HISE Changes and additions...

@d-healey oh likely me then... it jsut pops up and you can type into it?

[d.healey]

@Lindon I will check it now and report back

[Lindon]

@d-healey okey dokey...

[d.healey]

@Lindon Ah found the original post with Christoph's explanation - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/8068/script-panel-label-keyboard-entry/25?_=1707410038122

@d-healey It's like the value input that happens when you shift-click a control, you can input the text, and then you get a callback with a function that returns success if user pressed enter or fail if they pressed ESC or clicked elsewhere or exited the input mode by any other means.

The callback allows you to parse the string and then do your thing.

This essentially allows the panel-based controls to have value input but is not locked to panels... it allows any kind of user input anywhere with a callbacks that lets you do... whatever you want!

OK modified the post on VI-C

@Christoph-Hart HISE is Turing-complete. It doesn't require new features. It needs the existing features to work. And to be documented. HISE is a beautiful train wreck in slow-motion.

[d.healey]

@clevername27 I agree somewhat with this. Shiny new features are great but there there are some long standing bugs that need attention.

@d-healey

1. Feature no work
2. Fix it
3. Hey we have new feature
4. Everyone win

[aaronventure]

@aaronventure Jokes aside, a lot of the stuff on this list were fixes in form of features, i.e. upgrades to existing workflows or additions made in a day or two that, by themselves, opened a lot of new possibilities, like modal text input, scriptnode nodes, detect bypass, change slider modifiers, more event control etc.

The work right now seems to be on the multipage creator which looks like it'll be a lot more than just a simple installer, and HISE would truly benefit from a unified deployment method allowing less tech savvy users to deploy plugins, which the MPC will seemingly provide. What's the point of an incredible IDE which lets you connect signal cables to make FX and drag and drop UI elements to create a production ready UI in a few hours without writing a line of code if you then drop the user into the hell that is learning about deployment on 3 platforms including codesigning and not getting lost in it all once you have more than 4 products.

So... this is all fixing (in this case, addressing one the biggest roadbumps for any newbie).

[Christoph Hart]

@aaronventure yup I‘m currently heads deep in the multipage stuff. At some point I‘ve realized that whatever I come up with default styling, people will immediately ask for all kinds of customizations, so now I‘m writing an extensive CSS parser / renderer which you can use to style the dialog like a HTML website. So yeah that‘s a shiny new toy, but it emerged from countless forum topic asking about installers.

When that‘s done I agree we‘ll put in some love into the docs. Dominik is working on a included snippet browser that you can use next to your current project for simple copy and paste of code examples and we think that this might be a good way to organize the resources that are scattered across many places at the moment (forum, docs, tutorial repo, etc)…

I'd like to but I still don't know how - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/9085/contributing-to-auto-generated-docs/4?_=1710670933598

I'm talking about fixes in the form of fixes :p Like the off by one issue in the group selection. Or the monolith export menu item that doesn't work. Or the table envelope bug (that I think I fixed but hasn't been merged), or the filter display bug that was introduced. Again features and usability improvements are great (and I've made a good number of such requests), but fixing some of the existing features, and they're probably fairly simple fixes, would make the HISE experience less frustrating/surprising :)

It also seems that the kind of bugs related to network compilation and consort are sticking around. I'll dive into this shortly, but not without the fear it'll go wrong at some point... I am not sure this is all reliable ATM

-- please please please - this first: BEFORE any new features - at the moment this means that existing projects cant get the latest HISE used on them (new features or not) because it breaks existing deployed functionality.....

[gorangrooves]

@Christoph-Hart I too vote for bug fixes before any new features. I always prefer to have fewer things that are rock-solid and reliable, rather than many features that throw unexpected results.

In the list of bugs waiting to be fixed for a long time is: button registering single clicks as double clicks (double callbacks) when it is a pluginParameter.

[clevername27]

@Christoph-Hart Are you saying this is already in the Dev build?

a nice visualizer with FFT, MIDI tuned oscilloscope, pitch tracking, 2D spectrogram and pre / post data collection of every audio processor in the HISE module tree.

Cheers.

[Christoph Hart]

@clevername27 sure just click on the peak meter on the top right.

[clevername27]

@Christoph-Hart Thank you - is that available as a Tile I can use in my plugin?

Sadly not... yet
