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?

So what is the difference between making a dll and exporting as cpp ?

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 It's in the doc but it's outdated.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

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

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.

[Matt_SF]

@dustbro It happens a lot. Did you try to delete/re-create the node ? It should solve the problem.

[Dan Korneff]

@matt_sf ha! I've had to remove and add a bunch of stuff to get everything to behave. I ended up taking this node out of the oversampling container for a quick fix.
Do we have access to individual nodes via script? I can't seem to find a way to bypass the oversampling. .

[Matt_SF]

@dustbro to my knowledge, there is no way to acces individual nodes or bypass a container via script -except for the container.bypass

[Dan Korneff]

Maybe with this? I don't see it in the docs so I'm unsure how to use it.

[Matt_SF]

@dustbro I've never used these function... and won't be able to tell how they work But I guess, if you can do the bypass connection in the network graph, you can't do it by script...

[Dan Korneff]

@matt_sf I think I figured it out... snippit incoming shortly

[Dan Korneff]

I feel crippled using the new layout
How do I access the interface designer for a scripfx?

[Matt_SF]

@dustbro What I did is go to "View" > "Show custom workspace" and in the empty tab I displayed a "Script content". There you can select the interface designer for the scriptFx, like in the old days

[d.healey]

@dustbro Click "onInit" and start adding components. You shouldn't use the interface designer for scripts that aren't the main interface, you should do it through scripting.

[Dan Korneff]

Thanks for all the help!
I've created a combo box in a script effect, but the parameter isn't available in the main interface. Only knobs that I create in the dsp network show up.

I thought I was able to access these in the past?

[Christoph Hart]

@dustbro Any script processor that hosts a DSP network will forward the parameters by default to the network as this is what 99% of the use cases will require. If you don't want to do it, you need to call this method.
