[RWP] soft synths and FX

[David P Shortland]

Hi & Greetings from ‘Down Under’

Dimension Pro will not show any presets in the Preset Drop Down box as it uses a Program Browser to access its programs.

As you use JAWS I would suggest you use HotSpotClicker to create a HotSpot in the DP UI.

Once the Program Browser is open and JAWS gets Focus tis just a case of Scrolling thru the directories, auditioning the sounds, and when you have the sound you prefer, ALT plus F4 to close the Program Browser.

There is one good thing about creating a HotSpot for DP, (I use AutoHotKey on my system), if you have Rapture, they share the same position for opening up their respective Program Browsers. Bonus!!

With regards your I/O’s try using Shift plus I, then TAB thru this screen until you here Sends, this is a Drop Down Box and has all your Trax in order (excluding the Trak you are on), which you then can Select.

Be aware that REAPER is very Open Architecture in the way it handles its Routing, so as a beginner to REAPER, like myself, Double Check everything... ittakes a bit of getting used to...*smile*

Kind regards

Subject: [RWP] soft synths and FX

Couple of issues with the FX window. Having trouble accessing the presets in some of the FX plugins, particularly the soft synths. When I tab to the presets combo, if I up down arrow I get no preset or factory default but nothing else. If I press page down I sometimes get into the list where I can up down arrow. But in the soft synths, e.g, rae synth, I get nothing no matter what I do. how do I access the presets for soft synths? I also have dimension pro installed and it is in the list, but again I don't seem to be able to figure out how to access the presets.
Another issue I'm having is that sometimes after I choose a preset and go back to the track view, if I then change my mind and want to choose a different effect, pressing F sometimes reopens FX window, but sometimes I just stay in the track view, and so tabbing just takes me through the track buttons instead of the FX controls. If I do a jaws cursor to read the screen, it appears as if the FX window is still open but I just can't tab through anything.
Off topic, but another issue I'm having is how to set ins. Pressing I opens the i/o window but there doesn't appear to be any way to select inputs from there, just sends, receives and outputs etc. The only way I can do it is to use jaws cursor to find the word, in 1, which is just after the track title, then right clicking it to bring up a menu. Is there a better way than this because it seems so clumsy. One last thing, what's that dialogue that appears when you press spacebar to stop recording, asking to save files? Is it correct to just hit enter on that or what?
Any help would be great thanks.
