* Fixed: Loading and storing of preferences were broken. Furthermore, settings for Push 1 and Push 2 are now stored in separate files.
* Fixed: Track colors had flipped red and green on Mac OS X
Hey Moss... I hit you up a few months ago about this script, and couldn't get it to work... I tried all the suggestions in the thread and readme's but to no avail... I actually stumbled upon the answer today and wanted to share... Maybe you can ad it to your doc's.

As I suspected, it has nothing to do with your scripting, but rather the Mac OSX Post El Cap security (rootless SIP) which sits in the background, and stops java installing properly (But doesn't say anything)...

So here is the link to how to turn it off

http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/05/disab...tion-mac-os-x/

Maybe you can slap that info into the readme??? Hope this helps someone else along the way

Cheers... V

What plugin Repeat button should load (Push1)? On my Mac when I press it make active scene buttons only.

Any ideas on what could be happening?

EDIT: I got a lot of free RAM.

Fresh starting the computer does it. But its weird.

Default Tried everything....instantly crashes upon opening.

I've read through the app read me and thread. Tried the reinstall twice. Even tried the disabling csrutil as one user recommended and moving the folder outside of my applications folder.

OS 10.11.6
Reaper64 v5.29.0

BTW, this looks really cool. I can't wait to use to.

OSX 10.9.5
Reaper 5.29

Issues :

- no Push option shown in OSC Pattern config menu, only Transformator
- Reaper crashes because of the TCPServer.eel (the Transformator folder is on the Desktop)
- run-push2.command causes exit, I tried to run the java command (java -cp "*" transformator.Transformator true & )manually and I got the following error : Could not find or load main class transformator.Transformator

Would really like to use Push 2 in Reaper, so if you'll have some spare time to check these issues, it would be really appreciated!

Hey,

Got this setup, working great!
Note Repeat is very cool, thank you for adding it!

Upon pressing the mix button it takes me to mix selected track instead of whole project, is there a way to toggle that to default to overall mix on first press?

EDIT: I mean Mix button, to me should bring up Mix > Volume for tracks by default instead of selected track.

Default Transformator push 2 help

Good day fellow reapers,

I installed Transformtor per the instructions and i`m getting an error message
"Cannot run program "C:\Program": CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation

(JPEG ATTACHED)

The computer i have it setup on is not connect to the internet so i don`t have any idea if this could be causing the issue i`m having.

I tried to also setup a virtual network adapter so as to get a static ip address being that i not connect to the internet.

Appreciate it

Thank you

Default Selecting track with navigation buttons on Push 2

If I load more than 8 tracks in a Reaper project, lets say 32 tracks. The first track is highlighted in Reaper and on Push 2 display. Then I move the selection to the right with > button on the Push 2 everything is fine until you come to track 9 when suddenly the view in Reaper scrolls away and track 9 is the first track in the view. I then scroll left with < key on the push to select track 8 and now track 8 and track 1 is highlighted in Reaper, not in Push 2. If I use the < and > key on the push a number of times, to move selecting back and forth, I get more and more tracks selected.

Is this something you have noticed?

This is because OS X JAVA_HOME points to a previous version of Java.

I changed the run_push2.command to:

#!/bin/bash
export JAVA_HOME="/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home"
cd /applications/transformator
java -cp "*" transformator.Transformator true &

I've been using this. It is great. Thanks. Hope to see some updates:

a) more controls on plugins (1-8, 9-16 is limited, or maybe there is something I'm missing ?)

b) maybe sequencer via playtime (similar bitwig w Push 2)

c) some plugins (Waves/Kontakt libraries) for me behave hectically

Can you post the exact command you are using ?
Powershell sometimes needs quotes escaping quotes which might end up in something like
runas /user:Administrator """c:\Program..."""

Default Need quotes!

I know the answer to this problem! If you take a look at the path to Any path to a program in Windows it will look like this:

C:\Program Files\Program\yadayada

The problem here is the space! Transformer is trying start Reaper which is probably somwhere in that path but when it runs it (from a cmd file) it thinks you are trying to run "C:\Program" which is not an executable program! It's not even a folder name!

