      Yes there are a few ways. The best is probably to use the built in flags at the top of the c++ node. But you can do custom detection too, which I sometimes use if I need specific behaviour.

      You'll probably want to optimise the nodes in the first place, I see you've got all the random example scripts (smooth gain ect) that aren't super necessary for your use case. I can give you a more simple template if you want one.

      I intend to go back and cover this c++ node stuff better and in more detail but I'm short on time currently. I will be releasing a proper template in the future, with a lightweight library to go along with it, containing efficient approximations of math functions (rather useful for your bitcrusher script), automatic lookuptable creation, and hopefully some tools for SIMD.

      And yes - you are progressing really quickly! I get the feeling that you are going to do really well. I don't think I'll have a plugin released until at least two years time 🤦 Too much perfectionism

        @griffinboy thanks man! a simpler template would be awesome, I also figured It would make sense to do the calculations only if samples[i] isnt zero, that should take most of the load in my case.

          Yep that makes sense, since you don't need to process the zero crossings for your effect.

          Here's a more up to date version of the template. You'll have to wait until I've got time, for me to release the official version of this, which will have many more improvements

              thanks so much! I'll use this wisely to make new nodes ;))

                @griffinboy btw just tried compiling the node on PC but that didnt work at all it's throwing a ton of errors. you wont happen to have any idea what I did wrong?

                  it compiles on my end.
                  Did you make sure to name the .h file as follows:

                  muLawBitCrusher.h
                  

                  The c++ file always needs to share the same name as the node.
                  Also by the way, your effect has a heck ton of aliasing.

                  Edit: *facepalm, aliasing is the point, please ignore me lol

                    @griffinboy ;-))) yes it's named correctly, the VS compiler seems to take offense of my sgn function I got off the webs which is weird as it works fine on mac

                    template <typename T> int sgn(T val) {
                            return (T(0) < val) - (val < T(0));
                        }

                      Yeah it works on my machine... try a fresh hise project.
                      You could also always try recompiling the latest hise.
                      If those two things don't fix it, then it's a tricky one

                        @griffinboy i'm getting rid of that template thing for that stupid sign function, which is a syntax beyond my c++ knowledge

                        this should work too, at least on mac it compiles fine, gotta try on the pc later

                                                // mu-law compress signal
                                                int max      = 255;
                                                int sign     = (0 < val) - (val < 0);
                                                float valmu  = sign * log( 1.0f + max * abs(val) ) / log( 1.0f + max);
                                                
                                                // Quantize to 8 bits
                                                float valmu8 = valmu - fmodf(valmu, 1.0f / max);
                                                
                                                // mu-law expand signal
                                                float valex = sign * (1.0f / max) * ( pow(max + 1.0f, abs(valmu8)) - 1.0f );

                          @griffinboy on second thought sign probably only needs to calculate once and should be the same on compressing and expanding a sample so even more calculations can be avoided

                            @griffinboy said in template or tutorial for custom c++ scriptnode?:

                            @Morphoice Did a small fix there was an error in the template

                                Doesn't even need to be used once. There are approximations or lookup tables that can be used.
