@d-healey If I remember well, you can load one-shot samples in each layer. So no multi as far as I know. I could be wrong though.

So if I follow you correctly the expansions can be presets + custom UI but not samples + custom UI.

Yes it can contain samples. It's essentially a mini HISE project. But you still have to predefine the samples. There is no way (as far as I'm aware) to make a HISE plugin that the user can just drop any samples into.

I thought it was possible because Hexeract allows the user to import samples and it's based on Hise.

Is there a file format that the end-user can load in the Hise sampler made plugin that allows the importation of both samples+custom UI "instruments"?

Again, I'm sorry if my question sounds silly, I've gone through the tutorials on the website and not much else.

The expansion system really confuses me!

Ah I see, if the sounds have to be predefined in the rompler before being loaded, then it won't work because I don't know what type of sounds with their custom UI I'll do in the future.

I had hopes that it could be possible using some kind of expansion system.

Hise includes an expansion system. You can create a product - say a two voice instrument with a range of filters and effects - and ship it with (say) a few hundred "sounds". If you have designed it correctly then you can later ship the user a set of extensions - each including a number of sounds and presets.

You can even ship additional code and images (to reskin your product) with these extensions.

So if I follow you correctly the expansions can be presets + custom UI but not samples + custom UI.

By the way, thank you guys for taking the time to answer my questions!

@MisterCluster

if you could just create the instruments and the end-users would just load them in the player.

You'd only need one player and HISE would vanish in a puff of self created obsolescence.

Why? I genuinely don't understand, if it's good for Kontakt, why it wouldn't be good for Hise?

Then I think Hise is in need of a player, I'm sure it would bring more people in if you could just create the instruments and the end-users would just load them in the player.

I'm new to Hise so sorry if the question is silly, but is it possible to create a rompler where the user can load the sounds from the UI?

I'd like to create an empty rompler where the user will be able to put its sound files anywhere on his computer. When he chose to load a sound from the UI, he'll get the sound with its custom UI loaded. Just like Kontakt and Halion.

Is it possible to create something like this in Hise Sampler?
