Hi Randy (and all),
In response to your 10/4 posting on NRPN support (or lack of support) in host DAWs with regard to potential patch automation in Aalto I did a little follow up work on the Reaper Forms, and it appears that Reaper does have NRPN support.
Here's a link to the thread:

There's quite a bit of detailed NRPN/Reaper information on the thread which I only partially understand as I'm not a programmer, but it's clear that NRPNs in the Reaper community is not foreign topic. If I can be of any help in gathering further information on this topic please let me know. As I've expressed previously Randy, Aalto is brilliant and beautiful, and if patch automation could be incorporated into it it would add a level "instrumentality" to Aalto that would be wonderful and powerful.
Lastly, perhaps other users could check with their DAW companies as well (I'm happily married to Reaper).
All the best as always,
Christian
Thanks for this. I realized that all the automation and new OSC stuff was looking like another update, so I'm keeping this info handy.
