Feature request: extract XYZ data metadata

[griffinboy]

@griffinboy

Definitely a question for @Christoph-Hart this one!
Following on from our discussion about the XYZ data.

@griffinboy

Womp womp bump

[d.healey]

@griffinboy Ha you're impatient today

[griffinboy]

@d-healey

Yeah it's naughty of me

The timeline of this project I'm working on became really stretched, so now that I'm finally approaching the end I'm too excited to resolve the final barriers.

[Christoph Hart]

@griffinboy that's not so easy, the buffer that is passed with the ExternalData is already truncated with the sample-start and sample-end values. But why do you need this, just playback the part you want to play?

[griffinboy]

@Christoph-Hart

Wait, does the xfade get baked into the sound file then?

My client was hoping to take some sample maps that have already been created, and load them into a custom c++ sampler.

And then mess around with the loop points etc.

But if what you're saying is true, then I can't do that

@griffinboy @Christoph-Hart

[Christoph Hart]

Does your project really have different xfade values for samplemaps or can you just use a project wide constant for this?

[griffinboy]

@Christoph-Hart

I think we could maybe get away with having a default length.
Knowing the real loop start is important though, which I can't extract it seems

[Christoph Hart]

@griffinboy but the real loop start is correct in your first post, no?

[griffinboy]

@Christoph-Hart

Oh you're correct, because it's chopped off the start of the sample

[griffinboy]

@Christoph-Hart

Seperate but related question:

How does one load a samplemap (xyz) into a c++ node from hise script?
And can the hisescript read the sample map metadata?

I'm wanting the hise script to be able to read out the saved loop points, so that as we load in a samplemap into the c++ sampler node, we can set the loop point parameters correctly.

else I'll have to do a funny loop where we use global cables to send the loop points extracted from the xyz data inside the node, into hise, which then uses that info to set the parameters on the c++ node.

@Christoph-Hart

Bump! Sorry

[griffinboy]

@griffinboy
@Christoph-Hart
@DanH

Sorry to bother you! Important! : )

[Christoph Hart]

@griffinboy sorry I'm on vacation right now so my ability to write code is limited.

In order to load a sample map dynamically, you can use the {XYZ::SampleMap} wildcard, followed by the samplemap ID (without the .xml extension). So if your samplemap is called Piano.xml, then the string you pass into loadFile() is "{XYZ::SampleMap}Piano".

so that as we load in a samplemap into the c++ sampler node, we can set the loop point parameters correctly.

Remind me again, what's the problem with the loop points? They should be passed on correctly with the sample start applied to the range already, no?

[griffinboy]

@Christoph-Hart

edit This issue is solved. Read my message below this post.

okay the issue is that when we load a sample map into the c++ sampler, we need the Loop metadata to set the Loop Parameters of the c++ node.

Sure, I can just load in a sample map and internally use the loop values, the result will sound correct. However, the actual parameters will be in the wrong locations.

@Christoph-Hart

Update

You can forget it! Client decided that they didn't need this feature. Thanks for your help thus far. I no longer need to solve this!

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart client was me

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart is there a way to extract the volume info from sample maps for a c++ sampler?

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH Ideally it would be baked into the buffers directly but I don‘t think I‘m doing that already.
