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...

...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...

Me personally - I'm just here for all the free advice about cash-app transfers in those very helpful posts...

• praying (pretty hard) that this is in V3......

OK so I'm pretty sure @Christoph-Hart is busy working on many things including HISE 3.0, and like everyone else I'm looking forward to it - no matter what it contains - but I thought might be useful to develop a list of the things this forum had asked for. Clearly having something in this list DOESNT mean its automatically going to get implemented but having it will be either a reminder (hint) to Christoph or allow him to say "nope no way".

So I will start with some of the things I've asked for or I remember being asked for:

1. Send/Receive FX - as @Christoph-Hart and I discussed here: https://forum.hise.audio/topic/1983/feature-request-the-case-for-bus-containers/6
2. MIDI out - I haven't tried this so it might already be there - but some meaningful API documentation would be nice.
3. Extensions - yep I'm pretty sure this is coming in some sort of form..
4. OS specific Load/Save dialog - like Kontakt - it opens a load or save dialog in the OS...so the user can navigate around and get "stuff" we want saved to/loaded from wherever they like.
5. User content(wav files) loading to Sampler maps - it took Kontakt more than 10 years to get to the point of doing this - now its a BIG DEAL there... so it'd be a big deal here too.
6. Time stretching - I think @d-healey has covered this - RubberBand is a candidate .

Ok I dont want to monopolise - so over to you all...

@hisefilo why bother? its already called the Healey Instrument Sampler Engine isnt it?

@Inveracity said in Drums individual volume control:

Awesome, that sounds very straight forward, thank you

... but "classically" we'd use different samplers for different "instruments" (drums in your case) - with this approach you can:

• 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

@Tania-Ghosh any time.

so this:

FileSystem.browse(FileSystem.AppData, false, "*.txt", function(result)
{
    // the parameter is a File object, so we just show it
    // in the OS' file browser.
    result.show();
});

Which by the way is taken almost entirely from the existing documentation...

@Tania-Ghosh said in Proper Written Documentation of API is needed besides Updates:

@Lindon Then C:\Users\Tania\AppData\Roaming\PluginsName

Write. Some. Code.

simple console print statements that show you the values for the special locations on your machine...

..and read the documentation it clearly states:

AppData The app data directory. This is the main directory for your project which will house the configuration files and user presets.

@Tania-Ghosh said in Proper Written Documentation of API is needed besides Updates:

@Lindon Hmm.. But unable to figure out var callback and var startFolder

E.g
FileSystem.browseForDirectory(var startFolder, var callback)

if you dont know how to use the var callback - you should go read some javascript documentation about function calls.

@Tania-Ghosh said in Proper Written Documentation of API is needed besides Updates:

@Lindon I would like to Access C:\ from a Button...

How would I access it from interface?

Content.makeFrontInterface(500, 400);
const var Button1 = Content.getComponent("Button1");

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
   
};

Content.getComponent("Button1").setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

There is no such thing g'teed to be there as "C:" - so you're code will break on some users machines.. use one of the special locations.

@Tania-Ghosh
so the documentation states:

the startFolder parameter can be either a File object or one of the special location constants of the FileSystem API object.

So go look in the documentation for the File object, or go look at the documentation for the FileSystem, where you will find:

FileSystem.getFolder(var locationType)

You can use this method to access files from one of the given locations (take a look at the Special Locations above for a list of available folders).

..and it even links you to the special locations, where you find:

Special Locations
In order to access files, you will need to use the constants of the FileSystem object in order to go to special locations.

Location Description
AudioFiles The audio file folder. In HISE it will be the repo folder, but in the compiled project it will be a sub folder in the appdata folder.

Samples The sample folder as specified in the settings (or the subfolder of the HISE project during development).

AppData The app data directory. This is the main directory for your project which will house the configuration files and user presets.

UserHome The user home folder. Documents The user's Document folder.

Desktop The user's desktop folder.

Downloads The user's download folder.

@Tania-Ghosh how is this (already in the file system documentation) not what you need:?

FileSystem.browse(var startFolder, bool forSaving, String wildcard, var callback)

This will create a file browser from the OS that let's the user choose a file for loading or saving (in case of saving it will confirm a overwrite).

the startFolder parameter can be either a File object or one of the special location constants of the FileSystem API object. If you pass undefined it will choose a sensible default (most likely the most recent location).

the forSaving parameter decides whether the file is supposed to be overwritten or just read from.

the wildcard parameter is a file wildcard (like eg. *.txt for all text files) and can be used to filter the files being displayed. If the wildcard is an empty string, it will show all files.

the callback parameter is a function with one parameter that will be executed when a file has been chosen.

maybe this (your first warning):
