What's New?

(much more detail in the open source changelog)

v2.1.0 #1 (August 9, 2011)

Offical SWS v2.1 release to coincide with Reaper v4!  Please note this version of SWS will work with both Reaper v3 and v4, but v3 support will be dropped in the future.  Please support Cockos and purchase a v4 license if you do not already own one.

v2.0.0 #35 (August 8, 2011)

Issue 332: OSX: Fixed cycle action editor -- now replaced with a basic "create cycle action" modal dialog box. The dialog box can be opened from the actions list (there are 3 "create cycle action" actions) but not from the main "Extensions" menu like on Windows.

Added actions:

  • SWS/AW: Paste (pastes intelligently obeying "trim behind" mode to include empty space)
  • SWS/AW: Insert click track (inserts a new track named "Click" with a click source)
  • SWS/AW: Toggle click track mute (intelligently mutes the click track if it exists, or toggles the built in metronome if there is no click track)

v2.0.0 #34 (August 3, 2011)

Fixed cycle actions window context menu on OSX

v2.0.0 #33 (August 2, 2011)

Fixed "stuck" cycle actions window on OSX

v2.0.0 #31 (July 31, 2011)

Added configurable slot actions (no slot by default):

  • SWS/S&M: Paste input FX chain to selected tracks, slot n

Issue 324: Snapshot support for v4 pan styles/settings

Fixed x64 installer issue
Renamed actions "Set displayed CC lanes, slot n" into "Restore displayed CC lanes, slot n"

Issue 309: Add action "SWS: Open last project"
Issue 310: Fixed Autorender not working in Reaper v4.0 beta

Issue 323: Fixed duplicated "Recall snapshot" actions
Issue 326: Renamed "set/unset/toggle master send" actions to "master outputs", added toggles to 12

S&M Resources view:
The number of slot actions can now be customized in the S&M.ini file, in the new section "NbOfActions".
This section is automatically created for you. *Quit REAPER* then just change the number of slots/actions (none: 0, max: 99).
An example (w/ the list of current configurable actions and their default numbers) is here.
This also "unhides" (i.e. 0 slot by default) 2 new actions:

  • SWS/S&M: Apply FX chain to selected items, all takes, slot n
  • SWS/S&M: Paste FX chain to selected items, all takes, slot n

Beware! Folowing actions are now configurable but their custom ids changed:
SWS/S&M: Trigger next preset for FX n of selected tracks
SWS/S&M: Trigger previous preset for FX n of selected tracks
=> if used in toolbars, macros, etc.. an update is needed (sorry about that!)

    See details, howto and toolbar auto-refresh anim here.

Support for v4 empty take lanes:

  • Tagged action "Xenakios/SWS: Project media..." as deprecated

Issue 50:  SWS: Create regions from sel item(s) named with take

v2.0.0 #1 (January 19, 2011)

BETA: CAUTION !
Due to a change in the way S&M.ini file is managed, you may face some issues when switching between SWS official <-> SWS beta.
Well, a clean upgrade is automatically managed when SWS official -> SWS beta, but you'll probably loose your FX Chains setup when switching back to SWS beta -> SWS official.
So a backup of the "official" S&M.ini might be a good idea (or sticking with the beta as the new S&M.ini format won't change).

Short changelog:

  • PiP support
  • Many S&M updates (including new "Resources" view: FX chains
  • Track templates
  • goodies). See details below.
  • Updated SWS Autocolor view: now also features auto track icon. Demo here.
  • Preliminary V4 updates (S&M, Padre, Xenakios)
  • House cleaning, fixes

Changelog details:

