[RWP] found an HSC set an VST plugin for reaper

[Indigo]

Jim, it may be a peculiar method, but I do begin from a fixed screen 
position when I find the preset buttons of plugs in Reaper's effects 
routing page.
I start at the screen upper left corner, then use Wineyes next clip 
command to advance clip by clip until I hear the word Preset; then the 
word Disabled; then 1 more clip and I get a totally silent icon of some 
kind.
In Fm8, for instance, From that silent icon, I move the curser down 10 
groups of 5 pixels each key press, or 50 pixels down, then 50 pixels 
left, and I reach FM8's preset button, at X713 Y153, with a screen 
resolution of 1024 by 768.
Then I left click at the numPad and the preset list appears at the mid 
arrow keys.
Unfortunately, in FM8 no preset names are spoken, but I can  arrow up or 
down to the next preset; through over a thousand presets;  no need to 
hit enter.

Y148 also hits on the same preset button, which is fairly large.

How I discovered this method, I can't say, only that silent graphic gave 
me a fixed point, to begin from.

I find the preset button in FM8, Absynth 5, Massive, Zebra, and other 
otherwise inaccessible soft synths with this method
Now, all I need is for someone else to confirm that the FM8 X Y 
coordinates I derive also work for them in Reaper. .
