Is it possible to create a VST with the sampler being visible so the SFZ or samples can be imported and mapped directly in the plugin?

Thanks, I just compiled the latest Hise, this is now ok.

Still not perfect, for example:

While holding D3 and playing (legato also) G3 and A3 back and forth, it plays the G3 and A3 just for a millisecond, and again returns to D3 no matter you hold the G3 or A3 as well.

@Christoph-Hart Thank you very much Christoph. This works great, there is only one problem, let's say you hold C2 and add G2, then release C2 while still holding the G2, then after you let go the G2 as well it is still on.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a (from a user perspective) relatively simple mono portamento which will have a button, combo box, and a slider.
Let me try...

The button will turn mono on and off, the slider will change the time for the portamento glide between the initial note that stays on and the notes played after, while the combo box will select one of the three options for the glide:

• Mono legato (it will always glide the initial note to all the notes activated after while holding the initial note - the result will be always gliding by pitching the initial note all over the place)
• Standard mono (it will always re-trigger the next note and glide it to it while holding the initial note - the result will be always pitching to the active note from the previous)
• Crossfade (it will start with both notes active, however the glide from first to second will start with pitching the first note half way, then crossfade it to the second note pitching to its default value).

1. Is this even possible in Hise?

2. How to create it? Only with the script processor, or it must be done with the Pitch Modulation?

@d-healey Thanks David.

I would like to make 3 sliders, all to control the input midi velocity:

Slider 1: Increase/Decrease (this slider moves the input velocity values for a certain amount, up or dow)
This means that the midi velocity that enters the Sampler gets changed so the sampler triggers a different velocity layer/different sample

Slider 2: Compress/Decompress (this will move velocity values apart from the middle position)
Middle position is by default 64, so if compressed then every midi velocity value below and above 64 will get closer to 64, and if decompressed the values will go in the opposite direction

Slider 3: This slider will move the middle position from 64 up and down (this will change which input midi velocities go up or down when compressing and decompressing)

First is this possible, then how the script should look?

@d-healey

Thanks David, this is actually my solution to this problem, I will have two sets 8+8 of VSTs loaded, so the first 8 will play the active style while the other 8 will be in stand by mode waiting for the next style to play instantly.
The same with the real time tracks played with the right hand, there will be 4+4 VSTs, first 4 active and another 4 waiting for a patch to change, so you can still hold the key and hear the active patch, for example Saxophone, while calling up the next patch, so after you let go the key the first 4 VSTs go offline and the second group plays further without any interruption.
I hope this translates well enough in English.

@Christoph-Hart

Thanks Christoph, this is very useful.

I use RR in my presets to add realism , but I do not see how I could use it to load all GM library this way, every patch uses different set of filters, envelopes, and other settings. but it sounds very interesting as a workaround. Am I missing something?

@Christoph-Hart Thanks Christoph, I already tried that, 64 is enough for what I need. I also set the preload size to 8, and it still takes almost the same time to do the preloading.
The memory consumption is ok, but the time needed for all sample maps to load is crucial for what I want to make, let me explain.

What I want to make is something like Kontakt Bank, where 128 patches/instruments are loaded and then PC messages simply change which patch is playing.
Each bank is connected to only one midi channel, so with Kontat I would need 20 banks for 20 midi channels I have.
Kontakt changes from patch to patch instantly, however with my VST sampler the presets need maybe 200-300 ms to load, which is really not a problem in most cases, but I am building a sampler for a real time arranger so every millisecond counts.

Maybe I am not doing it properly. My VST has 10 samplers inside, so I use 20 VST instances to get the multi-timbral 20 midi channel setup.
Will it have more sense to create one VST with 200 samplers instead, and then route the midi channels, and change the PC/presets internally?

This seems overly complicated to build, does HISE even support PC messages after all?

I noticed that this takes some time, not a lot however for my project where I use up to 20 instances of the instrument it adds up and I would like to make it as fast as possible.

Is there any way to make the sample maps load faster? What does take the time, loading the map or the samples?
I tried to set the buffering and preload size for each sampler smaller, however it still shows the spinning wheel while loading.

@alfaholic So, here is how I tried to do it:

Combo box shows correctly the banks filtered, however the sampler does not follow this.
Basically, if I set the fifth Sample Map in bank 005 the sampler sets the fifth Sample Map in the folder, which is basically bank 001.

What I am doing wrong?
