Start/Stop AudioLoopPlayer

[d.healey]

I'm not familiar with it, how do you usually start it playing? Does it respond to MIDI?

[Adam_G]

@d-healey yes it usually plays back via midi note. i considered Synth.playNote but i have other Samplers and AudioLoopPlayers in the project and I cant figure out how to make that trigger a specific player only.

[d.healey]

@argon If you put the script containing Synth.playNote() within the loop player's chain that should (I think) limit its scope.

[Adam_G]

@d-healey chain meaning inside of an onControl or something different? im a code noobie haha, your videos have been my bible

edit: just to clarify, im attempting to have an audioloopplayer play a wav of a vinyl sample and have that sample always be playing. a knob will control the gain and keep it at zero unless the user increases it

[d.healey]

@argon The audio loop player has it's own midi processor section. Try putting your script there.

[Adam_G]

@d-healey ahhh good idea. ill give it a shot thank you

[Adam_G]

@d-healey brilliant! it worked! thanks again :D

[Adam_G]

@d-healey i spoke too soon i guess, works in hise but not in a compiled plugin

[Matt_SF]

@argon how are you loading the sample in the loop player?
The problem can be that the compiled plugin doesn't find it.

[Adam_G]

@Matt_SF the samples are in the audio files folder and ive added them manually within the project

..but did you add them to the AppData/AudioFiles folder in your compiled plugin?

[Adam_G]

@Lindon yep, no luck

[Adam_G]

@Matt_SF @Lindon ill try exporting with an audiowaveform panel connected to it to be sure the files are being found

[Adam_G]

i wonder if its my hise version causing issues. im noticing now the audiowaveform panel doesnt function correctly as it does in other hise versions on my machine. im using a scriptnode commit from around may (i think). is there a newer one anyone can confirm is working?

[Matt_SF]

@argon I'm using the latest commit. I'm currently working with audio loop players and I can confirm it's working just fine.

[Matt_SF]

@argon but as David advertised () , using multiple versions of HISE is the best way to mess everything up...

[Adam_G]

@d-healey bad practice eh?

[Adam_G]

@Matt_SF thank you ill give it a try

[Adam_G]

i had to set the sampleIndex to 0 instead of -1. finally able to test it in a compiled plugin and the sample does not load after all. it shows the correct filename and when i right click the panel it opens the correct AudioFiles folder with the sample in it. any ideas for what might be causing it to not load?
