Feature Request:The Case for Bus Containers

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart no I havent really explored scriptnode(too busy) but its on my list!.

• but as a starter question - so theres an equivalent "send and receive FX" node in there? SO I can pass audio between different branches of the tree?

To be clear(er) to send audio between a script node module in Container1 and a script node module in Container2?

[Christoph Hart]

Yes, this is how you can implement feedback loops for delays, but also use it to send signals between locations as long as you're being reasonable: it's your responsibility to make sure that the signal is compatible. If you send an oversampled signal to a non-oversampled location (or a frame-processed signal to a block processed signal, you'll be in trouble).

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart Ok fine, I read thru the documentation on the "nodes" and I couldn't see anything that let me "send audio between a script node module in Container1 and a script node module in Container2", did I miss it (very possible)

I see this:

HISE | Docs

(docs.hise.audio)

but the documentation appears its "pithy" best...

[Christoph Hart]

yes, the beauty of autogenerated docs :)

Yes, this is true, you can't send signals around instances of scriptnode. Maybe it makes sense adding a send / receive HISE fx module after all...

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart yes send/receive HISE FX would be a good idea, I see the value in the send/receive script node options - but again it pushes all the routing inside a single object, so in effect has the same model as the routing matrix system. with all the same benefits and disadvantages.

So Send/Receive modules would be great, my solution was just an attempt to stop recursive loops of signals - but if you are OK with "user beware" than I really really am too.

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart Hey Christoph, just wondering where on the schedule this might be? I have a project I'm just starting that would find send and receive FX modules really really useful...

[Christoph Hart]

I wouldn't hold my breath, I am currently swamped in work.

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart damn it.. hey ho...I will hang on then.

[Lindon]

• praying (pretty hard) that this is in V3......

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart - is there any chance of getting this (send/receive FX) any time soon? I have a wildly complex send structure request form a user and this is pretty much what I need....
