@ospfeigrp That seemed to do it, thanks.

For some reason that extra flag is not mentioned in the github readme. It looks like I'd have to use an old IPP installer someone else posted here to get that to work, unfortunately, since Intel changed everything.

Hopefully the developer figures out the best way to get things going with newer versions, because relying on third-party downloads of old software isn't the greatest. Or most reliable.

This is coming from the perspective of someone who's never had to deal with compiling from source just to tinker around with samples and put together instruments, to be fair, but I'm at my wit's end here. And pardon me if the title comes off as rude, I just feel frustrated.

Firstly is that the current 'release' of HISE is well out of date, which means, from what I read here, is that it's recommended to compile it from the scriptnode branch. Which is mentioned NOWHERE on HISE's website (except that it's recommended to compile it yourself, with NO mention of which branch to use...) or readme, by the way.

So I go put together the dependencies, which is also slightly unclear; the process isn't exactly lined out for the inexperienced. Apparently I have to put SDKs in tools/SDK or something. And then I install Visual Studio (2019 specifically, because I couldn't find 2017, which is what the JUCE included with HISE asks for? apparently?), though I'd love to avoid literally anything that forces me to sign in to continue using it, because I can't make heads or tails of how to compile it without that despite hours of searching.

And it has to 'retarget solution' or whatever, probably because I was trying to use 2019. Okay, I do that, and all I get are errors no matter what I try changing, so I've pretty much given up now. I can't help but think; are there any like... alternatives? I don't like Kontakt much (and it's a proprietary platform that I consider anti-consumer) and SFZ is relegated to text editors and a single player from Plogue that doesn't allow custom interfaces still.

I'd love to use HISE, but honestly, it's just the complete opposite of user-friendly so far. I haven't even been able to THINK about starting to use it yet, despite additional hours of trying to put things together (not including my search for alternatives to using Visual Studio), and everything documented is obscured - behind having to search this forum - at best, as far as I can tell.

Aside from alternatives for someone like me, is there something I'm missing that'd make my experience much easier, here?

EDIT:
Oh, and it seems that the install process for Intel Performance Primitives is different from what the readme is expecting. Because I ended up installing something called 'Intel OneAPI' or whatever, and selecting IPP from there. And most of the errors thrown at me in Visual Studio are from files titled 'ipp', so that might have something to do with it?

Nope! I was just mentioning I like the new version better. Unfortunately it just happens to break HISE's compatibility, for whatever reasons. @d-healey has probably had more luck than me, and he hasn't solved it either.

@Zorpley I think I like the new installer better, though I'm not sure what it changes that's incompatible with HISE, I don't know the smaller details.

I think the developer will get around to trying to fix it, because third-party downloads of old software are unreliable and sometimes pretty sketchy. It's unsustainable to continue relying on something like that. Of course scriptnode seems to come first for now, and that looks like a pretty cool feature, so...

@Christoph-Hart Will that 1234 key work with any project that can load an extension? Without changes? If that's what I want to be the case.

Nevermind, discovered it's under 'file'. Still learning my way around, that didn't work how I expected it to.
Time to do a little learning, thank you for the example.

@iamlamprey said in Tuning an EQ to MIDI note:
Sorry, how exactly do I use this? HISE is saying nothing compatible is in the clipboard when I copy it, even when selecting a modulator for a filter parameter. I've never had to paste one before.

Additionally selecting 'load script from clipboard' returns that "onControl( is not defined" and can't be parsed.

Just noticed - HISE still has an option 'export for HISE player' under 'export'.
Also 'ScriptNode Syntesiser' and 'Syntesizer Group' are misspelled.

Let's say I wanted a filter to take out the fundamental frequency of a sample. I assume the best way is to add a filter and tune it to the right frequency at 'note on', but the 'MIDI note' modulator is... pretty unhelpful. Not only can you not edit multiple 'notes' easily, it's too imprecise for a lot of tasks. And it'd be really slow going even if I could enter exact values.

What's my next best option? I'm not sure where to start with scripting. Or of the proper math of converting MIDI note # to frequency, but I could probably look that one up.

It also wouldn't work the way I want if filters aren't polyphonic, but they seem to be.

@d-healey Got it - I was just wondering if it was possible. Maybe one VST per 'type' of instrument that needs the same set of features is reasonable, too. Of course I can't dive headfirst and do everything I want at first, but I'm not a stranger to the learning curve of software development. It's just helpful in figuring out which direction I should take my learning.

@ospfeigrp I think I lined out what I'm curious about clearly enough; the state of HISE player specifically and whether something similar is possible from within HISE. Which is not on the download page, I was aware that there is a very-out-of-date release of the HISE editor. It's the scrapped version of HISE that worked a little bit like Kontakt where you load instrument libraries, not VST plugins.
