FX - CC input

[Lindon]

@d-healey ok thanks - so no need for any extra processor definition and only need to turn on Enable MIDI Input FX in the preferences when I'm done and have a new compiled HISE?

[d.healey]

@Lindon That's how I understand it (I've never tried it mysefl).

[Lindon]

@d-healey thanks.

@Lindon Once compiled there's no need for extra definitions. But you need to activate it in the preferences:
Also, you don't need HISE_MIDIFX_PLUGIN, only HISE_ENABLE_MIDI_INPUT_FOR_FX,

[Lindon]

@ustk well after all that I'm still getting nothing from the compiled plug-in - I right click and expect to see the MIDI learn menu - and nothing is showing up...

so to be entirely clear:

I have recompiled HISE with the the two parameters set in the projucer = ENABLED

I then opened my project and opened the preferences panel and set Enable MIDI input FX to ticked (on)

Thats all I have done - I havent set any flags anywhere else. like this:

HISE_ENABLE_MIDI_INPUT_FOR_FX=1

Which I assume I dont need to do?

[Lindon]

@Lindon bump- anyone? What am I doing wrong?

[d.healey]

@Lindon Perhaps it only enables MIDI input (which you can detect with your script) and not the MIDI learn feature, in which case I think we need to add MIDI learn to FX too.

[Lindon]

@d-healey yeahbeginig to suspect this - so I will do some experiments...and report back.

[Lindon]

@d-healey - yep. You are right - its receiving midi data in - but there's no "right click for MIDI Learn" functionality...

[ustk]

@Lindon Yeah that's what Dave is saying. I myself use the MIDI input in my FX plugin, as I need notes to trigger some functions. But no MIDI learn, I should have mentioned that.

[Lindon]

@ustk all good - off to build my own MIDI CC mapping panel now...

[d.healey]

I'm looking at the source code now and saw an interesting comment:

/** Allow the end user to right click on a knob to MIDI learn it. 
	On compiled FX plugins, this is deactivated by default (because
	the FX plugin won't get MIDI input anyway.)
*/

I'll keep digging.

In the meantime, you could try compiling with HISE_ENABLE_MIDI_LEARN=1.

[d.healey]

I can confirm that adding HISE_ENABLE_MIDI_LEARN=1 in the extra definitions enables MIDI learn for FX plugins :D It's so good to have access to the HISE source!

[ustk]

@d-healey Good catch! :)

[Lindon]

@d-healey - great catch!! - off to compile now - but a nagging voice in my head says I did this already - where am I adding this:

Extra_Preprocessor_Definitions?

[d.healey]

@Lindon Yeah, of your project, not HISE.

[Lindon]

@d-healey - oh even better,,,,,

[Lindon]

Yep confirmed that works - life saver as usual Mr Healey...

[Lindon]

@Lindon said in FX - CC input:

Yep confirmed that works - life saver as usual Mr Healey...

Woah spoke too soon -- this broke HISE in a pretty permanent way - it now wont make any noise at all.....

[d.healey]

@Lindon Broke HISE or your plugin?
