@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:

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

one more vote for x axis on the shadows....

@David-Healey yep that was it.... yet another drink I owe you, thanks mate...

..we need a t-shirt that says "I owe Dave Healey a drink..."

I removed aax-sdk-2-8-0 and replaced it with aax-sdk-2-6-1. built it and got exactly yhe same result ....

HELP!

@Lindon I have this in XCode:

@David-Healey how?

Ok so I downloaded the latest HISE, installed it and built a VST3..all fine - I think

I downloaded aax-sdk-2-8-0 again, unpacked it changed its name to AAX and built the MacOS project - all works fine,

Started HISE loaded my project (again) and tried to build an AAX plugin, and I get this again:

Im pretty sure its something to do with this:

found architecture 'arm64', required architecture 'x86_64'

Im on an M1 arm-based Mac, but I dont know what to do about it...ANYONE????

@ustk ok here is what I did:

• downloaded aax-sdk-2-6-1.zip
• unzipped it and got aax-sdk-2-6-1 folder
• copied this folder to HISE/tools/SDK/
• opened SDK/aax-sdk-2-6-1/Libs/AAXLibrary/MacBuild/AAXLibrary.xcodeproj in xcode
• ran Product>Build For/Profiling. xcode tells me this was a success...
• renamed aax-sdk-2-6-1. to AAX in the HISE/SDK folder
• opened my project in HISE
• ran Export>Export As Instrument and selected AAX as my target....

got this in the console window:

so its something about this:

found architecture 'arm64', required architecture 'x86_64'.

for some reason its not set up to build properly on my M1 mac...

@Lindon yep its def the AAX config. VST3 builds fine and other projects build fine for VST3 but fail with the above for AAX, so Im doing something wrong here.....

@Lindon ok so I went away and rebuilt HISe....

and tried again: now Im getting this;
