Plugin hosting in HISE
-
Would it be possible to add a node that could allow a user to host another plugin within a HISE based app?
-
@d-healey HISEception?
-
Possible? Sure. Reasonable considering the amount of work making sure that all plugins work? No.
-
@Christoph-Hart @d-healey....what about being able to host other compiled HISE-based AU/VSTs? like rhapsody does...but for our own scenarios? So like if I've developed 3 different VSTs on my own and I want to build a container that basically can host my own developed plugins in there...I can think of a couple of ways to develop something like that but im sure it would be inefficient...this may already be possible...but just not in the way im thinking
-
@johnmike When you say "VST" what do you mean exactly?
-
@d-healey HISECEPTION!!!!
-
@clevername27 You did that one already
-
@d-healey NOW who's being inceptuous? 🥳
-
@johnmike just as simple as me being able to load my own developed vsts into a container of sorts...kinda like my own Kontakt...not as sophisticated...but just something I could use to house my in-house products in...
-
@johnmike A vst is one format of audio plugin, so do you mean vst or do you mean virtual instrument or something else?
-
@johnmike Do you want to sell instruments for your main base plugin? I think you can do that with expansions.
-
I have an idea( although I guess it is not possible OR difficult) .
Lets say I have a Synthesizer plugins. Later I develop an effect plugins. The synthesizer plugins will host that effect plugins. If this is possible it will be a revolutionary idea.The benefits:
-
I don't need to touch my Synthesizer if I want to update the effect plugin.
-
Dont need to touch Synth plugin If I Develop more effects plugins for it.
-
In Development perspective it will be easy.
-
From selling/ distributing point of view it will be easy.
-
If a user doesn't want he/she might exclude it rather handling full packs of effects plugins inside a Synthesizer that he/she doesn't want.

@DabDab well there's certainly room to explore this right now.

Now, how one would dynamically load a network from the script is a mystery. There are rumours of a secret Scriptnode API existing which allows for fully dynamic networks but it's likely not fleshed out.
