Full changelog - Latest pre-releases

[Justin]

Oops there's a bug in the goniometer mode (mode=2) mode of the oscilloscope video processor preset, when using non-square videos output.

To fix:

-    xp = ((cx*2+cos(ang)*dist*gain)*project_h-dotsize)*.5;
+    xp = cx*project_w + ((cos(ang)*dist*gain)*project_h-dotsize)*.5;

[JamesPeters]

Minor bug with frequency spectrum analyzer slope control:

When recalling a preset that involves a specific slope setting, it recalls the setting 0.1dB higher than it was initially saved. (Also after loading a preset, it doesn't update to show the slope setting until playback is started.)

Fixing, thanks.

Can't duplicate this... hmm

# embed fx: add actions to show/hide all embedded UIs, or navigate previous/next single UI

awesome thanks!

[Robert Randolph]

+ ReaFIR: fix potential graph move when shift+clicking a point [t=212541]

Ahhhh, finally I can continue not using the plugin that I never used until I could embed it in the TCP

Thank you (Really, thank you)

Here are some videos I made while working on the stuff for piping audio data from JSFX to video renderers:







(tons of fun)

[JamesPeters]

This visualization is far superior:



When are you going to release that video processor preset?

[D Rocks]

Thats sick!!

A preset that takes any input and turns it into a kitten video would be awesome.

[sonicowl]

Justin, Winamp had tons of visualizations. Would it be possible to include those into Reaper, so that it is rendered in video output, and also so that it responds to audio in real time?

[sonicowl]

+ Video: added preset for Decorative Oscilloscope with Blitter (requires included JSFX video_sample_peeker)


Would it be possible to get Decorative Spectrum Analyser too, with line bars? Like this: https://youtu.be/Q8X5TiBJRYA?t=2m2s

Winamp? Man this is the REAPER forums. What does Justin have to do with Winamp???

[Travesty]

Justin made Winamp

[Dannii]

Loved the videos Justin... All four of them. Great feel. Reminds me a lot of long days and nights jamming with a band I played keys for in the early to mid 90s.

reminds me of the time when these 'plants' replaced the 'brew fluids' - around the beginning of the '70, I'd guess

Wow! Never thought that would happen. Interesting!

KITTENS ONLY.

Yep, doesn't translate too well over the internet

[Justin]

Hmm yes video processors need fft() etc. Adding

How about multi bandpass, like in graphic analysers? Split by 1/3rd octave, or at least by octave. To have gmem for each band.

[mawi]

These visual effects are great!

3-dimensional ? (x, y and t)

BTW.: do we already have Quaternions ?

-Michael

[nofish]

Seeing work on visualization I'm tempted to ask if there's a chance to bring the old Winamp visualization back (or other means to use Winamp visualization plugins)?

[Naquela]

HI, it will be nice if the spectrum analyzer folow the colors of the actual peack display settings .
Thanks

[Javier Robledo]

Hi ¡¡¡

There's a zoom level in which peaks seems not to respect AI and PreFx- Envelope values.

It's a bug????

Here's a gift showing it:



Thanks

[Justin]

Here’s a spectrum analyzer test heh:

Can you do logaritmic freq scale too?
Otherwise, great, looks really responsive, perfectly in sync.

How about pixelizing graphs, so that you get linear vertical bars of desired width? Would that be doable?
And just one graph for L+R combined?

Awesome... very smooth. I use Spectral Display for editing all the time... well, not all the time, but often enough... very handy when transients aren't helpful.

Couldn't help but notice the BG noise in the L channel of the recording

... I know... I know... never "look" at a mix!!

[Mordi]

The idea of being able to use Reaper as a visualizer is very exciting to me. I've been looking for a good visualizer for ages, even going as far as thinking about making my own using Unity or some other engine.

[D Rocks]

Beautiful spectrum views its hipnotizing almost really like it and the song is cool. I agree with the other post on the possibility of L+R combination spectrum mode. Thanks!

If I recall correctly Reaper did have the ability to use Winamp visualizers at one time.

@Justin, would it be feasible to share the global variables between jsfx and eel too? That could be pretty cool.

[mschnell]

I fail to understand the meaning of this "@gmem=sharedMemorySegmentName starting line in first 100 lines of code (also shares with JSFX)"

Anyway, sharing variables between JSFX and EEL ReaScripts has often been requested.

Hmm I suppose it could be. I think I'd want to make it opt-in though to avoid collisions... Let me think about that.

You can't share variables, but you can now share gmem[]. For example, check out the new JSFX video sample peeker, and the Synthesis video presets.

To access the audio saved by that JSFX, an EEL ReaScript could access it by adding a comment in the first 100 lines:

//@gmem=jsfx_to_video

Then it could read gmem[0] etc to get the data that the jsfx writes.

You can also attach Lua ReaScripts to those gmem sections and read/write gmem using the added APIs.

Cool.

Would I e.g. be able to do something that I currently would need to use a Midi CC message and send it via MidiToReaControlPath to trigger a script that is assigned to that CC ? Maybe I now could do a "defer" script that polls a gmem location and the JSFX will set seam.

Thanks,
