HISE Plugin version no Sound Output

[d.healey]

Is there a particular reason you're using HISE as a plugin?

@d-healey I always use the standalone version, I only use the plugin version while sample editing and comparing sound and getting some idea of playing technique.

Interesting. I do this in the standalone version.

So what has changed between the last plugin version that worked for you and now?

[sakorada]

@d-healey it's been a while since I use plugin version (since hise 2 ) I’m not sure what's wrong and what had been changed.
Did you try and work on your end?

[d.healey]

@sakorada I haven't used the plugin version for years.

The last changes on the channels and buffer processing, and also HISE_BACKEND_AS_FX among other stuff broke many things (while improving others). It is the case for the audio inputs I enabled, and recently my outputs are broken as well.

I definitely think the more we advance in that direction, the more Hise should have a proper (or a more consistent, reliable, and easy to understand) way of setting the behaviour of the audio stream, in plugin version and standalone.

The plugin version is still nice for DSP stuff because it easily integrates in a DAW environment

@d-healey I'm working on some FX plugins and I need to use the plugin version to monitor incoming audio from my DAW. Do you know of anyway to do this within the standalone version? I've tried a looper but it requires me to hold a key down and I don't have a MIDI keyboard.

I only ask this here because there's a bug in the source code (or something on my end, whether using precompiled or building it myself) where it crashes REAPER. I posted here but haven't received an answer yet.

@ObsydianX Two solutions if you want to use it as standalone:

• Drop an audio file in the Hise Controller popup (DAW simulator)

• Create a dummy button on your interface that triggers a note for you so you don't have to continuously press a note

inline function ondummyNoteTriggeringBtnControl(component, value)
{
	if (value)
		Synth.addNoteOn(1, 60, 100, 0);
	else
		Synth.addNoteOff(1, 60, 0);
};

Content.getComponent("dummyNoteTriggeringBtn").setControlCallback(ondummyNoteTriggeringBtnControl);

@ustk said in HISE Plugin version no Sound Output:

• Drop an audio file in the Hise Controller popup (DAW simulator)

This worked great for me. It was literally the first thing I tried but for whatever reason when I tried it, the audio wasn't being affected by the FX. But now it is. Weird but it's working! Thanks so much.

@ObsydianX Yeah Christoph modified a few things related to buffer processing recently...
