There will be enthusiastic young dev padawans out there who, faced with the reality and potential cost of corporate "altruism", may seek to instead build their modest plugin fortunes around an open source format like LV2; being then able to express themselves freely, without the fear of being yet another victim of corporate profit seeking, and monopolistic intent. Not that i'm cynical.. Alex. Last edited by alextone; 06-09-2018 at 04:50 AM. |

Me neither
Still vst3 ought to be doable for linux too, maybe that's the future It's tiresome though that corporate issues hold back users...

There are some bugs in that script which I could occasionally trigger, sometimes it will fault accessing FFX which ends up as nil. And a spotted a typo, I'll post this in that thread though. |

Yes, it is there on the track and all seems to be working other than not drawing the controls. That's partly why I wanted to try it in Windows, just in case I was doing something wrong. Maybe it's one of the bugs you mention though, let's see what the author has to say.

I'm not sure what the issue is but I tried one more time and now it is working so it looks like there isn't a bug, probably user error.

Is there a way to get plugin and dialog type windows so they are not contained within the main reaper window? I'm using KDE Plasma and I know ardour has something in their online manual about this, specifically for KDE, but the tips there don't seem to have any effect on reaper, unless I just didn't set it up correctly.
I keep losing FX guis and it becomes quite fiddly to have to go back to the track and open it again rather than just alt-tabbing. |

It'd be nice to have the option you describe. I did not find an obvious place in the KDE settings to achieve it. I tried to whip up a custom window settings to force a certain window type on all the reaper windows. (settings -> window management -> window rules -> [rule] -> appearance & fixes -> window type -> [force] -> Normal Window ) which worked in general but had no effect on the task switcher. Can you provide the link to the ardour setup docs? |

Sure here - http://manual.ardour.org/ardour-conf.../kde-plasma-5/
I just tried your method and I can alt tab through open windows in reaper. Reaper still shows up as one window in the task bar though. Does Windows reaper act like this? When I ran reaper with wine I seem to remember it acting the same but I assumed it was a wine issue. |

[RE:] half-broken left mouse button!?
Ran into the same weird left mouse click behavior you described, similar environment:
Debian Stretch (9.3) libgtk-3-dev 3.22.11-1 Kernel 4.9.0-5-amd64 Reaper v5.92pre2 (77f83f) Installing libgtk2.0-dev 2.24.31-2, compiling libSwell with GTK2=1, and running Reaper with the new libSwell solved the issue for me as well.

Hmm, could have sworn that this worked before. Let me see what I can figure out. Don't know if something has changed in swell or in kwin.
Edit: Try with gdk_owned_windows_keep_above=0 too? Think that is what you want. Like that I can alt tab between the main reaper window and children.

project notes always opening
In the linux version, I somehow got to a state where the project notes opened every time every project was opened, regardless of the state of "Show notes on project load" for the individual project. This happened after intentionally enabling that value for one of the projects. After that, every project would open with the project notes and that checkbox would be checked regardless of its past state. Disabling it and saving a project had no effect.
But I looked in reaper.ini and found "opennotes=1". I just changed it to "0" and the problem is gone. Any idea how this "master" show project notes option gets set? I can't find a place in the UI to adjust that. Is there a switch somewhere? I tried to reproduce the issue with a new reaper.ini and could not. |

Thanks, fixing. This is a bug in all versions -- if you save the default project settings with that enabled, it will enable it when loading projects that do not have notes (though if the project has notes, it respects the setting of the project). |

Alternatively is it possible that you have multiple reaper.ini files? Look where the executable is, in ~/.REAPER and in ~/.config/REAPER.

A headsup, it seems abique has fixed the resizing issue with u-he plugins in vst3 format. See this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/UheOnLinux/...bra2_rev_7468/

Control Surfaces
I have 3 MIDI controllers: Keystation61, BCF2000, and BCR2000. At first, nothing worked and I had no MIDI ports at all. Then I tried running jack with the following:
Code:
jackd -Xalsarawmidi -d alsa --device hw:2 -r 88200 -p 256 > jack.log & Then I went to set up my BCF in Mackie emulation mode (which I had working in Wine+REAPER, so I know it works in general). Under Control/OSC/web configuration, I can add a Mackie Extender, and can select the MIDI ports then hit OK. However, nothing happens. No error, but no response from the BCF and REAPER does not respond to the BCF. When I go back into Control/OSC/web configuration, the Mackie Extender I added is still listed, but when I click Edit, the window is blank, except for the 3 dropdowns to select mode and midi ports, with only the mode still filled out (midi ports are no longer selected). I can set it up again, but it just does the same thing again. Also, not sure how to reproduce, but a few times it somehow changed the mode to Faderport instead of Mackie... This might require a bug report but figured I"d call out here to see if anybody else has had any luck...maybe I'm just doing it wrong. |

