@d-healey yep it is very straight forward finally...

const var focusPnl = Content.getComponent("focusPnl"); const var overlayPnl = Content.getComponent("overlayPnl"); overlayPnl.showControl(false); focusPnl.setPaintRoutine(function(g) { g.fillAll(Colours.black); g.setColour(Colours.antiquewhite); g.drawAlignedText(this.data.hasFocus ? "HAS FOCUS" : "NOT FOCUSED", this.getLocalBounds(0.0), "centred"); }); focusPnl.setKeyPressCallback(function(ev) { if (ev.isFocusChange) { this.data.hasFocus = ev.hasFocus; // in definitive we just need to toggle the overlay, since the focus loss is made internally... overlayPnl.showControl(ev.hasFocus); this.repaint(); } }); HiseSnippet 1012.3ocsV0taaaCEkxNJn1qYXEnO.D9Wx.YF1cccCannNwerYzlDipzh9uBZIJKhPQ5QR4Tug79s2g8Rr2fsKkrrjWb75LvDLLz8ii3gWcuGpoJY.UqkJjSiqWsfhbdrq+JgIdPLgIPSFhb9R2KHZCUgycc9pEDslFhbbp+SVGNMNBkc8mu5bBmHBnktPn2KYAz2vRXlRuS6+ZFmOlDRulkTI6m2eRfTLPxko.ep61EsfDbCYN8RhMsZtHmiGExLRkugXnZjyQmKCW4GKuUjm+6YZ1LN0ZzC4COnb2ik7PKisdQChY7voE6aMBdJSKqB0yqBO08BVHai+xpwWkE.WhnZ8vo11zq9Vzq2CQucPImJT5nbJ8DW+.EagoLhkOeg6DA7xIh.k8pTIOWTs+nl6.IjgvzIgbCcrBL1fv6Ec6dJF9q8O1rIT50F7RhBGICR0SEb7KwEXmSMCjIKjBvvqUQBs.bkvjKoJNY09.VlhEZoUGMTjrPTRtWDgqoVF0rXc5nolova.yakoFlf5EkJBLLovad6l+VyFy6DAMTmw4d4MO5Ny3PmC7LfPZKCrd2DjHLreIkdaLyPyyITQt8LNatfFdM8SFOSLS2IjXHchI5wVVfeEt0OelOd7UCdmeK7Ofac4UWmaMZXqSwYHfM6ajAD94xTQn1qamtsOE2J.15JZncGe281VultZpBdcNfv4y.NWt0nKy1arHLbaGVNMfFQwbZ6lMfHM1AKeIFxsvB1ZMfeOPYtRhsWmY1CTQWXK0dVm2YYbAivRwkRC8JgWFwZdWS7+LTTzNisdI4T0NCaUAT6CnmHMYFUcJzlwSoaRDFM1dd63Ou4sf7dyJIJESDLyUKnqs2ufAZcyMb26lLDp+1A109f7VPUFlkNNCoKA0u7w2FtCo5aLxEfP1lIBfxlrnmTLbSDTNhAKcS2h1DzmJkHY8Wswnur+srPSLxw042A6XJadrwZEhxH4lE4jGZQdraYyQ0kAgVU0Xyx7gZUWFq0r4E50MNtHcXrJYedeVU2FXd69IOSpBoJe1ut0gI4deKIjkpq5eYw6Ym5n6KbBR1xvTNwrsNt8vq0AflssDOsBjBMyrp5ga+GD26tWw8OWJ9D2oLSP7t4XscvQnM7+CNt9HwSbGEEQCLkD7H2we3PO+6eY4yE5meAwnXPeo6koI9PKR.0J.BcuZa+WMaWdtcWqssB3SEgYF+EbsNXOqsy5f8JBhRHAJ4GCxkXrG59nLO.mDYeuQC3Ce.abOTlrCfyETzQIv4+eLHvt8+ZPcX2Xd1Af4aN.LO+.v7sG.lWb.X9tC.y2uWL1O85rTiLIeb.bLcTl9qiyHAA5rx5BQ+Mpcs8rA

So as soon as you click the overlay panel, any other panel will lose the focus...
You just have to toggle the overlay and bam!
If you don't want the focus to be lost when clicking the keypress panel, just use 4 overlay panels that you dynamically place around it instead of using only one that covers the whole interface...

@ulrik Cool - I'd be interested some time to see what you've been up to with HISE - you seem to put a lot of work in.

