@Orvillain Sounds great!

@felix-martinz I'd get a very basic RNBO patch working in a HISE plugin first.

Just to make sure all the transfer steps are working properly.

Then slowly add features to see where it breaks.

EDIT: I'm watching this topic because I'm about to embark on RNBO > HISE too.

@VirtualVirgin The editor drives me batty. It functions so differently to what I'm used to that I'm constantly making subtle typos that fail to compile.

I'm looking into coding in my familiar code editor and hopping back to HISE just to hit F5. Thinking about it, there might even be a way to automate it. Set up a file watcher and every time a script file int he HISE project is saved, tell HISE to compile.

@Chazrox Wouldn't you have to call SomeFunctions.HelperFunction() outside the namespace?

@pcs800 Index 0 sets it to Goniometer, which does indeed crash.

If you want Oscilloscope or Spectral Analyser, set the index to 1 or 2, respectively.

EDIT: I see you already tried index 2 and got no display. It's working for me here on develop 9ed54807 (Aug 9th 2025)

@griffinboy Gotcha. I do that but with free products. I have 'Plus' versions of a couple of my free products and a decent amount of people upgrade.

In my situation, I made the free products first and so many people asked for more features that I made the 'Plus' versions to satisfy that need.

You have to weigh the balance between the two approaches. Getting X number of folks in through heavily discounted product and possibly converting more of them to a higher value product, versus getting many more folks in through a free product and probably converting a lower percentage.

Only you can decide which is best, based on your products, your pricing, your market, and your customer list.

@griffinboy I really dislike huge discounts as a marketing strategy. The biggest discount I ever do on my products is 20%. And I only send that out to my email list. It's not public on the site.

To be clear - my plugins are already very low price (max is $30) so I don't have a lot to gain with the 95% discount strategy. If you're selling at $100+ it makes more sense, but I still wouldn't do it.

I do a 20% launch discount, to my list, and a monthly(-ish) 20% discount on one selected product. And that email only goes out to folks who haven't yet bought that product.

My public product pages are never discounted unless you arrive via the link from my emails with the 20% code included in the URL, or you use a code from my email at the checkout.

Even for the Instagram ads I started running in July, I don't have any discount. It's just the demo video and a one sentence description. No discount, no pressure, no yelling. My approach is just "here's the product, hope you like it enough to buy it".

@d-healey Regarding ROAS on Meta, my takeaway is that you can mostly ignore that - unless you're very carefully and accurately attributing views/sales at the server level. It's way underestimated on my ads. The way browsers work these days has largely done away with simple pixel tracking/attribution.

My Meta ROAS is showing as 1.6 but I'm getting anywhere between 5-10x my daily budget back in extra revenue. No new releases, no sales, no other marketing, no extra email being sent out. I just started the ads and the money came in.

@d-healey said in Wordpress plugin to block temp mail signups:

A customer who doesn't provide a real email doesn't benefit my business in the long term

I wouldn't say that's necessarily true. After trying your free stuff, they could convert to a 'real' customer with a real email address. Or they could tell others about your products. I don't have any hard data but I'm pretty sure I get a lot of word of mouth.

But otherwise, yeah agreed. Fortunately it's something I don't have to worry about, selling on Gumroad. They have built-in email marketing and they take care of hard/soft bounces, etc.

At least on my site, nobody who uses a fake email for a free product has bought anything (not with the same fake email anyway).

Hmmm.. that's an interesting metric I'd like to know about my users.

@mjc123 According to the docs, HISE doesn't have any built-in animation functionality.

You have to set the animation rate yourself with a Timer.

So it should be easy step to sync that Timer rate to a time-based modulator.

I hope this doesn't hurt your customer experience.

A lot of people are concerned with security these days, and who they give their email address to.

Using temp/throwaway email addresses is a fact of life these days.

@xxx I haven't touched Faust yet I'm afraid.

Maybe check David's new Bootcamp videos on Windows compilation? Not sure if he mentions Faust though.

HISE Bootcamp: No Coding Required – Audio Dev School

A beginner-friendly course that teaches you how to build real, working audio plugins using HISE - without writing any code.

It’s designed for musicians, sound designers, and audio creators who want to bring their plugin ideas to life without learning a programming language.

The course is structured around two complete projects: first, you’ll build a custom sample library instrument, and then you’ll create a spatial audio effect plugin.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to use HISE’s visual interface to import and map samples, design user interfaces, connect modulation sources, and export your finished plugins.

Every lesson focuses on practical skills, and you’ll get access to guidance notes, cheat sheets, and supporting materials to help you stay on track.

By the end of the course, you’ll have built two working plugins - and you’ll have the confidence to keep creating, no coding required. You’ll also receive a certificate of completion to showcase your skills.

@HISEnberg Oh yeah - no code solution!

@tsempire You probably just need to ignore MIDI notes in the MIDI Processor of the Audio Loop Player.

@candlefields said in Feature Request: Crossfade in Audio Loop Player:

@paper_lung If the release knob is adjusted correctly the clicks and pops are vanished...I mean minor knob movements..so as at the end of the sample you somehow fade it down...Have you tried it?

Using a AHDSR on an Audio Loop player won't fix clicks and pops when the sample loops during playback.

A crossfade option on the Audio Loop Player itself would fix it.

I'm using audio loops as background textures so they don't need perfect looping but crossfades would be super useful. Currently I have to hardcode a crossfade before I bring the sample into HISE. Not great when I want to keep trying different samples.

But still it'd cool if we don't have to run and maintain our own doc

@d-healey That wasn't my experience at all. Search the internet for "GPT5 fails" and you'll see all the negative reactions.

In my case it was very slow, showed way too much 'thinking' text, refused to execute terminal commands and had a much higher hallucination rate than previous GPT versions or Claude.

Keep in mind, this wasn't with HISE. This was mainly in a Ruby on Rails app with ~30k LOC and a bunch of other much smaller projects. I haven't used AI for HISE at all yet, mainly because I don't think there's enough HISE code out there for it to give really useful answers.

For casual stuff it might be fine, but for coding - and in particular in the Cursor IDE, it was horrible.

@Oli-Ullmann gpt-5 was terrible for me initially. I switched back to claude-sonnet after a few days. Then I heard gpt-5-fast was decent, so I enabled that and it's been fine.

Overall, claude-4-sonnet has been consistently good for me for coding for the last several months.

I think they rushed gpt-5 out too soon. Seen some horror stories about its performance.

@d-healey If you try Bungee let us know how you get on. I'm very interested in Bungee Pro. The demos on the web sound great. The transient retention is excellent.

@d-healey Excellent
