Making a Player?

[Casmat]

Hey!

I’m now onto one of the most daunting tasks of my project! Thanks for all your help in understanding hise, it truly is an amazing and powerful framework! So here’s the rundown, I’m trying to make a player plugin, like David Healey’s rhapsody plugin, which plays his instruments. In the same way, I want to create a player which would play my instruments. The only difference is that the plugin will instead of loading in individual instruments, it will have three gain knobs. The user would be able to choose what samples to add to each of these three knobs and be able to mix and match. They’ll be able to import archive files, like David’s lwz files. In these files, there would be three sample layers which would be imported into the player and the user would be able to add the layers to each of the knobs. Basically, the archive is like a pack of three layers. The user would be able to mix and match. How would I go about implementing this, what should be my process in making a player?

Why not use Rhapsody?

Actually, I just re-read your post, just the normal expansion system is better for your purpose. lwz btw are just zip files. For your system I think the regular hr1 files would probably be more appropriate.

Thanks for the insight! I’m planning on adding some license registrations for the samples. How did you add things like serial numbers to your instruments?

I didn't.

Oh, I thought I had seen them somewhere, do you know how I could possibly add something like this to protect the archive files? And where can I get more info on the expansion system

@Casmat

I have a video on my YouTube channel about expansions. It's a little outdated now but should give a general idea of how it works.

There's probably something in the docs about license keys to put restrictions on your files. There's a lot of info on the forum too.
