Rompler with external sound bank

OK lets be clear...
@MisterCluster said in Rompler with external sound bank:
I'm new to Hise so sorry if the question is silly, but is it possible to create a rompler where the user can load the sounds from the UI?
Yes, the user can load any sound you ship with the product - sounds are loaded using a thing called a sample map - these get compiled into the product when you release it. The sounds themselves are shipped separately(by you) and the user gets to decide where on their computer they want to store these...
I'd like to create an empty rompler where the user will be able to put its sound files anywhere on his computer. When he chose to load a sound from the UI, he'll get the sound with its custom UI loaded. Just like Kontakt and Halion.
If you mean you would like to build an empty ROMpler where the user can drop any of their own sounds onto it and play those, then no - HISE isnt designed to do that - it's an environment for building sample based virtual instruments.
Is it possible to create something like this in Hise Sampler?
-
Ah I see, if the sounds have to be predefined in the rompler before being loaded, then it won't work because I don't know what type of sounds with their custom UI I'll do in the future.
I had hopes that it could be possible using some kind of expansion system.
Then I think Hise is in need of a player, I'm sure it would bring more people in if you could just create the instruments and the end-users would just load them in the player.
-
if you could just create the instruments and the end-users would just load them in the player.
You'd only need one player and HISE would vanish in a puff of self created obsolescence.

Hise includes an expansion system. You can create a product - say a two voice instrument with a range of filters and effects - and ship it with (say) a few hundred "sounds". If you have designed it correctly then you can later ship the user a set of extensions - each including a number of sounds and presets.
You can even ship additional code and images (to reskin your product) with these extensions.

Why? I genuinely don't understand, if it's good for Kontakt, why it wouldn't be good for Hise?

So if I follow you correctly the expansions can be presets + custom UI but not samples + custom UI.
By the way, thank you guys for taking the time to answer my questions!

Kontakt is an end user application, HISE is a tool for developing plugins.

Yes it can contain samples. It's essentially a mini HISE project. But you still have to predefine the samples. There is no way (as far as I'm aware) to make a HISE plugin that the user can just drop any samples into.

I thought it was possible because Hexeract allows the user to import samples and it's based on Hise.
Is there a file format that the end-user can load in the Hise sampler made plugin that allows the importation of both samples+custom UI "instruments"?
Again, I'm sorry if my question sounds silly, I've gone through the tutorials on the website and not much else.
The expansion system really confuses me!

Does it allow the user to load in an entire sample set or just individual samples?
It is possible to load individual sounds in via the Audio File Player module.
-
@d-healey If I remember well, you can load one-shot samples in each layer. So no multi as far as I know. I could be wrong though.
-
@MisterCluster I would assume it is using a single audio file player for each layer then
