@Christoph-Hart Alright. I had a feeling I was overlooking something.
I'll try both Davids and your Method Christoph. Just to get on top of what's actually possible.

It seems this issue is still here.

I have a situation where a customer apparently needs to re-activate the license each time he wants to use the plugins.

I have very sparse information, but this is probably due to a changing MachineID after a restart. I have told the customer to verify if the current ID matches the one in the currently activated license to confirm the theory. Hopefully I'll get this crucial information.

In the waiting, is there anything I could do aside of just using JUCE_USE_BETTER_MACHINE_IDS?

These are examples compiled in HISE (600x600 canvas). White knobs are PNG filmstrips. Black knobs are LAF.

@bashfulsound It's a bug. I submitted a PR here but not sure if Christoph has seen it yet.

@David-Healey cool. thanks!

@Bart I get inspiration from everywhere, having said that I have a massive PureRef file with all kinds of designs.

@Christoph-Hart I've merged the new commit and it no longer crashes, just shows some ugly errors. Is this intended as a stop-gap solution? Because isDefined() still returns true for the none-existent function.

Edit: Oh I see, it just stops the execution at the "error"

Tried your suggestion and appears to be working here, maybe a preprocessor definition (default true) to protect older buggy projects?

@David-Healey That's fixed now, it now respects the scope of anonymous functions within a namespace like this.

@Christoph-Hart

The newly built HISE version creates a new RHAPSODY template

Which version of macOS and Xcode?

@dannytaurus Yeah this is what I'm doing

const automationDataFile = Expansions.getAppDataFolder().getChildFile("automation.xml"); const automationDefaults = Engine.createMidiAutomationHandler().getAutomationDataObject(); // Pulls the defaults from the project on first run const uph = Engine.createUserPresetHandler(); uph.setStateManagerProperties({ SubStates: { MidiAutomation: "External", MPEData: "External", macro_controls: "External" }, ExternalFileDefault: { MidiAutomation: automationDefaults }, ExternalFile: automationDataFile.toString(automationDataFile.FullPath) });

@justinfitzmusic

All a user preset does is store/restore the state of controls on the UI. So to get a sample map to change when a preset changes you need to script one of your UI controls to change the sample map when its value changes.

I have a video here that shows how to do it using a combo box - but you can use any control.

@dannytaurus ah that makes sense. I'm just getting Claude to help with small little tasks so I haven't gone to the trouble of setting up a remote repo, etc.

@Lurch It's part of the alert window system so you need to use functions like drawAlertWindow

@Christoph-Hart i figured out that the jucer file didn't have the hi_faust module included, but it exported fine after adding that

@Chazrox Thx, it was kind of tricky to code but makes it fun.
I thought about making it grabbable for potential updates.

I did it with Claude in two days. Most of the time was actuallly spend on a bug in the Juce module though, that david helped to fix. In the end I have 3 files in the Hise Source that needed changing.

Its not a gracious proces though.

I need to export first so it creates the batch file and set all files up from hise but it will choke on the Juce module missing. Then switch to Juce 8 (trivial, I have a script to switch easily), add the module / flag in Juce and start the batch file again.

There is some other stuff to set up like an encoded file so the connection can be set up secure and some settings on the Hise side need to be hooked up if you want the screen to dim and audio to block, but you do this once per product in Moonbase.

Honestly it works for me, but looking forward to supported integration. Moonbase is a great platform.

@ustk
Ha ha :-D
I feel exactly the same way!
