Hi! I need some advice. I have a controller called faderfox dj4:
http://faderfox.de/dj4.html
By default this controller is oriented to be working out of the box with traktor or ableton, but am using it in reaper, and it is great.
This controller, accepts CC messages to control the green Leds in the panel. So if i send CC 64 to midi in of controller the led is lighted, if i send again the led is turned off. Something like this.
I would like to do a plugin (JS, EEL, c++ / Juce, i don't know) that could control this lights in a way that makes sense. Imagine the light tell's me slot 1 plugin is bypassed or Not.
I am not into C++, but i want to dive in, but this seems not to be best case to go! (too much work/complexity/lack of examples, maybe compared with other ways, and having juce shoudn't be needed)
In reaper world i have done just lua stuff, almost nothing else. So i am blind!
I have been thinking, altho i don't know very well , difference betweeb JS and EEL.
That this should be probably the best way to go.
I want to have access to midi messages and reaper api . I thought that probably i'll have a good reference of code if i get per example a midi delay in js or EEL and do the code i want based on this. Midi can be a deep/ complex world is my idea : ) and i want to avoid spending many many hours on this ! i prefer spending more programming time on other stuff.
Someone with more experience! any advice or examples/code that might easy things up for me?
JS is the way to go? EEL (?)
Am i thinking right?
Thanks a lot! Cheers!
