Babayaga - horror fx/noise plugin

[markmrak]

@Dlukas7 thank you so much! :) definitely you can contact me, but i don't know if I'll have a lot of information for you, I'm a beginner in hise...but I would definitely like to hear about those horror plugin tips!

@markmrak This sounds really cool! (...and just in time for Halloween!!)

I'm on mac mainly but I've been spending the evening cleaning up my windows machine so that I can install HISE on there as well. I'll happily try it out on there if I can get it working. If you have a mac installer though that would be even better.

On first look at the GUI, my thoughts would be to maybe try having a button to show/hide the preset browser so that you don't have to have it on screen all of the time.

I'll put the instructions and the code you need for that below if you want to try it out :)

...

Step 1, Make a button called ‘PresetsButton’

Step 2, Make a floating tile called ‘PresetBrowser’. In the ‘Component Specific Properties’ section, select the PresetBrowser option in ‘Content Type’

Step 3, Copy the below code into the script editor and hit the ‘Compile’ button

const var PresetsButton = Content.getComponent("PresetsButton");

inline function onPresetsButtonControl(component, value)
{
    if (value)
    {
        PresetBrowser.showControl(true);
    }
    else
    {
        PresetBrowser.showControl(false);
    }
};

Content.getComponent("PresetsButton").setControlCallback(onPresetsButtonControl);

const var PresetBrowser = Content.getComponent("PresetBrowser");

@SteveRiggs Thanks,I really did want to make it smaller but i didn't know how to do it, I'll definitely try! I'll export it for mac tomorrow and it would be great if you can install it and see if it works!

[SteveRiggs]

@markmrak Ok great. Thanks!

No problem. You can resize it as well if you just wanted to do that. Just click and drag one of the corners of the floating tile to the size you want, and then change the font size in properties accordingly.

Which xmlpresetbackup file should I build from?

[markmrak]

@d-healey it's baba10
sorry, i only deleted the presets (hip files)
@SteveRiggs yep, i know it's kinda clunky this way, i was just so exited i found a preset browser i didn't investigate it enough

[SteveRiggs]

@markmrak I'm certainly not knocking it. It looks and sounds great. I didn't realize you could even hide the browser until about my third project You learn all kinds of cool shit along the way!!

[markmrak]

@SteveRiggs definitely! :) really a great feeling to finally be able to make a plugin...i just hope it works on your system, i did have a few warnings in the compile process :smiling_face:

[SteveRiggs]

@markmrak It is! Very rewarding and addictive when you get one built and working. HISE has actually taken over my life now lol

[d.healey]

It seems to have built okay but the preset browser is showing up for me, I'll have to see if I made a mistake.

I also noticed you only have 1 button setup as a automatable parameter and all of your labels are editable.

[d.healey]

Oh there is no preset browser in baba10.xml

I kinda thought that labels are just for labeling stuff(i suspected this could not be the case) - what does it mean that they are editable?

[d.healey]

@markmrak It means I can click on them and type in text in the exported VST. You can turn this off in HISE. @Christoph-Hart Maybe it should be disabled by default.

I'm not getting any sound from the plugin, I think the reason is because the baba10 xml doesn't have a sample map assigned to the samplers. I've assigned the sample map now and I'm reexporting.

hmmm...can i just save it somehow and send it to you...i mean a new xml?

[d.healey]

@markmrak Yeah should work

Just to mention quick as well... if you want to make custom sliders instead of using the stock ones, you can use the free software 'knobman' (There are some tutorials on YouTube how to use it. Mega easy!!)

128 frames is usually best to make your animations at. Just make sure that when you export your animation out from knobman that the stitching is set to vertical so HISE will read it properly.

.. and when you add it into HISE, change the numStrips value in properties to 128 also!
