@Christoph-Hart
I tried it out a little today, and it's not that the modulation is deleted when a DAW project is loaded, but rather that the modulation is reset to the state with which the plug-in was exported.

So:
If the plug-in was compiled with modulation of a parameter, it will also be loaded with modulation when the DAW project is reloaded. It doesn't matter if the actual user preset was saved without modulation. And vice versa.

My ideas for a workaround:

I create a panel in whose value I store the modulation matrix data (ScriptModulationMatrix.toBase64()). The panel is saveInPreset.

Saving takes place in ScriptModulationMatrix.setConnectionCallback.

I create a load callback (ScriptPanel.setLoadingCallback) for the panel. When loading is complete, I load the data stored in the panel's value into the modulation matrix (ScriptModulationMatrix.fromBase64(String b64)). I hope this does not create an infinite loop. I could also try UserPresetHandler.setPostCallback, but I don't know if this will also be executed when the plug-in is loaded with the DAW project without a user preset being loaded.

I'll let you know if the workaround works.

@resonant Here's a solution using ScriptFX processBlock() (no nodes) and a global cable. It's a mashup of Claude code and my own, and it works quite nicely.

Just put a knob in the UI called knbCorrelation with range -1.0 to +1.0, or use the snippet below.

// Interface inInit() const rm = Engine.getGlobalRoutingManager(); const corrCable = rm.getCable("correlation"); const knbCorrelation = Content.getComponent("knbCorrelation"); corrCable.registerCallback(function(vNorm) { Console.print(vNorm); knbCorrelation.setValueNormalized(vNorm); }, AsyncNotification); // ScriptFX 1 onInit() const var rm = Engine.getGlobalRoutingManager(); const var corrCable = rm.getCable("correlation"); corrCable.setRange(-1.0, 1.0); reg correlationSum = 0.0; reg sampleCount = 0; reg smoothedCorrelation = 1; reg prevSmoothedCorrelation = smoothedCorrelation; // ScriptFX processBlock() function processBlock(channels) { var left = channels[0]; var right = channels[1]; var numSamples = left.length; correlationSum = 0.0; sampleCount = 0; // Process each sample pair for (var i = 0; i < numSamples; i++) { var leftSample = left[i]; var rightSample = right[i]; var normGain = Math.max(Math.abs(leftSample), Math.abs(rightSample)); if (normGain > 0.0) { var thisCorrelation = 1.0 - (Math.abs(leftSample - rightSample) / normGain); correlationSum += thisCorrelation; sampleCount++; } } // Average correlation for this block if (sampleCount > 0) { var avgCorrelation = correlationSum / sampleCount; // Apply smoothing (same as backend: 0.8 * previous + 0.2 * current) smoothedCorrelation = 0.8 * prevSmoothedCorrelation + 0.2 * avgCorrelation; prevSmoothedCorrelation = smoothedCorrelation; corrCable.setValue(smoothedCorrelation); } } HiseSnippet 1650.3oc2X0sTaaDEVBPYJNoYZ5jNs8NML8BQf.VDBgVZZLXfDlFCdvz7yjoSl0qVasCR6pQZsab6vyPeE5aRyiPeDx08p9Fzd1URVq.kTvSaZR8EF1yO64aO+sm0si4XRRBO1vr1QihHFlWwpyHlvuoOhxL1aaCyqZ0BkHHw1oj1ZTDJIg3YXZN88kDLmcFC0m+3dagBPLLofjgwi3TL4gzPpnfZ6FeKMHXWjG4HZnlzq1XOLm0jGvG.3YZq5FQH7wn9j8QRwlxx3AnDeCyaXg8VEuJdstq5hP8tia20HcW28Ntj0w216KwXD91cwt25VHCyKsiGUvi6HPBRhg4Law8F0wm+CrTC7HZBsa.Qtv0nCX4Tx6xC7jGQIUil9z.u14NpDCCSq1EtsoScaW2pE0iNldg66iTLrKzP2AZNUY3McI34pCu5ZvqBHYpAoYRgz0r5fioQhBNR7bYq8XPzrGBhS5PIUVio9cSqlbPBlXoPzwjcigEi0vYs50WzF9Z9MpUChUIB63P66ZuCqOkQVpOQb+.dWTvg7ABJqeKDChdwNfzoBi4wwMQvIBzINTJuZkybRFj.jfxYyMV5iYcaVPGTIGXR83gQbFrvYtxhMWJzxryRwj9TY1aSTPPWHaxo2.FVJmyv84wgyW6mpYCefcNgChGESgsLk0FJNk28kRHhGgBFPjRfBn+Hwarz0NYQ6MSFwv6yEzdTrRAfdtEs4LfC4.lizpyV6jZ1mlUudUxSdti4AARWYErkUQwuIEcXCB6RhWzdnD5iEDxTJm9Y85S+zqNvogAMA4r8XTwAQD1qqlwHK1ISUyPEHpPknd0rD0NATORrA0SV0T1uanPtdiEiuausQBT99AaMXtHRrfJOIlaSFBMdRKDl0ZaRxwBdjR1r7Fn0v425uXrk+kdMFMdwq50HrTGveMj54EPZySnJ8zw6YKPgVCbuAfIJ2uP1UMigbOzKRkEhLXuGo208erlHmWHdMq1TA1uZLNUEXDBR+afwrVuen0N85QvhB.Ni0tO4sWe1ZYIPfMkF+JYKs28ItU1g8msrR6uMDEewZeJU372BMuEHzx5PDqOw4ltKAcugujMqfFi1ZpzYfDH0Wp9FJNInvn.RS9.lPRNiXHmK7IdkaJ6lxLJlLrSkBTgZaLtGEnVDJlbDuc.ZjSpYODBRKZ2MfiOtCzg8rM1hRiAaIkvA6iXLRPhRLoGJfzSB5b5Oq92m1IW4to88KwzUiIzkriB.IfDxcYo.BquvOUB0WU6wjbNiGarNKub9s+1DD1OSR6HDMVwuGO11QZepRQ3OesFTf0Krv7JASupJGsR.lJSFZeFM6rT5vNVD0pRxTRXFbIlryCHYKjvGt7+ENp+A0MwovVyun8XpZ6+7yWw1R6Y6Lda+FoqZ9w7JNK4.P3SSNUl0R0suocUn.Hqab6kGCeMbTQ7Zg6dZyTVbsf3BKTv5jZEemGR2bHIFpN0sfJRJ2+zb2Z49.8TCvMTUvDMre4y9o.9x5PqBWsDPQQAixJ1flGJyRrQ.XfwdHLuuBB.qaeCUgJkOHwdAfvJ.A7.vTLQQro557BsqpLOeyJePJP5Eq8vYOfkZmol.yoBEyh9mbAGCx5be6f6a9xowMtEwTXlAq8gxX3wLXRyr9M.MyojSCktttbs79wNP.Rs3OgOYLckqMyX5lyrXPpIZBH86O+7TlW15wngD0q9TWf8Ip0Ptbn88ILHKGbMtug288am228Ecte22AXA.gihQrjHdBwUameYGRH8HXDtDcpmViUpTCcpFaSDCX5a8pMRIURJoqXWvU3pOwUNwUzI1FwzD5ouDVqw+oMZQKlhz3U2aGlLatCAN4dGjfAGizOWZCGDjPdL0S36pqXA4UzI+.TrGDCw5fGRniEs8Qk8fZjKcTMm9M8VY2I7sxW5ct2J+dvj3kFyb1bL1gJuBXG1PR.Tmqv3GCE18PCBD4TKWn1hy3Q9bFsTZwgDn8TeXxRcrW4AZSg.t7nfx0abHIf.INEj9hFODlcEEC9IxD5KbuvibWY75yrRgqsr6h86uufZ5+W+Bpye0Gzv7c6n3mZAMtWwVEJs+uIV91Xfi2F1HDgi4OGmNmlrn+CTTfyMS8a+NqUK4Za2y9CAEBWY7bLt7VcFEWYRU7VSphqNoJd6IUw0lTEuyjp35+8JJuQeyABdXZsggQq16nFa0zLcDHUYhweQsTysb

