@dustbro said in Simple copy protection done right :

Honestly, I don't know the intricacies of the licenses. I just assumed that you pay a fee for a commercial version of HISE, and you do what you want with it.

You can't mix proprietary software with any software licensed under the GNU GPL, it has to be 100% free. But you can link to proprietary software as long as it's independent.

The HISE commercial license doesn't mean you are suddenly able to release commercial plugins - you already have that freedom with the GNU GPL - it's called a commercial license because you have to pay for it. And what it grants you is the freedom to restrict your users (isn't that nice )

@ustk I'm pretty sure that they are equal in terms of efficiency. It wouldn't suprise me if showControl is just syntactic sugar for set(visible) or vice versa.

@dustbro said in Simple copy protection done right :

@d-healey This would be for closed source projects.

Oh definitely, but HISE is licensed under the GNU GPL, so Christoph would have to either provide two binaries and sets of source code, one with the proprietary code and one without, or offer a way for individual developers to link HISE to Soraco themselves - assuming Soraco allows you to connect to their system in a way that is GNU GPL compatible.

@dustbro said in Simple copy protection done right :

Have you guys seen https://soraco.co/ ? It appears to be $900 (one time fee) for 1 cross platform license server. Have you guys seen anything more cost effective?
@Christoph-Hart Could this be implemented with a HISE product?

Only works with Windows by the looks of it and not compatible with the GNU GPL.

Edit: oh actually is says Mac and Android too, but at the bottom of the page it only has Windows compatibility labels... no GNU/Linux support either. Also, how would this be any better than the server/client license (not the simple copy protection discussed in this thread) Christoph already provides?

@Lindon Yeah but if it explodes let me know.

@dustbro said in Knob is selected? use for function:

Is there a smarter way to do this? If I wanted 20 different elements to display a specific panel when selected, that line of code will get pretty long

Yes. Use arrays and loops. I've demonstrated this in a few threads now so I think it's time I make a video about this.

In the meantime I was making an example for you so I'll post it anyway

Panel's have a built in timer object so you don't need to declare a separate timer variable in this instance.

Mouse callbacks are just for panels, but you want it when the knob is moved, so just a standard control callback is all you need. You should be able to get all the info you need from this thread - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/1443/single-button-that-switches-between-multiple-panels/16

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've made a few changes to the page, simplified the tiers, and added some initial posts. The page has now been quietly launched. I'm not making a big announcement or anything, at least not yet, because there isn't much content there are the moment, but I'm working on it and will be updating the page regularly over the next few weeks. I'm also creating some detailed tutorials to which patrons will get early access, I'm in the process of writing the scripts and will start recording next week. - https://www.patreon.com/davidhealey

@Lindon said in I'll just leave this here:

@Christoph-Hart sample load, round-robin set up - Dave and I and other seem to have problems... theres plenty of discussion here I think.

Yes there is definite buggyness but I've been able to workaround all issues so far.
