Re: Creating a "Learn" button for MIDI

That did it! Thanks a bunch -- I'm not sure how much I can trust the documentation anymore, haha :)

Re: Creating a "Learn" button for MIDI

Thanks, that's a great idea :) I've tried something similar but I noticed that Reason sometimes has trouble with static decorations that have non-uniform alpha values (e.g. most displays on Reason devices have this slight reflection that you need to implement as a static decoration if you want to ov...

Re: Any tips for building GUIs?

Thanks a bunch for the help so far - turns out I just assumed there were more steps, but once I clicked 'save' on the developer account info page I got access :)

Re: Any tips for building GUIs?

"RE devs" here meaning people who have a registered company with Reason Studios? Or are there any additional steps required? If so, where do I find them?

Re: Best way to bootstrap custom patches?

Thanks! I'm not sure I see how I can save out a patch without first setting a default patch? If I set my device to support patches, I need to supply a default patch (otherwise Recon will complain that I haven't set a default patch). If I don't set my device to support patches, I cannot save patches....

Re: Any tips for building GUIs?

So though I don't follow this rule strictly, I'd say it's good advice to finalize your layout/design as much as possible before beginning the built process. Like with many things, it's easier to change your mind BEFORE you start building than after… Yeah, that's great advice! I ended up using the s...

Best way to bootstrap custom patches?

Hello there! I'm trying to create a device with custom patches, and the official SDK docs state: It is not necessary for a 45 to support patches. If it does, however, the Public resources folder must contain a default patch (which is specified in info.lua). Creating a default patch manually (by edit...

Re: Creating a "Learn" button for MIDI

Thanks! Let's hope they get back to your proposal some time :) I had a similar idea (drawing a semi transparent rect) but it didn't work as nicely as I would have wanted it to :( I'm spending way too much time on the GUI and trying to make it look fancy, and then it's just a little bit frustrating t...

Re: Creating a "Learn" button for MIDI

Turns out using a custom display is actually the right way, and presumably also what Dual Arpeggiator is doing: It doesn't have a property for whether the user has enabled learning - the learning happens in the GUI. The way it is implemented is like this: The Learn 'button' itself is a custom displa...

Creating a "Learn" button for MIDI

Hello there! I'm trying to build "Learn" button for a MIDI value in a device. For example, the Dual Arpeggiator has a LRN button below the two MIDI notes that define its input range. I'm hitting the following problem: Where should the property representing the note live? If it lives in document_owne...

Any tips for building GUIs?

Hello there! I'm new to the Rack Extension game, and in fact was quite pleasantly surprised when I saw that the SDK had finally become available to everyone. Contrary to all I usually expect about tech, it's all been smooth sailing: especially thanks to the awesome cmake setup by a forum local here!...
