@MikeB -- Lindon, Hull UK, Audio Developer, before that I worked in Telecommunications (real time and all that - not as complicated as it sounds) and before that I was a record producer....before that I was a starving/failing musician.

So for those of us who have spent the required hard-yards in the sampling business we have a very specific idea of what "legato" means, and frankly this aint what "modern" synths behave like. Stiil we are often asked to recreate this "synth-based" glide portamento legato, what th ***k else you want to call it...thing. And in my experience its a royal PITA to do....

Essentially notes glide between any currently held note on play or release as long as something is held down...and if a truck load of notes are held then they glide in played order....(where truck load == 2+)

HISE is not best set up for this sort of thing - or so I thought.

So after about 6 goes at this and also after the realisation that I really really need a holiday. I think I have it (or a close approximation of it). As I wouldn't want anyone else to have to go through the outrageous process I went thru to get here I decided to release it. So here it is - again MIT licensed so all yours to use...

Frankly I never want to have to do this again......so please dont ask for amendments, you will have to make them yourself, and if you find a bug - again you will have to fix it yourself - please post your resulting code here.

Meanwhile I'm off to Italy see you in a month, well from next week anyway...

@Lindon ....

@Christoph-Hart - Please can we have bus effects (send and receive) as per this discussion :

https://forum.hise.audio/topic/1983/feature-request-the-case-for-bus-containers

-- wow I just re-read the thread I pointed to - I've been a pita about this .....sorry.

So happy holidays to everyone who has them at this time of year.. Anther great year for HISE and this community, tho I did get too many t-shirts this year...

Feature Request

MIDI out.

......Ok that's me done for 2023, so wishing you and yours a safe and festive holiday season and a prosperous, healthy and happy 2024...

Thanks to all of you for making it a great community..... now where did I put that T-Shirt?

So I've seen a few posts here asking how to "do" an LED-style control, and there's been a few answers - all of which seemed to require adding in a png for the LED itself.

So as I needed (or wanted) one of these that used vector drawing, and one that had some level of "red-line" warning as well as momentary peak measurement too I coded one up. You might want to use it - or adapt it to your needs.

So caveat no.1 : as @ustk has said elsewhere - this is not really a gain meter - its approximates one as it uses 100 milliseconds between each measure - so it may miss some peaks. But in any case:

Happy holidays everyone...have a fun safe time.

@dannytaurus said in Latest version of HISE breaks existing presets....:

@Christoph-Hart Here's what 'my' Claude says:

The pattern so far

Since a92a701de (the unified automation base class), every automation actor - host parameter, macro, MIDI automation, UI widget, script, preset restore - is both a reader and a writer of shared values, connected through the dispatch library. The regressions since then have all been the same bug wearing different hats: a listener can't tell an echo of its own write from a real change, so it feeds the value back around the loop. Each fix so far suppresses one specific edge:

• 633626eeb - gate refreshParameterValue() on enablePluginParameterUpdate, and switch MIDI automation's setAttribute from async to sync notification
• e1fb54695 - carve the backend macro-to-parameter-slot routing out behind HISE_MACROS_ARE_PLUGIN_PARAMETERS

Alongside the pre-existing guards (recursive, sendToHost per parameter, deferNotifyHostFlag, the exclusive-mode conditionals in loadUserPresetInternal()), that's now seven or so overlapping mechanisms all answering the same question by inference: "is this change an echo?"

Why I think flags can't fully close this

Two structural limits:

1. The global flag suppresses the wrong scope. enablePluginParameterUpdate is one boolean for all parameters. While parameter A's update is dispatching (flag false), a legitimate concurrent change to parameter B hits the early return in refreshParameterValue() and is silently dropped -the internal value updates but the host never hears it. I suspect this is exactly the DAW-project-vs-internal-preset drift you were hypothesizing about at the end of the thread. The guard isn't just failing to fix that bug, it's a source of it.
2. Scoped guards can't survive deferred dispatch. A ScopedValueSetter protects a call stack, but this system defers across threads by design. By the time an async-queued listener runs, the guard is long restored and the echo sails through. That's why 633626eeb had to change MIDI automation to sync notification - to drag the callback inside the guard's scope. Changing threading semantics to make a boolean reachable feels like the approach hitting its ceiling.

Proposal: make provenance explicit

The class structure from the rewrite is good - I'd keep all of it. The change is to what a notification is: value plus origin, instead of value alone.

1. Add a small source token (Host, Macro, MidiAutomation, UI, Script, PresetRestore) to SlotSender::sendChangeMessage() and the listener callbacks, threaded through CustomAutomationData::call(). Because the token travels with the queued message, it survives deferral and thread hops - the thing no scoped flag can do.
2. Each writer passes its own token and ignores incoming messages carrying it. MacroPluginParameter::setValue() writes as Host and skips Host-tagged notifications; same pattern in HisePluginParameterBase, MidiControllerAutomationHandler, CustomAutomationParameter.
3. recursive, sendToHost and the global enablePluginParameterUpdate then become deletable. (deferNotifyHostFlag can stay - batching host notifications is an optimization, not a correctness guard.)
4. Preset restore becomes a first-class source: "macros must not clobber freshly restored widget values" becomes a one-line filter rule instead of an ordering convention plus exclusive-mode conditionals, and the MIDI sync/async choice stops mattering for correctness.

For precedent: JUCE's own ParameterAttachment solves the identical loop the same way - each attachment filters its own echoes at the attachment point.

Hmm, I must give this Claude malarky a bit of a go......

@Christoph-Hart yep, as soon as I can I will test it out, though I did send you a version of the project and I think the thread documents the problem well enough....

@Christoph-Hart - is there any chance of ever getting a fix for this?

@lijas90 your installer needs to create/write to the Link file in the %APPDATA% folder with the path to your samples. so on Windows this is LinkWindows, on MacOS its LinkOSX.

As an aside putting samples in the %APPDATA% folder system, as you are doing, is generally a bad idea, esp. for Windows users who often have small C; drives (where the %APPDATA folder resides) as thus there is not enough room for the sample set. Better to ask the end user where they want to keep their samples during the install.

@dannytaurus The same certificate can be used for AAX on both macOS and Windows too.

Windows too? How?

maybe you can

No you're right, I didnt add alpha sliders to the flat colour selections. I'll def add that in the next update. I appreciate the feedback.

Actually it was alpha applied to the gradient colours that I was after...

@Chazrox Ok so I've spent a little time with this now, well done its great. One thing I think would add to its utility is the ability to set the alpha value of colours, maybe you can but I cant see it...
