Remove the old ReaSonus version

If you had the 'old' ReaSonus version installed, installing the new one will leave you with some artifacts. Within the Actions List there is a huge list of old ReaSonus actions that addde some of the logic. You do not need them anymore.

Step 1

First we will remove all the actions from the list. This can be done by going to the Reaper resource folder. Once in the folder:

  • Search for reaper-kb.ini and make a copy of it (just to be sure)
  • Open the file in your editor of choice
  • There will be a list of lines like SCR 4 0 REASONUS_ALWAYS_ON "Reasonus: Always On" Reasonus/always-on.lua
  • All the lines with REASONUS_ in it can be removed. Please take care not to remove other lines
  • Save your changes and step 1 is done

Step 2

Now we will remove all the actual files with th scripts

  • In the Reaper resource folder is a folder named Scripts. Open this folder
  • Inside this folder you'll see all scripts added by either yourself or other script makers
  • Therer should be a folder named: Reasonus, and remove it
  • We're done

When you now restart REAPER and go to the actions list all the old ReaSonus scripts should be gone.

Make a backup

It will never harm creating backups. If you make backups of your complete REAPER resource folder, you probably should be fine. But here the steps to create a backup and using a backed up version

Making a backup

  • Open the REAPER resource folder. In REAPER go to Options > Show REAPER resource path in Explorer/Finder.
  • In there you will find a folder named ReaSonus. In this folder are the filters, settings, localisation files and plugin mapping files located.
  • Save a copy of the folder with all the content to a save place.

Using a backed up version

  • Open the REAPER resource folder. In REAPER go to Options > Show REAPER resource path in Explorer/Finder.
  • You might want to backup the current files. See above how to.
  • Remove/Rename the Reasonus folder
  • Move the ReaSonus folder from the backup to the REAPER resource folder. (Be sure it is still named ReaSonus)
  • Restart REAPER
