[RWP] SWS for Augmenting ReaAccess

[jinseng at yandex.ru]

No, sorry, i'm not a programmer at all, so i have no SWS or ReaAccess codes. At the very beginning of my expierience with SWS i found out that is very handy in managing tracks and there settings, it was enough for me because of using hardware in the projects. I've worked out the keyboard map of my own and it boundled with SWS helped me too. Then Ivan moved from his Braille Music Notation software project to creating ReaAccess and the SWS faded out for a while. But in Reaper version 4 ReaAccess lost the contextual menues possibilities on my PC so i with thankful smile turned to SWS again. 
And now i'm sure we are about to make right choosing the help of StandingWaterStudios because everything in SWS is written inside Reaper and is part of Reaper.
By the way with SWS it should be easier to use QWS as the MIDI editor for many tasks in Reaper. And it seems Media Explorer will be brought back to us with SWS too.
Sorry for possible disapointment with such reply.
Best!
Jinseng.
