[RWP] need some VST recommendations

Wed Oct 24 14:26:52 EDT 2012

Hadi, Session Drummer comes with Sonar, but I don't know if it will run 
in Reaper, but some of Sonar's plugs run just fine in Reaper.
TTS synth runs great.
Reaper will run at least the presets on hundreds of free and bought VST 
plugins.
Some, like Dune, or Z3ta, open with their presetss nicely displayed in a 
list, so all you do is arrow up or down and press enter for presets  to 
load.
Dune, and I think Z3ta, also Albino, Blue, Predator, also respond nicely 
to program change messages sent from your midi keyboard.
To access the parameter list of any synth, from track view press shift+P.
You get a long or short list of presets, depending on what the plugIn 
supplies to Reaper, sometimes nicely named, sometimes only numbered.
Press your tab key while arrowed to a preset to get an edit box, where 
you can type in a value; then another press of tab gets the slider to 
change preset values.
You can increase/decrease values with the arrows, jump to minimum or 
maximum with end and home keys, or jump by groups of 200 with the page 
up and down keys.
These parameter values are displayed as zero to 1,000, or simply zero 
and 1 for an off on  switch.
Press enter on okay to save your parameter value changes and return to 
track view.
Hadi, write to me at 33indigo at charter.net and I can attach the neat 
little Dune demo that behaves itself wonderfully, has about 50 or 60 
nice presets, and never times out.
That is the plug I use as a test plug, to make sure everything is 
working, because it's so totally dependable.

I can also attach Super""Wave P8 synth, if you haven't already found it.
