Latest Development Builds

Hi Levitanus and welcome to the Forum.

The fifth part of the tutorial is a bit dated and I heavily streamlined the compilation procedure since then.

Basically you just need Xcode / VS2015, the plugin SDKs and the complete repository of HISE (which now includes also the JUCE source code and the Projucer binary that is needed for compiling).

If you're on OS X, this is the current list of steps. If you're on Windows, the procedure should be almost the same - just replace "Xcode" with "Visual Studio 2015" :)

1. Get the tools

You’ll need:

Xcode / Visual Studio 2015 Community,
The source code of HISE: https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/archive/master.zip
The latest build of HISE which I’ve just uploaded here:
OS X: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7yazh959ksok9zv/HISE.zip?dl=0
Windows: tba (or you can build it yourself from the GitHub repo).

For legal reasons, I can’t supply the SDKs of the different plugin architectures (VST / AAX), so you need to download them and extract them in the specified subfolder after you extracted the HISE source. There is a Readme file in the subdirectory tools/SDK that explains every step needed to get the missing SDKs. If you want to skip this step for now, just select AU as export option (the AU files are included in JUCE).

2. Setup HISE

Then you’ll need to setup a few things inside HISE (I assume you have setup a project properly and created a user interface script):

Your Project Settings (File -> Settings -> Project Properties)

Project Name
Version
plugin code (something like ‚Abcd‘).

Your Company Settings (File -> Settings -> Company Properties)

Company Name
manufacture code (also something like ‚Abcd‘).

The compiler Settings (File -> Settings -> Compiler Properties)

point HISE to the folder where you downloaded the HISE repository
choose „Use IPP“: No (unless you have IPP already installed).

3. Export your preset

Now you should be able to export your instrument into any target (or just AU if you didn’t get the other SDKs) via File -> Export -> Export as Instrument. It'll open an terminal window and launch the compiler from there so you can watch it work :)

The compiled results should be available in the Binaries/Compiled subfolder of your project.

Let me know if this works for you.

Levitanus

Thank You for so informative answer!
Now another building problem:

I have installed juce from the build, then took source and copied it into the hise folder. The made path in the compiller settings

Christoph Hart

It seems that you haven't specified a Project folder. This is covered in the first part of the tutorial (last paragraph):

http://hise.audio/manual/Tutorial1.php

But thanks, I'll add a cleaner error message for this.

Levitanus

Christophб I've got it! I specified project folder not inside the porjects directory.

Levitanus

Sorry for my Noobism.
It seems projucer can't find juce modules inside the JUCE folder, I see them inside, but don't know how to locate them...

Levitanus

well, the next step:

#cmd

Can you post the AutogeneratedProject.jucer file (it's a XML)?

Christoph Hart

BTW, the project folder does not need to be in the HISE source folder (and maybe something is messing up the file paths because of this).

Levitanus

sorry, only now have access to computer)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ku86gpv3bo127w/AutogeneratedProject.jucer?dl=0
I've added personal paths to the packages inside the jucer

Christoph Hart

Have you used the latest build (not the one from the download page but compiled from Git?

It seems that you are using an old version which is using different settings for the HISE and the JUCE source paths (which I've streamlined recently).

Here is a recent build:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bfv2metds7vueqe/HISE Win.zip?dl=0

Try exporting again with this build (You might want to clean the Build directory via File -> Settings -> Clean Build Directory first).

Levitanus

Thank You! I built the hise.exe from project standalone and finelly it buils standalone app of the synth!
But now it can't find VSTSDK. I've downloaded it from steinberg and extracted to the SDK\VSTSDK (without extra "VST3***" folder)
Tryed different ways to unpack it, but still can't reach it...

Christoph Hart

You need this directory structure:

%HISE FOLDER%/tools/SDK/VST3 SDK/plugininterfaces
%HISE FOLDER%/tools/SDK/VST3 SDK/public.sdk

Don't be confused. You need the VST3 SDK folder, although it won't use the VST3 files, but the also included VST 2.4 files...

Levitanus

ahh, ok, thanks!
Hope, the last question in this thread :)
How to build hiseVST? I've tried plugin prohect, but it has exporter only for VS2013, and i haven't got it... VS15 can't compille the project, it seems, updating of project doesn't fix the problem.
Generally, i'm interesting how to setup correct routing in instrument, while working with more than stereopair in out. And it's the matter of interesting in the plugin.

Christoph Hart

Ah shoot, I forgot to update those. I'll fix this.

However the plugin is also just stereo out at the moment (I wanted to add a multichannel version of the plugin for some time, but it was never on my high priority list.

only hise editor-plugin or any plugin exported from hise?

Christoph Hart

Alright, I pushed the new plugin project for VS2015 (it had also AAX enabled by default, which is not so smart considering that most folks don't have the AAX SDK)...

Christoph Hart

only hise editor-plugin or any plugin exported from hise?

Currently neither. However this came up a few times before so maybe I'll just add support for it - it shouldn't be too hard to implement, the hard part was getting the internal routing multichannel capable...

Thanks! It would be grate. I see, d.Healey already has huge amount of micpositions in project, I'm hardly thinking about moving orchestral library project into hise, but even for personal usage always better to get different mics though the host routing and FX, neither leave it inside the plugin...

Well, I'm going to try finish little test instrument till the morning :) thanks for the response!!!
