Any tips on how I can fix this?
Presonus support just points me back to this thread

The off button doesn't work like that in Reaper. It simply turns the automation mode to "off" in the track. Meaning, that it no longer reads any written automation. The off button doesn't turn the actual motorized fader off. That would be unexpected behavior for most of us. If you are worried about bumping faders, then I'd suggest unplugging the faderport when not in use.

My mistake. It doesn't disable the automation lane in that track. Rather, it turns automation into Trim/Read mode. In this mode any recorded automation plays back, but the fader becomes a trim fader for that track. Good way to boost a track by say, +2db while maintaining any automation that's been written.

And yes, the off button doesn't light up in this mode with reaper.

Default FX Mode not working with TDR Nova GE

Hello folks,

I have the TDR Nova dynamic EQ, Gentleman's Edition (GE). The Q and FREQ controls on individual bands don't respond properly to the fader when in FX Mode. The GUI controls move the fader, but the fader does not move the GUI controls properly. All controls apart from Q and FREQ work as expected.

Has anyone else tried Nova GE with FX Mode? I've contacted TDR support and they're keen to help figure this out.

Nova Standard edition works fine, by the way.

Update: TDR have been able to replicate the behaviour, and are working on a fix.

Cheers!
Jennifer

Hey all

I just bought a Faderport Classic and now have it up and running using this driver. Very neat.

I'm rather a noob with this device and Reaper. I've worked out what most of the buttons are mapped to and had a look at the *.ini file and some of the old threads. Also mapped a few things in the ini file now.

Although I can click into automation lanes for pan, various fx parameters, etc, I can't work out how to get the Faderport to actually write automation for parameters in the selected lane.

I can use the buttons to enable the various modes - write, latch, touch, off, and the respective toggle states for these buttons - but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the fader to control the active automation lane. I've made sure to arm just that automation lane for recording, clicked into fx mode with SHIFT + BANK, chosen 'write' as the automation mode....

Can anyone help? Is there a simple 'Reaper Faderport User Manual' anywhere that I'm missing? I really only bought this so I could write fx automation lanes...

With thanks.

Pete

Hey mate. Can you enlighten us as to how you got fader control of automation lanes working?

I'll answer my own question. It appears not.

.................................................. .....

Can I ask if it is possible to develop the ability in the driver to click on an automation lane and have the fader map to automagically control it?

Default FaderPort2 - 2018 version - separate discussion

Hey all,

Don't mean to hijack, but I've started an active discussion about the single-fader FP2
model here:

https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....68#post2048068

I recently purchased One and I'm working through the integration into Reaper v4.78.

Those who are configuring the classic model should continue on with the suggestions in this thread.

Jack

Just wanted to leave a little thank you!

The Faderport was pretty much useless for me before I started using Reaper. I was seriously considering throwing that thing in the bin. You made it an invaluable mixing tool for me now, so thanks very much!

This driver got my Faderport Classic working so nicely with REAPER - huge thanks to the devs!

One question - is it possible to enable the "fader pan" mode that's in the original/default driver? This is where you press Output and the fader works as the pan pot (it's much nicer to use than the actual stepped pan pot).

This is the only thing missing for me in this custom driver - I can't see how to do it. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.

Big thanks

Ben

I know that there are a lot of threads, but I still can´t get my Faderport Classic to work with REAPER. Here´s the problem:

When I open up the program settings in REAPER and click on "add", the controller mode is available, but the MIDI Inputs and Outputs for the Faderport are not there. My computer also says that there is no driver for Faderport. But I have installed the Universal Control by Presonus and it shows me that I have connected the Faderport. So what do I have to do to get this thing to work?

Thanks a lot!

You can test if all the buttons are assignable by going to the action list and pressing the buttons while editing an actions keypress. If you get a response from the controller it will appear in the shortcut text box. You can quickly test all your buttons and assign them to a custom action in the interim.
Wait, what? So, I should be using my FP8 in Studio One mode while using the CSI stuff that Geoff and Company have created?

Default Faderport XT not showing up in Control Surfaces

Hey, hey I've read this entire goddamn thread and can't figure out why the Faderport XT driver won't show up in my list in Prefs Control Surfaces. I've placed the .ini and .dylib files in the correct places, and updated firmware. I kept finding ppl with similar problems to mine, but the fixes that worked for them just aren't working for me. I'm on a 10.13.1 Mac running Reaper 5.971 64bit. This is driving me batty! I wanna automate some goddamn FX parameters!

