I just pushed a major update!

26 New Presets!
We now have 'Factory Presets' and 'User Presets' drop down menus.

The 'Factory Presets' menu is populated by a github folder that I will be adding more knobs to as time goes on. Hopefully I can offer a good variety of knobs to start you off with some cool looks.

The 'User Preset' saves .json files of your knobs locally and recalls them on app launch.

Here's a short list of other updates:

Preset Library

Factory preset browser with live knob thumbnails
Personal user preset library — save, browse and load your own designs
One-click preset loading

SVG Icon Integration

Drop any SVG file directly onto the knob — auto-converts to HISE instantly
No manual copy-pasting of path arrays

Load factory themes from the cloud
Save and share your own themes

@observantsound said in Roadmap to HISE 5:

There's documentation about the modulation matrix on the website and a tutorial snippet, but it doesn't work,

Got a link?

@dannytaurus That is a massive, massive bummer. I hadn't seen that. Guess I'm going down a rabbit hole trying to get the graphics portions working again, I 'just' need GLSL shaders working again, it worked fine in an older build of HISE so hopefully not too much to work out.

@lalalandsynth

Ah that makes sense,
yes indeed that was the only thing.

In that case, great work all round.
I'll keep you in mind for some upcoming projects.

@duma Try a different xcode version

@ustk Until July 7th anyway. Then I'll probably only use it for big tasks! 💰

@Christoph-Hart Looks like you deliberately chose to not expose the preset list to host. Can you remember why?

"Here be dragons" maybe? 😂

# hi_frontend/frontend/FrontEndProcessor.h int getNumPrograms() override { return 1;// presets.getNumChildren() + 1; } const String getProgramName(int /*index*/) override { return "Default"; } int getCurrentProgram() override { return 0; //return currentlyLoadedProgram; }

@David-Healey Makes sense 👍

@Oriah-Beats Enable one shot mode in the sampler's playback settings.

@dannytaurus That being said, it only matters in a parallel track mixing context (but nowadays it's still very frequent, we parallel this and that everywhere...), but you don't mind such a small latency for instruments...

@Jeetender You can use setLatencySamples() to report the latency amount to the host, so it can compensate.

https://docs.hise.dev/scripting/scripting-api/engine/index.html#setlatencysamples

However, I think the tool to measure the latency of your plugin is currently broken.

Tools > Check latency of signal chain

@David-Healey Dang. Shame they don't have a time-limited demo or something.

@HISEnberg Alright man, Thanks!!

@griffinboy 195?! Release the kraken! haha 🔥 🔥

@dannytaurus

I tried to load a 'duo-tone' svg with Base64SVG and this is the result?

Am I doing something wrong or not understanding something?

UPDATE: Plugin Storefronts now use Webview for smoother experience

Plugin Storefonts have been updated to use the same Webview model as the validation system. Now you can display your products directly in your plugin.

To implement is easy:

Firstly, you will need to make sure you have atleast 1 product created and live in your account.

Secondly, you will need to setup your Website/Storefront Credentials & Support Credentials.

Once that is complete, find the Plugin Storefront Package is in the TOOLS section of your Developer Account and open.
9a4ebe69-d9d3-4eec-9b32-ed1bab9c89ae-{C5EAF645-10E0-487B-8597-3318AED9F1DE}.png

Scroll Down and you will see the HISE Storefront Package Generator. Enter your GUI Height & Width and download the package. Unzip and place the SoundSyncStorfront folder in your HISE projects "Scripts" folder.
06a1c51d-4eb8-4738-93d3-b76533983580-{1C4EBE5B-FC47-4C2C-956E-D406727522D7}.png

Open your project and use 1 simple include line to generate the entire package in your project.

include("SoundSyncStorefront/Runtime/SoundSyncStorefrontRuntime.js");

Then your branded Plugin Storefront window will be present. It will pull your logo, brand colors, store name, products, support etc all from your Website/Storefront/Support pages in the developer account.

Public Catalog View:
3b917721-ae7a-4462-a2c6-d256e4f52aea-{40435235-D433-4C58-9122-03D3C9C356ED}.png

Customer Product View:
62118a87-c730-47c1-9ddc-7359f4dd31f3-{34AA5E77-0C2D-4A85-A12D-4575F4167AF5}.png

It makes for a pretty dope Storefront inside your plugin!

All the best,

Aaron
