Problem with vu meter in fx plugin (Solved)

[ulrik]

I'm working on a midi controlled fx plugin using 10 "FX Slots" and to test it while developing I have a sine generator inside it,

when I compile it for testing in daws I just remove the generator and move the Slots and attach them to the main container.

I open it as an "au midi-controlled effect" in Logic and route the audio tracks to the plugin and it works great.

Now I have implemented a VU meter, I'm using a modified version of Christophs VU meter, and in Hise it works fine but compiled it doesn't work at all.
What can I have made wrong?
Any hints are appreciated.

@ulrik I also tried to load Hise, as a plugin, in Logic and develop from there, but you can't get audio in to Hise as I understand it, I can only load Hise as an instrument in Logic

@ulrik

the VU meter script picks up the signal using this code:

if(this.data.fx)
			{
				lvalue = getNormalizedPeakValue(this.data.fx.getCurrentLevel(0));
				rvalue = getNormalizedPeakValue(this.data.fx.getCurrentLevel(1));
			}
			else
			{
				lvalue = getNormalizedPeakValue(Engine.getMasterPeakLevel(0));
				rvalue = getNormalizedPeakValue(Engine.getMasterPeakLevel(1));
			}

@ulrik Have you used ENABLE_ALL_PEAK_METERS=1 extra definition in Hise settings?

[ulrik]

@orange yes

@orange the VU meter works with a sine wave generator but as soon as I remove the generator the vu fails

@ulrik Stupid me, I forgot to:

inline function setModule(vuMeter, module)
	{
		vuMeter.data.fx = module;
	}

VuMeter.setModule(VuMeter.outputMeter, Synth.getEffect("MasterOut"));

Now it's working, sorry for this thread, you can delete it
