mhhh... :-/ maybe i'm too naive regarding these coding subjects. i thought that it might only be an question of implementing standard streams somehow. ;-)
i had some success writing a shell script, which calculates aubio-onset-timestamps and filepath of a selected file and saves these into a JSON file, which can be loaded by pressing a button in my hise instrument interface. then i was able to map the corresponding loop ranges to single midi-notes.

but nevertheless, i now found out, that the loop ranges don't work in polyphonic mode, so you can't play 2 different ranges at once. :-/ this is somehow quite unsatisfying, so it seems, that i have to discard my idea of building a loop slicer in hise for the moment.

@Christoph-Hart Great! Thanks

You can also use .contains even though that's not in the docs for strings @Christoph-Hart ?

Console.print(sampleMaps.contains("sampleMap2"));

This is helpful for a partial search, for example if you wanted to get all of the samplemaps with the word drum you could do .contains("drum") even if the name contains other words too.

it would also be possible to load loops via

AudioSampleProcessor.setFile(String fileName)

but then i needed a kind of file browser / open panel for selcting a file and getting it's filepath.

referring to this old thread, a file browser once existed - what happend to it? i cannot find something like this within HISE. any ideas?

@d-healey sorry, I was to anxious, I'm watching now!

@d-healey said in Creating sample based instruments using Pianobook?:

I doubt it, unless he gets a proprietary HISE license, otherwise anyone would then be free to redistribute Spitfire's samples.

The samples don't have to inherit the GPL license, as long as they are publicly available, I don't care (and the JUCE guys also won't sue you).

Just ask the Spitfire guys if they are OK with it, then put your instrument project on GitHub, add a link to Spitfires Download site and done.

How many loops will be loaded at one time?

@Lindon Spot on mate. Fixed. Thank you 😀

Export as 64bit

@Lindon I don't know much about Macs, the one I have is a dual core from 2012 I think, it was gifted to me earlier this year. The only thing I've done with it is partition the HDD and install Windows 10 and Linux Mint.

@ustk
oh man, you made my day! :-) this was indeed pretty simple, but i would have spend hours or maybe days, to find out, that you only can use these container parameters. thank you very much! :-)

@Christoph-Hart Glad it was an easy fix boy 👌

@d-healey
uhh? as far as i know, they are... i only have onboard graphics, which don't need proprietary drivers. there should everything be fine, i'd guess.

@Lindon OK well that sorta fixed it I think. Which is a bit of a relief as a whole truck load of CR and AudioReward instruments use "granular like" multiples-of-the-same-note-playing techniques...

@d-healey
Thank you, yeah, I saw yours already (only skipped through mainly). Also trying to look through some sources to see how and where.

Thanks again for the quick responses!

@toxonic It depends on what you're requirements are. If you only need to control one parameter then the interface designer is the way to go.
