    • RE: The world of HISE

      @MikeB -- Lindon, Hull UK, Audio Developer, before that I worked in Telecommunications (real time and all that - not as complicated as it sounds) and before that I was a record producer....before that I was a starving/failing musician.

    • Legato/Glide/Portamento/whatever else you want to call it - in "Synth Style"

      So for those of us who have spent the required hard-yards in the sampling business we have a very specific idea of what "legato" means, and frankly this aint what "modern" synths behave like. Stiil we are often asked to recreate this "synth-based" glide portamento legato, what th ***k else you want to call it...thing. And in my experience its a royal PITA to do....

      Essentially notes glide between any currently held note on play or release as long as something is held down...and if a truck load of notes are held then they glide in played order....(where truck load == 2+)

      HISE is not best set up for this sort of thing - or so I thought.

      So after about 6 goes at this and also after the realisation that I really really need a holiday. I think I have it (or a close approximation of it). As I wouldn't want anyone else to have to go through the outrageous process I went thru to get here I decided to release it. So here it is - again MIT licensed so all yours to use...

      Frankly I never want to have to do this again......so please dont ask for amendments, you will have to make them yourself, and if you find a bug - again you will have to fix it yourself - please post your resulting code here.

      Meanwhile I'm off to Italy see you in a month, well from next week anyway...

    • LED - with peak line - and red warnings...vector version.

      So I've seen a few posts here asking how to "do" an LED-style control, and there's been a few answers - all of which seemed to require adding in a png for the LED itself.

      So as I needed (or wanted) one of these that used vector drawing, and one that had some level of "red-line" warning as well as momentary peak measurement too I coded one up. You might want to use it - or adapt it to your needs.

      So caveat no.1 : as @ustk has said elsewhere - this is not really a gain meter - its approximates one as it uses 100 milliseconds between each measure - so it may miss some peaks. But in any case:

      			"downloadFileDestination" : "ProductNameData12.cra",
      			"downloadFileContents" : "Preset Files",
      			"installDestination" : destinations.PRESETS_LOCATION,
      			"status" : destinations.UNSTARTED
      		}
      
      	]
      
      
      };
      

      So on start up the plugin looks for a manifest file in the AppData folder, and when it doesnt find it - then it knows that there is a set up to do....so it uses this internally included version (above) of this file to do the set up...

      It should be pretty obvious, what is happening. There are a bunch of file URLs that point to stuff that needs to be downloaded, so first the plugin installer asks where the user wants to put these temp download files...and it checks there's enough room in the user specified location...

      If there is enough room it iterates over the steps downloading these files ( I usually limit the file sizes to about 500MB), as each is done it updates the step status to "downloaded"...

      When everything has been downloaded it checks to see if there is any sample data in the manifest, if there is it asks the user where they want to keep their sample data on a permanent basis...it checks there is enough space in the users requested location.

      If there is it creates a "Link File" and begins the unarchiving process for each step putting the contents of each downloaded file in its final location and updating the manifest on disk as it does so with the status "installed"....

      When its done it offers the user the opportunity to delete those temp download files and tells the user to restart the plugin...

      The plugin restarts, finds the Manifest file, checks its all been completed("installed") successfully and if it has it starts to run like a normal plugin....

      The system includes an off-line setup process too - but the number of users who have opted for this as tiny tiny tiny...

      It took very little effort to enhance this to allow the plugin to download and install expansions too...essentially this will download and set up for you: samples, their link file, meta data, wav files, graphics, basically anything you can zip up and know the location you want to use...

      With this approach the only thing the "classic" installer (like whitebox etc.) has to do is put the VST3 and AU files wherever you want them...

      This whole sub system is actually available to license from me if you wish...

    • RE: Agentic coding workflows

      @iamlamprey said in Agentic coding workflows:

      "Use this bestPractices.md to familiarize yourself with the HISE codebase, remember to make use of the existing templated functions in the auto-generated files and only use JUCE methods as a fallback" etc etc

      this.

      Perhaps it might be worth thinking about how this is integrated in to the agents approach for every prompt it gets issued, a little like the MCP server interaction above...

      Big warning: Im even more of a noob at this stuff than I think anyone here - I havent used AI for any coding work - so watch out I may be talking bullsh*t

    • RE: Mac installer for audio sample libraries best practices?

      @Casey-Kolb said in Mac installer for audio sample libraries best practices?:

      @David-Healey It was so finicky we ended up just installing them to a default location on the hard drive. If the user wants to move them, they just move them to an external drive and relocate them in CUBE.

      shudder.... this is exactly why we went with an in-plugin set up for samples, meta data, presets and images etc.

      So the "installer" only has to actually install the plugin itself...

      @MZLY look at this documentation:

      https://docs.hise.dev/scripting/scripting-api/scriptpanel/index.html#setloadingcallback

      you will see its not a Synth function, its a panel function.

      Were you able to resolve this issue in Pro Tools? Which AAX SDK are you using?

    • RE: Third party HISE developers

      @David-Healey well really you already know all this but in order to get on the list.....

      I do this - pretty much for a living, I've done a fair few Kontakt Developer ports but also a truck load of other things like novel and different UI based stuff, Multi FX, loopers, really the list goes on...assume I've done one of nearly everything, and I also do a side hustle in t-shirts (no really ..not)
