Beginner: External cpp to Hise
-
Hey guys, please, dont get angry at me as i have absolutely no idea what i am doing :) :
I have 2 .cpp files from VS that a friend of mine sent to me. He was asking me to skin his little plugin, so i decided to give it a try via HISE. How would i do that?
Thank you so much
cheers

Without knowing the content of your 2 .cpp files it's almost impossible to give you reasonable advice :)
You will most likely need to create some wrapper code to create a node from this code that you can load in a Hardcoded FX module after compiling it, then you can "skin" it by creating an interface for it and export it.
-
i get that , now would it somehow be possible to do that with VS and compile it to an dll there so i can load it as hardcoded fx ?
-
@Ben-Catman yes that‘s precisely the workflow:
- create a HISE project
- create a Third party c++ node template
- export the DLL
- open the solution in VS, add your files, write the glue code and compile it
- load it in HISE and build the interface around it.
-
a i see. so i just create an empty project , third party c++ (which i have never done before tbh) node and export that as dll .. i will give that a try NOW haha
thx

@Ben-Catman if you manage to pull it off you have a glorious career in software development in front of you :)
-
You are right, so i doubt it tbh :)
Anyways i will stick to my roots and work on my synthesizer which goes pretty well, including faust dspThx so much haha..
