Vst and Aax plugin categories

[A Former User]

All of the Hise made vst fx plugins are showing on "other" category in Cubase.

Could you add vst category?

Also it is very useful to be able to select 2 categories at the same time. In Juce that is possible. Is there a way to add this multiple category feature for both vst and aax plugins?

Has this been updated yet? I'm looking to change the category of VSTi exports.

@dustbro +1 for VST categories (for instrument and fx)

[d.healey]

Just open the project's jucer file and set the categories you want :)

@d-healey What section is that in? I couldn't find it in the projucer file

@d-healey my hero!

Was just looking for this same answer. Thanks for posting this!

Even more basic question from my side. What Projucer file is this and how do you get this to save?

The only .jucer file in my project is in the DspNetworks and it is called “AutogeneratedProject.jucer” and editing that didn’t work

Could anyone point me towards which file should be edited exactly?

@optimistic It should be in your binaries folder.
I think you need to start the export from HISE , stop the terminal and then open the projucer file.

[d.healey]

Yes as lalalalalalalalandsynth said. This is the projucer file that is generated (and overwritten) each time you "export" your project from HISE.

[optimistic]

Ok, interesting!

So you start the build from HISE, cancel it and then you open the projucer file manually and how do you export from this?

I’ve only ever exported from HISE so do I do this from Pro Jucer itself?

I also am building AU and AAX so I guess I should let everything finish and then manually do VST again. Would that make sense since this only applies to VST?

@Christoph-Hart this would be a nice addition to add to the settings of the HISE project at some point :winking_face:

@optimistic said in Vst and Aax plugin categories:

HISE is tricking you ;)

When you "export" from HISE what actually happens is HISE generates a JUCE project for you, with a .jucer file. After that it runs a batch script. All that batch script does is resave the .jucer file in Projucer and then compiles the project using VS/Xcode

It's exactly the same process as compiling HISE. Just instead of using HISE's standalone.jucer file you use the autogenerated.jucer file that HISE created.

@d-healey Ok, thanks for explaining that. I just checked it out and quite amazing how much is happening under the hood now.

I'll give this a shot tomorrow and see how. I just had a look at the Xcode project (I can't how much is in this project under the hood!) and will do the same on VS tomorrow. Less familiar there but hopeful I can figure it out.

[optimistic]

@optimistic Just wanted to chime in again and thank everyone for this thread as this did indeed work.

It would be useful if HISE either added this feature in preferences (as it can with the AAX categories) or if there was even just an option to export to Juce. Never built the plugins from Xcode and VS but was surprisingly easy to do so.
