ha!!! figured it out. it was actually a mix of two things. first the Cmb case was wrong, and it was referring to the wrong name for sampler. i got it to properly recall samples and samplemaps now thanks guys!!! wow that was a stressful 15 days lmao

@mwplugs ah i figured it out

Engine.loadUserPreset("Factory Library/Patches/Default");

worked

im hoping this will be the last time i will have to ask a question here. with your help i have figured out everything function wise in my project now im working on the gui and i have some pretty glaring things i cant figure out:

1. using a png filmstrip for output meter or to reflect any value in general (for vu meter mostly)
2. getting any values to display on the gui from variables like (Engine.getMemoryUsage etc. Synth.getCurrentLevel) i want to know how to display the various outputs of modules and also put the cpu usage, current polyphony and memory used on my gui. everytime i try to write the code i break the whole interface lol.
3. all dealing with preset browser, how do i change the colors on the popup preset explorer obviously the current greenish blue doesnt match anything on my gui.
4. displaying waveforms from sampler or looper on gui maybe?
5. lastly since there isnt an actual compressor fx module in hise with adjustable ratio etc i was assuming you can add your own inthe script fx from the free domain source code from http://musicdsp.org/archive.php?classid=4#207 like the compressor and dynamic convolution in particular. there are alot of codes there and im wondering what the process is of taking those codes and using them in hise..obviously this is the most difficult request but i am really intrigued by it

thanks in advance this is literally all of my remaining questions and im gonna try not to fill up the forum anymore im sure its been annoying im just excited to get working ;)

@d-healey yes i always do that :) haha learned that from trial and error years back lol

@mwplugs fixed. i had to change sample index to zero. its a new field ive never seen it defaults to -1 which makes it not display for some reasoon

@dustbro yeah i figured. im just glad its now a known issue and im not just a crazy person. everyone else was saying it worked. my guess is they havent tried different sample rates

@dustbro has anyone looked into this? its still broken..

also IRs smaller than a certain size dont show up at all. the longer the sweep since to yield more consistent results. but like ive said all aong...a year or so ago i never had any of these issues. it never had issues at other samplerates or was finnicky about the IR lengths bitdepth or sample rate. but im VERY relieved im not the only one experiencing this now so it can be addressed. i was starting to lose it a bit lol

@d-healey lol. im gonna try to compile without IPP first this second. i just knew i needed it for this project so not using it wasnt even an option. if i remembered i had to change things in project properties. IPP single threaded static or multi?...and code generation...runtime do we use /MT or a different option.

but im gonna start now compiling without IPP with my latest known working script node version from a few months ago..where i used convolution and everything successfully..

i saw the devloper thread i tried that...didnt work either

one second ill coile without IPP

any ideas? it seems silly to have to bust out notepad++ and have to do replace on all these lines and also have to have seperate mac and pc presets

the steps in the github have been stripped to nothing. it is saying to use vs2022 now. ok so what do i choose during install. which IPP, what options within projucer etc. there is nothing anymore only a video from 3 years ago :\

@Matt_SF well i figured it out for the most part created somewhat of a custom solution but it works good

so what i need to know now is...

how to send the file folder location of the currently loaded sample to a variable and have it used in the setfile command

and secondly how would make a button randomly select an item in a combo box

so i think im finally ready to finish this project ive been working on but i want to add the ability to click next, previous and random sample from the currently loaded sample folder.

i figured out how to do it through a little customization of a snippet in the forum but that was only to load a static file from a static location simply using numbers..

its like the redrum module in reason, when a kit is loaded any of the slots your can click next or previous to go thru say the different cymbals, hats etc. it would cycle thru whatever was in the current folder that the previous sample was loaded from. i know it would have something to do with arrays etc but its beyond my scope of hise to write something like that honestly.

so how would i do that for multiple loop players say 2 to start

thanks im almost done finally! lol

@mwplugs its a pretty big deal sooo......not being able to compile things is pretty dumb

just was compiling and got an error ive never seen before. HISE image directory not found...although the project loads perfect. ANd also it says this error regardless of if i have embed image files checked or not...so weird. i just compiled this perfectly a few days ago this is out of nowhere.

@mwplugs but yes using the old scriptnode codegen version worked again. seems strange it was broken but ok :/

@d-healey i dont think chris would pointlessly remove the bit of sfz functionality hise had. im hoping to just be able to import sfz files. its a button on the sampler and has been for a long time i hope someone can help me figure out how to actually import them as it would take years to manually make these hise samplemaps...

@mwplugs @Christoph-Hart any thoughts as to why it is throwing this

error now?

@mwplugs if you see here in this thread this is what i did to be able to import them

https://forum.hise.audio/topic/542/import-sfz-from-sf2?_=1649868684909

but for some reason now it isnt working

@d-healey so the structure of an sfz is simple

<group>
lovel=0
hivel=127

<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=60 lokey=30 hikey=61 sample=SubDir/01C4.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=62 lokey=62 hikey=63 sample=SubDir/02D4.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=64 lokey=64 hikey=64 sample=SubDir/03E4.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=65 lokey=65 hikey=66 sample=SubDir/04F4.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=67 lokey=67 hikey=68 sample=SubDir/05G4.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=69 lokey=69 hikey=70 sample=SubDir/06A4.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=71 lokey=71 hikey=71 sample=SubDir/07B4.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=72 lokey=72 hikey=73 sample=SubDir/08C5.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=74 lokey=74 hikey=75 sample=SubDir/09D5.wav
<region> trigger=attack  pitch_keycenter=76 lokey=76 hikey=108 sample=SubDir/10E5.wav

importing an sfz with that structure yields this error

Line 1: no valid parent for group

like i said in my version from a few months ago that worked. for some reason now it isnt working. it seems it wont create a group from parsing the sfz no matter what is inserted code wise :(
