I just found this (thanks youtube recommended) - it came out last month and I'm only 10 mins in so far, but I'm hoping this can help those of us who want to better understand the C++ side of HISE/JUCE.

Update: Okay I'm a bit further in and it's definitely not for beginners, he doesn't really explain anything and just types furiously while jumping between the different files

Merry xmas hise friends

Hey pals! Here's a cheeky demo of a plugin i'm finishing up, just want to show how flexible HISE is and how someone like me with very little scripting knowledge can make something fun:

it's sort of a vocal channel strip? using a combination of default modules and scriptnode:

drive: 2 custom shapeFX curves
shape: basic EQ stuff that I find myself using a lot, reduced to 2 knobs
air: scriptnode LWR filters with compression on the high frequencies
comp: 1176-ish style compression (very fast attack+release with fixed ratios, when combined with drive it can get pretty close to the VMR one)

GUI made entirely in Blender (free) with quixel textures (not free) and using an online sprite sheet generator

if people want to download the vst dll (windows) to play with it let me know, sounds cool on drums (drive+compression), and acoustic guitar (air module, no drive/compression)

and yes that is steven slate singing

thanks to everyone who helped out with my questions about stuff, and to Christoph for making something so great! can't wait to dive into SNEX 2.0 and properly get into scriptnode

now time to save for a commercial license

GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANS I TOO ENJOY 808 BEAT

Just launched my first suite of HISE stuff today I'll let you know if it does well

I've been working on a Guitar Amp simulator, and one of the biggest things for shaping guitar tones is the cabinet. It's popular in digital production to use Impulse Responses of real cabs, and I realized, since these IRs are basically just complex EQ curve "snapshots" I figured I could make a quick thing in HISE that generates them randomly.

It's one ugly button that moves 60ish EQ points around within parameters that sound like a guitar cab. It also has some post corrective EQ for 4k and 2.5k, as well as pre and post filters and "analog vibe" which is just a low and high shelf (sneaky industry secret).

Note that this doesn't actually create the impulses, for that you can do it using Andrew Wade's technique in this video:

Note 2: This doesn't include the amp part, this is just for making cab responses quick and dirty!

I'm sharing the code for people that want to make their own "cab" impulses for a pack, or want to learn how to randomly set EQ parameters using the BandOffset, or for anyone making their own amp plugins or whatever

Cheers

Would something like this be overly difficult to implement?

https://magenta.tensorflow.org/ddsp

https://github.com/magenta/ddsp

There's already some people making synths with Magenta + JUCE:

no idea how one would approach such a task

I've been super lazy lately but last night realized the Expansion system was updated (woops) so I spent the night making a little player to load all of my (previously) Kontakt libraries in a single thing

it has (or will have) uniform ADSR and FX across all libraries, automatic purging/reloading and probably some scriptnode shenanigans, it's also so much easier to make a new expansion (as opposed to making a new Kontakt library)

HISE is the future!

Bug Report: MIDIPlayer ClearSequences can't be connected to a front-end GUI element.

https://forum.hise.audio/topic/4228/midiplayer-clearsequences?_=1623430795549

A quick note on mean comments: people will hate no matter what you do - you could give away the best plugins for free, or even pay other people to use them, and someone somewhere would still complain

Avoiding posting your products on public forums or advertising them will guarantee 2 things:

1. no one will leave mean comments
2. no one will ever see or use your plugins

Made a minimal example to demonstrate the issue.

1. Set samples install directory.
2. Install expansion.
3. Everything installs to the right place, etc.
4. Re-open plugin and get a Sample Directory Missing error.

There's a pre-compiled windows Binary, and an encoded expansion in the root folder of that

is anyone else getting this issue with the more recent commits?

@Christoph-Hart im still getting this problem when using the later commits:

Same expansions from my current working version, same code too.

I'm thinking the problem might be similar? Expansion Wildcards doing some strange stuff? If I remove {EXP::Blackout} it removes the overlay, but obviously the samples aren't loaded. I feel like it might be looking in the appdata folder, not where the Samples are installed to.

const var expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();

var currentExpansion; 

const var expansionNames = [];

expansionNames.push("No Expansion");

for (e in expHandler.getExpansionList())
    expansionNames.push(e.getProperties().Name);

for (i=1; i<expansionNames.length; i++)
{
    expButton[i].data.expansionName = expansionNames[i];
    expButton[i].set("allowCallbacks", "Clicks & Hover");
    
    expButton[i].setLoadingCallback(function(isPreloading)
    {
        if(isPreloading)
        {       
            this.data.preload = true;
        }
        else
        {       
            this.data.preload = false;
        }
    });      
    
    expButton[i].setMouseCallback(function(event)
    {
        if (event.clicked)
        {
            //Here we add the safety check.
            
            if (this.data.preload == false)
            {
                expHandler.setCurrentExpansion(this.data.expansionName);   
                load+this.data.expansionName;
            }
        }
    });    
};

currentExpansion = expHandler.getCurrentExpansion();
currentExpansion = currentExpansion.Name;

var expansionDirectory = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Samples);
var selectExpansionFile = "";
reg hr;

expHandler.setAllowedExpansionTypes([expHandler.FileBased, 
                                     expHandler.Intermediate, 
                                     expHandler.Encrypted]);

//Install Single

var installDirectory = expansionDirectory;

inline function onButton_InstallLibraryControl(component, value)
{
    if (value)
    {         
        FileSystem.browse(installDirectory, false, "", function(result) 
        {
            hr = result;
            expHandler.installExpansionFromPackage(hr,FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Samples));
            expHandler.refreshExpansions(); 
            installDirectory = result.getParentDirectory();
        });
    };
};

Content.getComponent("Button_InstallLibrary").setControlCallback(onButton_InstallLibraryControl);

//Blackout

inline function loadBlackout()
{
    
        //Setting Up Samplers
    clearSamplers();
    
    SamplerA.asSampler().loadSampleMap("{EXP::Blackout}Blackout_SampleMap");
};

grosssssss

i wonder if other DAWs will follow

@christoph-hart Thank you

bump, officially reached 1 month of my convolution not being usable

bump, could we please get some acknowledgement that something's up with expansions? seen several threads about it now and this is the last thing i need working before i can push my mac release

@crd I use Andrew Wade's pure impulse file:

Edit: it should work for reverbs too

One of my users had to run Ableton as an administrator to get hr installation working

@d-healey

@yall hint: switch statements and/or string arrays

Yep confirmed it with a barebones version:

1. Convolution works fine without an expansion loaded.
2. After installing & loading an expansion, it keeps the IR loaded (still works).
3. If you try to select a new IR, the convolution stops (I assume because it's looking in the wrong folder).
4. If you go back to no expansion loaded, it works again and you can switch files all you want.

@Christoph-Hart could you please take a look at this when you get the chance? I think something's wrong with the {PROJECT_FOLDER} wildcard or something