So, the answer is that in Transformator, you need to put the DAW path in Quotes: "C:\Program Files\REAPER\REAPER.exe"

I'm really sorry but I find the installation too complicated, too long. Java changes version often and the script has to be modified... finally, sorry, not the script but the path to the new version of java: this obligation to tinker is too tedious.

Documenting problems on OSX for others hopefully.


I think part of the problem is in the instructions being older, the part about setting up Pattern Config doesn’t mention multiple choices for IP addresses for instance.


Quote:
e) After that the "Pattern config" menu should contain a new entry "Push". Select it
f) Enter the following values in the other fields of the dialog:
Device Name: Push
Receive on port: Enable (default port is fine)
Send to port: Enable (default port is fine)
Device IP: 127.0.0.1


First off, "Transformator" is the only choice not Push for Pattern Config, and "the other fields of the dialog" or Mode, is a drop down menu, none of them show send and receive. After some messing around “Configure Device IP + local port” is the one that works here.


Trying to run the "run-pushX.command" tells me I do not have permissions, the "chmod a+x *.command" gets no response. OSX has System Integrity Protection or SIP which seems to be the issue. Looking online you can disable SIP. That works, and the command can be run.

The software will not work if MIDI in/out isn’t selected in the Java pop up display that should be open now. If you’re a dumb ass like me the vague
Quote:
You need to use the Midi Ports starting with "CoreMidi4J - “!
had me trying everything but the CoreMidi4J - Live Port, which is the one you want selected in and out.

After following the instructions and getting over those hurdles, all is working here anyway.

Default MIDI CC64-Problem

Hi Jürgen,

danke für das tolle Script (thanks for this great script)!
I use Push 1 with Reaper 5.78 on Win7, 64-Bit. And, of course, Transformator 1.2.

Everything works great, Transformator even adds features that Push 1 doesn't have with Live 9.7.6, like adjusting the colour of the pads to the colour of the selected track.

But there's a problem with MIDI CC64. I have an M-Audio-Pedal connected to Push, works fine in Ableton.

In Reaper it doesn't work.

I added ReaControlMIDI to the track to monitor incoming MIDI.
I just get "Note on" and "Note off"-messages for every key I press, but no feedback at all from the sustain pedal?

If I connect the pedal to second input on Push, it works (starts and stops record).
If I put it back into the first slot, it's not working again.

Back in Ableton it works as expected.

So I'd like to ask: has someone here experienced problems with a Sustain-Pedal connected to Push 1 via Transformator 1.2?

This might help me to find out where the problem starts: With the pedal, with Transformator or with Reaper (I also have problems when I draw in data manually in the CC64-lane, posted in another thread: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=205374).

Thank you and sunny greetings from Berlin!

I released an update which not only supports Ableton Push but much more controllers.
Furthermore, the setup is much easier now:

Thanks Jürgen!

I guess that means that Transformator doesn't get updates any longer?

Apart from my problem with the Sustain-Pedal, it's working for me (Push 1, Win 7), so would you say it's necessary for me to update to the new script?

Sunny greetings from Berlin!

Default A question about sequencing and note editing

Hi Jürgen,

first of all very impressed with what you have accomplished! Great job!

I have a question about sequencing and note editing.

Is it possible to edit notes in midi clips with your script (add notes, select notes, freely move notes in time, transpose them, change their length)?

The best implementation of note editing with a hardware controller I have seen so far is Maschine but I don't own one so I am looking for scripts for Push 2 that would allow me to do this. Ableton's vanilla sequencing and editing capabilities for Push 2 in Live completely sucks so I am trying my luck with custom scripts and Reaper.

Thank you and wish you all the best!

Thanks a lot Moss. This is a big upgrade to what I had before.

I only have one problem:
it seems that if the selected track is out of my "banked" tracks, I get the "Please select a track..." warning in the mixer. How can I get rid of the message? and how can I prevent it?
