Changing Instruments

[Tod Slaughter]

@d-healey Hi David, would these be loaded in one sampler with multi sample maps or one sampler per sample map?

[d.healey]

@tod-slaughter You can only load one sample map into a sampler at a time but you can swap them at (almost) any time.

@d-healey Ok cool that simplifies things somewhat.

@d-healey I tried already but it didn't do anything at all

[d.healey]

@jay Post code please

==========onInit========

const var mainSampler = Synth.getSampler("Sampler");
const var CmbSampleMap = Content.addComboBox("CmbSampleMap", 220, 480);
const var samplemaps = ["SampleMaps NAME Instruments", "a - Classic Tiney", "b - DX-Seven II", "k - Full Tines on Steroids"];
CmbSampleMap.set("items", samplemaps.join("\n"));

=========onControl============

function onControl(number, value)
{

{  
    case CmbSampleMap:
        Sampler.loadSampleMap(CmbSampleMap.getItemText());
    break;
}

}

@jay Sampler.loadSampleMap(CmbSampleMap.getItemText()); Your sampler variable is called mainSampler not Sampler.

Well I've just bought a book for javascript newbies. Hopefully I'll be up to speed soon.

@tod-slaughter It will help but remember that although HISE script looks like javascript it isn't javascript and a lot of stuff (beyond the basics) won't be applicable to HISE.

[Tod Slaughter]

@d-healey Hi David, I need to know the basics or I'll never understand what's going on. From what I gather the syntax is similar/same but the naming is different?

[Christoph Hart]

A knowledge of Javascript basics is definitely useful, but don’t overdo it because a lot of advanced language features are not supported by HISE and there are a few additions in the scripting engine that are not part of the Javascript standard (mostly stuff adapted from C/C++ for meeting realtime requirements).

@d-healey Thanks David, that was it.
