This is genius! I will give this a try as soon as I can!

@Lindon said in Drums individual volume control:

• unload one snare, and replace it with another and keep the rest of the kit "as is"
• use effects (like compression or reverb) on an individual kit piece.
• easily pan the kit pieces to different positions

That makes perfect sense actually, I quite like the idea of being able to pick and choose kit pieces, I might go down this route, great suggestion!

@yall said in Drums individual volume control:

@Inveracity personally I would take the audio loop player. it would allow the future user to also import their own audio samples.

I might try this in the future, but I assume this would make it a little more tedious in cases where I would want velocity layers and round-robins, yeah?

Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated!

Awesome, that sounds very straight forward, thank you :)

Heya

I'm learning to use HISE via the HISE Sauce youtube channel - excellent tutorials, really appreciate them!

I've gotten to a point now where I've started working on sampling my own drum kit.

I would like to be able to control the volume of the Kick, Snare, Hihat etc. via the UI and have so far learnt how to link a UI element to an FX module attached to the sampler - so far so good.

The question

• If the Kick is on C1 and my snare on D1 can I then separate those out to individual FX Gain controls?
• Or should I instead add a Sampler for each piece of the kit with each their own Gain FX?

Maybe this is covered in one of the tutorials that I haven't watched yet?

I solved the problem!

Essentially I had an old installation of the Build Tools present on my system, so when I installed Visual Studio 2017 I then had a duplicate build environment that was lacking the correct windows SDK (because I had been a dummy and installed the windows sdk into the build tools instead of vs2017).

So I uninstalled the Build Tools via the Visual Studio Installer leaving only VS2017 installed.

After that I removed the CL= environment variable entirely from my system and added

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64

to the PATH environment variable so that cl.exe could be executed from anywhere.

From here on it was following the video guide basically.

I added the Windows 10 SDK (10.0.16299.0) by modifying the VS2017 installation in the Visual Studio Installer.

Then I opened the HISE standalone project in projucer and built the HISE.exe as per the video instructions - this time no warnings of mac files detected!

And finally I ran HISE, added a sampler and an empty UI, exported it as VST3 64bit and success! :party_popper:

Now I can go back to actually making my instrument :face_with_tears_of_joy:

That's extremely kind of you to offer! :folded_hands:

I think before I take your time from you I'll try completely resetting.

I'll uninstall everything and redownload everything from scratch and try and document my steps as I go

I must have done something wrong along the way the first time around

I have no idea either.

I guess that's it then

Thanks for helping either way :thumbs_up:

Thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it

It looks like Visual Studio is 32bit and when I search for a 64bit version all I find is Microsoft forum posts of people asking for a 64bit versions - so it looks like there are no 64bit versions of Visual Studio

I also tried a few different cl.exe's from different paths, but all of them give the same errors. I can only speculate that the ones in the x64 folders are 64bit version of cl.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64\cl.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx86\x86\cl.exe

I'm searching google, but I can't seem to find anything that relates to this, or I'm not using the right terms.

Got any other thoughts or ideas?

Been digging a little more (and also learning a lot more)
I found the batchCompile.bat script and changed

-set vs_args=/p:Configuration="Release" /verbosity:minimal
+set vs_args=/p:Configuration="Release" /verbosity:normal

and saw this in the output

... and so on ...

So are these generated files causing the issue?
because when I open them up they seem to be fine, windows line-endings and no strange characters as far as I can tell

Thanks Lindon, unfortunately it doesn't say which files need to be converted and when I open random files with Sublime or VSCode they all say that the files have Windows line endings and utf-8 encoding - so I have no idea what it is I'm supposed to convert

Quick update, I tried just clicking the Build Solution from the Build dropdown menu in VS2017 and that actually made it build the application.

Moving on to building the VST 64bit with the newly built HISE.exe and I'm back to the same error messages as when I was building HISE itself.

I'm so incredibly confused

Definitely

1. Download and extract HISE-scriptnode https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/archive/refs/heads/scriptnode.zip
2. Insert the ASIOSDK2.3 and VST3 SDK into the SDK folder as per instructions
3. Open Juce from HISE-scriptnode\tools\projucer\Projucer.exe
4. In Projucer open HISE-scriptnode\projects\standalone\HISE Standalone.jucer
5. Ensure Selected Exporter is set to `Visual Studio 2017" and then click the Visual Studio button to open up Visual Studio 2017.
6. In VS2017 set the build to Release and x64 and go to the Build dropdown menu and select Build HISE Standalone_App
7. Watch it attempt to build

Does that seem somewhat correct?

Alright I completely deleted everything, did a repair install of Visual Studio 2017 and the build tools. I went to GitHub, switched the branch to scriptnode and downloaded it as a zip file (instead of git clone)

I set the CL environment variable to point to

CL=c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio\2017\community\vc\tools\msvc\14.16.27023\bin\hostx64\x64\cl.exe

Now these are my build errors:

followed by a ton of warnings and then finally

I'm not sure what to do from here :crying_face:

Thank you for the suggestion!

I switched to the scriptnode branch, unfortunately I get the same problem

cl.exe does not like having spaces in its path for some reason, so I tried changing the folder name Visual C++ for Python to Visual_C++_for_Python which causes these failures in Visual Studio 2017 when trying to build HISE

(about 100+ lines of them)

And when trying to create a VST in the succesfully built 2.1.0 version I get this:

c:\users\username\appdata\local\programs\common\microsoft\visual_c++_for_python\9.0\vc\bin\amd64\cl.exe : warning C4335: Mac file format detected: please convert the source file to either DOS or UNIX format [H:\HISE_Projects\Kit_One\Binaries\Builds\VisualStudio2017\Kit_One_SharedCode.vcxproj]

Any thoughts on this?

Heya,

I cloned HISE from github, checked out 2.1.0 tag, ran through the video tutorial on compiling HISE for windows.

When I get to the point of building the standalone app in Visual Studio 2017 I get the following errors

c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file:   'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual': No such file or directory
c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'C++': No such file or directory
c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'for': No such file or directory
c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'Python\9.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe': No such file or directory

I retargeted the solution to the version of the Windows SDK to 10.0.16299.0 as per the instructions in the video and it lets me build HISE one time, but on subsequent rebuilds I get the same errors again.

Additionally, once it actually succeeds to build HISE 2.1.0 and I try to make a VSTi x64 in HISE, it gives me the exact same errors in the build output for that.

I've searched the forums and googled a lot and I seem to be the only one who has this problem so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