Added S&M Resources view

  • The "FX chains" view turned into a "Resources" view: FX chains
  • Track templates
  • goodies
    Abstract:
    The same features that exist for FX chains are now available for track templates too. A cool thing now is that we can patch existing tracks with track templates (and not only  "add track template as new track"). Well, some other sort of snapshots..
    Also, saving track templates and FX chains is eased thanks to the "auto-save" feature, see below. A new feature "Auto-fill" also allows creating slots automatically.
    Bonus: check out Tallisman's awesome FX Chain library, here!
  • Auto-save feature:
    An "Auto-save" button has been added: it automatically saves the selected tracks' FX chains (or track templates) and insert the related files/slots in the resource list.
    It's a one "click feature", i.e. no file browser is displayed: filenames are automatically generated from track names and saved in REAPER's default FX chains (or track templates) resource path.
    This "auto save" directory can be customized (new popup menu items "Set auto save directory") and filenames can now be renamed ("Name" column is editable).
  • Auto-fill feature:
    If not already present, all FX chain (or track template) files found in the related resource path and its sub-folders are automatically inserted at the selected slot.
  • Applying track templates preserves items:
    - if there's no item present in an applied track template file, the current ones are preserved
    - if some items are present in an applied track template file, those ones are used instead
    - if several tracks are present in a track template file, only the first one is used (when *applying*, when importing, all tracks present in the file are indeed added)
  • New actions:
    SWS/S&M: Open Resources window (FX chains)... - just renamed (replaces "Open FX chains view...")
    SWS/S&M: Open Resources window (track templates)...
    SWS/S&M: Load/apply track template to selected tracks, slot n - where n is in [1;10]
    SWS/S&M: Load/apply track template to selected tracks, prompt for slot
    SWS/S&M: Load/import tracks from track template, slot n - where n is in [1;10]
    SWS/S&M: Load/import tracks from track template, prompt for slot
    SWS/S&M: Clear track template slot...
    Added actions that paste FX chains slots (exiting ones only "apply", i.e. replace FX Chains):
    SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected tracks, slot n - where n is in [1;8]
    SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected tracks, prompt for slot
    SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected items, slot n - where n is in [1;8]
    SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected items, prompt for slot
    SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected items, all takes, prompt for slot
  • New popup menu items:
    - For FX chains and track templates: added "Auto fill (from resource path)"
    - Load/apply track template to selected tracks
    - Load/import tracks from track template
    - Set FX chain auto save directory...
    - Set track template auto save directory...
    - Auto save FX chains and insert slots (from track selection)
    - Auto save track templates and insert slots (from track selection)
    -> those 2 last menu items do the same things than the auto-save button, files are saved and inserted at the selected slot
    - Delete slots & files
    -> on Win, files are sent to the recycle bin
    - Show path in Explorer/Finder...
  • Column "Name" is now editable (file renaming from the view)
  • Drag'n'drop improvments:
    - Internal drag'n'drop of slots (i.e. now moves slots rather than copying them)
    - More 'natural'
  • fixed shortcomings: d'n'd of empty slots, selection after d'n'd, d'n'd when the list is empty, etc..
  • On Win, "Display track template/FX chain" (in the popup menu) now launches notepad
  • Paths pointing to unexisting files aren't reseted anymore
  • Tagged "Xenakios/SWS: Load track template n" actions as deprecated

Updated SWS Autocolor view: now also features auto track icon (the view has been renamed into "SWS Auto Color/Icon").
Demo here.
Rmk: current color configurations will be preserved when upgrading..

  • Added a column "Icon" in the view (right-click in this column or double-click it to set an icon filename) and a tick box "Enable auto icon".
  • Also added action "SWS/S&M Toggle auto icon enable".

S&M Notes/help view updates:

  • Action help: now, when selecting custom macros, the related (veeeery long!) custom id is displayed in the text field (i.e. custom notes about macros are no more saved but that eases the copy/paste of custom ids)
  • Action help: added "ALR" button. Just to make clear the online help (i.e. to the Action List Reference wiki) feature
  • Added actions in order to make things clear:
    - SWS/S&M: Open Notes/Help window (project notes)...
    - SWS/S&M: Open Notes/Help window (item notes)...
    - SWS/S&M: Open Notes/Help window (track notes )...
    - SWS/S&M: Open Notes/Help window (action help)...
    Remark: here's an anim showing how to use notes, action help & online help

S&M Live Configs updates:

  • Added "Auto track selection" option/tick box
  • Fixed activate/deactivate actions not obeying the config's "Enable" parameter
  • Added actions (in the main section) "SWS/S&M: Toggle enable live config n" - where n is in [1;8]
  • Added advanced parameter "CC_DELAY" in S&M.ini (in REAPER's resource directory) - to be tweaked manually!
    If this parameter is set to 0, MIDI CC events will trigger their related "Apply live config" action *immediately* but, in this case, when moving a fader on a large scale for example, all configs in between will also be applied. With a delay (e.g. 250ms, the default value) only the last stable CC value will be taken into account.
  • Undo points for all controls

S&M Cue buss:

  • "Open Cue Buss window" is now a toggle action (
  • reports a toggle state)
  • When creating a cue buss, auto scroll to created the track (TCP)

S&M house cleaning:

  • Cleaned the main "Extensions" menu a bit
  • added following menu items:
    S&M Cue Buss...
    S&M Find...
    S&M Live Configs...
  • Removed the folowing split actions:
    Contrary to their related native versions, the following ones were spliting selected items *and only them*, see this related thread.
    Due to REAPER v3.67's new native pref "If no items are selected, some split/trim/delete actions affect all items at the edit cursor", those actions are less useful (well, they would still split only selected items even if that native pref is ticked). Also removed because of the spam in the action list (many split actions).
    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at play cursor
    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at time selection
    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at edit cursor (no change selection)
    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at time selection (select left)
    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at time selection (select right)
    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at edit or play cursor
    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at edit or play cursor
  • Removed the following take actions:
    Due to native actions "Rotate take lanes forward/backward" added in REAPER v3.67 (move active take up/down actions still there, of course).
    SWS/S&M: Takes - Move all up (cycling) in selected items"
    SWS/S&M: Takes - Move all down (cycling) in selected items"

