Renoise 2.5 Not Launching From Reaper Via Rewire

Trying to run renoise through reaper v3.15 and its not opening. Just says
“the following effect cannot be loaded :
Rewire: Renoise”
Perhaps its cos i have version 2.1 and version 2.5 installed?

Having more than one Renoise verison installed should not be a problem:

The Renoise version you launch last, will register itself as ReWire slave client.

  • Try quiting all ReWire apps
  • launch the Renoise version you want to use as ReWire slave
  • Quit Renoise
  • Launch Reaper, select Rewire → Renoise as FX in reaper and it should start up automatically

Just tried that -
I’ve also un installed renoise2.1.
I’ll try deinstalling and reinstalling reaper.

Uninstalling reaper (and clearing its directory) has done the trick.
Cheers… im not sure where the problem lies but at least it working now.

Nope - its not sorted…
I think it coincidental that it worked earlier.

Renoise sometimes starts as slave and sometimes it doesn’t.

Could you please check if theres a “ghost process” a kinda dead Renoise or Reaper process running in the taskmanager, when it does not work?

Or the other way around: If you restart windows, then start Reaper and Renoise, does it then always work for the first time?

Some users reported problem a while ago with Renoise not closing correctly. Closing, but the process is still alive in the taskmanager. See http://www.renoise.com/board/index.php?showtopic=20935
