@ustk Can you recreate the issue with a minimal project?

@l8prod said in instrument plugin no sound:

@David-Healey yes. whn i go to 'create monolith from samples and samplemaps,' a popup shows saying it was succcessful

When you installed the samples, was the link file created in app data?

If you're unsure what I'm referring to you might find my free HISE bootcamp course helpful https://audiodevschool.com/hise-bootcamp/

@dannycouture Have you compiled HISE from source?

@Christoph-Hart Sounds good to me

So I went back to March 6th. And I got quite a bit further with the build. But then it stalled at:

include_hi_core.cpp HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(333,4): error C2872: 'Rectangle': ambiguous symbol [MyProject_SharedCode.vcxproj] (compiling source file '../../../AdditionalSourceCode/nodes/factory.cpp') C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.26100.0\um\wingdi.h(4639,24): could be 'BOOL Rectangle(HDC,int,int,int,int)' HISE\JUCE\modules\juce_graphics\geometry\juce_Rectangle.h(66,7): or 'juce::Rectangle' HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(333,4): the template instantiation context (the oldest one first) is HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(365,95): see reference to function template instantiation 'juce::Rectangle<float> hise::simple_css::Positioner::slice<hise::simple_css::Positioner::Direction::Top>(const juce::Array<hise::simple_css::Selector,juce::DummyCriticalSection,0> &,float)' being compiled HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(333,14): error C2062: type 'float' unexpected [MyProject_SharedCode.vcxproj] (compiling source file '../../../AdditionalSourceCode/nodes/factory.cpp') HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(336,33): error C2065: 'copy': undeclared identifier [MyProject_SharedCode.vcxproj] (compiling source file '../../../AdditionalSourceCode/nodes/factory.cpp') HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(336,16): error C2530: 'toUse': references must be initialized [MyProject_SharedCode.vcxproj] (compiling source file '../../../AdditionalSourceCode/nodes/factory.cpp') HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(337,37): error C3536: 'toUse': cannot be used before it is initialized [MyProject_SharedCode.vcxproj] (compiling source file '../../../AdditionalSourceCode/nodes/factory.cpp') HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(346,25): error C2672: 'hise::simple_css::Positioner::RemoveHelpers::slice': no matching overloaded function found [MyProject_SharedCode.vcxproj] (compiling source file '../../../AdditionalSourceCode/nodes/factory.cpp') HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(306,50): could be 'juce::Rectangle<float> hise::simple_css::Positioner::RemoveHelpers::slice(juce::Rectangle<float> &,float)' HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(346,25): Failed to specialize function template 'juce::Rectangle<float> hise::simple_css::Positioner::RemoveHelpers::slice(juce::Rectangle<float> &,float)' HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(346,25): With the following template arguments: HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(346,25): 'D=hise::simple_css::Positioner::Direction::Top' HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(306,33): 'Rectangle': ambiguous symbol HISE\hi_tools\simple_css\Renderer.h(306,42): syntax error: missing ';' before '<'

This was with: 0567740 - - fixed compilation on macOS!

Confirmed locally and as part of CI build; which I have switched from VS2022 to VS2026.

It seems like it is using Rectangle but without specifying whether it's a juce:: or whether it's from the Windows SDK.

@Christoph-Hart

I think the fix is to directly specify juce::Rectangle in /hi_tools/simple_css/Renderer.h:

- Rectangle<float> copy = totalArea; + juce::Rectangle<float> copy = totalArea;

@David-Healey Yes I've actually fixed that already on my local state. The metadata switched the default value parameter range from 0...127 to 0...1.

@David-Healey Absolutely
Here's how I found the code singing setting :

In xcode click onto the project (blue icon)

then go into Build Settings

search for "code sign" in the search bar (top right)

click on the option for code signing identity

-select other

delete the dash and press enter
And that should do the trick !

@blush I updated HISE after that thread and I had the same problem, previously it was like in the topic, now it’s been reversed.

Getting the latest fix on GitHub solved this. Check out if your filters on Mac are working, if not - you may need an update that dropped like two weeks ago or so.

@ericknido Hi, I recommend you go through the free bootcamp course if you haven't already: https://audiodevschool.com/courses/hise-bootcamp/

@jadg said in Exported plugin don´t show midilearn popup in daw,this is normal?:

vst Fx plugin

Most hosts don't send MIDI to audio effect plugins by default - some might not at all.

@David-Healey He's right it worked

@Alexandar-mller said in Pan and width Issue:

Yes, but I have way too many samples and too little time for the extra work.

ChatGPT can give you an ffmpeg or sox script that will split all the samples in seconds. A little extra work now could save you a ton of time.

@David-Healey

If you want to use Juce8 what I do is I build Hise on Juce6, export the plugin, change Juce modules with a simple batch file and recompile with the batch file that Hise created. Then change back.

Def not ideal, but it's a working workflow when you need Juce8.

It turns out it was a frame processing issue in the wrapper.