Other S&M updates/fixes:

  • Added action: SWS/S&M: Left mouse click at cursor position (use w/o modifier)
  • Themable GUIs:hover, pressed,.. states for buttons, actions are now performed on mouse up events, un-stretched PNGs, default focus tweaks, tick boxes look better, use theme 3D colors for dropdows (if defined), etc..
  • Fixed Notes/help and Resources views toggle states
  • Fixed Adam's Fills Gaps actions
  • Fixed disabled some popup items not being grayed
  • Fixed UI refresh issues for "Find" and "Notes/help" views

"SWS/AdamWathan: Fade in/out/crossfade selected area of selected items" now fades in/out to edit cursor if the edit cursor is inside the item and there is no time selection touching the item. It also "crops" the fade in/out to the time selection of a selected item if the selection is completely contained within the item.
"SWS/AdamWathan: Record Conditional (normal record mode unless time sel exists, then autopunch)" now doesn't change modes if the current mode is "Auto Punch Selected Items".

v1.8.2 #6 (October 23, 2010)

Added middle mouse button modifiers to the zoom preferences dialog.

v1.8.2 #5 (October 22, 2010)

There's a few new zoom tool features!  Here's a demo.
To access the new features, use the SWS Zoom preferences dialog.  You can find it in the Extensions menu.
The available options are:

  • Zoom with middle mouse button
    Use the middle mouse button to drag-zoom.  Note this overrides Reaper's middle mouse button behavior, e.g. scrub.
  • No-drag click zooms to item under cursor
    Clicking without dragging in zoom mode on an item zooms to that item
  • No-drag click to undo zoom
    Clicking goes to the previous zoom level/position.  If you have item zoom mode on (above option), then undo zoom works when you're clicking on empty space.
  • Unzoom mode when dragging up (Windows only)
    When in zoom mode, drag the box in the up direction to get a little representation of the current view, and the box around it will be the "new view".  Try it!

I consider this an interim release, the above options will be added to and refined soon.
Also fixed zoom bugs when the master track is visible in the TCP.

Adam's updates:

  • Added action SWS/AdamWathan: Record (conditional, normal record mode unless time sel exists, then autopunch)

v1.8.0 #1 (September 20, 2010)

REQUIRES REAPER v3.66 - These are the released changes from Beta #6! - Mostly S&M updates:

Added new dockable view "S&M Live Configs" and 8 actions "Apply live config n (MIDI CC only)" where n is [1,8].
This is for live performance: optimize CPU/RAM use, get rid of the 16 MIDI channel limit, etc.
Typical workflow example: route your armed input track to the tracks you have configured in the "Live Configs" view.  Then, while playing, you send CC messages (previoulsy learnt) to automatically switch between those tracks/configurations you have defined: mute all tracks except the active one, mute all receives from the input track except for the active one, load track templates, load FX Chains and/or run custom actions when activating/deactivating a config.
These actions belong to a new section "S&M Extension". See details here.  Demo here.
Added action "SWS/S&M: Open Live Configs window..." (in the main section)

Build lane actions updated:

  • Now, the lanes order always match the recording order and work with all media types (including MIDI in-project ones).
  • Demo here.
  • Limitation: for the moment, "building lanes" on *imploded* isn't supported, details here.
  • Added action "SWS/S&M: Takes - Activate lane under mouse cursor"

S&M FX Chain view improvments:

  • Paste of FX Chains in now possible (only FX Chain replacement was possible until now)

  • Internal drag'n'drop of FX Chains (drag from the view, drop in a track) - Windows OS only
  • Added actions:
    SWS/S&M: Paste FX chain to selected items
    SWS/S&M: Paste FX chain to selected items, all takes
    SWS/S&M: Paste FX chain to selected tracks
  • Renamed actions, added "(replace)" to make things clear:
    SWS/S&M: Paste (replace) FX chain to selected items
    SWS/S&M: Paste (replace) FX chain to selected items, all takes
    SWS/S&M: Paste (replace) FX chain to selected tracks
  • Added popup items "Add slot", "Insert slot" and "Delete slots"
  • Text filter added, demo here
  • Simplified display in the "Path" column (when using REAPER's FX Chains default path)

  • Safer cut/copy/paste actions

Added new dockable view "S&M Notes/help" for item notes, track notes and, on Win, custom/online action help:

