Hello yhertogh,
I can send audio back and forth via the V-Fire no problem from the 2480 to Reaper or vice versa.
I tried all different combinations in Reaper with the midi devices and the surface control.
In midi devices I have presonus midi in and presonus midi out listed.
In control surfaces I have the vs 2480(dev-1,-1)on the list.
Do I have to set the Midi parameter a certain way on the 2480?
I put the dll in the plug ins folder of Reaper
In Reaper in the Control Surface Settings panel should I have Midi Input and Output set to Presonus?
In the vs2480 surface control panel I have V.Fader CS Sw ON.
In the 2480, control surface port set to R-Bus1, USER2 with the Control Change settings you listed.
I think I´m doing something wrong at the vs-2480 end.
Maybe you could tell me what set up I need in the 2480

Reaper and the vs2480
One thing i´m certain about is that the combination of Reaper and the 2480 is a very powerful recording team for any small studio.All you need are a bunch of good musicians some decent mics and a good musical imagination some Dimension Pro samples! and your off.
I´d like to figure the Control surface but it´s not entirely necessary.it just bugs me that I´m doing something wrong.

I think the problem is in the reaper configuration.
First go to preferences/devices/midi, and DISABLE both the presonus midi in and out. I know it's counterintuitive to disable the midi devices, but this is to sent regular midi data inbetween reaper and the VS, not for control surface stuff.
Apply that config and then go to preferences/control surface.
You say that you have the vs2480 already configured there, but the (-1,-1) seems to indicate that reaper is not able to use the midi in/out for control surface stuff, which again indicates that you have the midi in/out enabled in preferences/devices/midi.
Select the control surface and hit 'edit'. Then select the presonus midi in and midi out in the appropriate boxes. Click on Apply.
then hit shift-v.fader on the VS and it should spring to live.

Hi Rob again.
I disabled midi devices ie Presonus midi in and presonus midi out.
In Control Surface settings Roland vs2480(default CS preset) is listed.I click on this and select the presonus midi in and midi out in the appropriate boxes,,,the APPLY button will not highlight and VS2480(dev0,1)still appears.
I don´t know what I did exactly but now it´s working!cheers.

Cool! the reason your apply button was grayed out was because it was part of the underlying window (i admit i gave you slightly wrong instructions!). You probably clicked ok on that 'edit' window, then clicked ok or apply on the main control surface window.
Have fun with it!

That's how i am using it as well. I record bands onto the VS (I do record in 24 bit, non rdac-compressed mode, which limits the amount of tracks to 16. Then you are sure that there is no quality loss of the audio that is recorded on the VS (beyond that incurred by the A/D convertor of the pre-amps). Also, using external pre-amps is a good idea, such that you can keep the gain down on the built-in pre-amps...allthough they are probably comparable with other 'prosumer' type multi-channel interfaces.
Then i do a backup to a CD-RW and use Bear's CD-Ripper tool, or alternatively use the V-fire to move the tracks into reaper.
For a solo performance/overdub, i use the v-fire directly into reaper

one more question
I can move the faders, pan, markers etc etc on the vs2480 and they react in Reaper or I if I move the faders press the buttons on Reaper they react on the 2480,however if I press play or record on Reaper the 2480 does not react.Is this correct or am I doing something wrong(yet again!)
Just checked again,everything seems to be in sync except when I push Play on Reaper the vs 2480 does not play.
thanks in advance.

Bob, the vs-2480 in control surface mode is not doing any playback of stuff that is recorded on the vs-2480's harddrive. Its ONLY a control surface. However, if you press play in reaper, the vs-2480, in control surface mode, should at least give you a visual indication that reaper is playing, by lighting up the play led. If not, double-check the MIDI CC values in the USR2 template on the VS whether they match with what reaper is sending out.
If you want to use reaper AND the vs-2480 as playback entities in parallel, you have to go out of control surface mode, and configure MTC/MMC and have the VS-2480 be an MTC slave to reaper. But then you loose the control surface capabilities.

It still works fine here, thanks again for this fine piece of code, yhertough!
There ist something I am missing sometimes in Reaper. It's the VS like "Play To", "Play Through" and "Play From" function. I think such a function is not implemented in Reaper and it's not possible to realize it with the VS CS sofware, right?
Just an idea/question, I am very satisfied with your software :-)

How do i get the software into reaper
Hi,
I'm new to this board,i've been trying to set up my vs2480 as a surface controler for reaper, but i can't ,and my problem is a basic one ,first how do iget the software into : pragram files/reaper/plugins.Because each time i've attempted to do it, the black screen comes up, and :"reaper_rol_VS_cs.dll is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program",please would any one teach me the basic of how to do that .
than you

LJP, This is because you are trying to execute the plugin by double-clicking. You simply need to move the file to the directory "C:\Program Files\Reaper\Plugins" and re-start reaper.

