Getting the BPM of the host displayed in a text label
-
I'm trying to get a text label to display the current BPM of a DAW in close to realtime using the timer function.
The following code works nicely in HISE but not in Logic X or Studio One when testing the exported FX plugin.Any ideas what I'm missing here?
const var BPMTEXT = Content.getComponent("BPMTEXT"); const var timer = Engine.createTimerObject(); timer.startTimer(100); timer.callback = function() { BPMTEXT.set("text", Engine.getHostBpm()); }; -
Isn't the function
timer.setTimerCallback = function() { BPMTEXT.set("text", Engine.getHostBpm()); }; -
@ulrik Yes you're right, I think I was using an older format.
However, using this still doesn't work in exported FX though.
Does it work for you?
-
@LeeC yes it works in an instrument, (Logic), but I have not tried in a FX
-
@LeeC I just tested it in a FX plugin as well, and it works fine
In the plugin I built I can adjust the timer freq as you can see
I used this code:

@ulrik Well it definitely doesn't work as an FX plugin.
@Christoph-Hart is this a known issue?
After attempting both Scriptnode and this method of trying to get tempo synced functionally in an FX plugin it's seems that there isn't a way at the moment. Things work perfectly in HISE but not after exporting and testing in DAWs.
More than happy to wait patiently for fixes if this is the case but if I'm missing something obvious please help.
Cheers

Sorry I missed this...
Thanks, I'll try it now
-
@ulrik so this works as an FX plugin in Studio One but not in Logic X (10.3.1).
What version of Logic are you using?
-
@LeeC Logic Pro X 10.4.8
-
Ok thanks for the info.
I'll try updating to see if this makes a difference.
Massively appreciate the support with this @ulrik :glowing_star:
-
@ulrik So I've just tried with Logic X 10.4.1 and it doesn't work
Again this works fine in Studio One and that's using the AU that Logic should have no problems with.
If anyone has any thoughts as to what's might be going on please chime in...
-
@LeeC could it be any sync settings in Logic that has to be activated maybe?

I had a similar question about Engine.getSampleRate() . It worked fine in HISE, but not an exported FX plugin. The trick was to put the code in PrepareToPlay of the scriptFX instead of onInit.
Might be the same for your plugin. -
Nah it‘s unrelated, in this case it‘s called periodically and not just at initialisation.
-
Just tested in Ableton Live (9.1.6) and it works fine. This was using both AU & VST....
At @ulrik might be on to something with the "sync settings in Logic" idea so I'll have a look around in Logic X to see if I can find anything.
Very strange!
