Just wanted to make a post to thank Christoph Hart for creating HISE. Like many other developers here, I started making sample libraries with Kontakt. I found a lot of success within this Engine and still have clients asking me to create Kontakt instruments, but I have lost a lot of passion for these projects. A friend at Spitfire actually recommended HISE to me a few months ago and I've been obsessed with learning about this incredibly versatile engine ever since. It has been a little difficult transitioning over, but it has been made significantly easier with the the built-in API reference tab, HISE documentation, active forum, and the many generous members of this community.
I plan to release my first commercial HISE-built product before the end of this month. My excitement for this release is far greater than any of my recent releases of Kontakt instruments. Thank you Christoph for creating HISE and helping me to rediscover my passion for developing sample instruments.
