accidentally zoomed into the stripper and now its stuck with huge zoom level... how do I fully zoom out?

shift & + isn't working consistently
it's zooms out a bit but then instantly zooms back in.

So now i'm stuck with this hige thing that doesnt fit on my screen and i cant work with this... how do I disable all of the shortcuts and reset the zoom?


restarting the script didnt work, restarting reaper didnt work. Loading a datafile from a prior project didnt work.

EDIT!

going to the lbx stripper folder and chaning the zoom in the settings.txt to 1 works! now its reset. phew.....

almost had a hertattack xD i've learned to rely on this tool alot on my work and it really speeds things up to a point where not having this working right can seriously screw up schedules--- not the best thing to do with a script like this, but just shows how great of a tool it is.

using the numpad + key (or any other numpad keys like the ",") as rec button is a bit dangerous it seems! you might have the script window accidentally selected and whoops

Thanks !
Ctrl+V works for me - does it not for you??

However - the possible problem with this would be formatting of the search string - some plugins shorten the frequency so where SPAN copies 5000 - some plugins would require 5k or 5.00k as the search string etc... I think it would only work where the plugin uses a Hz value and not kHz...

Sorry about the hassles - glad you worked out a fix.

Zoom out should be Shift+'-' key (ie. the '_' character on my keyboard).

You can edit the keycommands.ini file in the LBXCS_resources folder to edit most key shortcuts if you wish...

Here's a short script to output character codes to the console window on pressing a key (or shift+key ctrl+key etc).

Code:
function run()

  gfx.update()
  c = gfx.getchar()
  if c > 0 then
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(tostring(c)..'\n')
  end
  
  if c ~= 27 then 
    reaper.defer(run)
  else
    gfx.quit()
  end
end

gfx.init("- LBX KeyCodes -", 100, 100, 0, 100, 100)
run()
I'm really glad you're finding the script useful to speed up your work

No Ctrl+V in either direct dbl-clk on knob, or going thru the sub-menu [enter value]... not even get a prompt.

Hmmm. odd.

This is it working ok here:



I think it requires SWS - but I assume you have that installed.

I have sws-2.12.1.3-Windows-x64.

Installed on a Portable v:6.27

At least I think I have it installed in the right place ?!?!?

But no Paste happens.

I see SPAN acknowledge the Freq copied to the Clipboard, and I know I can paste in several other plugins directly ... but it's not happening in Stripper.

BTW ... Stripper is version 0.94.0197

What could it be ?

Thanks lb0


----- edit ----

verified .... SWS installed and working by testing a 'Copy Track efx chain', then Pasting to a new, selected Track ... via SWS actions.

I'm really not sure - I'm assuming you haven't got a global override on that shortcut set up?

Hi lb0,

I don't think so ?!?

I use Copy/Paste all the time [standard key combo] to duplicate Tracks, FX,
and most anything else.

The same plugin that I'm Stripper controlling ... I can copy from SPAN, and paste directly into its Freq of its GUI ... as well as several other plugs.

I just can't seem to do it on Stripper. I mean, I can copy/paste Stripper parts when building a Strip.

I am running a Portable version [if that would matter ... but can't see how]. In fact, just tried another portable v6.23 ... still not pasting.

This is strange. Really need this :|

Ah - ok - it seems this is a more recent addition... Try updating to the latest version of Stripper as 197 doesn't have the clipboard copy/paste function. Funny - it's one of those things I have no recollection of adding more recently...

hmmm ... ok , did the auto Update.

Dbl-clk a Knob after SPAN clipboard selection ...

I can now Paste the entry ... git Return or click OK ...

STRIPPER takes a very long time to accept the Paste ... actually shows 'Not Responding' [with the 'edit box' still open ...

about 15-20sec later ... box finally closes with the value added to Knob.

that's weird ... but some progress at least !

I'm guessing it's not the paste that's taking so long - but the scan for the parameter setting?? ie. when you hit Ctrl+V I assume the value appears in the box immediately?? But when you hit enter to accept the value - then it takes a long time?

This is to be expected TBH. You cannot just give a plugin parameter a value like 5000Hz - and it automatically knows to set the parameter to 5000Hz. It has to scan every value of the plugin parameter - so scan from the lowest value to the highest value - then increase sensitivity once it gets close - and scan again - and repeat - each time getting closer to the actual requested value - and repeat until it either finds the value or gives up...

During this scanning process - it must set the value of the parameter to the current scan position - in order to get the value of that position to compare to the required value. If the plugin responds slowly to any part of this process - like setting the value or getting the display value (to compare) - then this process is going to take a long time. For some values - it may need to set the plugin parameter value 100,000 or more times in order to narrow in on the required value!

There is no other way of doing this unfortunately - due to the nature of the design of plugins. It's easy for a plugin internally to set a particular value - as it can be coded using the exact formula for the control. This is impossible for Stripper (or any other external code) to do - and plugins generally do not expose this direct value select method to the host via the Get/SetParam APIs - instead using a normalized version of the value - which is useless for this purpose...

ah ... it is as you describe.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Educational.

