Why TrackFX_SetNamedConfigParm does not work with "pdc"?

amagalma · 12-18-2018, 04:59 AM

Code:

_, pdc = reaper.TrackFX_GetNamedConfigParm( reaper.GetTrack(0,0), 0, 'pdc' )

This returns '8' for the first FX I have loaded in the first track. If I manually disable PDC (by right-clicking the I/O button), the return value is '0'.

If I enable it again and run this:

Code:

succes = reaper.TrackFX_SetNamedConfigParm( reaper.GetTrack(0,0), 0, "pdc", 0 )

Then it fails to set it to 0. Why?

The documentation doesn't promise setting it would be possible. It mentions "pdc" only for the getter function.

That is a pity! I wish Justin could add this ability, in order to avoid working with base64 fx chunks..

Btw, what could be set with this function?

Some of the ReaPlugins have support for the named configuration parameters, the Reaper changelog mentions the supported properties. (But not how they should be used...)

3 years later I bumped on to the same 'problem'..

Has anyone found a way to disable pdc for a plugin programmatically?
