[Rwp] Slightly OT Isotope Plug-ins

Wed Feb 10 18:10:16 EST 2016

They changed their installer starting with Ozone 7, and the contact i had there stated they plan to use it going forward. At the time when i reached out to them they said they would alert the team that the installer was not accessible to see if they could do anything before other products started rolling out with it.  I haven’t tried the new Vinyl or DDLY yet on OS X but i don’t have high hopes if its gonna be like Ozone 7. 

Regarding the saving of presets i was able to do a lot of them but turning on keyboard access mode to full in the plug ins and then changing the presets with the up and down arrows.  VoiceOver while it didn’t read the preset  browser would speak the names of the preset when they got changed  and i would used its copy last spoken phrase to the clipboard as text feature to copy the preset name and paste it tinto the edit field when saving the preset in reaper. 

In the cases where it didn’t speak the name, i would just loop some audio  select a folder of presets,  in the preset browser in the plug in, (this part is accessible)  then in finder (windows explorer on the the mac basically) i would go to the folder where the presets were saved.  overtime i hit the down arrow and the preset changed I’d  hit the down arrow  in that folder and copy the name of the preset and save the preset as that in reaper. 

Long story short i imagine you could get away wit something similar on windows if someone was willing to put in the time.
