Ahoi,

I have setup 16 channels and routed each sound of my drum plugin to a channel
it looks right in HISE, but when i compile the project and run the plugin in a DAW
even with all multi outputs switched on it still just plays through the main 1+2

what am I missing?

are there any tutorials or documentation on how to handle multichannel?

@dannytaurus that makes sense

Awesome! What would be the best practice for a linndrum thingy? I have a gated reverb using the convolution, so that would either require me to have 16 instances of it for each drum sound or use it as a send effect which kind of defeats the whole idea of letting the user process individual channels. so compression and reverb are probably best removed.

usually drum samples are mono, so with 16 channels i could have every pad sent to an output, however that would be total overkill in the daw. also having the output sent to mono channels in some daws doesnt let you use stereo plugins on them. so it would be best toe.g. have 8 stereo outputs and give the user a sort of routing page to select which sound should be in which channel.... or maybe predefined them in groups? Kick, Snare, Toms, Hats, Clap, Perc... which is how I myself would usually setup my mixes... then maybe have a FX channel for the verb again....

decisions, decisions....

Ahoi!
I'm back taking up work on my liunndrum clone drum machine plugin again and was wondering if someone has worked with multichannel outputs lately and can tell me anything about the state of things there. Is it working properly with cubase? It would be a blast to have every drum sound routed to its own output for obvious mixing reasons.

is there a complete working tutorial on how to set things up for multichannel? when I tried it a year ago i failed miserably
also what method of setup do I provide to the user? like a dropdown box on each instrument channel to select where to route it? or can I predefined everything?

All the best

@d-healey oh boy she's a beauty

Ahoi!
Lately more and more plugin companies catch my eye claiming to use "machine learning" to capture analog technology (alias free) plus some other buzzwords...

Can someone elaborate on what we are looking at here? What are those machines? How is this done and can this be done in HISE? The only ever thing in this ballpark I heard of is the Kemper profiler... But now they are doing it to Distressors, 1176s etc... And usually compressor plugins all do pretty much the same with just different values and sensitivity curves for attack/release. At least if AP Mastering can be believed ;)))

@Lindon really depends on what sound and modulation possibilities you want to go for. Whipping up comething custom in faust should be straight forward. Habe a look at the boss or moog clusterlis schematics, they are usually among the most recommended flangers. Probably airwindows is another good source to start and easy to turn into a node. I had a thread how to do it now long ago you should find all you need in there

@d-healey brilliant! thanks

when a plugin is bypassed by the DAW, does or can it still do something? Is it just not receiving audio or completely dead? I was thinking of graying out some things in the GUI when it is bypassed, would that be possible?

This is just a stupid thought I'm having but has anyone ever considered seperate loop points on stereo samples? I came across this when sampling some chorused stuff on the Juno 60, where you could never find a perfect loop, but it should be possible if the left and right sample are treated seperately and have a nice effect not making the sound appear looped at all... worth giving a shot? how would it be done in HISE? two samplers panned right and left? seperate mic positions?

@Christoph-Hart see video. right on the node

@Morphoice I just found out about the tab, it worked either way, but the nodes still crash when I right click them, so that might be a completely different problemo

Ahoi,

I've just installed a new windows 11 and compiled the latest HISE
if I now pull and open my project (e.g. UNSTABLE) and try to compile the DSP network
there is this new message @Christoph-Hart added

I assume I have to add a ScriptFX node and go through all the networks and tick/untick all the nodes, but however if I do that and just rightclick a node to access its properties
HISE just does a little crashie on me.

I've recorded a short video here:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ymwnk517pfhfk0iurcmie/IMG_9324.MOV?rlkey=od8drpdds7uc5ugahuwi93606&dl=0

basically all I wanted to do is recompile my project for PC because it still said MyCompany in the plugin info. Please tell me I'm not in for another 3 day adventure to get everything working again. I'm attempting to manually create the node_properties.json maybe that solves it already ;))

@griffinboy

Awesome thanks! I've already consumed some of those, ChowDSP was my read when designing the tape wow thing. Essential! Also did some experiments with WDF in faust so I seem to be on the right track there.

I'll take a deep dive and see what I can come up with!

@griffinboy hit me!

@jenö said in HISE 4.1 release vs compiling from dev branch:

I don't really understand how to keep the self-compiled version up to date and it just seems tideous to check for updates.

He has a point though ;)))
I've gone through that and still am agitated regularly if I have to over and over again, but that's just because I'm an old senile lazy bastard ;) In fact it's quite rewarding once you get a hang of it, gives you a great sense of achievement and I guess it's just what you have to deal with if you want to develop software. No pain no gain. And If I could do it, you can too @jenö - this forum has a superb community helping you on your way to becoming a pro plugin developer! No better place to start than here with HISE! I have spoken. ;o)
