@Christoph-Hart I guess it might, I was just ignoring them my whole life! If I was using numerical values up to this point, and will replace them with a combobox, will the numbers translate to name values? So value 0 will be name 0, value 1 name 1 and so on? This is a question about older session compatability

@Ben-Catman You need to compile HISE with 2 preprocessor definitions added to the Projucer, under Extra Preprocessor Definitions:

NUM_MAX_CHANNELS=16 HISE_NUM_PLUGIN_CHANNELS=16

Then in your HISE plugin project settings, under Extra Definitions Windows & OSX:

HISE_NUM_PLUGIN_CHANNELS=16

This will give you 16 internal routing channels in your plugin, and expose 16 outputs to your host/DAW. Change it to whatever number you need.

@voxuer1 are you building networks at the same time as the nodes? if so remove the networks from the compile process and just build the nodes first. If it succeeds add the networks back in and compile again.

@David-Healey @svkpowa I was referring to this Spire example you posted which only needs one label no? js.

@David-Healey Still have latency man, it didnt do a thing

@David-Healey ah i see.

ill keep trying that from here on out

@dannytaurus Yes I had tried those but to no avail...but seeing your example working made me look back at the project and there was a conflict which is why it wasn't changing anything visually, Thanks for your help it is much appreciated and shows me that I am not going mad at least haha

@David-Healey I finally managed to get a successful VST3 export! "BUILD SUCCEEDED" in the terminal.

What fixed the SDK error: The issue was indeed the VST3 SDK path. I had to point it exactly to the folder containing the base, public.sdk, and pluginterfaces directories. After correcting this in the Projucer Global Paths, the "SDK missing" error disappeared.

Bumpy bump

@Jaytove True, but the videos I mentioned are about file and file system APIs, combined with the steps I gave you above should point you in the right direction

@ulrik Thanks for checking! That makes sense.
I'll wait for @Christoph-Hart to take a look.

@David-Healey Fascinating stuff! Big takeaway for me is keep your business model simple.

@Lindon
Thanks Lindon, I'll try this (I guess I need to operate in onNoteOn).
@David-Healey Ok, tried also to set PreLoad size to -1 but the voice killing still happens.

@David-Healey said in this one looks interesting:

built lots of little projects

100% this! That's what I did over the last year or so.

Folks who jump straight in with a large project are asking for trouble. Even if they're seasoned in other languages or environments. For example, I'm well-versed in building web applications in Ruby On Rails but I wouldn't jump straight over to ASP.NET and try to build a massive project right off the bat.

The ideas for the first 4 HISE plugins I'm developing all came from a very simple concept for each one - focus on one single sound type. The first one is sub bass. Even keeping it simple like this has it's challenges.

@GUJIAN Choose the Export as Instrument option from the Export menu.
