ERROR: Cycle inside a single target

@d-healey what even is VST2 ?? ,))) let me check how to disable it

[Morphoice]

@d-healey or enable VST3, that is. I thought it was on by default too, never bothered to check

[Morphoice]

@d-healey yeah well, now it fails on another message

damn. I wanted to be out for a beer an hour ago LOL

@Morphoice did you extract the SDK in the tools folder?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey aye it's all there

[d.healey]

@Morphoice you 100% definitely got the right folder structure?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey got all green ticks on the setup export wizard

[d.healey]

@Morphoice did you clean the build folder after enabling vst3?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey yes that too... it seems to be a problem with the SDK, i might have vst3 sdk stuff I downloaded from steinberg still in there... deleted everything and extracted the zip file in the tools folder again now it goes to the linking phase... taking a long time but I reckon it will work this time.

Yeah linking takes ages on MacOS

[Morphoice]

@d-healey @Christoph-Hart YESSS! Build successful, we finally got it.

Men, I owe you! That was a long birth, but a milestone for me. Made huge steps today, tThank you so much for your help and patience, I shall drink to you both now!!!

@d-healey btw the wavetable oscillators dont seem to do anything inside cubase... do the wavetables somehow have to be compiled into the project? only the noise oscillator seems to work

Can't help you here, I haven't used the wavetable or cubase.

[Morphoice]

@d-healey no worries, I'll figure it out

[Christoph Hart]

The handling of the wavetable files is a bit special, but the documentation of the Wavetable synthesiser module has actually some surprisingly useful information:

https://docs.hise.dev/hise-modules/sound-generators/list/wavetablesynth.html

Money quote:

The files will either be fetched from the AudioFiles folder, or can be distributed as a big monolith chunk that will reside in the Samples folder using the Export -> Export Wavetables as monolith option from the menu, so you can pick whatever distribution mode you prefer.

[Morphoice]

@Christoph-Hart so there is absolutely no way to hard-code even just a single cycle waveform into the binary?

@Christoph-Hart so there is absolutely no way to hard-code even just a single cycle waveform into the binary?

The quote from Christoph's post suggests that you can put the wavetable files in the AudioFiles folder and they will be compiled into the binary - same as you would do for audio loops or reverb impulses.

But then the docs go on to say "Be aware that the wavetables will not be embedded into the binary, so if you don't want to use the monolith format, you have to untick the Embed AudioFiles option in your project settings." - so I'm still confused.

[Morphoice]

@dannytaurus same here :)

[Straticah]

@Morphoice hey man same issue here. I had Xcode 15.4 + HISE 4.0 working without problems, now its not working anymore on Sequoia giving me the Cycle inside a single target error.

What was the fix you did?
