[RWP] Sorry, I can't start other Mail for my question Re: How to access effect parameters?

[TheOreoMonster]

ReaAccess 2 never happened. the one available at www.reaaccess.com is the most recent. Best used with the last version of version 3. Believe its 3.78 or something like that. Look for older version of reaper on the reaper download page.
