I'm a complete beginner

[universe33]

I want to start making my own vst/au plugins.. is it hard?

[d.healey]

@universe33 Hello. It's easier than it used to be

To export a VST from HISE is pretty easy but the level of difficulty with building a project to export depends on what you want to make.

[universe33]

i want to make a simple rompler plugin (50 patches) with a few knobs

[d.healey]

@universe33 Should be pretty straightforward and require very little scripting. If scripting is new to you start by making a rompler with 1 patch and 1 knob and go from there.

[universe33]

Where do I learn all the scripting stuff? Is there a certain site or manual?

[d.healey]

The tutorials and documentation links at the top of this page are a good place to start - http://hise.audio/

I have more tutorials on YouTube too - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvr9isxq3sSbj-dcKPKyJZA

I'm also releasing tutorials on Patreon (link is in my signature)

[universe33]

Awesome i may join so i can start making plugins using Hize !
Willl you also be able to answer any questions i have when creating a vst

[d.healey]

@universe33 If I know the answer (or think I do) I will.

[universe33]

How do I add a knob? I pressed the edit button and now i'm pressing on the canvas but I don't see a menu that says "Create New Component"

[d.healey]

@universe33 Read all of the docs and follow all of the tutorials because this has definitely been answered in several places. You right click on the canvas and select add slider - but that won't get you very far by itself.

[universe33]

Hey, I am watching your videos and reading the manual. I am on a Mac, right-clicking but nothing pops up

[d.healey]

@universe33 Have you unlocked the canvas by clicking the little lock icon above the canvas?

[universe33]

Yep! Now I see a grid on the canvas

[universe33]

Still doesn't work when I right click for some reason

[d.healey]

@universe33 Could you make a video so I can see exactly what steps you are taking and what the result is?

@universe33 Hi, I have the same problem too. I have loaded the hise master and all the sdk's following D.Healeys tutorial AND i have used the .exe version. Ive tried it on both pc and mac and it doesnt ever let me rename the knob etc. I know its probably really simple answer but i just cant get past the first stage. I'm sure i had it working on another pc with an earlier version of Hise.

Did you ever figure out the solution?

Cheers

[d.healey]

@andrew could you make a video?

[andrew]

@d-healey Yes will do a video asasp David and thanks for the reply and your tutorial videos. Can I just confirm that you can use either the downloaded hise.exe OR the source build version demonstrated by your tutorial when coding?

I tried to build from source using visual studio 2019 but it threw errors at me so i used the hise.exe instead.

Thats the only possible thing i could think of.

Cheers

cheers
