@rzrsharpeprod said in Expansions preset tagging:

@Lindon so that means it is possible to have the preset browser affected (in this case filtered) to show just the presets I want based on the click actions of a separate panel (containing my tags)?

I've no idea how to begin with that as I don't know what calls can affect the preset browser and can't seem to find anything from poking around here. As I says I wasn't even sure it was possible at all tbh

No, this ahs nothing to do with the default preset browser -..... you have a list of all presets, and some piece of JSON with each preset listed with its assigned tags right? so read thru the JSON getting each tag uniquely, now you have a non duplicate list of tags, draw them using a paint routine in a panel......

@ustk said in Expansions preset tagging:

@Lindon Couldn't the object described here be able to hold the tags (aka any custom things per preset) instead of relying on external JSON?

HISE | Scripting | UserPresetHandler

An object for customizing the data model

(docs.hise.dev)

yes it could, I just find it a royal pita to use so I built my own - where you apply persistence is a bit arbitrary really.

@rzrsharpeprod said in Expansions preset tagging:

So my next hurdle is now can I/is it even possible to filter the preset browser to show just the presets that have that particular tag?

Looks like you are more than half way to building your own custom tag-based preset browser....now all you need is a way to render the filtered list of presets, and the total list of tags..

Here's a clue:

as title.

@It_Used yeah that would work I think.... ch10 ? - Grief how big is a single sample map ?

@It_Used said in How to control loaded samples with preset.:

Still, I was able to figure out how to search for files, but one thing is still not clear to me, I can't use my wildcard variables that could change, I have to search for all files, I can't make it so that only *.ch files are searched.

dont you need to search for .ch1 files? not .ch files...

fFiles = FileSystem.findFiles(samplesPath, "*.ch1", false);

@Straticah yep very cool, well done, and good luck.

@DanH said in Preset Browser - List item background:

@ustk ok back on this again

What would be a crafty way of adding multiple 'tags'?

So the preset name could be something like BA_LD_PRESETNAME to indicate that it's a bass as well as a lead sound.

Maybe some kind of divider is needed...

Really I watch this sort of discussion a lot here, that can be characterised as "how to bend the preset browser to my will". My experience is that its nearly trivial ( a few days at most) to write your own custom preset browser...

I think thats the essential problem here... there are already players in the space, and even then, none of it looks exciting...solving the " manage the entire backend of the business" issue, isnt really an issue...."the entire backend of the business" can get resolved in several different ways, but all of it in a few months at most, whilst the biggest problems: piracy, sales and distribution are all open ended difficult to solve issues...

..if I was going to "do this", I'd start by asking:

What would be a meaningful distribution platform/brand/site and how would it be organised so a bunch of developers could on-board, sell product and get a fair shake of the "front page" stick...??

Perhaps look at this another way.... if you cant solve the pirating problems, what other problems can you solve? Marketing? Sales(like getting more not the basket process, which we all seem to have solved pretty much already with wooCommerce etc.)., demos, videos, etc.

@trillbilly said in SoundSync: Reseller, Security & Serial Management Platform:

@Lindon Ya for sure.

Do you have any suggestions on what you feel is a secure way to handle this, yet, painless for the end-user?

well if I knew that I'd be very rich by now....

@trillbilly said in SoundSync: Reseller, Security & Serial Management Platform:

@Lindon Right now it verifies by email + serial. Each serial has 3 linked product downloads. If the limit is met, further downloads are blocked and the user must request a download reset from the developer.

I will be adding various other ways to go about this process.

I think I understand what you are saying: the user provides an email and serial number to the web service and then they can download the product....yes?

If so isnt this solving a problem that doesn't really exist? Download limiting isnt a problem is it? It certainly isnt for me... the problem is hacked versions of the product...

@trillbilly so whats the authentication method?

@Oli-Ullmann very impressive.....

@Christoph-Hart said in making wavetable files - already Im confusing myself...:

@Lindon you could even use HiseScript to write a batch processor that perform these steps, fun little excercise and you'll get to know the Buffer class which is highly useful when operating with wavetables (you can compute any wavetable and feed it to the wavetable synthesiser once you get the hang of it).

LOL, yes I should consider it, otherwise it'd probably be a batch process in Audacity to set = 2048 then some python script stuff to replicate the contents, ..but sure HiseScript might be a better approach, esp. as my HiseScript generator is itself written in HISE script and that saves me a truck load of time these days...so Im already on the eat-your-own-dog-food utility journey..

@paper_lung first check what Save Mode is set to in your Sample maps, it needs to be = 0 to let you rebuild your compressed samples..

@Christoph-Hart said in making wavetable files - already Im confusing myself...:

@Lindon yes but even then it's easy to create discontinuities which mess up the harmonic spectrum. In that case just try the resynthesiser, it basically does resampling with a few tricks like this.

yep will do thanks. Given its pretty simple to just use Audacity to modify the size of the file to a power-of-2 value and then duplicate the contents 4 or 8 times to get a "bigger" file I guess I might end up doing that anyway and thus bypassing the resynthesis step altogether...

@Christoph-Hart said in making wavetable files - already Im confusing myself...:

@Lindon funny, almost all wavetables I checked that came from external sources were already power of two so I assumed that was some kind of industry standard.

You might run into issues when trying to resample a single cycle length depending on the interpolation technique you choose, it might cause some discontinuities at the start / end of the cycle.

Yeah I think those Adventure Kid files are from before wavetables were a thing, they're attempts to provide single-cycle data for use in "std" oscillators.

I get what you are saying about single cycles, I guess I need to simply duplicate them a number of times to get some "bigger" data set to work with...

@It_Used if you look there's a couple of examples of this already in the forum...

OK so if you have followed the discussion about custom wavetables, you'll know I'm late to the party on all this cool wavetable functionality...

So I thought I'd start by testing out the resynthesis algo....against something built externally that complies nicely(is a power of 2 in length)...

So casting about for some suitable audio, I thought I'd start with the Adventure Kid waveforms....(Google them they are a nice resource).....

Now these ship as single cycle wave files all tuned to D1, so they are 600 samples long.... so yep not a power of 2......so HISE will need to resynthesis this...good.

OK, here's where Im 2nd guessing myself...to get to something that doesnt need resynthesising, I can ignore the pitch of this file and simply use Audiacity's "Change Speed and Pitch" effect and specify 1024 as a new length....

yes?

If so anyone know of any better "resampling" software that gets me to the same place?

if "no"... then what am I doing wrong?
