@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.

Feature Request
@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.

Feature Request

MIDI out.

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:

I'm pretty sure the code could do with re-factoring so I'm always interested in a better version if you want to comment or contribute...

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

...sliding in late... happy holidays everyone...

OK so as promised, here I am at the end of the "name your Own Price" sale... to provide a few stats.

So the sale ran from 27 June to 5th August ( so a little over a month) and I did spend a modest amount of time pushing it on VI-Control, KVR and facebook.

Referrer order:

1. VI-Control
2. KVR
3. Reddit (who knew??)
4. Search Engines
5. facebook

All up I had 169 orders for 469 products. Yep still got a lot of multiple-product orders. For an all up revenue of $2658.05 (who was that person who paid $5.05 for something?). As you can guess more than 90% of people paid the minimum $5.00 for each product - so if you are going down this path then make sure your minimum is something you can live with. I know most people who run these say most customers pay way above the minimum, but frankly I'm unsurprised given the audience here is musicians - never found them to be the most generous of individuals (sorry if that offend anyone - remember I'm a musician too...)

My take: As a vehicle for getting product into peoples hands its a good approach, many many customers were very grateful I ran this and said so in public forums, but as a sustainable business model its never going to fly. To do this you need a fairly extensive (and pretty played out) back catalogue- which is what I had/have so it was minimal pain for me.

OK thats it have at it..

Hello everyone, so right now I'm running a different kind of summer sale over at Channel Robot. It's "Name Your Own Price" (min = $5 , max = list price). It's for my Kontakt instruments ONLY - and I'm pretty sure no one here needs or wants any of those but on one of the facebook groups I was asked to provide some feedback on how it went after the sale finishes. It occurred to me that this would be useful information to all of us - in case you were thinking of running with this format for your own product sets. So whenits finished I will try and remember to post some stats here.

Meanwhile - it's been running for 1.5 days now, so this is whats happened so far:

In the last 36 hours I've made 26 sales - selling 82 items (yep almost no one is picking up a single item..) for a total revenue of $429.00 - yes almost everyone (90%) are paying the minimum $5.00.

I am getting the feeling that if I'd set the minimum at $10 I wouldnt be so much down on sales and up a fair bit on revenue - but who knows. I will try and keep you posted - remind me at the end of August in case I forget.

yep happy and successful 2020 everyone...

@MikeB said in I give up:

but unfortunately I'm a graphic designer for 40 years

.. So just askin..... would you expect someone who has never done Graphic Design to pick it up in " a couple of weeks"? To be competent enough to charge for their services?

Coding take years of effort to learn how to do. I think its unreasonable to expect it wont take as long to be good at it as it takes to be good in any other profession.

I've been writing code for over 30 years...(ouch!), and I knew the day I started on HISE development I wouldn't be making anything of any value for at least 6 months - and so it proved.

Perhaps divide and conquer is your best approach - find someone who will build the back end for you and you (graphic) design the front end.

@d-healey I will give it a go...

So I have a modulator defined as:

const var GlobalTremoloLFO = Synth.getModulator("GlobalTremoloLFO");

and I have a series of callbacks like this:

inline function onTremFadeInControl(component, value)
{
	GlobalTremoloLFO.setAttribute(GlobalTremoloLFO.FadeIn, value);
};
Content.getComponent("TremFadeIn").setControlCallback(onTremFadeInControl);

I put the callback in a namespace declared in an include script: VibTremSpace.js

If I put the modulator definition in the init then it compiles, if I put it in the namespace I get this:

Interface:! VibTremSpace.js (162): Unknown function 'setAttribute'

So for some reason the callback can not see the modulator when they are BOTH in the namespace....very odd...am I doing something silly?

@d-healey - so basically when you applied mono aftertouch (pressed harder on a keY) all that HISE responded with was the MIDI's initial velocity value....

@nesta99 - Logic is one of the "picky" DAWs - it will look for your Plugin ID - that @trillbilly mentioned. Make sure this is correct AND UNIQUE

Logic goes through your plugins loading them and checking their Plugin ID's if there's a plug already loaded with the ID it is given it will not load your plugin...so every different plugin you build MUST have a different (unique) ID.

@nesta99 said in Notarisation for dummies:

@lindon Yeah true. Plugin not signed yet. I tried but not working ...

It says : "no identity found" . Any Idea?

sounds like you dont have the plugin ID set up correctly.. (as a guess)

@nesta99 said in Notarisation for dummies:

@lindon To be honest, I dont know what auval is and since I never remember to use it, then no.

run auval everytime on every AU plugin:

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/AudioUnitProgrammingGuide/AudioUnitDevelopmentFundamentals/AudioUnitDevelopmentFundamentals.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003278-CH7-SW38

@nesta99 said in Notarisation for dummies:

Hello everyone. After code sign the plugin I'm still not able to open my plugin on Logic Pro. I have the latest version of logic on a Monterey OS. Is it required to notarise the plugin before making it work o a daw?
Thanks

I have NEVER had to notarize any plugin anywhere - codesign - yes but notarize no, I strongly suspect its not that its not notarized, have you run auval against your compiled component plugin?

So I know Gaurav, I've worked for him and with him and we've spent long skype calls together. For what its worth I think (and my experience is) he's a really really nice guy. Sure you may not like his video style - but hey - each to their own I say.

So let climb off this topic shall we?

could be wrong...

I'm 99% sure the arpeggiator are the HISE slider packs connected to the 3 slider packs that the HISE arpeggiator offers - everything else would be a superweird coincidence.

Well last time I spoke with him he said he didn't like the way HISE based instruments did the sample install and it generated too many support calls - but hey maybe he has a way round that now...

I Know The Guy From BeatSkillz,
He's More Like an Investor In Audio Plugins Market.
Nothing Made In-House,

Yeah well RetroVolt was done in HISE (cause I did it) but Gaurav has moved away from HISE as far as I know... so I dont think this was made in HISE...could be wrong...
