@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.

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...

@Lindon ....

Feature Request
@Christoph-Hart - Please can we have bus effects (send and receive) as per this discussion :

https://forum.hise.audio/topic/1983/feature-request-the-case-for-bus-containers

-- wow I just re-read the thread I pointed to - I've been a pita about this .....sorry.

So happy holidays to everyone who has them at this time of year.. Anther great year for HISE and this community, tho I did get too many t-shirts this year...

Feature Request

MIDI out.

......Ok that's me done for 2023, so wishing you and yours a safe and festive holiday season and a prosperous, healthy and happy 2024...

Thanks to all of you for making it a great community..... now where did I put that T-Shirt?

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:

I'm pretty sure the code could do with re-factoring so I'm always interested in a better version if you want to comment or contribute...

...sliding in late... happy holidays everyone...

Happy holidays everyone...have a fun safe time.

@shawntarget split the signal up in a script node and process it there..

@dannytaurus we have modified the requirement.

@dannytaurus said in Hise.Activate:

@Lindon I'm following your posts about this because I'm thinking of implementing something similar.

I thought one of your early requests was that a user can load content from multiple expansions at once, and that's not possible with Full Expansions, right? Or have I misunderstood?

you are correct you cannot load content from multiple Full Instrument expansions at once.

@Christoph-Hart said in Hise.Activate:

Actually nevermind just looked again you can unlock each expansion with a serial key. It‘s currently once per expansion but either you can add a input field where you can paste multiple serials for each expansion or we add a meta serial system that unlocks multiple expansions at once.

Ok my customer and I are voting for the meta serial please.
I suggest this might (best) work by activating one item in a library activates them all.

@Christoph-Hart OK well the use case is a free "player" and users can then buy(and activate) either a Library of Full Instrument Expansions, or single Full Instrument Expansion.

So they will offer Libraries of Instruments and Single instruments, and they'd like to activate either the library (so once for all instruments in the library) or the single instrument.

So users can buy the entire library, or if they dont want all instruments in a library, they may decide to buy a single instrument

@Christoph-Hart lol - thanks.

Whilst we are here, can I ask for a feature(if its not included). My customer plans on having several Collection/Library releases, so collections of "instruments"(Full Instrument Expansions here) and would like their end-customers to be able to activate all the instruments in a Library by activating the library just once.

@Christoph-Hart Great!, of course the customer want to know when that will be available? Even roughly....

@David-Healey great!

Ok on to the next round of questions:

(forgive me I havent built one yet as Im busy trying to build the player functionality)

What does FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData) return?

• The Players AppData folder?
• AppData/Expansions/ExpansionName ?
• something else?
• nothing?

OK so....

We have a player - that will be free - so not using any Authenticate services, but.....

We want to have Full Instrument expansions load into this player that do require HISE.activate...

So questions....

Can I use these services in that way?
Does the Full Instrument expansion contains the required HISE.activate code?
Can it save more than one authorisation file in the players AppData folder?
Will the Full Instrument Expansion even find it when it loads?
