@dannytaurus Yes I had tried those but to no avail...but seeing your example working made me look back at the project and there was a conflict which is why it wasn't changing anything visually, Thanks for your help it is much appreciated and shows me that I am not going mad at least haha

@David-Healey I finally managed to get a successful VST3 export! "BUILD SUCCEEDED" in the terminal.

What fixed the SDK error: The issue was indeed the VST3 SDK path. I had to point it exactly to the folder containing the base, public.sdk, and pluginterfaces directories. After correcting this in the Projucer Global Paths, the "SDK missing" error disappeared.

@David-Healey said in this one looks interesting:

built lots of little projects

100% this! That's what I did over the last year or so.

Folks who jump straight in with a large project are asking for trouble. Even if they're seasoned in other languages or environments. For example, I'm well-versed in building web applications in Ruby On Rails but I wouldn't jump straight over to ASP.NET and try to build a massive project right off the bat.

The ideas for the first 4 HISE plugins I'm developing all came from a very simple concept for each one - focus on one single sound type. The first one is sub bass. Even keeping it simple like this has it's challenges.

@GUJIAN Choose the Export as Instrument option from the Export menu.

Is there a way to draw a custom point shape, instead of the squares ?? I've managed to do it for the curve points, but the squares remain.

example would be the pad on the Portal plugin with the dots following your cursor. Animations that react to your movements

So. For everyone who is curious.
I searched a bit online and plugins not showing up in the logic list seems to be a specific logic bug with unknown reason.
(seems to have also happened to some people with big brand plugins like native instruments)

The solution that seems to work for most people (including myself) is deleting (if they exist, doesn't need to be all of them):

@thewardrums unfortunately it's not as simple as pasting a code fix and expecting it to work. You would really need to customize your HISE setup for this. I followed this tutorial in order to understand how sidechaining works in JUCE then tried some things in the HISE source code to get it up and running.
