Question: I code shitty C# winform apps in Visual Studio so Design/Designer View is where the app's GUI is created/modified by dragging and dropping. I'd love to see the environment that allows you to write code and modify REAPER's GUI. Please???

    We don't really have that, other than visual studio's dialog editor for designing dialog boxes...

    Heh I was thinking actually I might have something that would be fun to show. Having said that, I code in various environments from xcode 6 to VC6 to VS2013 to vim, so if I did do it it would just be a random snapshot and not indicative of all things...

    Also, design view?! What's that?

Question: What would be the hardest part of recreating the crusFX with RPi, win10 and REAPER? Do you dabble in hardware projects these days?
Asked by Colin (121.45.153.x) on August 31 2015, 9:28pm
Reply on September 1 2015, 2:06pm:
    Would be pretty easy, though I'd need to make EEL2 target ARM, which would be tricky to do efficiently, at least the way EEL2 is designed. At the moment the only way it can work on ARM is by running bytecode, which is quite slow.
