I have read somewhere that you need to get permission and/or pay for the use of brands in your promotional materials.

Does anyone have advice for this?

Would mentioning specific types of equipment be risky? I.e - Juno 106, ReVox A77.

Would saying the virtual instrument was inspired by pieces of equipment like an MPC (without mentioning AKAI) or saying Stratocaster style guitar also be risky?

If you haven't gotten permission or paid the brands, would it be advised to hide/put a piece of tape over the brand name on a piece of equipment, in visual advertisements? I.e tape over the ReVox logo if you had a video of the machine in your promotional material.

I want to be transparent with the quality of equipment used, but also want to avoid any trouble from big brands.

Would love some advice if anyone has encountered this when releasing plug-ins.

Ngā mihi,

After opening in Xcode and reading through some of the errors it looked like it was to do with samples.

Deleted the samples and the Standalone App opened.

Time to watch the rest of your Hackspace tutorials!

Thanks!

I’m fairly new to Hise, but when I studied music technology I was introduced to Juce and did my honours research on how music technology can be more accessible for blind individuals - the main reason for that interest being I’m going blind myself.

Native Instruments are leading the way in terms of accessibility and software instruments. I believe this sits around Native Kontrol Standard.

It’s very important to me that my instruments are screen-reader accessible. The Zoom handler script is awesome and will be great for users with low-vision.

I believe Juce has some accessibility tools, but I haven’t looked too far into this and how that might implement this into my Hise projects.

Is there any plans to implement screen-reader accessibility development tools in Hise? Alternative text would be an amazing addition, but accessibility is often hard to retrofit.

Thanks @Christoph-Hart ! :)

I’m trying to rotate a slider.

I tried rotating and inverting the filmstrip file, (just within preview for Mac) but this means mouse drags move the slider in the opposite direction.

What’s the easiest way to do this? (A tad confused as to how to use the g.rotate function)

Thanks!

@Christoph-Hart

This is awesome! I did my Music Technology Honours research on accessible music tech / Komplete Kontrol and found there’s a great community of Blind KK users.

Chris Ankin runs https://kk-access.com/ which is an awesome resource - I’m sure he will be stoked to hear Hise is moving in this direction and I’m sure he’d be happy to review any hise plug-ins built with this in mind.

Super promising. Thanks Christoph!

Any updates on this? Any new additions in commit, or can anyone provide some tips for making my software accessible

@modularsamples

What are some things to avoid having in a commercial product?

My plug ins are fairly simple sample based instruments - romplers with the basic effects - and another sample based instrument using multi mic and containers to send multi mics to effects…

@modularsamples

Oh wave shaping and scrubbing sounds awesome! Do you have any products available at the moment or somewhere to check this out? Was that done with scripting or 3rd party like Faust?

Thanks :)

What are some kool additions do you think a synth rompler could have apart from bread and butter effects and EQ?

Has anyone worked out simple ways to reverse/beat repeat etc? Any creative effect ideas would be awesome!

I would be careful purchasing.

Advertise showing the background hole but the elements don’t come with that. It didn’t mention that either, so who knows if the elements come with scales either…

Not a great experience.

@d-healey Hi David,

Would you be able to point me in the right direction in terms of using this script but changing the buttons to panels?

I am on your second tier on patreon incase you have any videos on this - or possibly some snippets that would be useful if I upgraded my membership?

Cheers,
Sam

@ulrik How would you set this so that only one note triggers the button?

@yall This is great! I love the layout.

Have you made any progress with this?

I would love to be able to

a) Turn the script on and off and

b) have the chords across the keyboard when enabled.
