Hello, I used ReaHotkey but why doesn't it work for me? I want to load it with it VSTi: sforzando (Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc) I also run reaper and reahotkey with admin Then load VSTi: sforzando (Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc) Press the tab key in the plug-in interface. He said Plogue XMLGUI Then there was no reaction. My screen resolution 1920 - 1080 Zoom is also set to 100 per the instructions I don't know what the problem is.

Make sure to download the latest version 0.4.2, we had a bug in 0.4.0 which prevented ReaHotkey from properly detecting SForzando.

As per your description it sounds like you have everything setup correctly, so in case you already have the latest version of ReaHotkey, I don't know why it doesn't work for you. The only thing that comes to mind is that perhaps ReaHotkey can't find the image used to identify the sforzando plugin. To test if this is the case you can do the following:

  1. Launch one of the HotspotHelper executables found in the ReaHotkey folder.
  2. Create a track in Reaper and add the sforzando VST on to it.
  3. After you press F6 in the FX chain window and 'get inside the sforzando plugin' press Windows+Control+Shift+S.
  4. A dialog box should open allowing you to open a file. Select the Sforzando.png file that can be found under Images\Sforzando in the ReaHotkey directory.
  5. HotspotHelper should report whether the image has been found on the screen or not. ImageSearch can fail at times, so in case HotspotHelper does not find the image, it can be worth trying again. Due to this this is not an absolutely reliable diagnostic method, but hopefully it will get us started if needed.
