Now that I've reverted to using the hr1 system I ran into this issue again.

I have a library that is going to be about 20GB compressed and when I send out an update to my users that changes only the data (hxi) I don't want them to have to redownload the entire 20GB all over again.

So I worked with Claude to implement a split archive solution.

The default behaviour is the current behaviour, bundle everything together into one set of hr files - works for expansions and regular plugins as before. I did change the default split size to 2GB as that seems to me to make sense.

Then there are two new options:

Split Data From Samples: This will put the data into its own .hr1 file with the suffix _data. The samples will then be bundled into .hr2, .hr3, etc. as needed. If the user only needs the data (because they installed the samples previously) then they just download and extract the .hr1. As it extracts it will still check for the next archive as before but will fail silently if its not there. However if one of the other archives is missing it will report an error as expected - I also improved the error message so instead of just saying Read Error, it tells the user which archive is missing. Data Only Update: This just compresses the data into an .hr1 archive and assumes the samples haven't changed and have already been compressed using the split option.

@dannytaurus said in Text rendering on Mac versus Windows:

I added a platform-specific scaling function to resize the fonts - interestingly scaling two fonts in opposite directions

That's what I do.

I also use Google fonts when I can because they tend to have fewer issues.

@ustk Seems like user account verification is the way to go - à la Moonbase.

Very, very not helpful to this thread, I know, but the machine ID issue is only going to get worse, it seems.

With the mod matrix system each connection can have a intensity and you should also be able to set it programmatically without the matrix floating tile using the API.

For targets that dont expose a mod chain you can just define a UI knob and give it a matrixTargetId. You‘ll loose the precision of the real mods but if it‘s acceptable then fine.

The modwheel could also be a global source modulator using a control modulator.

@bashfulsound It's a bug. I submitted a PR here but not sure if Christoph has seen it yet.

@David-Healey cool. thanks!

@Bart I get inspiration from everywhere, having said that I have a massive PureRef file with all kinds of designs.

@Christoph-Hart

The newly built HISE version creates a new RHAPSODY template

Which version of macOS and Xcode?

@justinfitzmusic

All a user preset does is store/restore the state of controls on the UI. So to get a sample map to change when a preset changes you need to script one of your UI controls to change the sample map when its value changes.

I have a video here that shows how to do it using a combo box - but you can use any control.

I did it with Claude in two days. Most of the time was actuallly spend on a bug in the Juce module though, that david helped to fix. In the end I have 3 files in the Hise Source that needed changing.

Its not a gracious proces though.

I need to export first so it creates the batch file and set all files up from hise but it will choke on the Juce module missing. Then switch to Juce 8 (trivial, I have a script to switch easily), add the module / flag in Juce and start the batch file again.

There is some other stuff to set up like an encoded file so the connection can be set up secure and some settings on the Hise side need to be hooked up if you want the screen to dim and audio to block, but you do this once per product in Moonbase.

Honestly it works for me, but looking forward to supported integration. Moonbase is a great platform.

@ustk
Ha ha :-D
I feel exactly the same way!

@David-Healey I ended up with this problem after following the video so I'll give the appstore method a try

@ustk Hmm.. I think I'll keep away from it for now. Don't need it for a while yet, thankfully.

@Yannrog Yes, loop over your list of sample maps and use if statements to place the sample map names into two new arrays.

Then use those arrays to populate your comboboxes.

Each heavyweight function (loading presets, samples, etc) gracefully fades out the audio, suspends the processing and then resumes audio processing. This is a core engine behaviour and you can't do anything about it. Changing this will create audio glitches, incontinuities and crashes.