Then, press SHIFT (and hold, if shift latch isn't enabled) + BANK. The BANK button will begin to blink and if you currently have a track selected with TrackFX, the fader should jump to the value of the first plugin's first param.
Shucks, I just spent hella time getting the Reaper Preferences to recognize this driver. It does finally, but now I can't get this thing to go into FX Mode using this method. I checked my .ini file, and it is indeed written as described above. Nor will Shift+Stop+Play make it blink. Any thoughts why I can't get to FX Mode?

I have just reinstalled mine after upgrading computers, and I had to delete the "Non-XT" Control surface before the XT one would work properly. Having done that I hold shift + Bank and it indeed does start blinking. Then I open a plugin sand select a knob with my mouse and the Faderport jumps right to that parameter. When finished hit [Shift + Bank] another time.

Default Faderport loses contact with Reaper

If I don't use Reaper for a few weeks my Faderport Classic loses contact with Reaper. It's happened two or three times before, but this time I can't seemt to reconnect it despite updating my firmware and deleting any copies in the Control Surfaces Tab.
The clue is, similar to a poster above, that the MIDI in and MIDI out drop downs are blank.
What does that suggest that I've failed to do or have done incorrectly?
Thanks.

Thanks for that.
My solution to accidental bumping was to make a tiny volume automation adjustment, ( a four point minus one and back to zero) at the very beginning of each Channel. That way, when Read is selected the volume is basically locked. In order to make changes you need to select Write or Touch. Sounds like a lot of trouble to go to but I mostly work off Templates, so once it's done it's done.

I wish so too! I just got a used FP2, and I also have an old FP1. The 2 is so pretty and I love the soft buttons, but it doesn't work for sh.t here.

I just stumbled on this XT thing...WOW! it's perfect, thank you to all who contributed. I couldn't even get the amazing CSI thing to work with the faderport 1 or 2, but this works very well and is a perfect companion for a vocal booth. if only it works for the FP2, but it's still perfect for my needs.

CSI is constantly evolving and is supposed to be able to digest close to any Midi based Control Surface. Did you re-try the latest version ?

Trying to customize my track automation modes here, using of course action IDs.

The write and touch modes seem to work fine when assigned to a button on the faderport, but trim/read and sometimes Read does not work properly. I cant select trim read at all, it just jumps to read instead, and if pressing a trim/read again, nothing happens.

Any ideas?

I choose Presonus FP2 midi in&out
nothing append.

what could be the problem ?

You did not tell Reaper that the thing is to be used to control Reaper.

Is it possibly loading the default faderport extension that comes with Reaper?

When assigning the control surface in control surfaces (prefs), you select FaderportXT in the dropdown. If FaderportXT isn't in the drop down then reaper isn't seeing it.

Hey everyone, I've just come back to my Faderport after a few years and checked in on the development of this plugin. Someone finally figured out FX paramater automation! So happy. What a complete package now.

For those of you who are still having trouble getting the newer features to work such as FX automation, or getting the INI to even register properly... You probably made the same mistake I did.

reaper_csurf_fpxt.ini goes into the resources folder for reaper. (For me it's the root directory.)

reaper_csurf_fpxt64.dll goes into the "UserPlugins" folder.

They must be seperate.
Hope this helps.

A few cosmetic adjustments:
The STOP, PLAY, and SHIFT buttons will blink a few times to confirm that the ini was reloaded.
If you attempt to enter FX mode but the plugin hasn't detected any valid plugins, the Bank light will blink (rapidly) to notify you and then shut off (maybe).

Additions
The pan knob can now be assigned several different functions.
There are two new options named PAN_MODE and PAN_MODE_SHIFT in the ini. They can be set to 3 options.
0 = The Pan knob will operate as a pan knob
1 = The Pan knob will scroll through tracks
2 = The pan knob will trigger actions (that you can assign, read below)

Assigning and using custom Pan Actions
Four more options in the ini file are included:
Code:
ACTION_PAN_LEFT=40104
ACTION_PAN_RIGHT=40105
ACTION_PAN_LEFT_SHIFT=41666
ACTION_PAN_RIGHT_SHIFT=41667
These work just like the buttons, assigning PAN_MODE to '2' will trigger ACTION_PAN_LEFT/RIGHT and assigning PAN_MODE_SHIFT to '2' will trigger ACTION_PAN_LEFT/RIGHT_SHIFT while shift is down.

NOTE: The pan knob is still bound to the PAN_MIN_TURNS option!

This makes your pan pot much more powerful. I made it this way mainly because I couldn't find a reliable way to use the pan knob as a jog wheel, so the actions assigned above are SWS actions that seek 1 or 10 pixels respectively.

The download link has been updated.
Since I discovered this, I'm using it. And really a lot. I couldn't imagine this before :-)
Thank you so much for this effort
