The AudioDevSchool site that I've been putting together for the last few months is finally ready!

For the initial launch I'm starting with a single course that I'm calling The HISE Bootcamp.

The course is 100% free and is designed for beginners, although there's probably stuff in there that more experienced users will also find useful.

The videos walk you through the process of building two simple plugins with HISE (a sample library and a scriptnode effect). We then move on to building HISE from source and compiling our projects.

Along the way we'll cover a bunch of subjects from basic things like finding your way around the HISE UI to more advanced concepts like Ad-Hoc codesigning for testing your plugins on MacOS.

Here's the link to the course: HISE Bootcamp.

Feel free to share it with anyone you think would find it useful.

Please let me know if you run into any issues with the website or any of the course material - there's usually something that goes wrong on launch day!

I'm currently building an app which I hope will allow batch exporting of HISE projects, auto notarization on Mac, and auto-generating installers. So far I have the basics working on GNUx. I need to finish the interface and add the batch handling, but that shouldn't be too difficult, then I'll tackle the other platforms.

This app should make it much easier for everyone (and especially beginners) to export their projects from HISE and build installers.

This is what it looks like so far (it's an ugly work in progress).

@MikeB

Dave, 34, UK, doer of many things.

It's becoming hard to find VS2017, I can no longer see the community edition at Microsoft's website, only a pro version trial.

@Christoph-Hart Is it possible to bring HISE into the new decade and add a VS 2022 export option?

I know we can already use VS 2022 with a bit of fiddling around, but it's not straightforward and requires additional steps for every export.

With HISE reaching its 10th birthday recently I thought it was a good time to look at some of the commercial plugins that have been built with it.

I've put together a little blog post and video featuring some of the plugins that have stood out to me. See if you recognise any of them.

An implementation of tic-tac-toe. I've included lots of comments to explain what the code is doing and why, but if something isn't clear just ask.

By default it uses a traditional 3x3 grid and you can use the knob on the GUI to increase this.

The game features 3 modes. 2 Player, 1 Player Easy, 1 Player Hard.

In easy mode the computer move just fills a random space. In hard mode the computer will attempt to take a winning move or block the human player from winning. If there are no winning moves then it will fall back to the easy mode.

Improvements that could be made are:

• The ability to choose which player goes first. Currently it's always the human.
• A higher difficulty mode where the computer will test all possible moves for both players and choose the most optimal move for their turn. If you fancy trying to implement this, lookup the minmax algorithm.

Enjoy

It's starting to look a little nicer now.

Just wanted to share something I'm working on. It was briefly discussed last month here.

It's a grid based layout system, inspired by html and other layout languages. The idea is you define your components once in a JSON type format, pass it to the layout engine, and it will do the rest. It can layout components in a vertical or horizontal stack, or use a flexible grid.

If no dimensions are passed components will stretch to fill the available space. Dimensions can be passed either as numbers or percentages relative to the parent/column/row.

By default components are centred horizontally and vertically within each grid cell but you can specify their alignment (top/bottom/left/right). For stacks components butt against each other, I have plans to add some alignment options here as well though as well as margins/gutters.

If you want to add multiple controls you can define one control and specify a number of clones, and they will be created and positioned automatically.

I think it will make it easier for me to transfer layouts between projects as well as quickly build complex projects. I have a lot more functionality planned.

A couple of years ago I proposed making a general purpose downloader/installer app. In the time since I've created a downloader/installer for my own libraries and it works really well. I thought I'd see about adapting it to be an option for more developers.

I'm currently prototyping some things but before I get too deep with it I want to know if any of you would actually use it.

Unlike other similar apps (Pulse, Conduct, etc) what I'm creating is decentralized. Your customers will log into the app using the account they have on your website and downloads will be served from your servers. The app will of course be free software.

The app is more limited in scope than those other options. I don't intend to include an integrated shop and I don't plan support for non-HISE formats - but who knows what the future will bring.

The benefits for you is it's very cheap (you don't need to pay a middle-man), you don't have to develop your own downloader, new customers will discover your products when exploring other plugins available through the app, it's HISE focused and will support expansions and additional presets, etc..

The app supports serial keys to limit access to downloads. It does not (and cannot) provide any DRM but you can include this in your plugins if you wish.

It can integrate with any website, you just need to setup some endpoints and make sure they return the correct data. If you're using a Wordpress/WooCommerce site I can (for a fee) supply you with a Wordpress plugin that will integrate seamlessly with the app - this is the plugin I'm using on my own site.

So is this something any of you would use? If so I'll continue developing, if not then I won't bother, I don't want to be the only one using it :)

Here's a preview of where I'm at with it.

@ScreamingWaves said in Module tree navigation tips:

does that mean that one can have multiple master chains?

There can be only one. But you can use containers to separate different flows. There's also send effects which occupy a separate chain.

@ScreamingWaves said in Module tree navigation tips:

for every output channel i have several effects, i would like to hide only those, but it hides everything instead.

The solution you suggested would affect everyone. I don't use a lot of effects but I do use a lot of midi processors so how about we hide/show midi processors instead

I think what would be better is a button for collapsing each chain.

@ScreamingWaves said in Module tree navigation tips:

i think the master chain should hide only its effects

Why the effects chain and not other chains?

@Bonteburg I think the oldest officially supported version of OSX is 10.7

I'm guessing this is just for your own use, so why not use one of the many sampler plugins that already exist? Or use SFZ instead?

@MicheleBonventre What's different between the test plugin and the original project?

Also you might try with PluginVal to see if it gives any hints about the issue.

@Christoph-Hart Regarding templates I had another idea, what about using .hip files?

The user could load one, resave it as an xml and build it out. If I make changes to the template in the future it shouldn't affect their work and could safely overwrite the previous version when they install the update.

@MicheleBonventre said in VST3 Plugin not readable:

what do i have to remove from my original VST to make it work.

Start by adding your scriptnode network to your minimal project. Compile it, and see if it works. If it does then we know the network is not the problem.

@MicheleBonventre Try a minimal project and see if that works.

@MicheleBonventre Minimal test project means make a new project, add one effect to it, like a filter, and export it and see if it works. If it does then add a scriptnode effect to it, test and see if it works, build it up gradually to get as close to your actual project as possible, at some point it should stop working and that will tell you where the problem lies.

@MicheleBonventre said in VST3 Plugin not readable:

translated: HISE x64.dll is not made for usage with Windows or it contains an error. Try to reinstall yadda yadda yadda

I suspect this could be AVX related.

Which version of Windows are you using? Which CPU? Are you using the latest commit of HISE?

@Orvillain said in Change Look And Feel Dynamically:

Does this mean I need one big fat look and feel object, with effect-name aware branching??

Yes but I'd break it out into small individual functions, so the laf function holds the branches and picks the appropriate draw function based on the effect.
