@Russellbharris1 Have you added two floatingTile set to MidiSourcesand MidiChannelList so you can access, well, to MIDI sources and channels?

@WeLoveGoodHouse hit the search. There is a thread that handles the flock issue

@ustk This is great, thank you.

Nice! I'll research that, thanks! :-)

@MacroMachines Strange... On mac, you can check in Application Support/HISE/compilerSettings.xml if the path is set.

Think I've got it....
Just discovered event.rightClick

@d-healey I'm definitively interested. Let me get used to audio coding first. (I'm a java developer originally)

yes, forgott about that... :)

@ustk yup, time to go callback all the way. Actually feels more familiar coming from Kontakt :)

@yall I just understood exactly the "problem".
when i create a sample map and then put in monolith, the sample map from hise will look for the audio samples in a folder on my pc.
I just changed the folder name of my audio samples and suddenly my compiled vst loads a blank sample map.
it was really a stupid thing

Doh, well it was a simple as setting the Index to zero.

"ProcessorId": "MIDI Player1", "Index": 0

Now the final piece to the Midi Player puzzle for me today is...
How oh how do we setup the UI so a user can drag midi files from the player into their DAW?

thanks @d-healey

@Sketch Yes - https://docs.hise.audio/ui-components/floating-tiles/plugin/keyboard.html

What version of XCode?

@d-healey thanks a lot

Could you make 2 versions of the plugin? Like plugin(aux) and plugin(insert)
Or maybe just make a button on the interface to set the functionality

Same as the guys said, hence the panel solution:
First, place these 2 images in your "/Images" folder => images.zip

Of course, you can use filmstrips for knob/meter design...

@Eskano

Can you legally release vst2 plugins for free without a license from Steinberg?

I'm not 100% sure of the rules. Christoph has a license for VST2 so I think you're okay as long as you're not redistributing the SDK but I could be wrong.

If you're making a non-proprietary plugin then there is also the option of using the GNU GPL licensed alternative - https://git.iem.at/zmoelnig/FST

I think the answer is "no". You will need to enter a company code in your plug-in setting/preferences in HISE - this is the code issued to you by Steinberg when you got your VST2 license.

VST2 does not have any sort of open source license, it's entirely proprietary, to issue (sell, give away, distribute) a VST2 plugin you need a license from Steinberg - or that was how I read the license agreement when I got it, but as I say it was a while ago now.

@Lindon If I remember correctly it's so you can delay events. So you could add a time in the future to play the note. You'd also need to add a corresponding delayed note off.

@MacroMachines Nothing new there ;)