Peter,
Wouldnt a time selection in reaper , together with loop mode, establish the same thing ? I realise i havent implemented time selection in the code, so that would be a mouse operation.

Yes, you're right. We can make a time selection, ending at the point we want to find, to have a "play to". Then we pull the time selection start point to the right, a little time over the end point and have a "play from" situation.
In the VS it is pretty easier, just place the cursor, push the two buttons ("play to" and "play from"), correct the cursor, push the two buttons again to verfy - and cut.
It is useful when you can not see in the waveform where you want to cut.
No - it was only an idea of what I am missing since I started the work with Reaper. I really can live without this feature. Like you say, it is possible to do this with the time selection, too, just need to click a little more.
The VS as control surface makes other things easier, which are more important.
Greets, Peter

Question re VS Control Surface
First of all, thank you Yves for creating the plug-in and sharing it with everyone. It definitely helps extend the shelf-life of our 2480s.
Is there anyone using this set-up with a MOTU USB Micro Express MIDI interface?
I have been unable to get the Control Surface to work, but I have a feeling it's because I don't have the MOTU set up correctly.
I got the MOTU second hand and I'm waiting for the manual I ordered from the company. While I'm waiting, I thought I would try setting it up anyway through trial and error. But I don't have a lot of experience with MIDI.
So I thought I would ask just in case. The flexibility the plug-in adds makes it hard to wait. :-)

Hi,
I used to be an EL34 guy myself, but am now also more off a 6L6 guy ;-) (I own a Hugher and Kettner triamp)
A midi interface is really nothing special. I dont think you even need the manual , it either works or doesnt, just install the software on your PC. However, make sure that the midi can flow in both directions i.e. you need to use both the midi in and out. Also make sure you select the proper midi port in the VS (you can choose between RBUS1, RBUS2 and midi i believe, which are the midi in/out jacks at the back of the VS).
Now once all of this is cabled up, you should see those midi in and outs appear in your reaper preferences under devices/midi. Now there make sure that you DISABLE at least one midi in and one midi out of the MOTU (the ones you've cabled up to the VS). I know this sounds weird, but we have to dedicate one midi in/out for control surface purposes. So once you've checked this, go to control surfaces in preferences , and in case you've copied my plugin to \Program Files\Reaper\Plugins , you should be able to select the VS-2480 plugin. Select the appropriate midi in and out (the ones you've disabled in devices/midi!) and click ok. Then hit Shift-V-fader on the VS and hit the bank buttons a couple of times and it should spring to life.
If not, read the first post of this thread in detail!

Using the 2480 and reaper is great.. Really. Anyway. Remember how I had my midi hooked up to an mbox and could use control surface and use the extra buttons for anything I needed? Well I realized that certain midi's could be used in reaper simaltaniously. I cannot use a delta 10/10, but I can use an maudio midiman and it works great. So long story short, you can customize the control surface even more if you pickup a midi device that can use both

Hi - I'm completely new to all of this reaper and vs2480 interaction and have no idea what a cc number or most of what anything is said in this forum. So I am imploring you to help me as I have a presonus vfire connecteing the two together and would very much like them to work together. The vs is the master and really all i would like is a step by step lamens explanation of how i go about this. Thanks again

Please Help
Over the weekend, I setup my v-fire and vs-2480 to work with Reaper, using the plugin available here. I ran into several problems, most of which are now fixed after going through the first page of this thread a few times.
However, I do not have audio. This certainly isn't the fault of the plugin, I realize, but I cannot figure it out. Presonus ASIO is selected and inputs are enabled. MIDI devices are DISABLED in devices/midi. The VS is working beautiful with regard to actually controlling reaper, and behaves better than I could have expected. For this I am grateful.
I followed the instructions which came with the V-fire manual when setting up the 2480 to be used as a control surface. The only thing I do not understand is the actual routing that I've done in the EZ Routing page on the VS interface. On the top left of the routing page, the v-fire manual says to connect "up to 16 input mixer channels to the RBUS inputs."
In order to do this, it seems as though I have to basically disable the analog inputs at the back of the VS, and once I make the connections as instructed, I can no longer monitor my input and there is no sound from my speakers.
What am I doing wrong?
If possible, could someone please include a snapshot of their EZ Routing page in the VS interface? This would help tremendously.
EDIT: As I said, the VS can control reaper beautifully and all is working as expected, except audio. Having said that, when I go to Utility/R-BUS Config, both RBUS1 and RBUS2 say "Unconnected." Not sure how thats possible.

