Custom FX Menu Setup for REAPER

This document describes how to create a custom multi-level effects menu in REAPER. It involves editing a text file called "dopp_favs.txt" located in the REAPER resources directory. The file uses specific symbols and formatting to define the menu structure and items. An example menu layout is provided to demonstrate how to organize effects plugins into submenus.

Custom multi-level fx menu constructor.

In case someone wants to create additional "special" fx menu, here how it works:
When you first time clicked on it in right click menu , “dopp_favs.txt” file is created in the REAPER’s
Resources directory.

You can open that file with notepad and edit. Format is as in example below:

|> Instruments
|> Native Instruments
| Kontakt 5 (8out) :>VST:Kontakt 5 (Native Instruments GmbH) (8 out)<:
| Kontakt 5 (16out) :>VST:Kontakt 5 (Native Instruments GmbH) (16 out)<:
| Kontakt 5 (64out) :>VST:Kontakt 5 (Native Instruments GmbH) (64 out)<:
|<
|> Cockos
|> 1 more level submenu
| RS5k :>VST:ReaSamplOmatic5000<:
| ReaSynth :>VST:ReaSynth<:
|<
|<
| TyrellN6 :>VST:TyrellN6<:
|<
| ReaEQ :>VST:ReaEQ<:
| Stereo Enhancer :>JS:loser/stereoEnhancer<:
| Volume Trim :>JS:dopp_volume_trim<:

Result:

In left column is what will be seen in the menu.


Symbol “|> “ means start of submenu (after such symbol is name of submenu)
Symbol “| “ means menu entry (after such symbol is name of effect, that you want to see in menu)
Symbol “|< “ means end of submenu
Note: important, at least 1 space should be between symbol and menu text.

In right column between “:>” and “<:” is what will be fed to the REAPER's function.
Between symbols “:>” and “<:” should be placed name of fx for VST (or path to file for JS plugins)
in exactly the same format as you see above, because REAPER's function is very capricious.
If not sure , you can see type, name and path of plugin in Project Media/FX Bay.
1 more bigger example is down below:
Copy it from here into “dopp_favs.txt” file, save it and then look how it works in REAPER.
Double symbol “||” gives separator line in menu.
