@David-Healey essentially just to be able to export and import user preset banks. It seems like Hise cant import folders though? So I was trying to find another way

Hi, I’m working on a HISE FX plugin and wanted to ask whether there is any safe way in Hise to package native .preset files into a single custom bank file without losing preset data.

What I was trying to do:

• export a whole preset bank into one portable json file
• then import that file back into the plugin and recreate the original .preset files

My first attempt was:

1. read each .preset with loadFromXmlFile()
2. store the returned object inside a JSON container
3. write that container with writeObject()
4. read it back with loadAsObject()
5. recreate each preset with writeAsXmlFile()

Problem:
This appears to be lossy for real HISE preset files.
A native preset contains many repeated <Control> elements, and loadFromXmlFile() seems to collapse repeated child tags into a single object entry, so after round-trip only one control survives instead of the full preset.

So my question is:
Is there any HISE-supported way in script to preserve the raw contents of a .preset file for single-file bank export/import?

More specifically, is there any API in Hise for:

• reading a file as raw text/string
• reading raw bytes/binary
• copying files into/from an archive-like container
• base64 encode/decode
• or any other safe way to round-trip a .preset file exactly

Any recommended approach here would be really appreciated.

Is there no way for Hise to read Flac files?

Looking for a dev to complete a plugin build that is more than half way done. Would need this to be a priority project and complete as soon as possible! Please message me if you're interested and available and ill tell you the details. Thank you for your time

example would be the pad on the Portal plugin with the dots following your cursor. Animations that react to your movements

Looking for someone who has experience with reactive animation design in HISE for a paid project i'm working on. DM with any examples you've done if you're interested! thank you

Hi there im building an FX plugin, would like to add a looper function into it. If anyone has experience building a looper please message me. This is a paid project

Hi there, I’m looking to hire an experienced developer to help build an audio effect plugin.

The DSP for the effects is already being developed, so the main tasks will include:

• UI & Control Integration – connecting provided DSP modules to the plugin interface, including XY pads, macro controls, and parameter mapping.
• Preset & Browser System – setting up a preset manager with tagging, categories, and user-friendly search.
• Parameter Management – ensuring automation, MIDI mapping, and host sync work smoothly.
• Cross-Platform Deployment – packaging and testing builds for macOS and Windows in VST3/AU formats.
• Workflow Polish – optimizing the user experience, making sure the plugin runs efficiently and stably across DAWs.

Requirements:

• Experience with plugin development
• Strong understanding of UI integration and control mapping.
• Ability to deliver stable builds and iterate quickly.
• A portfolio or examples of previous work.

If this sounds like you, please reach out with your portfolio and background. Thank you!
