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.

@ulrik Could you create a version that demonstrates the problem without relying on a folder/file structure, instead just use an array or object?

I can't find any fault with it:

@ulrik Yes, for example on this level temp/brass/euphonium/

@ulrik temp/brass/trumpet/piccoloTrumpet/

@ulrik I'm not seeing an issue, the code looks a little cumbersome though. I'll shuffle some stuff around and let me know if that improves the behaviour for you.

@GUJIAN The errors about component missing will always happen on the first compile because the components don't exist at that point. On the second compile the errors should go away.

Also Rhapsodist isn't "fixed" yet, so expect breaking changes. Once I've stabilised it I'll make some documentation.

@ulrik said in Custom IR Samples within the combo box:

is it possible to get this fixed in the source code?

Got a minimal example?

@GUJIAN Are you using the master branch?

@dannytaurus said in Shadow parser false positives:

What am I missing out on here?

You're missing out on an annoying buggy feature :)

Right-click in the script editor to toggle "Enable Live Diagnostics" - but it's on by default so you've turned it off at some point previously which was the right decision :p

I'm still not using this feature because I find it's too buggy, but someone else brought another false positive to my attention so thought it might be a good idea to collect them here so Christoph can play wack-a-mole

@resonant What's customIRFiles for?
