Expansion Tutorial

[d.healey]

@Lindon I think yes, but you have to switch expansions between loading each sample map.

set expansion 1 = current, load a sample map from expansion 1
set epxansion 2 = current, load a sample map from expansion 2
etc.

I don't think changing expansions clears out currently loaded sample maps but it's possible it affects their sample references.

@Lindon You can I think, the expansion tutorial project seems to work this way
@d-healey I don't think "switch" is the right term since you gather all expansions at once, it is just a matter of selecting which one you choose to load a sample map. Christoph said (if I understood well) the active status of an expansion is just here so you can decide the behavior of your plugin based on that info. It doesn't restrict you to use any of those at the same time, to me it is just an info or status.

Nope, that's not the case. It's like Lindon wants it to be, you can load any combination of expansion assets everytime without bothering about an active expansion (and I don't think loading an samplemap from an expansion switches the "active" expansion, but I'm not 100% sure though :)).

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Oh cool, so as long as you prefix the expansion map name with {EXP::MyExpansion} and replace MyExpansion with the name of the expansion it should work?

[Christoph Hart]

Yes.5678

HA HA! Now I have the power! , with this I can rule the world I tell you!, you fools you will never understand! It's mine! all mine! ......oh hang on..... I dont yet know how to install an expansion....hmm, this world domination thing is a bit trickier than I thought....

[coreyu21]

Does this fix the issue of the end user opening a saved project in the daw, and correct expansion presets will load that the user has saved? Been my issue the whole time

[arminh]

@coreyu21 yes its fixed :D

[coreyu21]

@arminh awesome! Thanks everybody.

I have a quick Preset Browser question. The HISE preset browser has the first column populated with expansion names, but the floating tile preset browser defaults to the main Project user presets folder. Is there anyway to get the floating tile to react the same way? Ultimately, I'd love the Floating Tile preset browser to contain ALL of the expansion presets, not just the loaded expansion.
Here's a pic that I hope clarifies my question:

[d.healey]

@dustbro Enable the expansion column:

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey It's always something stupid..... Thank you!

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey Have you tinkered with loadPreviousUserPreset() and loadNextUserPreset() while using expansions? It seems to only work with presets located in the User Presets folder.

[d.healey]

@dustbro I have not

loadPreviousUserPreset() and loadNextUserPreset()

@Christoph-Hart Is there any way to make loadPreviousUserPreset() and loadNextUserPreset() available to expansions?

[Dan Korneff]

It looks like you have to set Engine.loadNextUserPreset() to stay in Directory.

Engine.loadNextUserPreset(1);

That will allow you to load next and previous in the expansion. If set to 0, the presets will get stuck cycling in the UserPreset folder and not find their way out.

[Dan Korneff]

I'm using a label to display the current preset name.
If I load a preset from an expansion, save the session in DAW and reopen, the preset label is blank. Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName() returns nothing. If I open and close the preset browser, the label text gets populated.
Anyone else experience this?
Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName() works as expected with the User Presets. (preset name is always restored)

@dustbro I am using this method. No problem here. Also you can put an invisible button above the label to open the preset browser.
