I'm missing Steve Harris plugins in reaper, is there a wrapper like linvst for ladspa plugin?

Carla?? -> Works, just tested it.

Some days ago I played with the waveshaper while having headphone on. I tweaked the parameters and absolutely nothing happens. Suddenly there was a noise that almost killed my ears... :shock:

Yeah I've had similar experiences with ladspa plugins in general. A lot of the steve harris ones are fantastic though, like the am pitchshifter.

That looks like exactly what I'm after. How do you make it work?

To be quite honest I've never tried. Maybe just copy the lib into your ~/.vst dir and see if it picks up your ladspa plugins? FWIW, I seem too stupid to figure out how to download the lib file :)

Otherwise the author is active here and can most likely help you.

the website there is (and has been for quite a while) a bit "work in progress" :-/
i will (someday) make a better site, but until then:

there's a little bit more info in this updated version:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code ... PgSpDXyyW7
there's a txt file + some scripts in the zip file..

i have a similar dssi wrapper too, if anybody is interested in that:

the hope/plan is/was to combine these into one plugin, that could wrap ladspa, dssi, and possible lv2..
not sure when, since i'm currently rewriting some lower-level parts of my framework..

FWIW, I just downloaded and tested quickly. Seems to work in reaper.

Thanks, that works really well for what I've tested so far. Except the AM Pitchshifter, it mutes the track :x
Haha nevermind though, this is really handy.

I just want to say a quick thank you for this wrapper. I recently moved to Reaper and, although overall I love it, I was finding hard to use Reaper's plugins after 9 years used to LADSPA. Of course there is always Carla, but it creates an additional step in the workflow and it's a bit cumbersome...
No more; I ran the setup script, and when I opened Reaper's FX and saw all the new stuff, it felt like Christmas day... Very very useful, kudos to the developer. :)
