It crashes on mac with a mouseUp in the upper previewPanel so I changed this
Engine.playBuffer("", "", 0.0);
into this
Engine.playBuffer([], "", 0.0);

I had the same issue on Windows, thanks for the easy fix :)

I've written a temporary method for the Save button, for those of you just as impatient as me :) :

const var SuffixLabel = Content.getComponent("SuffixLabel");

inline function onSaveButtonControl(component, value)
{
	if (value)
	{
		//Grab suffix

		local suffix = SuffixLabel.get("text");
		local fileName = LorisProcessor.CURRENT_FILE.toString(1);
		local audioFilesDirectory = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AudioFiles);

		//Write buffer to audio

		local bufferToWrite = LorisProcessor.ooo;

		local fileToExport = audioFilesDirectory.getChildFile(fileName + "_" + suffix + ".wav");

		local isMultiChannel = isDefined(bufferToWrite[0].length);

		if (!isMultiChannel)
			fileToExport.writeAudioFile([bufferToWrite], Engine.getSampleRate(), 16);
		else
			fileToExport.writeAudioFile(bufferToWrite, Engine.getSampleRate(), 16);
	}
};

Content.getComponent("SaveButton").setControlCallback(onSaveButtonControl);

@iamlamprey yeah, go open source! Now do a realtime synthesizer next.

d.healey

@iamlamprey Thanks for that!

@Christoph-Hart This is amazing. I've just been playing with the pitch lock and my dynamic layers crossfade perfectly without any noticeable chorusing. I didn't even make much of an attempt to line them up, I just auto-trimmed the starts and dropped in some loop points.

Any suggestions on optimizing the number of partials? I don't think I can do 2000 lol

@iamlamprey

@hisefilo is our additive synthesis expert I think - last time I looked at his published stuff he was using only about 8 partials to get something viable, so you could "optimise" down to this, build an additive synthesis engine to utilise these, and then keep adding partials until you are happy.

Of course "build an additive synthesis engine" is a 5-word description of a HUGE job...

hisefilo

@Lindon @iamlamprey LOL, not that expert but spend a lot of time dealing with partials. I think 128 harmonic partials + residual noise can create almost any sound in a credible way. (lower registries from C2 and below will need up to 256 partials but you can optimize that for each octave)

I haven't checked the Loris integration yet. But I guess many of the 1930 partial you have is noise turned into partials. Have you checked how many partials you see on Spear for this sound??

A Former User

I actually have some semi-working additive nodes I made in SNEX a while back, they just didn't have working envelopes. IIRC they utilized about 40 (?) sines and waveshaping to add overtones without a noticeable CPU hit

The 1930 partials seem to be the Loris algo being overly sensitive, a lot of the extracted partials are extremely close in frequency to each other:

These are sorted by loudness, you can see there's multiple 552.x partials, there's probably some parameter for filtering these but I'm dumb :)

@iamlamprey

I assume that's why the resynthesis sounds so good. But for an additive synth it's probably overkill.

This is probably what you need: http://www.cerlsoundgroup.org/Loris/docs/utils.html

collate : collate the Partials to reduce their number without assuming any harmonic structure (cannot distill later!).

A Former User

@d-healey Yeh I noticed that command, not sure how to use it in the HISE implementation, I tried

lorisManager.process(CURRENT_FILE, "collate", ???);

No idea what to use for the third parameter, or if the collate string is even viable there lol

I currently have a hacky solution by just rounding the values before pushing them to the array, then using pushIfNotAlreadyThere to remove the duplicates, it works for now

Christoph Hart

@iamlamprey I'm currently extending the Loris API to include the more advanced functions like collate, distill and sift (love the names), they do address the problem of having too many partials, but as David said, if you reduce them to a common denominator the sound gets a bit more static.

Which commands are currently available for the process function? I had a look through the source but didn't see a list.

I see I can play back a buffer using Engine.playBuffer() but is there a way I can stop playback? What I want to do is allow the user to load a sample and hit a button which will resynthesise it at different pitches which are mapped to the keyboard and then they can play it back like a regular instrument.

Also, can I load a buffer into a loop player or must it be saved as a real file first?

I don't think there is one, you can make your own functions with processCustom but I'm "patiently" waiting for Christoph to implement the official partial filtering methods cause my hacky ones keep crashing HISE lol

The mouseUp event in the top panel has a "stop" button by playing an empty buffer (fix by @ustk above):

Engine.playBuffer([], "", 0.0);

d.healey

@iamlamprey

I don't think there is one,

Well we have dilate, I only know because it's used in the toolkit, but I haven't seen it in the code specifically.

Ah that's clever.

Hmm this isn't working for me, the file just plays until the end.

A Former User

@d-healey

I'm not actually sure how that code works, since the docs only ask for 2 params, you could try different combinations of the [], "" and 0.0 lol

Engine.playBuffer(var bufferData, var callback)

If that doesn't work there's a few bits in the source referencing stopping the buffer, specifically

void MainController::stopBufferToPlay()

which is called when destructing a buffer object, but there isn't a wrapper for it, and I'm not sure how safe it would be using that intentionally

Does it work for you?

Docs show 3 parameters for me

ustk's code above works for me in the context of the Loris Toolkit's preview waveform panel, it was crashing on mouse up, now it fades out the audio/stops playback on mouseup.

Ah I always refer to https://docs.hise.audio/scripting/scripting-api/engine/index.html#playbuffer , the HISE api has 3

I'm not sure why the buffer isn't stopping for you, I think this might be turning into a @Christoph-Hart problem..
