FX - CC input

[Lindon]

@d-healey thanks.

[ustk]

@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?

[Lindon]

@d-healey HISE

I just recompiled HISE - and it now wont make any sound at all - there is no output.

I can see midi notes arriving but even a simple sine wave generator wont make any noise at all...

I inserted a script node and its receiving midi notes - but at the point nothing else happens...no sound generated - and none appearing in the LEDs

[d.healey]

@Lindon I don't think that's anything to do with the flag you set for your project then, sounds like some other issue. With the sine wave generator are you seeing the internal meters moving?
