would you be willing to even check it out?

What would you want me to do exactly?

Jaytove

honestly if you could just add the install button so that a browser opens the user finds the hr1 and have hise install it other than that id be open for sugestions, i dont know if your familar with the note repeat on stienberigs groove box or something like that its thre drum machine sampler it has a note repeat funciton i tried to dubplicate into my script but i could not get it to work so the idea is if you hold down say note 36 which whould be a closed hh with the note repeat function on 36 would contiune to repeat to the bmp know when you hit notes say 60 thru 73 on the keyboad the rythum would change from in increment s of 1/1, 1/2 1/2 t 1/4 1/4 t etc i tried to script it but no luck but other than that i have like 30 expansions already done and these a not just a few sounds theres thousands of sounds i mean thousdands but i understand if you wouldnt be intreseted just thought id ask

Jaytove

i could always send you a demo if you give me your email so you can check it out i have mac and windows both compilied

I think it's a better use of my time and your money if I show you how to do it. It would make a good topic for next month's Patreon video.

Jaytove

i would be so grateful you have no idea and the note repeat function is that caple to even do with hise the way i explained

David Healey

@Jaytove Almost certainly possible but not something I've done. Can you achieve it using the built in arpeggiator script, there is also a synced arp too https://forum.hise.audio/topic/9497/browsable-snippet-clocksynced-arpeggiator

i have tried thr arps note repeat etc but i could not achieve what i was trying to accomplish

@Jaytove

What was the problem with the arp?

stopRepeatTimer() This function is not needed, just call Synth.stopTimer() You don't need the repeatTimerRunning variable.

You don't need to stop and start the timer to update the rate, you can just call startTimer with the new rate while it's still running.

I also think the transportHandler might be useful here.

All this stuff should be a separate MIDI processor, not in your UI script which should be deferred.

for (var i = 0; i < 128; i++) // Smells like AI?

There was a coding puzzle on my Patreon page last year (or maybe the year before) to find the simplest way to determine if a note number was a black or white key, you might find that useful.

Jaytove

the midi note repeat was just just an idea i dont want to get lost i mostly care about having an install expansion button on my interface that will open a browser for the user to locate hr1 file and it installs from there you said some thing about showing me how to do to do this when would you avilabilty be ?

I'll post it for next month's video on Patreon.
