I'm afraid I don't know how to combine this with "look for selected track" as you put it? Help?

[MusoBob]

Try this:

 track_count = reaper.CountTracks(0)
 
 if track_count > 0 then
   seltrack = reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0,0)
   
   seltrack = reaper.GetSelectedTrack2( 0, 0, 1 )
   
   if not seltrack then
     reaper.MB( "Select Track", "Track ?", 0 )
     goto finish
   end
   reaper.TrackFX_AddByName( seltrack, "audio_statistics", 0, -1 )
   
 else
 
   reaper.Main_OnCommand(40001, 0) -- Track: Insert new track
         
   seltrack = reaper.GetSelectedTrack2( 0, 0, 1 )
         
   reaper.TrackFX_AddByName( seltrack, "audio_statistics", 0, -1 )
 end

Hey! Thanks! It seems the add new track function works only the first time though. Is there a way that it wouldn't be dependent on the track count? So that it would ALWAYS (when used) add a new track and put the fx on it, if no track was selected?

[MusoBob]

 seltrack = reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0,0)
 
 if seltrack then
   reaper.TrackFX_AddByName( seltrack, "audio_statistics", 0, -1 )
   
 else
 
   reaper.Main_OnCommand(40001, 0) -- Track: Insert new track
         
   seltrack = reaper.GetSelectedTrack2( 0, 0, 1 )
         
   reaper.TrackFX_AddByName( seltrack, "audio_statistics", 0, -1 )
 end

@Edgemeal

I just wanted to thank you again for your help, very much appreciated.

[strachupl]

I wonder if there is some other randomizer of FX there.
I know about:

Script: mpl_Randomize Track FX parameters.lua

and

Script: kawa_GUI_FxRandomiza.lua

Kawa randomizer work as I want in most cases but I discovered that sometimes it do not randomize some parameters in full scale. For example it randomize delay knob in plugin from 0-50% and do not pick values of 50-100%. In most cases it works but some plugins not. This script is very usefull and have locking values feature. Mpl script don't work in same way but it morph 0-100% in cases that Kawas script not.

Maybe somone know about some other script that is able to randomize FX parameters with locking/securing feature? Thanks

Would like a script (already existing for MAC?) that allows me to adjust the font of time selections.

Hello !

I try to spare my CPU a little bit & I notice that the monitoring fx take a lot of resources here. I wish I could create cycle actions to put some of the monitoring FX offline/online. Currently we can bypass and unbypass in the action list.

"Set monitoring FX number n offline"

"Set monitoring FX number n online"

Any input appreciated !!

I made some minor changes to Edgemeal's script, try this and see if it works...

EDIT: However, not sure if it makes that much difference than bypass in regards to save CPU, but perhaps there are certain plugins that will.

if fxIndex <= cnt then
  fxIndex = (0x1000000 + (fxIndex-1))

Thank you ! your script works. May I ask for versions of this script that doesn't toggle ? One script that put offline, and one script that put online ? That would be very helpfull to me ! Althought I think I understand the basic of the script, I'm not sure how to mod it.

Thank you so much Kr3eM ! The last two scripts will be used a lot and sure enough other readers of the thread will find use for the toggle version too.

Conerning CPU use of offline versus bypass, I notice a difference with the Sonarwork plugin. The offline is really welcome. My PC ventirad thanks you.

Glad to help, can't code by any stretch, most of the work is credited to Edgemeal... I just Frankenstein'ed it.

Also, edited the script... you can delete the last row
"reaper.defer(function () end)"

Thanks for letting me know about Sonarworks.

Hi, looking for a script that selects the track or tracks routed or sent to a hardware output x. I have a 40 channel analog console mixer, and 30 channels of i/o routed to and from that mixer.

It's an old mixer, and the only midi functionality is the mutes. You can turn the mutes on and off with midi. That's it. So I am always fiddling with ways to use those buttons to also select the corresponding track in REAPER, but I don't want to simply say if mute 23 is pressed, then selact track 23, because I am constantly moving tracks around, so that won't work. But if the mute can select the track that's routed to it, that would be fantastic.

[Phazma]

I was trying to make a custom action that reverses an item and the envelope points directly under it and was somehow surprised that while we have "Toggle Take Reverse" and "Envelope: Reverse Points" we don't have "Select envelope points under selected item" to put inbetween.

So could someone script this? A reverse function that does not only reverse an item but also the envelope points of all envelope lanes underneath it (not the whole lanes tough, just the part under the item). Or perhaps simply "Select envelope points under selected item" which can be used for my purpose as well as other purposes.