You have to assign the master hardware outs (or another track if you are summing audio to this track) to some RBUS outputs in reaper. This gets the audio from reaper into the VS. Then within the EZ routing screen connect the corresponding RBUS INs to two mixer track of choice and raise the faders (you probably want to group the mixer tracks). Think of the RBUS INs just as other inputs.

It also says unconnected here. I could never figure out what that screen is meant to say.

Okay. It was a long night for me, but I got it working finally.
It is worth mentioning that the 2480 doesn't belong to me, and because it's new to me, I only have a cursory knowledge of the routing and how all that is set up on the VS. What confused me is the ambiguity of the v-fire manual.
In the end I had to turn "Track Direct" OFF in EZ Routing and route the R-Bus outs to the Dir Ins, which I'm sure isn't the only way, but it's what I have working at the moment.
Also noticed that in the VS R-BUS config, if you switch R-BUS to OFF, it suddenly says connected and the RBUS lights on the v-fire come on, which seems to be completely irrelevant, because my setup works the same either way.
Just wanted to say thanks for your hard work, and now that my frustration is over, I have to say that not only is it working as intended, I'm very impressed with how well the 2480 works as a control surface. At least for my purposes, the new mapped controls are very intuitive. Thanks again.

Transferring sessions to pc via v-fire
How is this done? I want to take some projects and their individual tracks from the roland hdd and put it into Reaper and I'm not sure how to do this. I read somewhere that it can be done over R-bus but no one went into detail...is anyone able to give a quick rundown of how to make that happen?

Thanks for the reply, though unfortunately I won't be able to try this for a couple of days. I will get right on it as soon as possible, though. Thanks again.

One Last Thing
I hate to add to this thread; you've all been of great help to me thus far.
I've got one other issue, and I'm not sure if it's related directly, but My setup is the v-fire, 2480, and reaper, so I figure this is the best place to post it.
I finally got everything working right, and decided to switch to 96k. I set Reaper, the v-fire, and the 2480 to 96k and made whatever routing changes were needed, and everything seemed great.
However, I noticed that if I'm recording on track one and the track is set to "record:input", when I pull the fader for that track down it takes the sound out of the monitors as expected, but it does not change the actual input level of the track. So the volume does go down, but the meter is still indicating a full signal and using the fader does not affect the level of the input being recorded.
I changed to "record: output (mono)" and suddenly the fader worked like I wanted, the volume AND input level would decrease when I pulled back on the fader.
Trouble is, I track a lot of guitars using amp sims, and when "record utput(mono)" is selected, the track records the guitar with fx on the wav file.
I tinkered with things for a while and looked thru all of the menus but I could not find a/the setting to correct this problem, so now I'm wondering if there is even a way to do it.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

This isnt really a VS2480 control surface problem is it ? :-)
What you are seeing is perfectly normal Reaper behaviour, and it has been like this for a while. The best way to control input volume is on the VS-2480 before it goes do digital.

I see. On second thought, perhaps I was looking at this all wrong. And no, it wasn't directly control surface related, but I didn't know if maybe this particular setup was relevant to the issue. No longer an issue though, so thanks again.

There was another version of remote control for the si-24 wich is like a vs2480. But i cannot find that thread anymore.
Are the lights (red recording, green, yellow) supported by this remote controller app? In the older it was not.

Yes it is, on the VS-2480. Works like a charm here.

Is this the thread you wanted?
As to using the VS-2480 control surface plugin for the SI-24: i have no idea whether its gonna work, but its worth giving it a try.

Panning tracks transferred from VS-2480 To Reaper
Hi yhertogh,
I have managed to transfer tracks from the VS to Reaper and record them, however I cannot seem make the mono tracks I transfer, Pan on Reaper, instead of being sent to the left or right speakers, It acts more like a volume control, with the sound peaking in the middle and then being quieter if I send it to either side. While as if I send it in stereo form into reaper, it will take tracks one and two and split those, while as what I want to achieve is to bring individual tracks to reaper and be able to pan them to the left/right speakers.
Also if your able to tell me how to put the tracks back on the VS-2480 to Reaper I would be very thankful as I cannot seem to do it myself. If you want me to be more succinct in anything just let me know and I'll get back to you.
Cheers
Rob

documentation
hi,
maybe its a stupid question, but is it possible to look at your code? i have found some files in the official SDK ... but for me it seems it isn't documented very well.(csurf API) ... or am i missing something?
i really would like to add support for the "JLCooper cs-10" - so now i wrote a JS script. it works, but i would like to have possibilities like using functions etc.
thanks

m_midiout->Send( ... )
hi,
thanks for the link - makes it clearer now. but one more thing: i can't find a complete doc about these Send()/SendMsg() methods and i'm wondering how i can send sysex messages. do i have to extend the arguments or call one method for each byte i want to send? or using SendMsg() for these messages?
greets and thanks again
