Pretty sure this is some of what I'm experiencing here?

FWIW I get the exact same behavior in my projects in the scriptnode version with the AU/VST version of the editor.

Hey guys,

I was searching for a way to sync HISE to the host's playhead and came upon a post about modifying HISE source to un-comment some lines used for accomplishing this sort of thing in the hi-core main.cpp module. (originally from post: https://forum.hise.audio/topic/2307/the-things-we-all-want-to-see-in-hise-3-0/18).

void MainController::storePlayheadIntoDynamicObject(AudioPlayHead::CurrentPositionInfo &/*newPosition*/)
{
	//static const Identifier bpmId("bpm");
	//static const Identifier timeSigNumerator("timeSigNumerator");
	//static const Identifier timeSigDenominator("timeSigDenominator");
	//static const Identifier timeInSamples("timeInSamples");
	//static const Identifier timeInSeconds("timeInSeconds");
	//static const Identifier editOriginTime("editOriginTime");
	//static const Identifier ppqPosition("ppqPosition");
	//static const Identifier ppqPositionOfLastBarStart("ppqPositionOfLastBarStart");
	//static const Identifier frameRate("frameRate");
	//static const Identifier isPlaying("isPlaying");
	//static const Identifier isRecording("isRecording");
	//static const Identifier ppqLoopStart("ppqLoopStart");
	//static const Identifier ppqLoopEnd("ppqLoopEnd");
	//static const Identifier isLooping("isLooping");

	//ScopedLock sl(getLock());

	//hostInfo->setProperty(bpmId, newPosition.bpm);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(timeSigNumerator, newPosition.timeSigNumerator);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(timeSigDenominator, newPosition.timeSigDenominator);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(timeInSamples, newPosition.timeInSamples);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(timeInSeconds, newPosition.timeInSeconds);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(editOriginTime, newPosition.editOriginTime);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(ppqPosition, newPosition.ppqPosition);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(ppqPositionOfLastBarStart, newPosition.ppqPositionOfLastBarStart);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(frameRate, newPosition.frameRate);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(isPlaying, newPosition.isPlaying);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(isRecording, newPosition.isRecording);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(ppqLoopStart, newPosition.ppqLoopStart);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(ppqLoopEnd, newPosition.ppqLoopEnd);
	//hostInfo->setProperty(isLooping, newPosition.isLooping);
}

I made these specific changes, recompiled HISE without issue, and tested things out, but I've been unable to get this to work. I always get "undefined" as a result of calling Engine.getPlayhead().isPlaying, for instance (I've tried all the available functions though, and have uncommented them all). I've made these experiments in the AU/VST versions of HISE running inside Live, Logic, and Bitwig.

I looked around for other variables in the HISE code that could be preventing these features from working, but couldn't find anything obvious. Am I missing something obvious?

Having MIDI playback functionality without any transport sync is fairly useless for my purposes. Has anyone gotten this particular change to work, or is there another way I should be going about this?

Thanks in advance :)

That does the trick, thanks so much!
