I'm currently building an app which I hope will allow batch exporting of HISE projects, auto notarization on Mac, and auto-generating installers. So far I have the basics working on GNUx. I need to finish the interface and add the batch handling, but that shouldn't be too difficult, then I'll tackle the other platforms.

This app should make it much easier for everyone (and especially beginners) to export their projects from HISE and build installers.

This is what it looks like so far (it's an ugly work in progress).

It's starting to look a little nicer now.

pkgbuild works! I can programmatically generate unique packages on MacOS now! woohoo!

Status update:

GNU/Linux: Fully working (standalone, vst2, installer). x64 only
Windows: Fully working (standalone, vst2, vst3, installer). x86/x64
MacOS: Fully working (standalone, vst2, vst3, au, codesigning). Needs a bit of tuning but almost there (installer). x64 only.

When I say fully working, that's in my own tests, I expect many a bug report when I release it into the wild.

It's quite possible that AAX plugins will compile just fine on Windows and MacOS too, I've implemented it in the app but haven't tested it.

If all goes well I should finish up the tuning of the MacOS build tomorrow and it will be ready for my patrons to test this weekend!

@Christoph-Hart Could you merge my juce_template pull request (if all is well) as the mods there are needed for my app. The mods are also useful for regular exporting from HISE, bigobj is enabled by default and the VST3 SDK is set correctly to the one that is in the JUCE folder.

And a happy new year!

The source code is now online - https://github.com/davidhealey/hise-exporter

I'm just ironing out a few bugs then I'll build the beta executables for each platform and make them available on Patreon.

I've been thinking of making a HISE tutorial series, as I did for Kontakt, and wondering if there is any interest in it. I already have the Patreon page and YouTube tutorials, and a dedicated course would cover some of the same ground but in a more structured way. What do you guys think, worth doing?

I did a little Skype interview the other day where I was talking up HISE, as always.

@hisefilo We all do this - https://rubberduckdebugging.com/

Here is another method. It uses the same principle as your code but can be expanded to include many more panels and buttons and would only require you to change 1 value.

What I'd like is to have access via the scripting API to each of the custom settings functions.

This way I could add whatever GUI I like to control things like relocate samples folder, and changing the interface size, etc.

I can see these functions in the source code and how they interact with the custom settings panel controls but I'm not skilled enough to link to these functions from the scripting API code. So if I was going to implement it I would probably just end up duplicating the code inside the scripting API and that wouldn't be a good way to do it.

So @Christoph-Hart could you implement this or give me some pointers about how to do it?

I'd also like to see the relocate samples folder function able to handle expansions, so clicking the button would relocate the samples folder for the current expansion.

So not happy with Photoshop any more, now you want to make Illustrator too!

I just tried lld, seems it might be a bit faster at linking but I'd need to do some proper benchmarks to know for certain.

In case anyone else (or future Dave) is thinking of using lld (or gold) for linking here is what you need to do:

Put the following in the Extra Linker Flags box in Projucer

For lld:
-fuse-ld=lld

For gold:

-fuse-ld=gold
-Wl,--threads
-Wl,--thread-count=6

With either of these linkers you need to compile using Clang instead of GCC.

So the make command will look something like: make CXX=clang++ CONFIG=Release -j 6

Solved it. This was missing in the source ADD_API_METHOD_1(setNumAllowedDownloads); I'll make a pull request.

I've placed this in on init, but I get an error - Server.setNumAllowedDownloads(3); - any ideas?

I'm using the server api to download some hr files of about 500MB each from a local server. In a test project the files were downloading almost instantly but in my main project the download speed was capping at 0.2mb/s.

I solved the issue by clearing the sample maps of my main project. On further investigation the samples that were loaded when I noticed the issue were located outside of the project folder. Using a sample map with samples inside the project's Samples folder doesn't seem to create a problem.

Looks like Ryzen might not be the best choice for a passive system due to power consumption - https://hattedsquirrel.net/2020/12/power-consumption-of-ryzen-5000-series-cpus/

This stuff gives me a headache.

@DanH

how does one go about this in Xcode?

YouTube

@DanH Try debugging it in visual studio, see if you get any errors.

Is your exported version being blocked by your firewall or anti-virus?

You should indent your code to make it more readable, like this:

It looks right, but no need for the semi-colon at the end (after the curly brace).
