Hi everyone,

I'm developing a VST plugin with HISE and I'm trying to distribute the sample monolith files (.ch1) separately from the plugin.

My current setup is:

• The plugin is exported as VST3.

• The .ch1 monolith files are copied to a custom user data folder, for example:
  %APPDATA%\MyCompany\MyPlugin\Samples

The plugin is built using Sample Monoliths.

The issue is that when the plugin is opened for the first time, HISE still searches for the .ch1 files in my original HISE project folder (inside the HISE project directory) and asks the user to manually locate the Samples folder.

I would like the plugin to automatically search for the monolith files in my custom AppData folder, so the user can open the plugin immediately after installation without having to manually locate the samples.

Is there a recommended way to define a custom default sample location in HISE?

Can this be done through Project Settings, scripting, or by changing the sample search path during initialization?

Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

@lijas90 Thanks!

Hi! I'm running some tests using multiple velocity layers with round robins linked to my modulation wheel, following D. Healy’s video. I'm trying to draw the curves so they don’t overlap, but there are still ranges where two samples play at the same time. Does anyone know a tip to fix or at least hide this issue? Thanks!

@David-Healey THANKS!

Hi,

I’m working on a wind instrument in HISE with multiple velocity layers. I want the mod wheel (CC1) to simulate breath/air pressure, so that the sound smoothly transitions between velocity layers depending on the wheel position.

Right now, CC1 only controls volume (gain), but it doesn’t switch or blend between groups/layers. I couldn’t find a clear X-fade or controller-based group selection option in my version.

How can I make CC1 control crossfading between velocity layers/groups?

Thanks!

@svkpowa thanks!

@David-Healey Pff, that's too much for me... and from what I see, you have to pay $99 per year to be able to sign AAX plugins. Could someone sign them for me? It would only be two. Thanks David

@David-Healey No, I'm just using the standard free version of Pro Tools (Pro Tools Intro) that I downloaded from the Avid website. I don't have the developer version. Could that be the reason why my AAX plugin isn't showing up?

Hi! Pro Tools is not recognizing my AAX plugin. I exported it from HISE and there were no apparent errors during the export, and I placed it in /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/. However, it doesn’t show up in Pro Tools.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks!

@dannytaurus Indeed! I had to change the plugin code. THANK YOU!

@lijas90 I think it has to do with the project properties in HISE. I’ve tried changing the IDE bundle and the code of each plugin, but it still doesn’t detect both of them. If I replace one with the other, it detects it — but not both at the same time.

@dannytaurus I mean that even though I have two completely different AU plugins in the Components folder, Logic or Reaper only detects one of them. I have no idea why. Thanks for replying.

Hello. Can anyone tell me why Logic only lets me open one AU plugin? The same thing happens to me with Reaper. With VSTs there’s no problem. I thought it was because they were trial versions, but it’s not. Thanks.

@Ben-Catman Can you share the code snippet?

Hi guys, I’m trying to create a function so the user can export a MIDI created by themselves. I know it’s done with saveAsMidiPlayer. Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks.

@Avián Delete the contents of the binaries folder and recompile.

@David-Healey Thanks David!

Hi! How can I control two AHDSR envelopes from two different samplers that are inside the same container using a single knob? Is it possible to do it without scripting? Thanks!

@David-Healey said in Plugin Shows Sample Installation Panels on Startup Even After Configuration:

HISE_DEACTIVATE_OVERLAY=1

Eureka! Thanks David, you always save me.
