JSFX programming has a few basic things we need to cover. Each new piece put in place will help build a more recognizable picture, but only after much time spent digging through the unrecognizable pile of puzzle pieces! JSFX basics Let the puzzle be built in your brain piece by piece. You will have to reference back and forth as you go. Most of these things won’t make immediate sense if you’ve never programmed before. First we need to cover some JSFX basics, and some programming basics. We’ll cover adding these features one by one along with the logic for each one. This means that the first MIDI note would output a cc value of 127 and the last MIDI note would output a cc value of 0. Invert values - An option to invert the values output.The plugin should allow you to select the input and output channel for the converted data Sometimes I may want to take MIDI notes from channel 1 and output MIDI cc to channel 10. Channel selection - MIDI has 16 channels.So from 1->64 I would get a mapping of all 128 CC values. Scaling means that if my lowest note is 1 and my highest note is 64 then each note is worth 2 CC values.

Scale the output - OPTIONAL sometimes I want the midi notes 1-128 to map directly to CC values 1-128 even if they are limited.

So ideally we want to limit the lowest note and the highest note that our plugin responds to. There’s 128 possible MIDI notes, and I don’t have a 128 key keyboard.

Limit the range - I want to limit the range of the incoming notes.

For instance I could press the keys on my keyboard to adjust the value of a knob in another plugin. This would allow someone to use their keyboard keys to change the values of something. I want a plugin that takes incoming MIDI notes and converts them to MIDI CC (controller change). I already have an idea, so lets discuss that. Generally the first thing that you need to do is come up with an idea. I’ll be walking you through the application of these concepts and you may find it easier to understand these concepts in a context. If any of part 1 doesn’t sink in, or if you feel confused then just skip to part 2. I will reference this pre-requisite information, and you can always jump back if you get lost. If you wish to just jump in you can simply skip to part 2. First I’m going to cover some concepts, then in part 2 we’ll dive in. The fun part is that we can output any data that we want! Write the plugin - Part 1 You insert it on a track, the JSFX plugin accepts data and outputs data. The language is the same, but the ‘container’ is different so to say) These effects can be programmed in place during a session and the results experienced immediately after saving your file.Ī JSFX plugin works like any other VST/DX/AU plugin. Video is done in EEL which is very close to JS FX. This language allows you to create realtime audio, MIDI and video effects. Done? From the lineage of Jesusonic came JSFX which is an integated programming language in Reaper.

right here, there was some monstrosity called Jesusonic. You may still enjoy reading this anyway, I hope! What is JSFX?Ī long time ago on a planet.

This tutorial really isn’t for you, but maybe you can skip to results to see what happened. He brought up this question about a plugin that translated MIDI notes to CC on behalf of another user. If you have any questions then please comment, I will happily answer to the best of my ability.īig shoutout to Jon at The Reaper Blog. The only thing that you need for this is a computer with Reaper installed and a working internet connection.
