AudioLoopPlayer: how to fetch loopstart and loopend

toxonic

and one more...! ;-) when i have an AudioLoopPlayer added to my chain, i can load new loops into it as well as editing the start and end of the loop with the AudioWaveform directly via the main interface. now i want to get the sampleaccurate position of loopstart and loopend, but there seems to be no method for it. when i change these values with the AudioWaveform, the info panel in the upper right corner of HISE shows me the actual sample for loopstart and loop end, so there must be a way to fetch these values, no?

@Christoph-Hart said in How can I create an interface for Start-/EndLoop of Audio Loop Player?:

There are two ways:

Create a AudioWaveform, connect it to the looper module and drag the sample edges to set the range.
Create a AudioSampleProcessor reference to a looper using Synth.getAudioSampleProcessor("LooperID") and use its method setSampleRange(startSample, endSample).

Check this example (you need to load an audio file in the looper to see how it works):

@dustbro
yeah, thats amazing! 1000 thanks! :-)
this idea could have come to me as well, since i recently had a similar issue with parameters with a sampler, which i referenced with "getChildSynth" instead of "getSampler". anyway, thank you very much again! :-)

@dustbro
edit: sorry, i was too euphoric, so i didn' see, that this was not the subjet of my question.... this was a missunderstanding.... :-/ i already referenced it as AusioSampleProcessor, but what i wanted was to get the values for start and end, which i assigned via AudioWaveForm (which i couldn't find a method for), not to set them.

ps:
in the meanwhile i thought about a workaround: i presumed, that the AudioWaveForm itself would maybe spit out values for the set start and end (maybe between 0 an 1, which i could then multiply with the value of "AudioLoopPlayer.getSampleLength".

i thought the following callback function would print some meaningful value or at least a message [array], because i expected the AudioWaveForm to produce at least 2 values (for loop start and end)

inline function onAudioWaveform1Control(component, value)
{
	Console.print("AudioWaveForm: "+value);
};

Content.getComponent("AudioWaveform1").setControlCallback(onAudioWaveform1Control);

but i doesn't. it only spit out a 0 immediately after compilation, changing the values of the AudioWaveForm doesn't trigger the callback and no values get printed in the console (..while it does with a knob for example).
ideas?

toxonic

to clearify what i wanna do:
my idea was to store different ranges of a drumloop and then assign these different ranges to single notes in order to dynamically rearrange the loop, similar like a loopslicing.
it would be possible to set start and end points of the ranges via knobs, but that would be a quite loveless workaround, since you already have this feature implemented in the AudioWaveForm widget.

toxonic

okay, i broke with the idea using a panel instead of using X sliderpacks for storing data of X widgets, which is much easier to handle for my gains at this point. still feel free to give me suggestions, if there's a more graceful solution for that! ;-)

ustk

@toxonic panel and sliderpack are the way to go when you need to store data.
However in your situation, why don't you just use an array containing all your start/end values?
Will they change from the combination you already defined?

@ustk
good god... after sitting hour over hour in front of HISE yesterday, i seem to become completely dull in my head, so that i mixed up 2 of my own topics in the forum. :-/ my last post doesn't belong in this topic, but however: yeah, i used an array before, but the problem is, that the data won't be stored persitentliy, so each time i compile or restart HISE the data in the array gets lost.

at this point i want to refer to my first post in this topic (after i managed it now to completely mess up two different topics)! :-)

toxonic

after tinkering around with different widgets, i found a workaround in order to get the start and end samples of a looprange:
i used a slider in "range" mode as child widget of an AudioWafeform widget and adjusted it's size corresponding to it. i set the max level of the slider using the "getSampleLength" method of the AudioLoopPlayer.
Here's a snippet.

You have to load a Loop into the AudioLoopPlayer in order to get it working, and then compile.
Somehow annoying is now, that i'm not able to load a loop via the interface, since the slider is now layered above the AudioWafeform widget. Is someone out there with a good idea, to get this to work?

toxonic

it would also be possible to load loops via

AudioSampleProcessor.setFile(String fileName)

but then i needed a kind of file browser / open panel for selcting a file and getting it's filepath.

referring to this old thread, a file browser once existed - what happend to it? i cannot find something like this within HISE. any ideas?
