Btw, I just compiled and tested the VST. I ran a very simple test in Bitwig with one instance of the HISE plugin set up for the wavetable synthesizer with the Simple Reverb and the default EG (adjusted for slower attack and release times). I'm looping a MIDI track through it, sound is clean and clear. On to try a more complicated instrument.

Edit: Tested the sampler, works fine.

Also btw: Very nice work !!

@d-healey Right, that .so suffix indicates a Linux shared object file, i.e. the plugin in native Linux VST format. Reaper under Wine expects VST plugins in Windows DLL format, so you'll need to test your new plugin in Bitwig, Ardour, Qtractor, Tracktion, etc.

Hi Christoph, I've built and run the standalone and plugin for Linux. System here is Fedora 21 x86_64, with extensions from Planet CCRMA. I'm trying to export the preset example from http://hise.audio/manual/Manual.php but I'm obviously missing something. I receive this error when trying the Export As Instrument Plugin :

"You have to add at least one script processor and call Synth.addToFront(true)."

What have I missed ?

Edit: Ah, never mind, I've found the fuller tutorials on github, I'll go through them first.

Best regards,

I was happy to read of the update, and I've successfully built HISE 1.5.0 on Fedora 23 (Linux). Alas, the tutorial example is giving me fits and I need some help/advice. In Tutorial 3 I'm bombing out after adding the given code to the onNoteOn callback, the compiler returns this error:
Line 1, column 31: Call of getControllerNumber() outside of getController callback {U2NyaXB0IFByb2Nlc3Nvcnx8MzB8MXwzMQ==}

Any suggestions ? I've been careful to follow every step but of course I may have missed something.

Also, is this the right place to post build errors/problems ?

Hi Christoph,

I loaded and played the PatchArena Marimba SFZ on the HISE sampler. I'll try a few more SFZ files today.

Hi Christoph, Am I correct assuming that the Export function still doesn't work for Linux ? IIRC you mentioned that that process is handled by a shell script. If so, where is that script ? I can try to debug it for Linux.

The export process fails with this error :

[dlphilp@The6300 build]$ ./HISE\ Standalone
Creating /home/dlphilp/HISE-MusicBox/Binaries/Source/PresetData.h and /home/dlphilp/HISE-MusicBox/Binaries/Source/PresetData.cpp from files in /home/dlphilp/HISE-MusicBox/Binaries/temp...

Adding images: 10 bytes

Total size of binary data: 10624 bytes
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

What's happening there ? I see a batchCompileOSX file in my project Binaries directory, it's set up for Xcode, not Linux. I presume a similar file is needed for successful export to a native Linux VST/VSTi plugin.

Okay, thanks Christoph. I got even a little further but wound up with this message :

Export Error

Compilation error

The CLI reported this :

I've got a bit further with exporting a native Linux VSTi from the standalone. I'm failing now with this error :

Export Error

HISE image directory not found

Any suggestions ?

Yes, you can compile native Linux VST/VSTi plugins. Rory Walsh's Cabbage environment might be worth a look for you, it's a JUCE-based DAW and environment for audio/MIDI development. It's powered by Csound, works with JACK and ALSA, and exports plugins in VST and LV2 formats. http://cabbageaudio.com/

Doesn't JUCE take care of all the details ? IIRC I only need to specify the path to the VST SDK and I'm ready to roll, same as the Win/Mac builds.

Ah, thanks, Christoph, I was starting to think I'd lost my wits. Yes, audio is smooth with JACK, and no, you're not likely to get any decent performance from JACK through a VM. :)
