Can't load sysex banks into the plugin from Reaper #328

kara-louise commented 2 years ago

I used to be able to paste bank files either as SYSEX or MIDI files on to a track that had Dexed inserted, and pressing play would load it into the plugin. But nothing happens if I attempt this now. I'm not sure if this is a problem with REAPER or Dexed, since other VSTS I have that except sysex banks such as PG-8x still work. I've tried this with both the older vst 2 plugin and the current vst 3 build at time of writing. I'm using version 6.51 of Reaper on Windows 10. It would be a shame if this can't be addressed as currently this is the most accessible way of loading bank files I know of when using a screen reader.

I started Reaper "as administrator" and it started working again. After that I went to %APPDATA%\DigitalSuburban\Dexed and right clicked on properties of the "Cartridges" folder and I disabled the "read only" checkbox for all. That fixed it for me. This is my workaround, I hope it helps. Edit: after that it created another "Cartridges" folder in the program install folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Dexed and it works there too now.

Older version of Reaper didn't stream any Sysex data ; but I've just tested this with the latest version of Reaper and Dexed and it works.

Should also applies to #401

I will do a double check to see if there is no drawback before closing this issue.

I've bumped the JUCE version to 7.0.11 and now everything seems to work fine under Linux and OS X with the latest Reaper version. Please test the related builds: https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/actions/runs/10239126765
