Engine.getPlayHead() Examples?

[Natan]

Hey folks
Hope all are doing well

I Just searched the forum, But there is not Much information About how to use
Engine.getPlayHead() In A Script.

I'm trying to add this to A Plugin To Stop Some of the modules, once DAW Stopped.

Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

Okey i Found this

I'd also like to be able to get some feedback from the DAW about start/stop transport state.

You can do this right now if you don't want to wait for v3.0.
in HISE source code hi_core/MainController.cpp, un-comment the features you need.

void MainController::storePlayheadIntoDynamicObject(AudioPlayHead::CurrentPositionInfo &/*newPosition*/)
{
	//static const Identifier bpmId("bpm");
	//static const Identifier timeSigNumerator("timeSigNumerator");
	//static const Identifier timeSigDenominator("timeSigDenominator");
	//static const Identifier timeInSamples("timeInSamples");
	//static const Identifier timeInSeconds("timeInSeconds");
	//static const Identifier editOriginTime("editOriginTime");
	//static const Identifier ppqPosition("ppqPosition");
	//static const Identifier ppqPositionOfLastBarStart("ppqPositionOfLastBarStart");
	//static const Identifier frameRate("frameRate");
	//static const Identifier isPlaying("isPlaying");
	//static const Identifier isRecording("isRecording");
	//static const Identifier ppqLoopStart("ppqLoopStart");
	//static const Identifier ppqLoopEnd("ppqLoopEnd");
	//static const Identifier isLooping("isLooping");

	//ScopedLock sl(getLock());

	//hostInfo->setProperty(bpmId, newPosition.bpm);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(timeSigNumerator, newPosition.timeSigNumerator);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(timeSigDenominator, newPosition.timeSigDenominator);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(timeInSamples, newPosition.timeInSamples);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(timeInSeconds, newPosition.timeInSeconds);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(editOriginTime, newPosition.editOriginTime);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(ppqPosition, newPosition.ppqPosition);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(ppqPositionOfLastBarStart, newPosition.ppqPositionOfLastBarStart);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(frameRate, newPosition.frameRate);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(isPlaying, newPosition.isPlaying);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(isRecording, newPosition.isRecording);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(ppqLoopStart, newPosition.ppqLoopStart);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(ppqLoopEnd, newPosition.ppqLoopEnd);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(isLooping, newPosition.isLooping);
}

These extend the Playhed functionality. For instance:

Engine.getPlayHead().isPlaying

So I need to comment out Some of the lines in Source code to Make this Working Right?

Can someone Help with The lines that I Need to Make the plugin Look At The Playing Transport Of Host, and And once It Stopped What I Could I Supposed to Use?

Thank You

[Natan]

Okay I'm Uncommented These Lines:

/*newPosition*/
//static const Identifier isPlaying("isPlaying");
//ScopedLock sl(getLock());
//hostInfo->setProperty(isPlaying, newPosition.isPlaying);

Compiled Succefully.
And...

Is This the Way I Can Recall The Playhead?
Example:

if(Engine.getPlayHead().isPlaying )
{
// Some Codes Here  	 
      }

Thanks

Okey, I Connected The Play Head to A Simple Gain Module To Check If It Works Correctly:

But Not Sure No Idea if This is Correct Or Not:

    if(Engine.getPlayHead().isPlaying )
        {
        PlayHead.setBypassed(1);
        }
        else
        {
        PlayHead.setBypassed(0); 
        }

Any Help Is such Appreciated

Use the TransportHandler I've added a few hours ago.

@Christoph-Hart Thank you Christoph God bless you man
Recompiling Now

Christoph, Do you have a minimal Example Of How to Enable/Disable A Module Based on DAW TransportHandler?
Thank in advance

@Christoph-Hart
Excellent job I Found how

@Christoph-Hart Can we now use the gain modulator without latency or mess problem? to create a sidechain effect for example?

[DanH]

@Natan Can we use this to get LFOs in sync with FX Plugins?

[Natan]

@DanH I Used this for My Graphic Ideas
Not Sure if this can help to sync The LFO Latency