  • Online help (link to the Action List Reference): click on the action name.
  • When enabled, the lock button just allows key stroke to pass through the main window.
  • S&M Notes/help & S&M Find demo: here.
  • Added related actions:
    SWS/S&M: Open Notes/help window...
    SWS/S&M: Notes/help - Switch to action help - Windows OS only
    SWS/S&M: Notes/help - Switch to item notes
    SWS/S&M: Notes/help - Switch to track notes
    SWS/S&M: Notes/help - Switch to project notes (disable auto updates)  (Note this is *not* REAPER's project notes.)
    SWS/S&M: Notes/help - Set action help file...
    This action sets the filename where your custom notes about actions will be saved (so that you can have different ones, e.g. multi-language). By default this file is set for you, it's S&M_Action_help_en.ini (in REAPER's default resource directory, with other ini files). It's where *action* notes are saved, other notes (item, track and project) are saved in RPP files.
    SWS/S&M: Notes/help - Toggle lock

Added new dockable view "S&M Find" (bound to Ctrl-F) with find all, previous & next buttons.
Simple: when something matches, it's selected.
The available search scopes are: item names, item names (all takes), media filenames, media filenames (all takes), item notes, track notes, track names (in case you're drunk) and marker/region names.

Track folders actions:

  • SWS/S&M: Save selected tracks folder states
  • SWS/S&M: Restore selected tracks folder states
  • SWS/S&M: Set selected tracks folder states to on
  • SWS/S&M: Set selected tracks folder states to off note: the 2 previous ones are different from native action "Cycle track folder state"

  • Remarks:
    These actions only apply for ACTIVE envelopes (i.e. these actions don't create envelopes)
    Send envelopes are not (yet) managed, use receive envelopes instead
    As these toggle actions act on several tracks, the reported toggle state is a "best effort" one

Action List Reference summaries auto generation (Wiki copy/pastable) - Windows OS only

  • See details here. ALR: here.
  • SWS/S&M: Save ALR Wiki summary (w/o extensions)

  • Issue 169: deprecated Xen's actions "Delete selected item and source media (immediately!)" and similar ones
  • Issue 172: fixed slow S&M actions with certain plugins and/or massive in-project items
  • Issue 174: S&M paste routing/sends/receives actions only paste to the 1st selected track
  • Issue 182: fixed strange S&M.ini location on OSX

Added actions:

  • "Select project (MIDI CC only)" Remarks: this action belong to the "S&M section". Learn: absolute CC only. Only the last "stable" CC is processed (i.e. doesn't stuck REAPER).
  • SWS/S&M: Delete selected items' takes and source files (prompt, no undo)
  • SWS/S&M: Delete selected items' takes and source files (no undo)

  • Slight action renaming (mispelling, better display order)
  • Auto-icon from betas is turned off due to too many issues.
  • Fixed action "Randomize item positions"

    - SWS/S&M: Active ME - Save displayed CC lanes, slot n (n: 1..4)
    - SWS/S&M: Active ME - Set displayed CC lanes, slot n (n: 1..4)
    Note: those actions apply to the active MIDI Editor but only belong to the main section of the action list, for the moment. Displayed CC lanes are saved in /Plugins/S&M.ini
    - SWS/S&M: Cycle focused window (Windows OS only)
    This actions need to be bind with a special modifier in order to pass-thru the main window (example: Ctrl Shift a).
    Also, few windows eat keystrokes, it will not work for them (e.g. action list which text filter is focused by default).
    - SWS/S&M: Let REAPER breathe
    This action only makes sense for corner cases macros (see MIDI Editor example here)

S&M updates:

  • All S&M toggle actions now report their toggle states to toolbar buttons and menus
    Notes: with a mix of different toggle states (e.g. toggle something for several tracks), the state will be a "best effort" one. Also, native "limitation": button states aren't always refreshed (contray to their tooltips..)
  • Updated following actions so that floating FX are hidden when the main window gets the focus
    SWS/S&M: Focus previous floating FX for selected tracks (& main window on cycle)
    SWS/S&M: Focus next floating FX for selected tracks (& main window on cycle)
    SWS/S&M: Focus previous floating FX (& main window on cycle)

    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at edit cursor (no change selection)
    SWS/S&M: Split selected items at time selection (select left)

Added FX chain actions:

  • Copy FX chain from selected track

  • Load/Paste FX chain to selected item(s), prompt for slot
  • Load/Paste FX chain to selected item(s), all takes, prompt for slot

    this one was added in the previous build, just slightly renamed
  • Comping - Build lane(s) for selected track(s)

New alpha version of the "SWS Media Pool".  Store lists of media, add insert actions, drag drop from explorer / to Reaper.  Double click to insert file.  Better documents coming later, but feel free to play with this new feature!

Jeffos from the Reaper forum has contributed many actions - look for S&M in the actions list.  Actions for toggling individual FX bypasses, creating cue tracks, and closing windows.  Thanks Jeffos!!

Other new stuff:
"Presets" for the snapshot options
Full FX chain state save with snapshots
Ability to have n>12 "Recall snapshot n" actions (they appear dynamically)
Ported "Preview item" and "Play item once" to OSX
