Wow! Thank you @Lindon @Christoph-Hart @clevername27 @ulrik @d-healey !! You guys are AWESOME!! I will give it another try with all of your suggestions and see how it goes and then report back. I'm so impressed with how supportive this community is! Thank you! Thank you!

I have now tested the plugins inside Logic Pro X, Cubase 12, Bitwig Studio 5 and GarageBand....they work perfectly in all these DAWS! This is so cool! :):smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@d-healey Ahhhh ok! I think I'm beginning to understand how this works now. Ok, I do remember seeing your YouTube video about how to build HISE... I just skipped it because I had just downloaded what was on the HISE website and already started using it to build my instrument. But I'm beginning to see the importance of it now! lol My goal now is to master doing that first before I do anything else.

@modularsamples Any ideas around Loris files not getting embedded into the final binary? Is there a workaround for this as well?

@modularsamples thank you so much! This is really helpful info! I’ll try doing that today!

@ElectroBlue I'm just trying to figure out how to use the Wavetable Synthesizer in HISE. It says that I need .hwt files in for it to work and that I can convert my sample map into that format, but the converter says that I need Loris installed in order to do that. And then something about .hwt files not getting embedded in your final binary? This is super confusing. Is there an easier way to make use of the Wavetable Synth? Like one that supports standard wave tables?

I'm trying to install loris but the docs just say to install it in the expected location? or the HISE "app data" directory? I can't find this directory anywhere and when I downloaded the Loris project from Github I see that there is a folder called "loris_library" ... is that what I'm looking for? The docs mention a DLL file, but I don't see that either. Can anyone help me to install Loris on Mac?

@ElectroBlue Also, is there a way to make a midi loop automatically play whenever you press a key on the midi keyboard? Like how the arpeggiator works.. this way I can just add an ON/Off button in the UI for the midi loop.

I just tried again and this time I got it to work by dragging the midi file from the macOS finder winder as opposed to the HISE project folder directory inside of HISE. Seems kind of odd for it not to work inside of HISE though.

I'm using HISE 3.6.0 and the Midi Player: midi file drag and drop is not working. I put a midi loop in the midi file folder of the project directory and then tried to drag and drop it into the Midi File Player's "drop zone" and nothing happens. I also tried dragging from the Mac OS finder ... still doesn't work.

@d-healey oh cool... I just put that on my "To Buy" list :). Thank you!

@bendurso thank you for this link. I read it and I’m wondering if anyone has actually added NKS support to their HISE instrument plugin? I have reached out to Native Instruments to get access to the NKS SDK. I had to sign an NDA first before they give me access and I’m still waiting to hear back. I know that you can make any VST work inside of Komplete Kontrol but that is like a work around for instruments without built-in support. I want to build the NKS support into my HISE instrument so the end user doesn’t have to do anything. Is that what the NKS SDK is all about?

The MPE support stuff in that thread is also very interesting to me. Is that built-in to HISE now as an effect… like instead of adding a mod wheel effect I would add an MPE effect? But I would need some type of MPE hardware controller to test it out? Does Logic Pro X have MPE support? Do you recommend any MPE controllers to purchase?

Can HISE get NKS support? Is that possible?
