@danh found it!

@matt_sf Ok I've jumped through a few more hoops...

I rebuilt the script fx and now I get this error when trying to compile:

❌  /Users/DANH/Documents/HISEPROJECTS/TEST copy/DspNetworks/Binaries/Source/Main.cpp:18:25: no member named 'CHORUSNEW' in namespace 'project'

                registerNode<project::CHORUSNEW>();

I named the script fx 'CHORUSNEW' but that hasn't made any difference. I can see the script fx properly referenced in my project XML file... Any ideas?

[DanH]

@danh Right, CHORUSNEW.h has finally appeared in the source folder... Now a bunch of new errors when trying to compile

❌  /Users/DANH/Documents/HISEPROJECTS/TEST copy/DspNetworks/Binaries/Source/CHORUSNEW.h:82:41: use of class template 'jdsp::jpanner' requires template arguments

                                  jdsp::jpanner, 

Any ideas?!

[Matt_SF]

@danh I won't be of any help on that matter... What I noticed is that once you start messing around with compiling, changing names/nodes, compiling again, etc... It messes up the whole project and produces errors even after cleaning the build directory...

At the moment it's like : do it right the first time or don't do it
What you can try is to export your network, create a new project folder and start anew...

[DanH]

@matt_sf This is pretty much my experience! Will make it again and see!

1. Could anyone explain to my what is the "playground" "snex" and all that jazz ?
2. Can I build CPP withing the scriptnode to include/build in HISE for future use ?
3. What is this DLL business I see in this thread ?
4. Am I supposed to build scriptnode fx in the "playground/Snex" rather then within HISE ?

You can (and probably should) export your node networks as a dynamic library (DLL on Windows) that will be compiled into your HISE project. This converts the scriptnode patch to C++/Assembly which will also improve efficiency.

4. Am I supposed to build scriptnode fx in the "playground/Snex" rather then within HISE ?

You should use the SNEX Workbench.

Why , does it not end up the same when I export my plugin ? Not too concerned about performance while making it ...yet , anyways.

"You should use the SNEX Workbench."
So is SNEX Workbench meant for programming rather then a NODE environment ?

No it has to be compiled separately first.

It's for both.

Interesting, I was sure I read that it was the same in the end.

So what is the difference between making a dll and exporting as cpp ?
And what is the benefit of building an FX in SNEX Workbench rather then within Hise where I can make them In context ?

You can only compile the FX in the workbench. But like you I think it seems preferable to create the FX in a HISE project rather than the workbench, and then compile it when finished

[DanH]

@crd I don't think that's the case actually, I think you're better off compiling all scriptnode fx for better cpu usage.

"Be aware that this is another contender for worst CPU usage for a simple effect (if you compile it the CPU usage will drop significantly)."

[crd]

@danh Got it. I guess I am confusing "wrapping" with compiling. Trying to compile anything for me right now crashes scriptnode_workbench for me...

Has anyone been able to compile a scriptnode network on Mac OS Mojave?

In older versions of HISE you had to export as cpp and compile HISE again to include your network into you plugin. It's in the doc but it's outdated.
With latest versions you can compile a dll with the workbench, then just compile your plugin with HISE and the dll network will be embedded into your plugin.

And what is the benefit of building an FX in SNEX Workbench rather then within Hise where I can make them In context ?

@christoph-hart said in Snex_node Needs to be wrapped into a compileable DSP Network:

Everything that is using the SNEX compiler in HISE must be compiled to a C++ class for the exported plugin (the JIT compiler is not included in the codebase of a exported plugin). This includes:

• list itemany SNEX node
• list itemany expression node (control.cable_expr and math.expr)
• list itemany expression in a parameter connection (the Expression property)

So if you use the SNEX compiler you must compile your network first with the workbench. Also if you're working on big projects it's "lighter" to use the workbench to design your network(s) : once created, they are available here :

@crd

Tried here on Catalina : workbench is not crashing, wrapping is ok but it fails to compile the network.

[crd]

@matt_sf Thanks... Yeah. It wraps then I get an instant crash when trying to compile it.

[Matt_SF]

@crd I faced that kind of issues with some previous commit of the develop branch, but it can be anything... Are you using the latest version of develop ?

[crd]

@matt_sf The build from the 27th. The latest is not building for me. I've been trying to narrow down what this could be for a couple weeks without much luck.

Are there any general rules to follow when using Oversampling in scriptnode? I wrapped a chain that contains send/receive nodes in 4X oversampling, and the receive node is complaining about sample rate mismatch.
