Binaural and UHJ not working under ReaJS VST (Windows)

[hectorC]

I'm trying to get the ATK plugins to work in Max 7 (Windows 10) using ReaJS VST. Most of them seem to work except for binaural and UHJ decoding. I also tested by loading ReaJS VST inside Reaper and the result was the same as in Max: there's no audio output and the ear images are not refreshed. Is this probably due to a path issue that works differently in ReaJS VST? In Reaper, using the standard JS loading (no ReaJS VST) these plugins work fine.

I assume that you are on Windows? I'm on mac myself, but that shouldn't stop us from getting this sorted out.

The first step is to get this working in Reaper. The kernels used for convolutions (used by UHJ encoding and decoding, binaural decoder, and by the the spreader, diffuser and SuperStereo encoders) resides in the Data folder. To me it sounds like these files are not correctly installed. You need to make sure that you copy the "ATK" folder in the "Copy content to Data folder" so that the Data folder contains a folder named "ATK".

Hi Trond,

Thank you for your help. Yes, I'm on Windows. I installed the ATK plugins following the instructions and the kernels are correctly installed in the Data folder (inside the ATK folder). I accessed this location via the Reaper menu option that opens the resource folder (which in Windows is located in [user]/AppData/Roaming/REAPER). The plugins work fine when loaded in Reaper using the JS plugin directly but fail to work when loaded via the ReaJS VST plugin (which I'm ultimately trying to use in Max/MSP).

Hmm... I didn't realize Cockos had the ReaPlugs VST FX Suite. It does say there is support for ReaJS plugins on that page.

Do the "in built" Reaper JSFX plugins work in Max/MSP with the ReaJS VST plugin?

[hectorC]

Thanks Joseph. Yes, actually on the front page of this repo (readme.md) the ReaPlugs and ReaJS VST are mentioned. Yes, the other JSFX plugins work fine in ReaJS and Max/MSP. The other ATK plugins (seems that the ones not requiring kernels) work fine too. I will try later today to set the kernel paths inside the ATK JS code to absolute paths and see if that fixes it.

Ah... if everything else works, sounds like its a path thing....

HI just to let you know the same issue exist for me on Mac and the last days update for reaper natalie

I want to chime in here since I encounter the same issue: The ATK works splendid (THANK YOU!) in Reaper 5.7 on Windows 8.1 x64, but I can't get any of the plugins using kernels to work in the ReaJS VST, while all other Reaper scripts work fine in ReaJS here. There is no audio out, even though I have set my ReaJS plugin to four inputs and 6 outputs in the config file (doing only Level 1 Ambisonics).

• I checked the paths in the ATK scripts and they seem to resolve correctly.
• I tried to set the paths to absolute and it still did not work.
• I tried to compile the scripts with the Jeep Geez compiler but that created VSTs that crashed my DAWs and I'm not into this kind of stuff deep enough to debug it myself.

I'm trying to get it to work in Plogue Bidule and (if possible) in Bitwig Studio (yes I'm crazy like that, I do all my surround stuff in Bitwig ;-) ).

Any hints would be greatly appreciated if any of you got it to work.

Thanks and cheers,

Tom

Fix for OSX I ran into the same problem as nbk16 and discovered that the alias to ~/library/application support/ATK hadn't been created correctly. I tried to create an alias though the Finder but that didn't work either.

The plugins passed audio only after copying the ATK folder directly to the Data folder inside Reaper's resource path.

It maybe worth mentioning that i'm running 10.10.5 on two machines; MacBook Pro, Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014 and an iMac,27-inch, Mid 2011, and the install went fine on my Macbook.

Hope this helps, and thanks for the amazing software, i'm really enjoying exploring ambisoncs!