Hi!

I'm in need of a script that can select all adjacent items around a selected item. I want this to affect items that are next to each other and crossfaded items to left and right of the selected item.

Any ideas?

[hans]

I think this one would be beneficial:

Copy Selected Item Name / Rename Selected Item From Clipboard

[X-Raym]

@hans

All this already exists

• Script: X-Raym_Select items adjacent to or overlapping selected items.lua (premium)
• Script: Archie_Take; Copy Name item active take.lua / Script: nvk_TAKES - Copy take name.lua
• Script: X-Raym_Rename selected items with clipboard content.lua

You should install common reapack repository to have a full list of existing scripts :P

[hans]

@X-Raym.
Thanks man. Your scripts are great

Oops.

I did have at least your rename selected items with clipboard content,
but not archies repository. I seem to have missed a few. Thanks for letting me know!

I'm having my eyes on your premium pack already...

[Phazma]

@jrk this is amazing! Thanks a lot!

[jrk]

you're welcome.

[jrk]

Good spot!

Try changing

match("VST*i:%{new_name}s", namestr)?

to

match("VST*i: %{new_name}s", namestr)?

Note the space before the "%"

Have edited the original, Thanks!

Nice, that worked. No problem, thanks to you for the great script!

I have a MIDI item with program change messages for selecting patches in my guitar rig.
I have multiple messages across song where certain patch is selected.
I want to change params for multiple program change messages in one action.
For example, I want to change Crunch to Clean in all 10 places where it's specified.

So what I need is input dialog box with:
From: 31

See if this works, I only tried it with a few program changes:

  if not reaper.TakeIsMIDI( take ) then 
    reaper.MB( "Select a Midi item", "Notice", 0 )
    goto GetMIDIProgramChange_end 
  end
  
  retval_inputs, retvals_csv = reaper.GetUserInputs( "Set Program to Change", 2, "Select Target,Change to", "30,31" )
  pc_target, pc_set = retvals_csv:match("([^,]+),([^,]+)")
  
  if not retval_inputs then
    goto GetMIDIProgramChange_end
  end   
  
  pc_target,pc_set = retvals_csv:match("([^,]+),([^,]+)") 
  
  _, notecnt = reaper.MIDI_CountEvts( take )

  for i = 1, notecnt +100 do 

    retval, selected, muted, ppqpos, chanmsg, chan, ProgramChange, msg3 = reaper.MIDI_GetCC( take, i )

    if ProgramChange == tonumber(pc_target) then

      reaper.MIDI_InsertCC( take, true, false, ppqpos, 192, chan, tonumber(pc_set), 0)
       
    end  
   
  end

I was looking at your screenshot over at your website. I'm pretty sure it can do what I want it to do, but the screenshot and gif over on your site isn't really clear to me. Seems to be moving stuff, which I don't want.

I Want to be able to just select an item and then have the script to select all the items which are directly next to it and crossfaded. Is this possible with that script?

Thank you!

REAPER can already do it, but you have to make sure the "FX Chains" folder is visible in the FX Browser (options > left pane list), then you can right click on Mixer or Track FX button and you should see the 'fx chains' sub menu at the top of that context menu.

I know, it's the sub menu I want to get away from, I'm looking for a way to display the root of FX chains directly...unless there's a way to display fX Chains in 'custome' FX Folders without them having display their path as the name, but I doubt it and I can't have all my FX chains listed in the root directory of the FX Chains folder without any sub folders, it will take ages to scroll...so it makes a mess to have any of FX chains in any custome Folders.

I was using 'amagalma_Smart track layout picker' and thought that would be nice thing to have a shortcut key to display the FX Chains directory.

hey guys,
I need three scripts:

1) The first script should create a named marker at edit cursor position or alternativly move - if already existing - it to edit cursor position
2) The second script should delete all markers named by a certain string
3) The third one should jump to a specific marker (found by its name)

Where do I need it for?
classical music is recorded without fix tempo. Thus takes are recorded without the use of reaper's take system just one after the other. To compare certain parts, I'd like to have "temporary markers" (as existing in sequoia) that are created at equal parts of different takes. That allows us to jump between them... So I think I just called them " *TEMP 1 " (2, 3, 4, 5, ...) and assign auto-coloring via SWS. Would be great if someone could help me with that.

Bonus request: If the temp markers could have big ID numbers (let's say 1000 and above) we'd be sure they not destroy marker ID order of our other markers that could be neeeded for any reason.
