Is there no way to access data from the extension's host?
Yes. Once you've loaded a full instrument expansion, it will "forget" that it's an expansion an acts like a "native" HISE project with the only addition of being able to unload itself.
@d-healey This seems pretty clear cut, thanks for sharing.
This is totally off topic, but I recently had someone compliment "my" filters (scriptnode SVF), since I had nothing to do with it thought I'd pass it on. They loved the resonance and compared it to the Make noise QPAS. High praise imo.
As @trillbilly says, a preset in HISE only saves/restores the state of controls on the UI. So if you are using a UI control to load IRs and that UI control is set to saveInPreset then everything will work how you want.
I posted a video on Patreon on Saturday showing how to load IRs into the convolution reverb effect using a combo box.
@Christoph-Hart This keeps happening, all of a sudden it says that the node is not compiled and yet it is.
Previously I seemed to have fixed this with changing the path but the path is now correct and yet it still happens.
What am I doing wrong here , is this a bug or normal and I am just missing why this happens ?
EDIT: this time it works to rebuild it , I wonder why it reports as not compiled though ?
