Create Interfase on HISE to be used on JUCE

hisefilo

Hi guys, doing some weird stuff here and need some guidance.

It's there a way to create UI within HISE and then connect it to a custom DSP code on JUCE? I already have C++ code with UI elements declared (like opening the AutogeneratedProject.jucer file and being able to edit it)
JUCE is a pain for UI design and HISE rocks on that!

OR..... EVEN BETTER...

It's there a way to add a C++ DSP code with declared sliders/buttons etc to HISE?

I know it's a huge question. Any guidance will be appreciated

P.S: I have a really nice DSP code made on Faust and I can export it to JUCE, or C++ and all I want is to create a nice UI for it on HISE

I'm about to go down this road in a few... got some Matlab projects I wanna import into HISE. I love the combined scripting/gui IDE

Christoph Hart

Yes, there are multiple ways to combine HISE with custom C++.

Add a custom UI element as floating tile
Create the entire instrument in C++ by combining the HISE modules with a JUCE GUI. That's what I did in PercX and offers the greatest flexibility, but you need to write proper C++ code :)

However both approaches are targeted at the UI side, replacing the HISE interface stuff with C++ for total customizability.

Now if you just want to import DSP algorithms in C++ (either from FAUST or Matlab), the best way would be to use the scriptnode API, create a wrapper for the code around it and then compile HISE with the node. Then you can just connect your UI to the node parameters as you would to "native" HISE modules.

Writing the glue code should be a very trivial task (after all all plugin APIs are more or less the same).

LOL this sounds trivial for you!!! Not for me. Any example?????

BTW you just made my next 4 month busy trying to make this work out!!! :)

hisefilo

@Christoph-Hart on 1: Can't ever see where the custom elements are placed on AutogeneratedProject.jucer
Any clue??

This is how a HISE project with 3 knobs and 1 floating title looks like

Everything C++ code needs to go into the AdditionalSourceCode directory and will be copied automatically into the build folder (see here for an example).

NEVER edit the files in the build folder, this folder is supposed to be a throw-away temporary folder (in fact it's good advice to add the entire Builds folder to the git ignore list.

LightandSound

@hisefilo creating ui in juce is a lot more free than in hise, once you get used to it. (Nothing against Christophs great work of course!). The paint routines are basically the same in juce and you have the benefit of having all the extra features juce has to offer right at your fingertips, the removeFrom method is hugely useful as is the flexi box system. Plus you get the benefit of a scalable ui without the fixed ratio.

hisefilo

@Christoph-Hart will be my homework then :( thanks mate

hisefilo

@LightandSound A bit hard for me since it's needed to compile every time to see any changes. But I know it's super powerful

Welcome to the slow world of "real" programming :p

Always build debug while testing, it's much faster.

hisefilo

@d-healey thanks!!! see you there :P

I'm really impressed with Faust simplicity. you can create a super complex DSP algorithm with just one line of code. If we are able to use HISE scripting and GUI power plus Faust...

Any clue on how to wrap this simple one oscillator C++ example into a node??? Or any node-wrapping tutorial/example?

@hisefilo A couple years back, Christoph suggested I look at his MDA effect wrapper for inspiration.

@dustbro thanks mate!! will take a look (C++ still being a pain for me)

Christoph Hart

Hmm, I think it's a little bit over your head to make a proper wrapper for that code (also I think I need to tinker with the compiler flags to see if I can change the code a little bit as there are a few annoying things in it). The most promising solution would be if I just create a wrapper node for faust code that you then can use.

That would be awesome and a way to many faust users to get into HISE (Faust lacks of GUI designer)

JOS will be so happy if that happens :)

ustk

@hisefilo Just to understand, what is the benefit of using Faust?
For what I see, everything can be made directly with scriptnode/snex right?
Easier than snex maybe?

d.healey

@ustk Faust is less buggy :p

But I've stopped playing with Faust for now because I'd rather use the new (less buggy?) version of SNEX when it's ready.

hisefilo

@ustk it's being developed for years and a huge library is there (Many of them developed by JOS)
i.e. you may have an analog modelled filter in just a few lines of code

Faust Programming Language

(faust.grame.fr)

hisefilo

@d-healey I haven't realised yet what SNEX will allow me to do. C++ is kinda obscure zone for me.

Faust does the compile thing to turn this one line thingy into a physically modelled trumpet on C++
