Re-Order FX

[ulrik]

@DanH Yes, that was a long time ago, I remember spending a lot of hours to make that work, but I didn't find it stable to work with the swap function so I gave up (maybe it was me not doing it the right way)
However a new project I'm working with has the same function (with Effect slots) loading hardcoded fx scriptnode dll's, but I scripted my own swap function, and it seems to work nicely (so far...)

I have, just as @HISEnberg described, a massive JSON for all the effects, to make it work dynamically and it also involve timers to update changes when changing the order

@DanH I can't even get them to reorder in the node tree, how would I ever do that in a GUI ;))))

[Morphoice]

@ulrik you guys are wizards! this is brilliant!

[d.healey]

@DanH What we did with Mndala is we added effects slots and then on the UI let the user click on a panel to choose which effect is loaded into which slot. We didn't add drag/drop but since panels can be dragged around it should be possible.

[DanH]

@d-healey can I see this in action anywhere to get an idea?

[d.healey]

@DanH Download Mndala, I think they have some free instruments - https://www.mntra.io/, https://www.mntra.io/shoppe/#free

[DanH]

@ulrik Thanks! This looks pretty much what I'm looking to do. How do you handle automation lane creation / naming?

[ulrik]

@DanH I have already attached knobs/buttons for all parameters, (the components are also inside the "big" json for each effect, and they will stay the same when re-ordering the effects so...
you can do as you do with any other fx/instrument

I can't remember it was several years ago that I wrote it and I haven't looked at the code in a long time...

[DanH]

@ulrik Yes that makes sense.

[ulrik]

@DanH Do you know if it's possible to have automation names instead of numbers showing the value, like if I chose to have a synced delay and want to display the note value names instead of numbers in the host automation lane, like:
1/1, 1/8 1/16T etc...?

[DanH]

@ulrik I see it in other VSTs, so yes! But I don't know how... And it probably needs @Christoph-Hart to implement it into Hise...

true

[DanH]

@ulrik out of interest how does your FreqShifter work? I'm about to look into creating one of those...

[ulrik]

@DanH Oh it's the Faust version from somewhere around here on the forum, not the best I think.
Planning to upgrade all effects step by step, going slowly forward using scriptnode, faust and rnbo
If you have any tip where to dig I'm an eager listener

[DanH]

@ulrik good thread here with a link to a c++ library to get started

[ulrik]

@ulrik sorry wrong of me, this FreqShifter is a RNBO patch (I've been testing a lot and this one sounded better than the Faust version from here.
It would be nice to have a real good sounding scriptnode version (SNEX maybe) in Hise though...

[DanH]

@ulrik ah cool. Had a quick look already on RNBO but cldn't see it?

@clumsybear had a go at one in Snex. Seems rather cpu heavy!

@DanH thanks! I'll check it out
