Numbers2Notes Requirements
Welcome Beta Testers!
Numbers2Notes is a powerful script that relies on specific extensions and plugins to function correctly. Please follow this guide to set up your environment.
New to Reaper Customization?
If you do not have
ReaPack or
SWS installed yet, the easiest way to get started is to run the default recipe from
Reaboot.com. This will install the package manager and core extensions automatically.
1. Essential Extensions (The Engine)
The script will not run without these extensions. Ensure these are installed via ReaPack.

ReaTeam Extensions
System Core
Must include: ReaImGui (Interface), SWS, and js_ReaScriptAPI.

LibreArp (macOS – Apple Silicon)
Arpeggiator
This is an unofficial macOS build of LibreArp provided for
Numbers2Notes beta testing.
It is intended for users who are unable to build LibreArp themselves.
• Apple Silicon (arm64) Macs only (M1/M2/M3/M4)
• Built from LibreArp source
• Unsigned / not notarized by Apple
Because this plugin is unsigned, macOS may block it on first install.
After copying it to your VST3 folder, you may need to remove the
quarantine flag before your DAW will load it.
This file is shared solely for testing convenience.
LibreArp is an open-source project; all credit belongs to its original authors.
