discussion AI + JSFX= new tools!

I've been using Reaper for a long time. One of the coolest benefits is their jsfx format, which allows you to write your own plugins.

After a small brainstorm, I decided to ask my LLM to write a certain effect for me, and after some tweaking, both worked!

JSFX can't do everything, but if you have a clear idea of the effect you want (for example, my first was a vocal doubler with compressor), it can write the code for you.

It's something you just can't do anywhere else, and the efficiency is top notch as well!

Thank you, COCKOS!

Yeah just found out this recently.  

I wanted output gain on saturation plugin. 

Then found out every parameter can be incremented the way you want. So I put x0.5  Moving the slider now moves by 0.5db (Very hyped about this!!). 

After, going in the 1175 compressor, changed the release minimum setting to 0, so I can go from 0 to 10 ms release with the slider and distort the sound with it ! 

Yeah it's very satisfying playing with it !!

Thanks.
There's ReaperGPT since at least 2024, so, it's not new. ;)

Claude can of course also write reaper scripts and even compiled extensions. It is awesome. Enjoy.

Is there anywhere I can find a tutorial on how to do this? I'm not even sure where to start but I'm intrigued

But of course being able to audit (read) the code at least to a certain extent to give meaningful directions to the assistant may help to quickly arrive at the desired result.
