Multi Output Tutorial

@Matt_SF you can export a multi output plugin without changing the number of outputs HISE is using.

Oh, I didn't know that was possible - I haven't even tried...!

[d.healey]

@Matt_SF the outputs will be set dynamically in the daw when you load the plugin - most daws show a pop-up and ask how many outputs you want.

Indeed. OK noted!
... Now half of my post is useless

@d-healey Although I think that building the multi-out version of HISE allows to see what you're doing and debug your code easily.
If you have your routing script already set up and working, you can take the dynamic way.

Yeah this is pretty much the only reason I ever built HISE as a plugin, but actually you get 99% of the way there in the standalone and you can test the output routing with a container.

You don't have to build the plugin version to 'access' the multi-out routing anymore.
The standalone version works just fine.

I'll have to try that in the 'stereo' build, thanks!

It's the same as you're showing in your tutorial above, but you use another container instead of the master container.

@d-healey Oh ok, I get it. Nice tip!

@Matt_SF My man.

I followed all the steps, Hise plugin compiles ok from xcode but crashes validation in logic. anyone here have any idea how I can correct this so my Hise plugin has 48 outputs like this example? I got a working HISE standalone with 48 outputs available in routing matrix. but the plugin crashes validation. any advice?

[d.healey]

@weezycarter Does it work in any other DAW? Have you ran it through auval? Does it work if you use fewer outputs - like just stereo?

[weezycarter]

@d-healey I haven't checked on another daw yet I accidentally deleted the component and vst first without thinking of trying it in another daw. I ran it through auval and auval crashes. The regular stereo plugin DOES work. its just when I put the NUM_MAX_CHANNELS = 48
HISE_NUM_PLUGIN_CHANNELS = 48 values in there it fails validation, even though it exports fine from Xcode with no errors. it also fails with 32 channels.

[d.healey]

@weezycarter What is the minimum number of channels that works?

[weezycarter]

@d-healey so far the minimum I’ve gotten to work in the plug-in version is just a stereo output 1/2.

[d.healey]

@weezycarter make a minimal test plugin with 4 channels. Then we'll have a baseline.
