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.

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!

@ustk I tested it on OS 15.(Something) - The JUCE forum post mentioned Ventura... I'm still running 12.7 incase you wanted to send a new build to test without the Zoom Handler/resize

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 ! :)

@Chazrox are you using / have you tried the Synced Arpeggiator script example?

@d-healey Decided to work from a backup - cheers David!

@d-healey Changing between projects - and if I add the zoom handler script to projects I generally have to recompile projects after opening. Generally just crashing randomly after compiling

@d-healey That's it really.. Hise crashes a lot so I generally save the project after I change anything and recompile.

I added a slider pack to my project and connected it to a SyncedArp script in property editor and now my project crashes... As soon as I try recompile the scripts it crashes.

I managed to open the interface and delete the slider pack and save the project, but it's still crashing.

I have a back up from yesterday but not for todays work...

@cassettedeath Confirmed this does not happen on updated Mac OS... Here's hoping there aren't many users with an old OS....

@d-healey Can confirm this problem is still happening with a basic project.

I am using Logic 10.7.3 on a Mac M1 Monterey 12.2

@d-healey A minimal project and post the snippet? Can do

@d-healey All AU and also just tested AU in FL