One tip, AFAIK with JACK1 you ought to use the -Xseq parm for jack. With JACK2 you have to run the a2jmidid utility. Maybe the -Xalsarawmidi parameter creates some problem?

What's annoying, is that initially I had no midi ports in JACK/REAPER at all, and googling "jack midi" should have lead me to this, but few of the results were even related to jack proper and even fewer referenced midi configuration. Oh well...at least we got there eventually! Thank you very much. Now, as far as I can tell, all of my gear is working and I can FINALLY get back to setting up my workflow and making music \o/ Cheers EDIT: Full disclosure Code:

Just to be clear, now that you have
a2jmidid --export-hw are there changes to the previous command: jackd -Xalsarawmidi -d alsa --device hw:2 -r 88200 -p 256 > jack.log & Do you just omit the -Xalsarawmidi? or? Congrats to you and Jack Winter for teamwork! Cheers |

I'll bet there are dozens of those Behringer devices
owned by linux users, who temporarily gave up hope on full usage. This might even drift over into FB1010 guitar controller territory. Cheers |

Speaking of guitar controllers, the Primova MIDX-20
dual usb host gets a positive review in the new Electronic Musician mag, and they mentioned the control software works pretty well in 'Wineskin' which is new to me. (Primova recommended testing in various window-alternatives, and no mac version exists) They mention it's internal midi bridge working with Fender Mustang and Boss Katana usb amps, and good control of McMillan Softstep2, Boss GP10, Roland GR55, Roland MBD-1 bass/drum module, and Fishman Triple Play, and immediate response to analog foot controllers 5pin midi i/o or merge two bi-directional usb jacks 2 trs jacks for expression pedal, footswitch etc There is a recessed button that can set things up without a computer, based on poking it in various combinations of speed and number, arcade-like, but apparently works. http://www.primovasound.com/ Last edited by 4duhwinnn; 06-18-2018 at 08:31 PM.

Have you tried a periods/buffer of 3
at 44100 or 48000? Is there anything running at higher priority than your audio? Seems like if it's up and running, the glitches should be defeatable... I have a pretty standard intel computer, but the usb implementation is a ratsnest! Cheers |

There are 2 types of midi ports, ALSA and JACK. JACK1 contains an internal client to bridge between them, while JACK2 needs an external utility. Personally I have no clue how well this works as I don't use midi..
Hopefully reaper will get support for ALSA midi too some day soon. What to do if it's glitchy is something I really can't advice on. Maybe try to troubleshoot it well and post here. I think control surface support is something very much untested in reaper for linux. Edit: Yes the suggestion to try 3 periods / buffer, bigger bufferzise, etc is probably a good one. Also possibly to make sure that you've raised the priority of the soundcard interrupt if you haven't done that already.

I bought myself a Roland SPD11 last week which I plan to use to feed midi into DrumGizmo. I haven't looked into the Jack / Midi / Reaper combination yet ...
ALSA midi would be nice, as the Jack implementation seems complex and prone for error. I can't really play the drums, so I expect to do a lot of midi editing anyway |

I stopped using a2jmidid -e due to lags and stuck/missing notes and other issues. Then started using ALSA Sequencer MIDI driver and problems are gone.
If you use jack1 you can enable it as Jack says. I have jack2-dbus and have to enable it using "jack_control dps midi-driver seq [dps period 64 dps nperiods 3...]". In jack2 I guess it'll be "jackd -xseq [...]" |

I run everything in default priority; no realtime. Even if I set high priority and realtime, however, I don't think that would sort this...It's far too severe to make me think it's a raw performance/scheduling issue, but again: I could be wrong so will save that as a hail mary. Quote:

I think I've come across a couple of bugs.
Sometimes after rendering the screen stays dark after closing the render dialog. If jack is not started sometimes you get the windows saying that it's a demo, and the no devices found, but the main reaper window never appears. It is running in the background though. |

