I'm finally getting some traction and having a lot of fun. I've read all the documentation I could find and watched all/most of the excellent videos by @d-healey. Clear, well-prepared and well-paced - great work, David!

I decided to experiment with an SFZ instrument (alto Sax). I imported it into the Sampler and all looked fine except that the note was only playing for the length of the sample and then cutting off. I looked in the Sample Editor and it appeared that the loop points hadn't been extracted from the .wav files.

So I renamed one of the .wav files with tokens and selected "Filename Token Parser" and it asked if I wanted to set the loop points from metadata and this time it worked fine.

So I thought, no problem, and wrote a utility to parse the SFZ and rename the .wav files with tokens. At which point I realised that the lokey and hikey did not appear to be part of the available properties. (Serves me right for not reading the documentation carefully - but did I read somewhere that the Importer is scriptable and perhaps I could map additional properties?).

Again, no problem, so I wrote another utility to parse the SFZ, extract the loop points from the .wav files and write out a SampleMap XML. Imported it and this time everything worked fine.

While it was an entertaining couple of hours of coding, it's occurred to me that some of the HISE users will not be programmers, so, (likely as a result of me being a novice at sampling), I'm probably going about things the wrong way.

Hi All,

My first post here.

I recently discovered HISE and decided it looked very interesting. I've been a C/C++ programmer for more than 30 years and I'm extremely impressed with the quality and breadth of Christoph's work on this project.

I've downloaded the code from github and after a few issues building it in VS2015 Pro, I installed VS2017 Community and it all went well after that. Environment is Windows 10 ver 1803.

I've read through the tutorials and watched David's videos and lastly started following Christoph's video on building an instrument in 5 minutes.

Unfortunately, I'm getting somewhat different results from this video. I've got to the part where he adds a Table to the Script Processor and this is where my copy diverges. After adding the table, I don't see the popup which asks for the name of the table. After playing with the Right Panel, I managed to display the InterfacePropertyEditor which was "Disconnected". After connecting it to the Script Processor and selecting the Table, I was able to change the name.

However, the next issue was that there was no code being added to the Script Editor when I added the Table and no JSON code appeared when I dragged the Table.

Seems like I may have missed something in the setup somewhere. I've recompiled the code several times and there are quite a few Warnings (just usual things like unreachable code , unreferenced formal parameters and conversion loss of data) but no Errors. I'm not using IPP at this stage.
