[Rwp] Introduction and a question about setting up FW 1884 with Reaper

[David Regan]

Hello Rod

I am no expert but I have managed to make the transition from sonar to
reaper and have my fw1884 operate as a control surface.

I've only had to set it up once so I have gone through the reaper
preferences to remind myself how I did it.

Firstly, you have to disable the fw1884 control ports for input and output
under midi devices.  

Then go to control surfaces and add a control surface.  I had to set the
control surface mode to Mackie control and set the midi input and output for
the control surface to fw1884 control.  From memory, if you're using jaws
you will have to use the jaws cursor to find the inputs and outputs and
route pc to jaws to access them.

Finally in the fw1884 control panel, change the control protocol to Mackie
control emulation.  

I hope that gets you started.  Don't forget to change the control protocol
back to fw1884 native if you want to use it in sonar.

Cheers.

Hello gang:

I am Rod Alcidonis. I recently joined the listserv as I am looking to make 
the transition from Sonar to Reaper. I am an attorney by profession -- I 
only record as a professional hobby. I have been reading the archive and I 
have already learned a great deal from you guys.

For the past six years, I have been using an FW 1884 successfully as my 
control surface in sonar. I have attempted to get the same setup to work in 
Reaper, to no avail. I have been a able to get the midi and audio routing to

work fine, but the control surface functionality appears to be completely 
broken. Anyone has successfully configured this board in Reaper?

If you are out there I would appreciate your help. Thanks thanks.




Rod Alcidonis, Esq.
