I just got caught out by a related phenomenon

MIDI automation can trigger the callback of a knob but it won't trigger a panel repaint within the knob's callback. However using .changed() instead of repaint will.

Here's an example. Moving the knob with the mouse will repaint the panel, but if you use MIDI learn to assign a CC to the knob, moving the CC will change the knob value but it doesn't repaint the panel, swap out repaint for changed and it works fine.

@pasmae You can use this in a Save button of your own that overlays the original one.
For the preset Add case, though, I don't know…

@Natanr Shift-Command + . (dot) to see hidden files on Mac. I can't compile either last commit

Yes that was it. Would have never known. Thank you kind sir! 🤝

Using scriptnode branch.

@D-Williams23 Unfortunately not...

Go to the export menu and select Export as Instrument. I'm assuming you've already compiled HISE from source before and therefore have everything setup to export.

@Dular That'll do it every time

@Christoph-Hart said in Gain Reduction Meter:

Hmm, weird, once the timers are started, it should run.

@Christoph-Hart I have to dig this one up from the grave. I have 2 different virtual instruments using this code for GR meters and both are experiencing intermittent behavior.
The interesting thing is whatever causes this to happen seems to be "system wide". By that I mean: If I load instrument A and the meter isn't working, loading an instance of instrument B will also experience a non working meter.
Sometimes changing the GUI scale in the custom settings floating tile can knock it back into action, but most of the time I have to close/reopen my session to get meters working again.

These are using a slider with filmstrip.
I also tried using a panel instead of a slider. When the malfunction occurred, the meter flickered (what appeared to be the amount of images in the strip) and then disappeared.

Does any of this ring a bell for you?

Unfortunately, this is a HISE quirk. You can't add Envelopes in the global modulators section (there's a good reason for this), but you could add an envelope to the Pitch and Filter modules individually.

need help... 😐 🙄

@ustk I followed, the appdata Route but still didn’t see the exported midi files.

@Christoph-Hart @iamlamprey

Thanks fellas. I wanted to check before I made even more un necessary work for myself 🤣

I'll drop you a PM during the week then Christoph and we'll get the ball rolling. Thanks again!

Thanks so much guys :)

Did anyone ever find a way to do this? Finishing a huge plugin and while testing it out and realized I didn't know how to export the midi file from the vst, or where it goes.. ☹

@JulissaDantes I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing...
the getName() method is an API added to the API collection of Hise.
If you compile the latest commit of the develop branch from Dave's fork here: https://github.com/davidhealey/HISE/tree/develop
You'll get the Engine.getName() API available. (Engine.getVersion()has been fixed too)

@SteveRiggs said in Finalising plugins ready for release:

After 2 hours of downloading Xcode 10, the inevitable happens I'm a bit stuck now as I can't upgrade my OS at the moment. Any suggestions?

Genius mate. Why didn't I think of that lol 🤣

I'd love to, but with my Mac refusing to update and just black screening on restart getting stuck there making updating impossible... now I'm stuck on High Sierra 10.13.5 when I need 10.13.6 to run Xcode 10.

@Lindon Yes, something to keep in mind for sure. I won't introduce it at first, but it is something I will look into adding for future updates (along with a few other things I have in mind) if there is enough interest.

@D-Williams23 cool, glad to be of help!