@treynterrio What's in your preset XML?

I’ve completely cleared all relevant directories and rebuilt HISE from scratch, but the issue still persists. At this point, I’m wondering whether this could be related to a version mismatch of some sort with my OS. very frustrating been pulling my hair out the past day and a half.Some thing that is confusing me is even though i get the message that the build failed, it still produces a working file in the dll directory that loads perfectly as a hard coded master fx in hise. plugins with hardcoded fx always crash the daw how ever, i think it 100% has to do with the lib file.

Happy new year !

@DanH @Oli-Ullmann Seems like I managed to make it work by retriggering the current note. But obviously this retriggers all envelopes so not really good implementation.

Maybe you can borrow some code

I think setting isMomentary to Enable would be better.

@daniloprates The guide I linked to above has all the info.

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.

@WepaAudio you need to use the full file path in the load command

@dannytaurus working 🎉

@David-Healey Thank you so much, I'll give it a try.

@Christoph-Hart Interesting, I did not know that! Looking forward to the designers whining at me about Figma pixel-perfect accuracy! 🤣

It might be worth performing this rounding/clamping in the UI fields too, for consistency sake. I totally get it is a JUCE baseline thing, so I'm not going to whinge about sub-pixel accuracy or anything like that.

So I solved the problem for now by setting the Notes Number slider Pack to Step Sequencer mode and the min max settings to +/- 12. I didn't figure out the problem but this works for now. Thx

do you need to add anything to the extra preprocessor definitions when building in projucer to get this stuff to work properly? had to rebuild and figured I'd consult you guys before I move on.

@sletz Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and same result.

Now I understand that rather than versions, it is about input output numbers.

For example the below one. Naturally Hise complains about the input output channels. I am not sure how to handle that.
