Default FXChain Visualization Script

Hi there,

I've been a Reaper user and reader of this forum for two years now, finally I got something to give back to this great community.

I loved the flexibility of pin mappings in the fxchain the first day I understood it, now I find myself confused from time to time what the hell I put together the other day. I finally found some time to build this little visualization, which is meant to bring clarity in rather complex pin mappings. It's a visualization only, not some abstraction that tries to show a minimal "module graph" neither does it have any editing capabilities.

Since this is my first serious Reaper script, any feedback on either usability or my implementation is welcome. Thanks.

+1

Please move it up on ReaPack so that it's easily found and installed.

(BTW.: This inclused writing some lines of decently formatted documentation in the code. )

Thank you all for the kind words. That's motivating.

I've put it in a ReaPack-compatible repo here:

Thanks for sharing.

This looks nice and simple, and provides another way to visualize Reapers background shenanigans.

Added the repo.

@TonE: Nice idea, but that's a whole other subject. I'm only visualizing the audio stream here. But I think I've seen others working on visualizing parameter modulation, but I don't remember who it was

I'm honored to be a part of the ReaTeam (readme) now

Thanks for the feedback!
