@s_creator I just do videos. I have one demo video per product.

Very simple videos: https://www.youtube.com/@meatbeatsofficial

I make an audio demo first in Logic, then record the plugin window and use those recordings along with the audio and some background visuals to make a demo video. I try to include enough text in the video to cover the plugin features and benefits.

I don't do demo versions of the plugin, or trials of any kind.

I don't do licensing at all yet, but will do when I move away from Gumroad.

The reason I don't do trials or demo versions isn't because of the complexity of doing it, it's because I don't like them myself. I like to watch a good demo video, then buy the plugin.

Most of the trial plugins I've ever downloaded were never eventually bought. They just languish in trial jail.

The exception is freemium, where the plugin has a demo mode with limited feature set but is otherwise fully functional - no noise bursts, time limit, save limit, etc. I see that as basically two plugins in one - a free one with limited features and a paid one that just unlocks all the features.

Thank you for the help @David-Healey ! This worked perfectly.

I would like to include a few additional notes. There is a good bit of information that needed to be passed to each sampler. The interface relayed this information to controls in the MIDI Processors via interface control callbacks in the following format:
scriptProcessor.setAttribute(controlIdx, value);

In the onNoteOn block, Message.ignoreEvent(true) and Message.makeArtificial() were called. The note IDs produced by the Synth.playNote() command were stored in an array that was referenced when turning off the notes with Synth.noteOffByEventId() in the onNoteOff block.

Not something I've explored for demo videos but might be something Claude Design can help with.

@dannytaurus hey thanks for the updated fix! You are right the knob movements weren't being recorded with mine. I haven't got around to integrating your fixed version yet but appreciate you sharing it.
@AxiomCrux this is my first HISE plugin so not sure when the issue appeared with Ableton, and I would look at that other PR if you want knob movements recorded - my proposed fix indeed broke that.

@David-Healey - well that seems to work so thanks again.

Tobias just informed me that their newer C++ module is indeed JUCE 6 compatible: https://github.com/Moonbase-sh/moonbase-cpp

Just swapped out my self-built solution with the C++ module with the help of Opus 5.5 - works like a charm! Nevertheless looking forward to see a official integration with HISE in the future :)

@David-Healey Really good to see Moonbase adding new stuff! Looking forward to GBP holding, coming soon hopefully! 😀

I'm interested in SoundSync too, very similar feature set, but much simpler pricing, albeit a newer, less proven company.

@scottmire said in Vibe Coding Custom Nodes:

Now, I'm trying to do as much as I can on my own without bothering too many people

Feel free to bother me, I could talk about DSP all day. It's already the thing I do day and night.

@duma That is the only way - compiling HISE and compiling plugins is the same process whether you use a precompiled build of HISE or not.

@cartemtune thanks folks! So Australia, New Zealand, and Japan seem to be the countries that I need to take a look at. I actually can easily unblock these countries on my store and set up custom tax rates on my store so I can at least collect the taxes, but I definitely need to do more research on how to remit them correctly. maybe after that then I'll start thinking about moving to an MOR if I need to. I'm just already so cozy here lol migrating platforms is so much work :')

@dannytaurus Thank you so much!

Started the process and Whish me LUCK :)

@resonant Yes sir im using A1, A2 isn't working for me at all it just crashes everytime when i try to load it, apparently its something to do with the top level architecture of A2 being SlimmableContainer which HISE isn't liking and A1 being top level WaveNet which works fine! Any ideas if im doing something wrong there?

@dannytaurus Haha, well I looked into it anyway. Seems like I have to use Wise assets to get the interest thingy, I checked with the bank I use for my savings account and if I open a new account I get 4% there, so that's what I did :)

@David-Healey Thank :)

@David-Healey Thank you for doing this. It really helps me in my Hise Sampler quest!

@Christoph-Hart Ok so thanks (or not) to Claude I could implement it fully after fixing many bugs. Obviously, this certainly has some AI non sense and I would be interested in your insight 😉

But it works a treat in context!

Here's the PR: https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/pull/1055

And a more readable bug fix report than the MarkDown: https://gold-reggie-20.tiiny.site/

The problem with Kontakt was never really the software. It was the ecosystem (native access), NI's licensing, ads in the home screen, and the proprietary source code meaning developers had no control over the software.

Koda might solve some of those issues, but it seems to me that the main one - control - is why most of the big developers left Kontakt to create their own samplers, and Koda won't solve that. Others have tried, Gorilla engine, Decent Sampler, Falcon, etc. Developers want control and you either use an open system like HISE or you build your own proprietary system.

FOUN IT . thanks.

Nice... Congrats !👍
But how can we export looped samples ? Piano/ pluck sampling is very easy.
