It was that certificate that needed the permission change that was the block.

Honestly thank you so much to all of youf or your help I'm going to put together a post later this week step by step on what I had to do to get it working just incase anyone does face the same issues and at least then it summarised in one central location

JamesC

@dannytaurus so just to update on this it was clearly a UI issue as all sound function were working, so after going through part by part it is filter displays that trigger this behavior for me when using more than 1 sampler in a project at this time.

JamesC

@iamlamprey I unplugged all midi devices and then plugged them back in and haven't seen any issue since so bit odd but solved thanks for the help!

JamesC

@d-healey Seeing it and what its actually doing makes so much more sense now, thanks so much again for brilliant video!

JamesC

@DanH cheers for that the AI heavily judged me for not quite having the correct type of certificate and I was able so far to successfully sign the things!

@d-healey thanks for your advice of doing it manually first so everythigns in place solid as always!

JamesC

@JamesC @d-healey as predicted I missed a step, thanks so much for the videos that you have put out there, should have started with them!

Hey everyone,

After my question yesterday I wanted to share a the script I’ve been working on. Would love to hear thoughts on updates as to whether this is the most sensible approach. Particular mention should go to @David-Healey whose original XY Pad videos sent me down the rabbit whole with this and did a lot of the heavy lifting!

Overall it’s an XY Pad that supports:

Manual user control via mouse or XY knobs
Optional motion driven by a simple sine-wave “LFO”
Adjustable motion speed
Fully modular and easy to extend

The idea is that you can move the XY pad automatically, but still allow the user to take manual control at any time.

Features

btnMotion: toggle automatic motion on/off
knbMotionSpeed: adjust the speed of the motion
Motion is applied as a small offset on top of the manual X/Y position
Gains are mapped from the XY pad to two gain modules, with scaling

How it works

baseX/baseY store the manual (user) position
lfoX/lfoY store motion offsets generated by the LFO
updateXY() combines base + motion values and clamps them 0–1
LFO speed is multiplied by motionSpeed for easy adjustment

@JamesC So for those interested this is how I solved it in the end with a bit of AI help:

inline function onxypadControl(component, value)
{
	local x = component.data.x;
	local y = component.data.y;
	
	local gainX = -40 + (60 * x);
	local gainY = -40 + (60 * (1 - y));
	
	gains1[0].setAttribute(gains1[0].GainValue, gainX);
	gains1[1].setAttribute(gains1[1].GainValue, gainY);
	
	gains2[0].setAttribute(gains2[0].GainValue, gainX);
	gains2[1].setAttribute(gains2[1].GainValue, gainY);
	
	knbxy[0].setValue(x);
	knbxy[1].setValue(y);
	
	component.repaint();
	
}

@David-Healey Ah yes ok this makes sense thanks so much

JamesC

@David-Healey SO jsut so I can check I've got this right...

Go into export and export pooled files to binary resource.

Then at this point do I delete the audio files int the audio files folder and replace with the .dat before I compile? or leave everything where it is?

JamesC

@David-Healey ah ok so essentially revert to having a sampler instead, or audio wave form and let users load in the audio or their own audio also?

If that second option is the case, using a preset browser can users save the presets witht he adio they've uploaded priiding the fodler is kept consistent?

JamesC

@David-Healey Odd so I started doing that and each time nothing worked. Then I switched to removing audio files out of the folder. If I go over 20 audio files to embed thats whats causes the clang error.

So I wonder what the work arounds are to having large amounts of embedded audio files, in this current project there are 154 audio files that are used in this plugin.

JamesC

@David-Healey SO rolled back as far as I can on this machine same errors. Its odd as other plugins exporting fine.

This one relies on audio loop players and embedded audio files is this another possible cause of the issue?

Thanks

JamesC

@David-Healey Thanks will try that next

Morning all

For the first time in a few projects I've an error on the mac side of compiling a vst instrument and wondered if anyone had any info/pointers as to what is the issue:

[ARCHIVE 0 - Shared Code] Compiling PresetData.cpp
clang: error: unable to execute command: Killed: 9
clang: error: clang frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)

I'm on a silicon mac Sequoia15.7.4 running the latest commit xcode 16.4

Windows side absolutely nice issue when compiling the vst

JamesC

JamesC

@xm4ddy Thanks for this I will have to drop it in and see how it works. Plenty to learn still!
