Launch reaper with the button

Pisound Support
1

Hello there!

I just would like to launch Reaper on a one press one the pisound button.
I’m a complete beginner and I really don’t understand how I can make this.
I have already make a script in “/home/patch/local/pisound/script/pisound-btn”
Who go like this:

#!/bin/sh
reaper

But doesn’t work :frowning:

Can someone could shed some light on this please?
Many thanks,
Jeremy

Ok I found this that help:

But my script still doesn’t work, and I discover that the script to start pure data doesn’t working either…

YES!
I get it! :slight_smile:

(The problem with pure data not working was just that I forget to put a patch name main.pd in the puredata_patches directory :person_facepalming:)

For making it, I just re-write the start_PureData.sh script.

If anyone is interested, that how I make it:

Create a .sh file this file in /usr/local/pisound/scripts/pisound-btn/ , and name it as you like.

Put this in it:

#!/bin/sh

# pisound-btn daemon for the Pisound button.

#
#and Jejeremy is a genious ;-)

. /usr/local/pisound/scripts/common/common.sh
. /usr/local/pisound/scripts/common/start_reaper.sh

start_reaper &

Then create a file name start_reaper.sh in the /usr/local/pisound/scripts/common folder and put this in it:

#!/bin/sh

# pisound-btn daemon for the Pisound button.

#Pisound rocks!

REAPER_STARTUP_SLEEP=3

. /usr/local/pisound/scripts/common/common.sh

# If there's X server running
if DISPLAY=$(find_display); then
	export XAUTHORITY=/home/pi/.Xauthority
	export DISPLAY
	echo Using display $DISPLAY
	unset NO_GUI
else
	echo No display found, specifying -nogui
	NO_GUI=-nogui
fi

start_reaper()
{
	flash_leds 1

	log "Killing all Reaper instances!"
	killall reaper 2> /dev/null

	

	log "Launching Reaper."
	reaper &
	RP_PID=$!

	log "Reaper started!"
	flash_leds 1
	sleep 0.3
	flash_leds 1
	sleep 0.3
	flash_leds 1

	wait_process $RP_PID
}

Maybe you would have to “chmod +x” the .sh file, I’m not sure cause I made copy paste from puredata script.

And that it!
You can edit the 2 files and change “reaper” by the software you want, it should work too.
I probably make an update for launchig a specific project in the software.

-Thank you very much.
-You’re welcome, that’s what I’m here for!
-No really!
-Please no false modesty :wink:
