Loris Install / HISE App Data Directory?

[ElectroBlue]

@ElectroBlue I'm just trying to figure out how to use the Wavetable Synthesizer in HISE. It says that I need .hwt files in for it to work and that I can convert my sample map into that format, but the converter says that I need Loris installed in order to do that. And then something about .hwt files not getting embedded in your final binary? This is super confusing. Is there an easier way to make use of the Wavetable Synth? Like one that supports standard wave tables?

I struggled a bit with this at first too. The data directory doesn't exist until you enable Loris in preferences.

1. Enable Loris in preferences
2. Quit HISE
3. Dowload the library here.
4. Copy loris_library_release.dylib to /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/HISE/loris_library/

Now when you restart HISE the wavetable converter should load. I haven't done much with wavetables in HISE myself, but the new Loris method looks a lot more user friendly, YMMV.

@modularsamples hey so is this only compatible with mac?

[d.healey]

@Adam_G No it works on all OS (the app data location is different depending on the system).

@d-healey ty David, i just saw the post from Christoph that he precompiled mac & pc versions.

@modularsamples thank you so much! This is really helpful info! I’ll try doing that today!

@modularsamples Any ideas around Loris files not getting embedded into the final binary? Is there a workaround for this as well?

Loris isnt used by the products you build - its there to help you build sounds/wavetable files

[d.healey]

@ElectroBlue You need to use a preprocessor definition. Be aware that you can only include loris in GPL projects.

What is the Windows location for loris_library_release.dll ? I have enabled
But didn't get folder where to put the binary.

[d.healey]

@DabDab I don't think you need to any more, Loris is built into HISE now.

[DabDab]

@d-healey Only for non commercial projects I can use it right ? since it is under GPL ?

[DabDab]

Can you tell me where is Resynthesis option ? I want to resynthesis my single cycle waveform in wavetable.

You can only include it in projects licensed under the GPL (commercial or not). But you can still use the output of it, wavetables for example, no matter what license.

I just follow the help info

[DabDab]

@d-healey But I am getting error from my single cycle waveform. here is the file. HP Saw_2.zip

If I use it to sampler HISE crashes. Wavetable saying resynthesis mode. But where is the mode. ?

[d.healey]

@DabDab I'm not sure, I haven't really worked much with wavetables
