Release triggers

[d.healey]

Would you mind sharing the code of the built in release trigger script? I want to create a modified version to support a few other features.

Never mind, I just realised it's already on GitHub :)

Yes here is the source file:

HISE/hi_scripting/scripting/HardcodedScriptProcessor.h at master · christophhart/HISE

The open source framework for sample based instruments - HISE/hi_scripting/scripting/HardcodedScriptProcessor.h at master · christophhart/HISE

GitHub (github.com)

This is C++ though so you might have to change a few things to make it valid Javascript.

Here's my updated release trigger script. I've added a mute button so that release triggers can be disabled. I've also added a legato button: when this is enabled release triggers won't be played for each note of a legato phrase, they will only play when the last key is lifted.
