The definitive feature request & bug fix roadmap

[DanH]

FEATURE REQUEST: Switch off Keyboard Focus for compiled instrument plugins.

Unfortunately people who prefer to use their computer keyboard to play their soft instruments can accidently trigger some kind of keyboard transpose functions and get into a complete mess where the plugin won't play the notes they want. You can also accidently reset your preset if you press Enter whilst in the preset browser.

[DanH]

Feature Request A ‘Clear All’ button for macro controls. As in clear all the assigned macros.

[Mwins]

A working drag and drop MIDI feature would be great! I see the progress in the develop branch which is great but it's still not dropping the midi file.

BUG

Macro Modulators are a mess....

In large projects:

LFO Modulators dont retain consistent timing when more than one note is being played...they wander about all over the place

Modulator depths are not being consistently retained across DAW project save and load

Sometimes just adding a modulator (especially to somehting controlling an FX param) just crashes HISE/plugin

Feature Request

Invert parameter for MPE modulators to match functionality of Midi Controller modulators.

Advanced Learn MIDI CC/ Assign MIDI CC

Ability to assign also bitchbend, channel aftertouch, poly aftertouch... in addition to CC0-127 to instruments different modulation targets. See further details in post https://forum.hise.audio/topic/4438/advanced-learn-midi-cc-assign-midi-cc

Feature request referToData function for modulator tables. This will allow us to link a single table on the UI to multiple modulators.

Bug Report

Actually it's not a Hise bug. It's a fix request on Logic Pro X behaviour for fx plugins.

Logic makes fx plugins in the standby mode at the initialization. So the Server API / timers...etc. doesn't work at the begining. As soon as audio passes inside the fx plugin, issue is gone.

All of the detailed info is here: https://forum.hise.audio/topic/3885/server-callwithget-broken-on-mac-compiled-plugins/60

Backend: Ruler and guides for easier GUI design As David pointed out, easy to make your own.

BUG Develop branch, GNU/Linux (might affect other OSs too). Any action that brings up a drop down/combo box list doesn't work.

I go away for a few hours and when I come back the issue has gone! The Christoph works in mysterious ways :man_mage:

BUG
Mac OS
Develop branch
Projucer asks for login to ROLI. Doesn't seem to be a way past it...

Workaround is to build your own from source. The latest version of Projucer no longer includes a appConfig.h. Instead you can now enable GPL mode from the login screen.

Scriptnode Minor Bug

In the Create Node window, the short description of nodes appears only when typing in the search bar. It stays empty when using mouse-click or keyboard up/down arrows.

Graph Display Glitches

[d.healey]

BUG/Feature

Develop branch.

Adding an expansion doesn't work if you haven't set up the necessary thingies in the project preferences. It just creates and empty xml file. It would be better if either it did nothing or it gave the user some information to say why it wasn't working.

Develop Feature Request & Bug Report

Added functionality to further customize the look of the AudioWaveform component. Stuff like playhead color, maybe a selection of multiple ways of drawing the actual waveforms (see Ableton waveform display f.e.), gradient colors for the waveform, etc. LAF?

(EDIT: The gradient I found out how to do in the sourcecode... thanks to @Casey-Kolb... I also can see where the playhead is drawn, so... but the issue with disappearing playhead on compilation goes beyond my knowledge... )

It would be nice if I could also get rid of the rectangle that surrounds the component. No matter what I do, these lines always stay there.

Also, the playhead is missing in the compiled plugin. See https://forum.hise.audio/topic/3599/audiowaveform-lines-don-t-appear-in-plugin/11?_=1627122129127

Feature request: LAF obj.group

New Component Specific Properties: obj.group: "any string"

At the moment you can summarise for example knobs like this

 if (obj.text == "Q" ||obj.text == "Decay ms" || obj.text == "Attack ms" || obj.text == "Hold ms" || obj.text == "Sustain db" || obj.text == "Release ms"|| obj.text == "Pan" || obj.text == "L Time ms" || obj.text == "R Time ms" || obj.text == "Random" ){
        g. do something
    };

It would be clearer if you could assign a slider, button, panel etc. to a group.
For example obj.group = "gain"

Now you only have to write

 if (obj.group == "gain" ){
        g. do something
    };

And all sliders in the group get this appearance

[d.healey]

@MikeB You can do this already, you just need to use some string manipulation with the control's text property. Take a look at this example and see how I'm adding a group name to the text property but still display the knob's text on screen without the group name.
