JS Global Variables - regxx Master List!

[d.bop]

This thread was created to provide a list of JS plugins that are currently using the regxx variables for master/slave operation in REAPER. The purpose of this list is to avoid any possible collisions when using multiple plugins with global variables.

ATTN: Programmers!
Use this list to determine which regxx variables you should use in your plugins. When you upload your plugins, please add them to this list. Thanks!

ATTN: Plugin users!
Use this list to determine whether or not you will encounter any problems while using multiple master/slave JS plugins in your projects.

Thanks!


*Dear Mods...... sticky me?

Thank you!

I'll start

Saturation_Master & Saturation_Slave
- Uses reg99
- Download link: https://stash.reaper.fm/v/8272/satura...ster-slave.zip

nonlinear_Master & nonlinear_Slave
- Uses reg98, reg97, and reg96
- Stash link: https://stash.reaper.fm/v/8273/nonlin...ster-slave.zip

[d.bop]

Till/Transient-driven Auto-Pan v1.0 (Master) & Till/Transient-driven Auto-Pan v1.0 (Slave)
- uses reg00, reg01, reg02, reg03, reg04, reg05, reg06, reg07, reg08, reg09
- included with REAPER

Till/Transient-driven Auto-Pan v1.1(Master) & Till/Transient-driven Auto-Pan v1.1 (Slave)
- uses reg00, reg01, reg02, reg03, reg04, reg05, reg06, reg07, reg08, reg09
- included with REAPER


There will be a conflict if both v1.0 and v1.1 are used together because they share the same regxx variables.

Perhaps we should make something where plugins can register named globals, i.e. _glob_* are automatically shared across all instances...

That would be great!

Any chance, these could also be delay compensated (multithreaded render ahead, etc.)?

Not possible, no.


Getting back to the main topic:

In the next build (4.5rc2), you will be able to use _global.* across instances, and regXX are mapped to _global.regXX.

You can also use the namespace facility with this, so you could do:

function inc() (
  this.value += 1;
);

_global.inc(); // _global.value += 1;
_global.boo.inc(); // _global.boo.value += 1;

Is it possible to pass globals from eel to JSFX, (maybe OSCii-bot, and WALTER(?is eel?)). I realize that that they are probably implementations of eel inside different programs, and if so that pretty well would sum up why not. but It would open up (I'm gonna call it routing )routing.

for instance say you want some way to make a dockable gui (stuck in JSFX) of dynamic midi sliders or controls(OSCII-bot,JSFX) to control Reascript sytle stuff(eel) and send the data back to the Gui.

or +walter... use osciibot or jsfx to take in my controls and pass them to an eel script actively updating variables in walter.

could someone put some example code of how to use _global in EEL? Where are _global variables documented?
