[RWP] Tiny Baby Steps

[Alex H.]

Hahaha. Well, there's at least one guy who can interface with nvda
controller client, as he did the hotspot knockoff mods for speech
output.

I know this is entirely pipedream/fantasizing at this stage, but does
ReaScript allow any effect param to be changed? I imagine there's IDs
that get mapped to effects and their parameters, and then you'd have
to figure out how much to change the value. Speaking in very
simplified terms of course, but is that kinda what's gotta happen?

Man, if we can get speech output, it's pretty much possible, or at
least I think so, that we could fill in the gaps where reaAccess is
breaking or falling short using reaScript.

Encouraging even if it is tiny.
Thanks,

Alex
