What is wrong with this export for the love of all that is good
-
I have finally after weeks of learning how to code, reading so much documentation and forums and various things, - asking ai things even, realizing that even my new compiled and updated HISE isnt even the real good HISE or some shit.
- I have finally finished a VST.It works in FL studio.
its janky, but beautiful, and thematic. Its wonderful.However, I cant get it t owork on other computers.
I even created an installer to move stuff to appdata.I have tried all of the stuff you are going to tell me first.
Including wavetable bank checking.I am at my wits end. I am so tired.
Help.

For the record - there is only a noise gen and a wavetable in the thing.
The gen works. The animations and knobs and art I made all works.
Its just the wavetable that doesnt.
I have tried SO many fixes. Im losing it.

@Quemis is it on a Mac? if so you need to code sign and notarise your binaries...welcome to Apple development.

@David-Healey hmm, I guess I was getting confused by this:
However, I cant get it t owork on other computers.

@Quemis Possibly a good way to test this is to remove copies of the plugin's VST3 file and clear the AppData folder. Download your own installer and run it, then try launching the plugin in FL. From there you can start to identify what is failing (wavetable files not be copied over, permission issues, etc.). Certainly, it would help to define specifically what doesn't work.

@Lindon no it isn't on a mac.
So the synth only features three things:
A noise gen, a single sample,
And most importantly, the main feature is a janky ass wavetable I made.
Its a Dungeon Synth Synth that makes grainy "creature" babbling. Its actually pretty damn cool, if slightly more Lowfi than I intended.There isn't a way to test if the sample is working or not, because it only exists on a noise filter (seperate from the noise gen) and in a convolution reverb - both of which require the wavetable to be working. Which isnt.
Before I finally got it working on my computer I was having the same issue - Everything worked, the noise gen, the animations I made, the art and knobs, - but the main sound wasn't playing when I hit notes.
I found out my wavetable was "in the wrong bank" or something and I did the trick where you make a new instrument and like force it to update by renaming the same hwt in it or something. (why didnt you put like a refresh in this thing?)
Also - Ai and things online keep talking about audio pools that dont exist, and various options in export and tools that dont exist... I am like damn this program sounds sick and user friendly.. if half of this stuff existed.
Yes by the way I do have the compiled version.... or A compiled version... Copilot made some monstrosity where it changed all the files internally to run on visual studio 2022 because I heard HISE was as of right now broken on 2026, which I am starting to think isnt true.. ugh.
Actually I think my install is broken right now. Was trying to update it to see if it would help last night, and ugh. I am not good at this.
SO:
I made an installer that would create the /My Company/ directory in their appdata and put the sample and the hwt in there in AudioFIles. It also puts the VST in their /programfiles/common.
Should work like a dream. It's doing the same thing though that it was doing to me before.
I open it in my gfs FL studio, and its art. Its noise gen. Knobs and animations fine.
But no main wavetable sound.Checked everything 10 times.
What gives?

HISE can be compiled with VS 2026. Start by removing the existing HISE installation and source code that you have. Make a fresh clone and build it. Then recompile your project.
-
Ok! So I know this is probably super annoying to answer 10x a day, but I finally have everything compiled and updated aand using VS2026 - Im pretty sure.
Everything seems tip-top.
What is the process for distributing a VST that features a wavetable? That doesnt build into the Vst3 right?
If I want to put my Vst on my website and say: Download this!
What do i do?

Not sure, I haven't used wavetables but the documentation seems to indicate they need to go in the Samples folder: https://docs.hise.dev/hise-modules/sound-generators/list/wavetablesynth.html#data-formats
@Christoph-Hart What does this mean?
Be aware that the wavetables will not be embedded into the binary, so if you don't want to use the monolith format, you have to untick the Embed AudioFiles option in your project settings.
The wavetables won't be embedded, so why would I need to untick the embed option?

Oh I was under the impression for I dont know why actually, that you developed HISE.
Thanks for the help though! : )
