@Lindon I was referring to a toggle option, like "Use strings instead of numeric values." So instead of looking for numbers, it would look for and save string values instead. This would only work when it’s enabled, so it won’t break any existing plugins.
But it was just an idea; maybe it doesn’t really make sense.

RE: CPU usage difference for Windows and Mac (FX Plugin)
@obolig Are you using convolution reverb? Do you have IPP activated on Windows?

RE: How to Store a String in a Preset for popupMenuItems Instead of a Numeric Value?
@Lindon @d-healey Thanks guys. Yeah, saving it into a combobox or panel looks like a bad idea. Using a label to remember the selection worked for me.
I don't know if it makes sense to make a request in Hise to store Strings as an option in comboboxes or panels, in adittion to numbers.

@d-healey I want to include samplemaps from other expansions, and is possible :)

RE: How to Store a String in a Preset for popupMenuItems Instead of a Numeric Value?
@d-healey I want to store the selected expansion. And I don't know how many expansions have the user installed, so the number value won't work.

How to Store a String in a Preset for popupMenuItems Instead of a Numeric Value?
I want to save the selected item’s string (name) in a preset rather than its numeric index value from a panel’s popup menu. How can I achieve this?

RE: Exported plugin can't access the internet on Linux
@d-healey Mm just doesn't make the call. Inside Hise it works ok. Maybe it's just something of my computer. Maybe you could try the exported plugin on your computer? :)

RE: Exported plugin can't access the internet on Linux
@d-healey Weird. I tried Reaper and the standalone version.

Exported plugin can't access the internet on Linux
It works fine inside HISE, but after exporting the plugin, Server.callWithGET doesn't work. Is there a flag or setting I need to include? The issue only occurs on Linux—Mac and Windows work correctly.

RE: Compiling HISE with Faust on Linux
@d-healey said in Compiling HISE with Faust on Linux:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install faustThis worked for me, thanks!
@d-healey said in Compiling HISE with Faust on Linux:
I published on Patreon today a video showing how to compile HISE on Linux with Faust?
Oh yes, I did see the video—thanks! I was also having an issue with IPP after the "Linking HISE Standalone" process. After watching the IPP section in the video, I thought that maybe the order of the IPP paths mattered. So I arranged them in the same order you did, and the error disappeared.

RE: Compiling HISE with Faust on Linux
@d-healey Following the same guide as oskarsh:
git clone https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust.git cd faust make all && sudo make install

RE: Compiling HISE with Faust on Linux
@d-healey I think the error is related to the installation or linking of Faust on my system. That would fix the issue?

RE: Compiling HISE with Faust on Linux
I'm getting this same error when trying to build Hise with Faust on Linux.
Linking HISE Standalone - App /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfaust: No such file or directory
Using make all && sudo make install to install Faust didn't work for me. Any ideas?

RE: CH1 Files Reduced to Half After Installing HR
@d-healey Thanks I found it. ExpansionHandler.setInstallFullDynamics(true). It's just something to place on init?

CH1 Files Reduced to Half After Installing HR
After installing the expansion (HR file), the resulting CH1 files are half the size of the original CH1 files.
I have two monolith files, each 440 MB in size.
This is my process:
- I encode the expansion.
- I use the "Package sample monolith files" function.
- I set the split archive size to 2 GB and enable "Support full dynamics range."
This produces the HR file (574MB). However, after installing it using ExpHandler.installExpansionFromPackage(), the extracted CH1 files are only 200 MB each—half the size of the originals.
This issue only seems to occur with large files. I have another expansion with smaller CH1 files (around 1 MB each), and their size remains unchanged after installation.

RE: Sampler Not Working After Exporting VST/AU in HISE
@miguellizana Did you check if there is some gain module or something like this blocking the sound? Once it happened to me that in the exported plugin I had the volume set to zero.

RE: How to save current expansion in a DAW project
@d-healey Oh, that was it—thank you so much!
I thought that since I was calling loadSampleMaps on init, it would be sufficient. But it only worked after I called it in the expansion callback, once the expansion was loaded.
-
RE: How to save current expansion in a DAW project
@d-healey Nice thanks. I tried using expHandler instead of Engine and it's the same.
The image and presets of the expansion are restored, but the expansion samples are not restored (the samplemap combobox is empty).
-
RE: How to save current expansion in a DAW project
@d-healey I checked and you're make something similar in Rhapsody. But you're using expHandler.setCurrentExpansion instead of Engine.setCurrentExpansion. Maybe that's why?
O and you're sending it to an inline function. You are not calling it inside the mouse callback for some reason?
-
RE: How to save current expansion in a DAW project
@d-healey Is triggered inside a setMouseCallback of a child panel. I tried setting saveInPreset for the parent panel but it didn't work.
O wait, maybe I should set saveInPreset for the child panel right?I think not, because I tried this and didn't work:
local p = panel.addChildPanel(); p.set("saveInPreset", true);
I have child panels that show the image of the expansion, and when you click it, it loads the expansion.
