VST3 Plugin not readable
-
Extremely now, i'm compiling on Visual Studio 2026 (release)
Plugin works in HISE, when i export and load the .vst3 on Live or Cubase it says not readable.
I'm completely at a loss and i have a deadline in 3 days.
What could be the issue? -
-
The deadline is for an exam, but it's really a basic compressor.
I did not test it in reaper because i don''t have it.
I built it by following your series on YT (You are a savior) and it works perfectly while inside the HISE framework. I exported it following your guide but it doesnt seem to work.

You are exporting as an effect?
Does a minimal test project work?
Are you using faust/scriptnode?

@MicheleBonventre Hello, i am download reaper as i type this message. Of course i exported as FX, i dont know what a minimal test project is, and i built the plugin using scriptnodes, but not faust

While installing reaper i got this error

translated: HISE x64.dll is not made for usage with Windows or it contains an error. Try to reinstall yadda yadda yadda

@MicheleBonventre Minimal test project means make a new project, add one effect to it, like a filter, and export it and see if it works. If it does then add a scriptnode effect to it, test and see if it works, build it up gradually to get as close to your actual project as possible, at some point it should stop working and that will tell you where the problem lies.

I suspect this could be AVX related.
Which version of Windows are you using? Which CPU? Are you using the latest commit of HISE?
-
@David-Healey yes i am using the latest build of HISE, and Windows 10 is 64 bit based on x64 AMD CPU. What is interesting is that, at one point, the FX was correctly being imported and opened in DAW, but it was nonfunctional (the knobs didn't change anything). I tweaked it and made it functional and it would not load anymore in Live or Cubase.
-
@MicheleBonventre Try a minimal project and see if that works.
-
@David-Healey Ok i built a minimal compressor with minimal interface and it works perfectly, even when exported. My question now is what do i have to remove from my original VST to make it work.

Start by adding your scriptnode network to your minimal project. Compile it, and see if it works. If it does then we know the network is not the problem.
