Hello everyone,

I have been studying HISE and developing my first plugin for the past six months, with great help from this community, especially @David-Healey and @Christoph-Hart.

I have partnered with a Brazilian Grammy winner and professional drummer to create Odara Sounds, and we are building Brazilian Percussion, a plugin host designed to receive expansion packs. The first one, which will come with the plugin, is called Brazilian Percussion 101 and features five Brazilian percussion instruments.

The main feature that I'm looking forward to hearing some feedback on, which I know some of you here won't like , is a section called Rhythms, where you can choose ready-made Audio and MIDI loops from a list, and play them by hitting one note per instrument. The idea came from the fact that Brazilian rhythms may not be easy to reproduce by non-Brazilian musicians. For now, we have created just a few MIDI rhythms, but the idea is to have that list grow exponentially.

The project is now nearing completion, and I would really appreciate some feedback.

For now, we can only export to Mac, AU and VST, unless you have a Developer Build of Pro Tools.

If you are interested, please fill out the form below. We are going to give full licenses to anyone who helps us in this early stage.

PS: I'm planning to make the project open-source once it's completed.

@d-healey this was the problem, I was editing the XML file manually. It's working now.

Thanks so much!

@d-healey yes. Some notes were missing the far mic. Just fixed. Thanks

@d-healey it was missing setBaseURL

Not it worked:

Server.setBaseURL("https://webhook.site");
local url = '/d3168142-e543-4136-ace6-f17a7f0381e5';
local payload = {
    "test": 123,
};
Server.callWithPOST(url, payload, function(status, response) {
    Utils.cl(status);
    Utils.cl(response);
});

@d-healey thanks!

Here's a minimal example, if anyone else needs it

@Oli-Ullmann said in ComboBox is triggered on load:

saveInPreset

Great, thanks!

@d-healey worked like a charm. Many thanks!

@d-healey yes, that's what was missing.

Thanks so much!

EDIT: actually, maybe not. I think for a multi-output enabled plugin it will always return the max outputs, even if the plugin is loaded as a stereo version.

You're right, @dannytaurus, it always returns the max outputs. I think the UI toggle will be the only viable way.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Thanks @dannytaurus, it worked indeed! However, when I add the plugin as Stereo instead of Multi-output, the other 4 instruments, routed to outputs 3-10, are mute. Do you know how to make it work also on Stereo?

@Chazrox yes, I've added an UI toggle, so when it's on it'll route it to multiple outputs, otherwise to stereo

@dannytaurus so, UI toggle it is

This topic got a bit lengthy, so I'm posting this question here:

Since Engine.getNumPluginChannels() always returns the max outputs, even if it was added as Stereo, is there another way to detect if the plugin was inserted in the DAW either as Stereo or Multi-Output?

(I'm currently implementing an UI toggle switch, but it'd be great to detect it automatically)

@dannytaurus I've tried a lot, with no result. The only thing that worked was changing juce_AU_Wrapper.mm. Would you have a guide on how to achieve that without changing HISE's source code?

It worked!

Thanks @dannytaurus.

It worked well on Reaper, but not in Logic.
Somehow, Logic needs to be told the output options it should offer. I've tried to use these posts you've mentioned with ChatGPT, but after trying many different things, I still couldn't figure it out.

I'm trying my plugin to have a multi-output option.

I've built HISE with these Preprocessor Definitions:

NUM_MAX_CHANNELS = 10
HISE_NUM_PLUGIN_CHANNELS = 10

I can see the multiple outputs in HISE:

But when I export the plugin, Logic only shows the Stereo options.

Does anyone know what else I need to do to enable multi-output options?