I've done a bit more troubleshooting on my control surface issue. Mainly, I completely forgot that they were plugged into a USB hub. So I rearranged such that they are now plugged directly into the computer.
First, I tried and failed to figure out what kytdkut was talking about. Then I started over on everything I've tried so far, thusly (after removing the USB hub): Tried running JACK with "-Xalsarawmidi" again (sans a2jmidid), and weirdly, instead of previous symptoms (which were basically no comms with the control surface at all, and every time I tried to edit the entry under Control/OSC/web, the dialog was blank with only options to select mode and MIDI I/O), now I get the new symptoms that presented in a2jmidid - rare/intermittent input from buttons and jumpy fader movements from the control surface to REAPER). The interface issues seemed to clear up after removing the hub....? Failing the retry of -Xalsarawmidi, I then tried a2jmidid without the USB hub, and encountered the same symptoms as above and prior. Now it's late and I'm drunk. I'll probably think of more troubleshooting ideas tomorrow. The USB hub just seemed like a likely suspect, and I think I've proven that not only is it not the culprit, but have presented even more evidence that the issue is related to this build of REAPER and control surface handling. Of the 2 ALSA midi to JACK options I've been able to try, everything is fine until I try to set a device up as a control surface. --- Quote:
If the main window is going black, try tapping F11, then again a second later (it toggles full screen though I've had troubles if I leave REAPER in fullscreen, then quit...when I restart the window won't show...Unfortunately, I can't remember how I fixed it). Still probably a bug but seems there's ways around the couple of GUI/graphics glitches I've come across. Last edited by experimentfailed; 06-19-2018 at 06:48 PM. |

I'd say one thing to check for sure are midi cables, not using a HUB, different midi ports and possibly to make sure that it's alone on the midi port. It's very well possible that the problem is something else, but they are normal culprits for midi problems.
I still think it would be worthwhile to change the priority of the interrupt handling the usb hub. How to do this is quite difficult to explain, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Would you consider coming to irc:freenode.org #reaper-linux for some online help? Otherwise investigate using rtirq or udev-rtirq. That said I'm not sure that anyone has used control surfaces with reaper on linux yet. I know that some people have asked for help on irc, but don't know it ended and if they got it working. I also know that a bug or two have been fixed in reaper regarding this, maybe there are more...

No MIDI cables or physical midi ports are in play. Just using direct USB from the control surface to the computer (took the hub out as well, if I didn't mention).
I'm certainly willing to try just about anything, at this point, so I'll poke my head in on IRC asap to see about interrupt priority and/or any other suggestions people there may have. Probably this weekend. The main reason I'm pretty sure this is a bug in REAPER, and not related to hardware or system/kernel configuration, is because everything works swimmingly when I directly enable the device under MIDI Devices instead of going through the Control/OSC/web configuration. The UI for that is a bit buggy on top of the extreme data loss. I'd be happy to use the control surface as a normal MIDI controller, if there was some way to set up the fader banks, but I'm just not sure if that can be done without some kind of extension that is outside of my ability to write at the moment. Anyway, hope to chat on IRC soon. Thanks for all the help so far! Cheers Last edited by experimentfailed; 06-22-2018 at 05:09 PM. |

I just downloaded the latest native REAPER 5.92 and I've some issues (which also are present in previous versions) I'm not sure if these can be considered to be bugs
1. When using the zynaddsubfx plugin (zynfusion with new GUI) I'm not able to use the keyboard to save presets, even when "send all keyboard input to plug-in" is enabled. The same happens with Redux, i.e. not able to edit the phrase editor. https://i.imgur.com/a5qisKd.png https://i.imgur.com/ub7h69q.png 2. When switching to the mixer view in full screen mode (i.e. undocked) and opening e.g. the JS spectrum analyzer plugin, the plugin window doesn't stay ON TOP of the mixer window, but always goes behind as soon I click something in the mixer. Is this only an issue with the linux version? I have Debian 9 with XFCE . This (https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=190005) did not help. Plugins loaded in Carla stay open, while e.g. the Cockos Spectrum analyzer does not. 3. Likely this is normal, but in order to open the menus at the top you always have to click with the mouse, i.e. the scroll bar does not open automatically when the mouse arrow moves over it.
