To anyone who is interested:

I would like to make a plugin with some of you.
You may ask which kind of plugin it would be.
Well, it could be anything.

And it wouldn't be the best start point
if I would say what we could do.

But to show what I could do..

Short info about me:
+Sounddesign, Music Production, GUI Design, Concept Art, Prototyping
-Scripting, English grammar (Should be no problem for communication)

Hey guys! I came here to see if you are up to date.
I tried to use it to generate some code snippets that I could use to learn from and to make a simple or a bit more complex plugin. I still have to tweak the code to work correctly. But at least I did manage to get code that compiled without errors. It feels like a door opener for guys like me to learn coding. And I don't mean copy paste only :D The fact it gives you an explanation for what it did or what you can do is really nice. Will keep an eye on what you do with that.

@dabdab I think telepathy exists.
Thank you very much :) I'm not a christian but I wish you the same.
You are right..losing hope is not an option!

Hi, Hise community!

This is the first time I talk to you, because I found almost anything answered in this forum.
Now I've got some questions...
But I will keep it simple:

1. VSTi with an audio loop player and no sampler with embedded sounds
   but "library" folder for audiofiles and userpresets at user specified location?
   I would like to use my regular "library" folder on external SSD where all of my VST libraries are.

2. Seperate folder for convolution wav files?

3. Why no custom settings option to simply select a library path?
   A installer could predefine the library path. But users shouldn't need the installer for selecting it.
   (Maybe I know why there is no option. It just would be nice to have it there.)

4. Are those audiofiles and userpresets in appdata folders
   because they are streamed and temporary or something?

After saving a preset, it does remember the audiofiles - no matter where they are stored.
What a powerful function.

5. Should I be careful with making a VSTi where users can make their own libraries?
   Or is this more critical if they can share presets with no royalty free sounds, no recorded sounds etc?
   Am I responsible for this or can I say the users are responsible for what they are doing with the VSTi?

6. With right click on the loop player it opens the appdata folder.
   The audio waveform is titled {PROJECT_FOLDER}"title".wav
   I guess there must be a way for editing the location. Am I right?

(You might use only impulse responses and stuff as audiofiles.
Using embedded files is no option in this case.)

Maybe you can tell me how to achieve this?! ;)

@dabdab I'm an alberto :D Just kidding

@natan You say it sounds cheap to you. But what if I make pay-what-you-want software with a $ 1000+ button? :P

To me it is free promo. Just imagine someone does see a link to a pirated version and he goes to your site to buy it because of trust etc.
What do you think about donationware as solution? I think any digital product should be donationware but maybe it's not the best way.

@d-healey I am currently updating one of my plugins which is based on the audio player.
I basically have the same questions. But I have one addition:
The doubled tempo could be a nice option to have cause sometimes I find that effect quiet enjoyable x)

Maybe FL isn't perfect but I like its default sampler. And the stuff in Ableton live is also nice for sure. I think if some of us would bring the audio player somewhere to that level or higher, it would be a crazy tool to make insane single sample tools.
But sometimes it might be nice to have 3 samples or more, so the sampler idea isn't bad. Personally I don't use kontakt or decent sampler stuff that much if they don't have drag&drop for samples. FL Direct Wave for example lets you define keyzones etc which always was fun to play with. A built-in interface designer on top, dynamic fx + save inst button would be insane...

@orange I love wavetable synths. Never touched serum but vital.
Do you know tomofon by klevgrand? They have made their own format called "audio model".
I think it's a very interesting tech.

@clevername27 I will make a bass synth with the old project and took it off to put more work in it. So maybe in future but I think the new one will be better and more usable.

Hello guys!
Time to revive this project.. Sorry for the big delay but I'm not lost :)
Thanks for your great participation! I hope we can continue this journey.
I made some decisions and deleted the project links for now.
It was not a cool move to not involve you in the GUI process as I should.
So I think it's better to repeat and start from new.

This is round two and from here the project will be community driven.
Do you want to keep the current idea (synth) or should we vote
to look for a new idea? I say let's vote!

I just hopped into the forum after spotting the same article.
Sounds pretty interesting!

@lalalandsynth Oh I have heard of UDIM but also no experience.
Power of two can confuse. And it seems like there is no baking support,
so maybe an add-on is needed. Looks like I need that too!

@hisefilo To me that idea sounds like a mix of a live musician online service called musiversal and the new Satellite Sessions plugin (but better).
I like that!

@yall May I ask what you are trying to achieve? Live collab?

@lalalandsynth said in My plugins , Gui and 3d Work.:

I am trying to learn how to optimize .

I am not sure but I guess you are looking for something called texture atlas.
You can pack everything in one texture so you will have one material too.
But I can't speak for substance. Maybe you just have to make groups (knobs, tubes, etc.) and use one vertex color per group instead per object.
