Expression-2-Reaticulate

Info

This tool converts Steinberg (Cubase / Nuendo / Dorico) Expression Maps (.expressionmap) and Apple Logic Articulation Maps (.plist) to Reaper Reaticulate (.reabank) format. It will export a Reaticulate-compatible .reabank file, with some visual enhancements based on Spitfire UACC list.

Currently, only keyswitches and CC messages are supported.

Usage

• Download the archive file
• Export files beside the folder that includes .expressionmap or .plist files
• Run main.py
• The script will scan sibling folders, convert maps, then move new files to "ReaBank Export".
• You can copy the text from new documents and use Reaticulate's "Paste from Clipboard" feature to add them to your project.
• You might want to change "group" name (g="Converted Maps) field.

Support

Tested with Windows 10, Reaper v6.51, Reaticulate 0.5.6

Script is only tested in Windows environment, but should work in any Mac OS X or Linux distributions.
