine and if not, an "un-plug/re-plug -> edit Control Surface window -> OK" would restart it and fix it, but lately after who knows how many system/daw updates it it is acting very randomly.

Sometimes I get it to work by re-plug, or changing the USB port, or unpluging/repluging all devices, but sometimes it won't happen after trying all this tricks. I can't seem to find a working pattern anymore.

So I'd like to ask the Alphatrackers out there, what are your current working Alphatrack licks.
I have to say that I love this device and I really hope it will keep going for long!

Best!

I have no real idea but when installing the Korg NanoKontrol stuff i noted the point about the first 10 midi slots being important. So i used the Korg Utility to delete anything i could that was before it in the list. That seemed to work. Problem is, things seem to get ahead of it in the queue again. I'm not sure if this is a fix or coincidence. But something you could try and maybe let me know. Because it could then maybe look at a more quickly repeatable fix. eg script to update the registry or just save the entry that works and reimport it at start up. Or some such hack!
