Latest version of HISE breaks existing presets....

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart do you want a copy of my project to test with?

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon yes but please give me some guidance on what to look for. Also if you can dumb it down so I don't have to download gigabytes of samples, would be great.

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart I know its a long way back but if you look at the first three or so posts in this thread I think that does dumb it down , and explain exactly whats happening.... let me know if thats not enough, I can send the project without the samples - as Im pretty sure they wouldnt be needed to see this problem anyway....your call.

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon yes send over.

So your particular problem is that plugin parameters + macros + preset recall is not working (mastervolume +30 = 1.0 normalized)?

@Christoph-Hart When I open a project previously saved in a DAW using a plugin compiled with 2024 commit HISE (I only tried in Reaper and Logic on macOS), with the same plugin compiled with new HISE, the saved settings are not loaded in the DAW. The plugin is loaded with the default state.

[Christoph Hart]

@JulesV Are you using plugin parameters? And is this affecting only controls that are linked to plugin parameters or all values?

[JulesV]

@Christoph-Hart In the plugin, all controls are set to plugin parameters. Also most of them are set to isMetaParameter. And all controls are initializing with default values

yes that about sums it up - I will send it over...

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon Would it be possible that the single error that both you and @JulesV are experiencing is because of a drift between the plugin parameter value stored in the DAW project and the internal preset?

Whenever you save a DAW preset, it will

• create a .preset containing the plugin state (exactly as if you would save a user preset)
• store the values of all registered plugin parameters

and dump that into the binary data blob stored as DAW project.

In a "healthy" plugin, these values should not drift - the plugin parameter value is the value stored into the preset. But if there is a mismatch (either because of a new plugin parameter that wasn't stored or because of some initialisation error at startup, it might create these issues.

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart I think not. As this is showing up in HISE as well as compiled plugins.... see my posts at the start about using Console.print to tell me whats happening...
