Updated 11/11/2021 Jamstix 4 Reaper Regions script

Post by R Green »

Hi,
Thanks.
I've just about got it working now on Osx. If anyone else wants to do this they need to add something like.......
osystem = reaper.GetOS(osystem)
local isthere
isthere = false
if osystem == "OSX64" or "OSX32" or "macOS-arm64" then
isthere = reaper.file_exists("/Users/username/Music/Jamstix4/jamstix.mid")
else
isthere = reaper.file_exists("C:\\ProgramData\\Jamstix4\\jamstix.mid")
end

although the "else" may not just be for Windows anymore. A similar test needs to be made further down for the jamstix mid file too, where you set the shortcut.
My one problem now is that the Solo and Drumsolo parts both get the same region colour. Perhaps an SWS osx bug. Both contain the word solo of course.

Edit - make sure auto region colouring is enabled in the Auto Color/Icon/Layout window in SWS. Also a toolbar button to get straight to the script is a good aid to memory.

I remember I had the same issue with Chorus and Pre-Chorus in the old script but I honestly cannot remember what I did to resolve it. I think something in the SWS color .ini file.

EDIT: Try putting double quotes (" ") before and after Drum Solo in the sws-autocoloricon.ini file

I would like to see a video - it sounds like a benefit for composing.
