Hi everyone.

Sorry for the off-topic post but i thought I'd share a nice experience with HISE as a tool for education and creativity for music students. In short, was hired by a music festival to do a 5 day workshop in building simple sample based virtual instruments. It was quite hard to organize it during covid measures - but in the end four of the workshop attendies were able to create their own instruments. They recorded samples using their mobile phones, using opensource audio recorder app; convert, cut and prepare samples in audacity and learn basic stuff in HISE for creating standalone and vst instruments.

If you like to check out their work you can download all compiled vst3 win64bit standalones from here
HISE source files from -> here

Students also made a video presentation of their work, you can watch it from -> here
(albanian language version only i'm affraid, but you might be curious how it sounds )

bellow are students instruments interface shots and few photos from the workshop and festival poster of the workshop

Love the Scriptnode, lots to learn yet but it feels so right already!

Makes me happy and had to share!

Many Thanks @Christoph-Hart

Happy to share that the main reason why i use HISE and joined this forum - a personal project that i call ORCHESTOOLS | SECTIONS - a free public virtual orchestra version 1 - is complete now. Took a year to get from an initial idea to a working version.
A motivation behind it was to provide for music students and music enthusiasts a set of free tools for study and composition of orchestral music.

OT SECTIONS features a set of 4 instruments. Each has 4 layers and each layer has independent samplestart, pitch, amp and filter LFO, Envelope and Velocity modulators; each has keyboard range and keyboard volume range, MIDI channel, volume and pan control. It has global compression and convolution reverb, etc...

The whole set is built on samples from Versilian Studios VSCO 2 CE and VSCL libraries. And, of course, hardly any of them would be possible without the help and support from kind and generous people of this forum and the platform built by Christopher. Thank you all!

Re: my first instrument

I've updated and rewritten from the scratch the piano plugin that i made a year ago. New UI and better sounding samplemap. Quite happy with this one and already have ideas and plans for stuff to put on the next update/upgrade.

It is built on Salamander Yamaha C sample library. if you want to check it out and build it on your own (and would aprecciate very much if you happen to build OSX and Linux plugins and/or standalones and if you wouldn't mind sharing them with me, i'll put them on site with credits and stuff)

download from GitHub repository: GitHub / OT PIANO S

Otherwise you can download compiled VST3 and Standalone windows files from here:

happy holidays

This is a new rompler instrument i've built using Versilian Studios VSCO 2 CE sample library. The aim is to create orchestral plugins that sound good and offer a lot of modelling tools. It is a 4 layer rompler, each layer has it's own filter, amplitude and pitch modulators, EQ, A global convolution reverb, compression, library and more....
This is the first of four instrument in the series. Winds, Brass and Perc modul;es will follow.

screenshots and two sound demos bellow.

This is my first attempt at fx plugins. This one uses two pattern based LFO's to modulate Filter and Gain. Patterns can be re-triggered with incoming midi note messages. Filter parameters can be automated, etc...

I am almost finished working on the second version of my first synth experiment from a year ago - ORCHESTOOLS | GENESYN which uses two standard HISE wavegenerator modules. It has now more LFO's, more Envelopes, new UI, an arpeggiator, etc. Now for some preset building and testing. Will upload it on Github for anyone who might be interested to look into it.

Was invited to give a presentation and talk about Virtual Instruments, public domain resources, free and open source tools for creating them and their usage and benefits in education and creativity.

@Christoph-Hart - the new layout looks very nice.

@d-healey said in share: finished OT SECTIONS project:

This is a great contribution! Just be careful Orchestral Tools (OT) doesn't get upset by the name you've chosen.

@d-healey Thank you. Thought about it actualy. I hope not.

@MikeB I often find my self in very simmilar situations, and not only in working with HISE
In my case i found out that leaving projects aside for a while helps me understand them better and often rethink the initial ideas and find solutions. Also i work on at least 7 or 8 other projects in paralel and sometimes problems/solutions relate between them.

But, i doubt i would have gotten anywhere without the help from community here in HISE forum. Especialy since i know almost nothing in regards to scripting and i can therefore easely relate to your problems and frustration.

@sakorada will you be so kind to share your solution please?

You can also use browser based https://designer.gravit.io/ especialy if you need to combine a lot of graphics, photos and text. Free version exports pdf 150Dpi resolution.

There is an 'enable' parameter ID, it switches on/off the arpeggiator.