Wow, this works like a charm! Thank you very much!
This way, it is even easier to set the right spread amount across the mapping range. I helped myself a little by printing it to console, since you wrote it has to return values between 0 and 1.

function onVoiceStart(voiceIndex) { local normPos = (Message.getNoteNumber() - 45) / 45; normPos *= spreadKnob.getValue(); local newNormPos=(normPos) * 3.21; // dev state only: Console.print(newNormPos); return newNormPos; }

The noteNumber 45 is my lowest mapped key here, but I don't know how I came to end up with this modified formula omitting the +1. But not to complain – it works. 😀

@Christoph-Hart Thank you for your reply. Please know that I don't feel you have an obligation to "fix" anything—you have published at the source code. If I really don't like something, I can fix it. I likewise feel that you're probably well-aware of everything that needs to be done, and having someone document it excruciating detail may not be helpful as I think. 😃 But as I've been encouraged, I will do so.

@d-healey Haha, yes you're right of course, you can even hear it in it's name... :)

@DanH Superb... Thanks buddy.. That's what I was looking for.

@Christoph-Hart Sweet , thanks !

@orange yup, that was it, thank you!

@Christoph-Hart understood, thought i would put the suggestions out there.
Isnt the c++ code in an external tile disabled when the ui is not visible , seem to recollect we had that problem. Or do you have in mind that its just a ui object that then runs the underlying default table?

@Christoph-Hart Any way to do this yet without resorting to global variables?

Alright, I've added the feature using the first option as this is most convenient for the standard use case.

I've also thought a bit about the option of purging only a subset of the samples and I added a function Sampler.purgeSelection() which you can give an array of sounds and it will purge only those (while unpurging all other sounds).

// I'm pretty sure nobody knows that funky function... var list = Sampler.createSelectionWithFilter(function() { // it will be called with every sound as `this` object and you just // need to return true if you want it to be included in the list... return this.get(Sampler.HiKey) > 72; }); Console.print(list.length); // now you can purge every sample that is mapped above note number 72 Sampler.purgeSampleSelection(list);

I'm curious how it will hold up in a real world use case, but the only problem I can see so far is that changing the purge state of the sampler will overwrite the "custom" purge selection so you need to make sure you call this method and restore the sampler in the correct order as the information which selection must be purged is handled on the scripting layer alone.

It might be one of the things that I'll regret adding like the Ghost panels, so take this feature request with a disclaimer that I might remove it if it becomes too annoying :)

@d-healey Excited to see where this goes. I've done some experiments abusing the timer, here's an poor man's old school timestretch:

Works alright (for samples shorter than 65500-whatever samples ofc) and I managed to build some other variations for detecting and adjusting according to BPM, beatslicing etc. Pretty fun for lofi and breakbeats but not really for Hans Zimmer stuff lol.

@Dan-Korneff Are you referring to the regular GM hats open/close/foot or the variable hats?
My plugins utilize both for compatibility.

The design I came up with for the variable hats is unique to my plugins, and they work with e-drums. The basic principle is that there are 2 notes: one for the hat tip and the other for the edge. You use CC4 to control the openness.

The way I accomplished that is by having parallel samplers: 6 for the tip and 6 for the edge. Each goes like: tightly closed/ closed/ 25% open/ 50% open/ 75% open/ 100% open. So, by operating CC4, you move between those samplers and mute notes in others that are not within a specified range.

This system is not 100% compatible with e-drums out of the box. They still need to set all of their tip to one note and all of their edge to another. I made the system that is the most practical, in my opinion, and can work with either e-drums or keyboard controllers, as well as being able to edit things easily with a mouse.

I'll gladly share the scripts with you if this is the system you want to implement.

Looks like the poly shape effect will do what I need.

@toxonic

But won't I need to use an inline function for realtime?

No, and also your UI script should be deferred (non-realtime) anyway. I think all callback functions (except control callbacks) are non-inline.

Yeah a loop inside the function is fine. You might want to reverse the order of controls in your array, it seems strange that element 3 is knob 1, but it won't affect the functionality.

@d-healey @Christoph-Hart -- ignore me then - back on yer heads...

@d-healey said in Amend the "Something went wrong during extraction" message:

@Lindon I always do a check before extracting to make sure the user has permission.

if (!dir.hasWriteAccess()) return MessageHandler.showMessage("Unwritable Directory", "You do not have write permission for the selected directory. Please choose a different one.", 1);

MessageHandler is a custom namespace I'm using.

yeah nice - but here the application is using the default extraction system. Not my nice (I will check before you do it) installer.....