That MDW-6eQ has quite the range of Freqs for each band, 10-40,000 hz.

NOTE:

Just did a 'value' experiment.

If I type in a Integer value ... the parameter change happens relatively quick

However ...

If the value has a decimal entry ... then it takes a long time !!

AH ... that is key ! don't need no stinkin' decimal resolution.

I tested this with SPAN clipboard ... it most always has that fine resolution.

Now to wonder ... might there be an Option Request ??? even Globally,

that would take an Edit Box Entry, and pre-resolve it to Integer format before sending
to the Plugin ?

Maybe the 'option' could be limited to only the Edit Box.

I ask because this is a Workflow issue ... speed is an important factor
to all this, without having to hand edit every entry.

Appreciate your considerations of something like this.

Thank you lb0

Try changing line 33915 in version 202 from

Code:
local nval = GetValFromDVal(trackfxparam_select,txt)
to

Code:
local nval = GetValFromDVal(trackfxparam_select,string.match(txt,'(%d+)') or txt)
This should remove any decimal places from the value used to find the parameter value.

OK ... that works ! BUT ... why is there always ... a SNAG.

So now the FREQ paste works at a good speed, and correctly.

The SNAG

Why I did not think about both the GAIN and Q parameters ... both handy to adjust via direct entry.

And of course, the [Line edit] treats ALL entries as 'Integers' ... no 1.2 or 1.5 for the other parameters ... one step forward ... two back :|

Obviously ... a more specific intervention would be needed to make this all work as hoped.

I don't know if it is even anything you'd want, or have time for ... but the implied 'request' is all I can respectfully ask.

meantime ... you've provided the 'Code Line', which I may revert back to original. That will depend on which function priority stands out ...

lb0 ... as always .... thank-you for everything.

Ok - I had an idea - maybe tie the accuracy of the value to the MaxDP (max decimal places) in CTL OPTIONS. So if you set the MaxDP (which only affects the displayed value) to 0 - it should work as you wish on the Frequency controls.

So - same bit of code - just replace the bit in between the

if mo then -> line 33914

...

end -> line 33921

section to

Code:
if mo then
  local ctl = strips[tracks[track_select].strip][page].controls[trackfxparam_select]
  if ctl then
    if (ctl.maxdp or -1) >= 0 then
      local mult = 10^ctl.maxdp
      txt = math.floor(txt * mult) / mult
      if ctl.maxdp == 0 then
        txt = string.format('%i',txt)
      end
    end
    local nval = GetValFromDVal(trackfxparam_select,txt)
    ctl.val = nval
    ctl.dirty = true
    SetParam()
  end
end
Sorry - edited a few cut and paste errors

OK

I performed the EDIT.

Well ... happy to report that the pasting function looks to be functioning
normal. The 'paste time' seems the same as a standard 'integer' value.

All the Knob parameters [Freq, Gain, Q] are accepting traditional values
with no apparent side issue. I should note ... I wouldn't totally understand what, if any, side affect this might have.

But ... if all is good ... I really want to thank you, once again.

I was using the built-in Editor to make the changes ... couldn't believe the time it took just to locate the Line Number !! and then realizing just how much Code there is.

Anyway ... as I type, I going back and forth testing the Code Mod. Looks to be working fine. I watch for any comments.

Thank-you.

Good. I did test very briefly here so it should be ok.

Ah - to get to the line number - you can Press Ctrl+J and type in the number (this was added a few months back - and has been a life saver - as before there was easy option unless you knew the code on or near the line number you were looking for - and search for that).

Well ... the ole 'nu-B' paying the dues :|

Must say, it was interesting looking at a few segments of the code.
Found myself being drawn in to understand ... then quickly came to my
senses.

Same thing not installing any virtual instruments ... all I need to get distracted
from my continuous study of Mastering.

Still not doing any Gigs playing Drums ... our State is still clamped down
on much of it ... had to hit the practice pad to try and remember how to hold the sticks !

As for Stripper ... it looks like the MDW-eq is one of the very few that I can design to work with [and because of its current GUI ... it really needs it].

Most of my main EQ are L/R, Mid/Side ... with no direct way to link, un-link.

It can get real messy, real fast.

The only 'cool' feature I have going is the A/B js Match pair. to handle the 'channel' assignment [in pairs], I use to mini-knobs for the pair, then group them ... then assign that to a visual scroll Text box. The 2 mini's are then Hidden. It works. It can get messy around the GUI ... but the MDW only needs 1 to bookend. With N4, it could be 10-12 pairs. So it's great to actually call on Stripper for those. Now have to see how it fits into the workflow.
A 'system' that seems to always want to evolve.

Once again ... Thank you !

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is it possible to have 2 LBX stripper windows open? I'd love to have my main strip that manages my more global settings and master FX docked, while I have another that follows the channel for my channel strip preferences.

I could always map a key on my controllers to focus on my master/global control channel which would open up the LBX strip using FLW but I'd love to have those parameters permanently available while the channels ones could be dynamic.

