Anyone Done a Rerdering FX?~

@Lindon This is exactly what I'm aiming for! What about the fx chain? Can you swap fx by dragging?

no, it doesnt do dragging - which as @Natan pointed out isnt really a professional way to do it.

There's an EQ, then 5 slots - in each slot the user can select any of the FX you see in the drop down - so the user can have 5 chorus' if they want, or 5 reverbs, or any mix of any number of any FX... like a real FX Rack - where the studio has an endless supply of FX boxes...

Here's a clue how its done:

@Lindon I agree with that but thought of combining both methods.

1. Predefined fx chain
2. Ability to select fx
3. Fx swapping without restoring knobs etc.

With that you have more freedom.
Because what if you made all tweaks and then you can't swap on the fly?

Good luck with that then. (:

@Lindon Well Done Lindon
@UD-AUDIO Having Both Features Is Nothing But A Gem.
But The Freedom Of Selecting The Effects With Combobox Is Very Nice IMO.

You Can Feed Your Signal, WIth A Long Delay, And A Short Slapback Delay, And Throw Some Reverb Afte That And Use Comps.
Just Like A DAW.
But The Lack Of Swapping :/

• just put in a "settings copier" in each slot - so if you like the settings of one reverb hit copy in that reverb - then hit paste in another and you are 90% of the way to having all of it.

-----in fact I should just go do that....

[Natan]

@Lindon Good Idea

[UD AUDIO]

@Lindon Oh this "settings copier" is new to me! Sounds like a way..
Yeah, just like a DAW (FL mixer in my mind)
I've tried to make it with the routing matrix but no chance.
Maybe you could do this copy part after dragging or on dragging start.
Idk if you need base64 then?! There is no other way to reorder the fx chain right?

But you might not need to copy values if you just could reorder it
without the need of reloading fx. Wondering why there is nothing like a usable routing behind it (maybe the way HISE works)

Lindon, To Connect The Knobs To The Modules:
You Used Too Much If/Else Statements On Combobox Value, Right?
And Naming The Labels Aswell?
And Knob Ranges????

No Way!!! if Yes, You Did So Much Codes

nope... I built a panel for each slot for each effect type - and hide/show depending on the chosen effect - and hard wired the widgets in each - of course most of those widgets are connected to non-existent FX modules, but as they are hidden no one can move them and call their callback...

@Natan
Today I found this:

Change order of childComponents inside panel?

But why don't you use the always on top mode for the currently dragged one and set it back to default on mouseUp? In your animation the Layer 4 being dragged...

Forum (forum.hise.audio)

This is paint routine but it should work for panels aswell.
Never got this to work but it made me think it's possible in HISE.
It would also be great to use the interface designer first if you need to use base64 etc.

@Lindon Thank You Lindon, But What About The The Automation List?
I Guess It Is Very Confusing For End User.
You Have Parametrs With Same Names And Some Of Them Do Nothing!!!

[UD AUDIO]

@Natan I think if he has set pluginParameterName for any knob etc.
it is no problem to have the same text inside your interface.
Otherwise it really is confusing!

I did make some progress on this , especially when I involved a proper programming friend of mine ( which said its easy to do) Let me see if I can find all that stuff.

[Natan]

@lalalandsynth Lala Is Back Thanks Man, It's So Helpful To Share All The Possibilities Here

[UD AUDIO]

@lalalandsynth This would be such a game changer for my plugins.
Truely a lifesaver! <3

[Natan]

Also If you Check With Hise > Tools > Validate Plugin Parameters, It Will Show You Some Errors If Hise Finds Any Duplicated Parameters.

nope - as you know widgets cant have duplicate names --- just name them correctly :
e.g. ChorusRateSlot1 - then if the chorus is not loaded in that slot - as you say modulating it in your DAW wont have any effect - pretty logical really...

@Lindon But It's Still Listed Right?

-- because it exists. But hey if this is a show stopper for you then I wish you luck finding another way...
