Is there no basic ASDR?

[bandit_FD1]

Hi All,

I've been digging around just looking at things but, is there no "ADSR" FX module at all? For example, if you just wanted to make a VST that was just an ASDR, is that possible? Thank you!

@bandit_FD1 The AHDSR is a modulator rather than an effect. You can apply it within the gain chain of your sound generator. You can also use it to modulate effects, and other modulators.

You might enjoy this starter tutorial which features the AHDSR gain envelope - https://youtu.be/hD1RWA5fwRQ?si=7GEo5dF9boFcKehr

@d-healey Ah sweet! Thank you David :) We need to get some HISE Merch made including a shirt that says "In Healey We Trust" :)

@d-healey - I had one quick follow up question about this one.

I created a Waveform Generator - Added the ADSR to the chain under Gain modulation. Now, if i compile this, and add this to an FX chain on another instrument (within my DAW) will this then apply the ADSR to that instrument? I'm about to test it but what worries me is the waveform generator is just sitting dormant, and I'm not really using it for that purpose (make a synth etc) -- i'm legit just looking to make a VST that's just an ADSR (if that helps colorize what i'm trying to attempt) Thanks again in advance :)

That won't work, what you've created is a virtual instrument, not an audio effect.

You can make effects plugins in HISE. In this case add a simple gain effect in the fx chain and add the AHDSR within the effect's gain chain.

However, if all you want to do is modulate the gain of a track in your DAW you could probably find a free envelope plugin online.

@d-healey I thought so, I wasn't sure if it would just bypass the generator and allow me to use the envelope. That said, I did look at the Simple Gain:

There's no option for it - Envelopes are grayed out. Is there some kind of Healey-Fu I need to be applying to this idea? Thanks !

@bandit_FD1 Ah in that case you might have to make your own effect in scriptnode.

[bandit_FD1]

@d-healey Oh wow -- this is sick dude. I've never tinkered with ScriptFX/Scriptnode because I'm still a HISE padawan-learner. That said, my only follow up question about Scriptnode is this, I've managed to find the simple ADSR and added it to my project.

How exactly would one now connect the controls that i've already got in place (keeping in mind I did this with the UI and i've got everything mapped and working perfectly although it's controlling the AHDSR controls for the waveform gen. I can easily port those configs to a NEW set of objects (by hand)

Am I on the right track? Do you happen to know of a tutorial you have or something I can look at to guide me through Script Node? Thanks!

Check the HISE docs - https://docs.hise.audio/scriptnode/index.html

I don't know much about ScriptNode either but after you add macro controls to the network you should be able to connect to them from the interface designer. I think the documentation will probably guide you here.

@d-healey Thank you David!
