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.

@Lindon said in HISE Transformation to the new age:

try and get on the same commit - and clearly one near the front....if not the latest....

I'm on the master branch now... by which I mean yesterday I reset the master branch of my fork to track the latest changes in my development branch. It's about time we got back to the master I think.

I too need this one fixing and I wouldn't feel confident using AI to fix it because I don't fully understand the problem myself at the code level and therefore I wouldn't be able to evaluate if the AI's output is good or bad beyond "it seems to work".

With the PRs I made above I targetted relatively simple tasks that are not interwoven with multiple parts of the codebase.

@Lindon said in How to automate radio buttons as a single control?:

what's "OG"?

Old Goat

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7Z-xitTjQ2k

@lijas90 do they both have the same plugin id?

@Daanyoo build a standalone version to take the DAW out of the equation

@Daanyoo said in Remove Sample Install Dialog:

This is the right place to put the definitions, isn't it?

Yes, if you're on OSX

@Daanyoo Yes but I usually do it from within HISE. Export >> Clean Build directory

Ok I think I'm seeing the benefit - I get to be lazy :)

Relative include paths PR
Relative font paths PR
Custom Settings floating tile label alignment PR

On the HISE script side of things I'm not sure I would want to pass it over to AI since I enjoy scripting and I think I could write it more quickly myself than back and forth with an AI. However I find writing laf can be tedious so the Ralph technique with that would be useful to me. I'd also find it useful for DSP/ScriptNode/Faust work.

@Daanyoo For Rhapsody I just use HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1 and it's working. Did you clean your project's build folder before recompiling?

@dannytaurus said in How to automate radio buttons as a single control?:

The only way I can think of doing this is with a hidden slider, used for automation only,

That was my first thought too.

@dannytaurus said in Mac installer for audio sample libraries best practices?:

Why not the system Application Support folder? /Library/Application Support

You can if you enable the Global App Data Folder option in HISE preferences - although I find it causes weird issues for me. But I think the idea is in a multi-user setup different users will have different presets and preferences so those settings are per-user.