It used to be possible - but it's not something I've ever done. You have to allow multiple instances of Stripper script to run - like the dialog you get asking if you want to run a new version of the script.

When the new version has loaded - You can change the Strip Set that it loads in the main ... menu. Switch the second script instance to use Set 2.

Then each window should work independently. But I've not tested this for many years. If Timbral were still around - he's the only person I know to have done this frequently.

Greetings lb0;

Is there a way to open the FX window for the selected track from your awesome Stripper window? I often need to change the order of the FX in a track after adding them from the Stripper interface.

Opening the GUI for a single FX doesn't work, I need the whole FX window.

By the way, the Stripper is awesome! There are things I can do in it that would be terribly tedious any other way. *Great* stuff!

Thanks! There are several ways: depending on exactly what you are trying to do.

You can use Stripper's reorder function - Shortcut '1'

You could add an action button to the strip / or the action panel in DM mode - and assign an action to open the FX window for the selected track.

Thanks so much. I’ll give that a try tonight and report back.

I wish I could get this working, but it just will not function for me, no matter how I try to load it. Maybe someday it can be developed into a workable, easy-to-install ReaScript.

What seems to be the issue? I know it doesn't install itself - but really - to get it up and running it's simply a case of putting the main Stripper Lua file and LBXCS_resources folder in the correct place (both in the REAPER/Scripts/LBX/ folder).

Then load/run the lua file from the actions menu.

I have done that repeatedly to no avail. It's alright, probably just my system's issue. If, in the future, it could maybe have a smoother install, that would be great.

Ok - but what happens when you load the lua file? Any errors or messages?

Definitely got it working. Essentially did what you said. The first instance I set static on the Master control channel. Then loading the new LBX instance you select create new (instead of terminate existing) and it gives another. I set that one to follow and it does just what I need.

Thanks again!

We learn something new about this Script all the time ... and the 'Brain' behind it.

Looks like the only snag I'm hitting is when I delete a track, my master track focus is lost. Regardless of the FLW or non-FLW state. I have to open up the side panel and select the master track again.

It shouldn't be a problem for mix work as it's unlikely I'll be deleting anything once I have the files in place. I can ADD tracks and it maintains focus, just deleting that changes it. Not sure if there's a work around.

FINALLY....I have LBX installed. The problem all along? When I unzipped the resources files they disappeared. By not unzipping they were available and I now have LBX. Whew....

Hmmm. Not sure I'm fully understanding your solution - or what you're unzipping exactly (the downloadable LBXCS_resources.zip should definitely be unzipped.

But anyway - the important thing is it's working

I'll take a look when I get a moment. What mode are you working in? Dynamic or Live?

There are lots of different ways to use the script - which means lots of parts I'd need to look at to try and identify what's going on. You're also using 2 separate Stripper instances - which I've never done before outside of testing many years back . So as much information as possible about how you have each instance setup - will greatly reduce the time it takes for me to work out what's going on...

Cheers,

I first want to say thank you for such a wonderful product, and for offering it for free. I do appreciate it and realize you are working for no compensation. What LBX Stripper lacks sorely are good tutorials, starting from zero. Definitely NOT the blurry no-explanation vids on YouTube with the cursor jumping over the screen and no voice-over.
Please don't take this as criticism.

Hi lb0,

Been tweaking my MDWeQ-6 Stripper controller.

One small issue that came up ...

I did an UPDATE of Stripper ... but it then overwrote that special 'PASTE'
modification that you provided to speed up the function. I was able to go back in and manually re-patch the code [working].

2. Was looking for a special GUI feature ... didn't know if this was available/possible.

The MDWeq has 5 Bands, each can be set to 10 specific Band settings [from Shelfs, Peak, and H/L pass, etc].

Was wondering ... is there any type of 'pull-down' sub-menu GUI element that could be filled and used to select one of the settings?

Right now I have it as a 'Cycle Button', that allows scrolling through those settings ... but it is not very elegant to scroll through.

Is there a better way ?

I remember something similar for use with NEBULA, and the selecting of particular parameters that worked selecting a PRESET ... not sure if that was NEBULA specific.

any suggestions?

Thanks !

Hi RJ,

That's something (cycle control dropdown) I've definitely thought about before now - just not got round to doing it...

The Nebula thing you're thinking of is the ReaControlMIDI control which does allow a dropdown - but not applicable for normal parameter controls.

I'll try and add a dropdown option for cycle controls when I get some spare time.

Reaper 6.29 on Windows 10, portable install.
Julian Sader's Reascript API extension: installed
Latest SWS extension (2.12.1.3): installed

Downloaded raw versions of main lua file and resource zip file.
Created LBX folder both in Reaper6/Scripts and AppData/Roaming/REAPER/Scripts.
Put LBX Stripper.lua file and LBXCS_resources folder inside of them.

Re-started Reaper.

No trace of LBX Stripper in actions list.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Have you loaded the lbx stripper.lua file into the actions list by clicking New Action (button) ->Load Action?
