[RWP] Setting Plug-in Parameters

[Patrick Perdue]

James:

Reaper does support the adding of effect parameters to track strips. 
ReaAccess, however, won't show anything outside the basic stuff on a 
track (guess there's currently no info being passed to the API, or 
ReaAccess doesn't know how to deal with it,) and, of course, the master 
track doesn't show up in the ReaAccess track view, which bugs me for 
reasons I've already mentioned on this list.

Depending on the plugin you're using, you can access none, some or all 
parameters from Reaper with a screen reader. It really depends on the UI.
Speaking of UI, press said button on the focused effect with shift+space 
to bring up the plugin window. Like I said, it works better with some 
plugins than others.
You can sometimes have more luck if you use generic mode for plugins. 
Other times, that makes things even worse.

Happy experimentation success!
