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?

Success!!!

• Yep all you need do is refer to the sample map in the expansion and it will load - even if other samplers in your project are loaded with sample maps from somewhere else...

Cool.

Forwards!!!

@Lindon said in problems with Server API - callWithPOST:

const var p =
{
"email:": "user1@testing.com",
"password:": "password"
};

...and one of us is a duffer - and its not you....

look at this:

const var p =
        {
            "email:": "user1@testing.com",
            "password:": "password"
        };

Can you spot the problem???? its this:

"email:": "user1@testing.com

really? "email:" ? really ?? whats that extra colon doing in there? - some times I go beyond embarrassing myself...

Is there a programatic way to call the UI Zoom factor?

If not can we have one?

@Tania-Ghosh @Natan The only way to learn this stuff is to try and do it yourself, not ask other people for their code.

@Natanr

you mean like this:

@SteveRiggs you dont set intensity with that command,

try:

LFO1.setIntensity(value);

@urbansmash sure so you can either:

• learn HISE
• build your app
• join the apple developer program
• upload your app

or

• pay someone to build your app for you (Hello have we met? We build apps for people..)
• join the apple developer program
• upload your app

OK so now (like many people before me and probably after me) I need to ship some data to users that cannot practically be covered by presets.

Essentially sequencer and arp data - truck loads of it...

So leaving aside for the minute the whole installer issues with MacOS, I would also like the user to be able to select one of these data structures , and even save their own.

I can do this with the JSON file calls....but...I'd really like to have the Kontakt equivalent of the save/load dialog call, so nothing fancy just a call that opens a dialog in the native OS styling to save/load a file.

I realise this might not b possible for iOS - and its sandboxing approach - but to be honest iOS apps are less than 0.01% of my delivery platforms - and I think it would be pretty low on most peoples agenda too... so if this ONLY works for MacOS, Windows and Linux I'd still be a happy bunny.

So if someone knows how to do this right now - please let me know, otherwise please up-vote this feature request.

So I've been messing about with the Server calls, making them interact with my wooCommerce server on my web site, and it seems to be working OK.

So late (in bed) last night it occurred to me that all the wooCommerce REST API is doing is sending me a piece of json (pretty complicated json as it turns out). I (and you) dont need a RESTful API to be implemented on our web sites, a simple static file that contains json should work fine...

So I tried it this afternoon, yep works fine, so here's a (conceptual) example.

If your server is called (lets say) https://davescoolpatreonsite.com

All you need do is open up an ftp link and upload a json file to a subdirectory on your web site and you can call it (from HISE or from your browser):

So:

• make a json file something like this:

{
  "Name": "MyCoolProduct",
  "MajorVersion": 1,
  "MinorVersion" : 0,
  "MaintenanceVersion" : 0
}

lets call it myCoolProductVersion.json

• make a directory on your server (lets say) called productversions, and upload this json file.

OK check its working from in your favourite browser by using the URL:

https://davescoolpatreonsite.com/productversions/myCoolProductVersion.json

this should return and show you your json file.

If this works, next you need to call it from your HISE product, here's the code:

Server.setBaseURL("https://davescoolpatreonsite.com");

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
    if(value)
    {
      Server.callWithGET("productversions/myCoolProductVersion.json", "", function(status, response) {
      
        Console.print("heres back from the server:" + trace(response));
      
      });  
    }
};

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

press the button in the interface - wait a bit (these calls are asynchronous - they don't happen immediately but when they feel like it...) and you should see your HISE object appear...you should be able to work out what to do with it to obtain the data and check it against some internal consts of these numbers.....

Now you only need update your static json file on your web site to tell your product when its up to date or not.

Clearly you can actually send any data you like...presets, descriptions, jokes, free offers, sale notifications etc. etc.
