    • Automatic Installer for Windows: Inno Setup Script

      Hello!

      I thought that maybe for some this Inno Setup script could be useful. It installs the plugin + samples automatically on the user's computer.

      It does the following:

      1. Asks the user where they have their VST3 plugins folder. {commoncf}\VST3 is selected by default, but the user can change it.
      2. It then asks where you want to install the samples.
      3. And finally it creates the LinkWindows file with the chosen location of the samples.

      (In this case I also added the file "AudioResources.dat" so that it is automatically installed in the userappdata folder)

      In this way, the user simply opens the plugin and already has everything configured.

      Paying attention to the * symbol at the end of the source file location because it includes the folders inside the selected folder. For example, inside the "D:\Downtown Grand Piano\Samples Folder*" location I have the folder called Downtown Grand Piano Samples. Inno Setup will include the folder inside “Samples Folder”, which is "Downtown Grand Piano Samples" (You can check the Inno Setup documentation if you need to understand this better.)
      Then the linkWindows file is autogenerated with the location chosen by the user + \Downtown Grand Piano Samples at the end.

      (I received help from GPT to automatically generate the linkWindows file, although it took me some time to make it work properly)

      [Files]
      Source: "D:\Downtown Grand Piano\AudioResources.dat"; DestDir: "{userappdata}\ZAK Sound\Downtown Grand Piano"; 
      Source: "D:\Downtown Grand Piano\VST3 File\*"; DestDir: "{code:GetVst3Directory}"; Flags: recursesubdirs
      Source: "D:\Downtown Grand Piano\Samples Folder\*"; DestDir: "{code:GetSampleDirectory}"; Flags: recursesubdirs createallsubdirs
      
      [Code]
      var
        Vst3DirectoryPage: TInputDirWizardPage;
        SampleDirectoryPage: TInputDirWizardPage;
      
      procedure InitializeWizard;
      begin
          SampleDirectoryPage := CreateInputDirPage(wpSelectDir, 'Select Samples Directory', 'Where would you like to install the samples?', 'Select the location where you want to install the samples (2.58GB). You can use an external drive if you have one.', False, '');
          SampleDirectoryPage.Add('');
          SampleDirectoryPage.Values[0] := ExpandConstant('{commoncf}\VST3\Downtown Grand Piano');
          
          Vst3DirectoryPage := CreateInputDirPage(wpSelectDir, 'Select VST3 Directory', 'Where would you like to install the VST3 file?', 'Select the default location of your VST3 plugins. In most cases, there is no need to make any changes.', False, 'Size: 29MB');
          Vst3DirectoryPage.Add('');
          Vst3DirectoryPage.Values[0] := ExpandConstant('{commoncf}\VST3');
      
       end;
      
      function GetVst3Directory(Param: String): String;
      begin
        Result := Vst3DirectoryPage.Values[0];
      end;
      
      function GetSampleDirectory(Param: String): String;
      begin
        Result := SampleDirectoryPage.Values[0];
      end;
      
      
      procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
      var
        LinkWindowsFilePath: string;
        LinkWindowsFileContent: string;
        SampleDirectory: string;
        BaseDirectory: string;
      begin
        if CurStep = ssInstall then
        begin
          BaseDirectory := ExpandConstant('{userappdata}\ZAK Sound\Downtown Grand Piano');
          ForceDirectories(BaseDirectory);
      
          LinkWindowsFilePath := BaseDirectory + '\LinkWindows';
          if FileExists(LinkWindowsFilePath) then
            DeleteFile(LinkWindowsFilePath);
      
          SampleDirectory := GetSampleDirectory('');
      
          LinkWindowsFileContent := SampleDirectory + '\Downtown Grand Piano Samples';
      
          SaveStringToFile(LinkWindowsFilePath, LinkWindowsFileContent, False);

      @bendurso Well, I just made my own svg paths for the waveforms. If someone needs them, here it goes:

      66,101,0,0
      

      They're SVG paths. So you can customize them within a panel :)

    • RE: Compiling macOS Components and VST3 Doesn't Put Them in the Project Folder

      @d-healey said in Compiling macOS Components and VST3 Doesn't Put Them in the Project Folder:

      In a recent commit of HISE Christoph removed the copy step so it should no longer be moving the plugin files automatically (although this might only apply on the latest MacOS version I'm not sure).

      I can confirm. I'm using Sonoma 14.3.1, and the compiled plugins are now located inside the project folder. That was a good surprise :)

    • RE: Parametric eq is not saved in Presets?

      @ThinkTank You have to add this:

      const var ParametriqEQ1 = Synth.getEffect("Parametriq EQ1");
      Engine.addModuleStateToUserPreset("Parametriq EQ1");
      

      (Replace ParametriqEQ1 with your real EQ name)

    • RE: Wavetable convertion?

      @bendurso I just realized that setting the Source Length to the same sample length (2048, I was using Automatic mode before) and enabling FLAC compression does the trick to obtain the same file as the example.

    • RE: Webview | Is it possible to call setIndexFile after initialization?

      @bendurso I came up with another solution that worked. First, I load an HTML page with a spinner, and then I use WebView.callFunction from the button to run a script that loads the actual page.

    • Webview | Is it possible to call setIndexFile after initialization?

      I'd like to set it with a button, but I get the error "Frame load interrupted."

      I'm trying this approach because I don't want the website to load every time the plugin opens — only when the user clicks a button.

    • RE: Expansions & Favourites

      @rzrsharpeprod Oh, sorry — you meant the 'search' function in the preset browser. Yeah, as far as I know, that's only available for selected expansions. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you could change the source code to make it possible.

    • RE: Expansions & Favourites

      @rzrsharpeprod He's using expansions.

      You can get the expansion list with Engine.getExpansionList, and set an expansion with Engine.setCurrentExpansion. So there's no need for the preset browser expansion selector.

      @xxx Yes, virtual machines are better if you have a fast Mac. I do have an $80 Windows laptop just for testing the plugin, but compiling HISE and the plugin on it takes ages.

    • RE: How to Store a String in a Preset for popupMenuItems Instead of a Numeric Value?

      @Lindon I was referring to a toggle option, like "Use strings instead of numeric values." So instead of looking for numbers, it would look for and save string values instead. This would only work when it’s enabled, so it won’t break any existing plugins.
      But it was just an idea; maybe it doesn’t really make sense.
