@d-healey ah ok strange.
Thankyou for your help as I now have it working properly and selecting the correct samplemaps.
I've also got the expansion load working in daw as well so I can progress with my project which is great news.
Thanks again, your help is always invaluable
Ah I see, so it was there just collapsed inside the function as it was created inside a function?
@d-healey Ok thankyou. I have created a minimal project and sent it to you via DM
@d-healey it should be I think as the cmbExpansion value is changing correctly which is the value that the if/else is looking at
If I choose the first entry in the combobox it looks like this
and it changes accordingly if I choose another entry further down the list
That being said cx still doesn't show up in the scriptwatchtable if it is a local var in the else clause, should it?
Would it be easier if I made a minimal snippet or very light version on the project as I feel I have probably set something up fundamentally wrong and you won't be able to spot it from my poorly explained snippets of code above
@d-healey I have moved cx to const var outside of the function or else it doesn't show up at all in the scriptwatchtable. Now that I have moved it it exists but is blank
As a result the combobox is now completely empty and I have these errors in the console
So I guess the question is how do I get the var cx to populate correctly?
@d-healey In the combobox itself just the factory/non expansion samplemaps populating the list and a seemingly random one is chosen - presumably it is actually in the same position number as the one I want it to load in the expansion.
The sampler itself looks like the screenshot so there is a disparity between what is in the combo box and what is in the sampler at this point which is not the case for the non expansion samplemaps
This is terrible coding I am aware but I am on about my 10th iteration of trying to get it to do something and ghot myself in a bit of a muddle.
inline function oncmbSampleControl(component, value)
{
local expansionToLoad = component.getItemText();
if(cmbExpansions.getValue() < 2) //1 is factory all expansions are 2 or higher
{
SampleMapSwitch.set("items", sampleMaps.join("\n"));
Sampler1.asSampler().loadSampleMap(sampleMaps[value-1]);
}
else
{
local cx = expHandler.getCurrentExpansion();
local xs = cx.getSampleMapList();
SampleMapSwitch.set("items", xs.join("\n"));
Sampler1.asSampler().loadSampleMap(xs[value]);
}
};
Content.getComponent("cmbSample").setControlCallback(oncmbSampleControl);
This will not give the unknown function error but it also won't select the correct sample map.
What it does do is take one from the same position in the factory list (I think) and loads that instead of an expansion samplemap.
As an aside, it appears to load the expansion and shows the rest of the samplemaps from the expansion in the sampler, but it won't select them via the preset browser and they aren't listed in the samplemapswitch combo box, they only appear in the sampler itself as shown below
Hopefully it is something very silly I have done and you can point it out as I am at a loss with it at the moment.
In another inline function trying to call the current expansion using getCurrentExpansion (I'm not at my pc right now so I think it was that function)
Do I need to replicate these vars from the expansions code I posted but for the sample maps?
const var expansions = Engine.getExpansionList();
const var expansionNames = [];
As you can probably tell I'm a little lost after trying various combinations over the past week and getting mixed results.
@rzrsharpeprod said in Expansions sample maps:
I have searched the forum as well as watching both of David's videos on expansions but I can't figure out what I need to do so hoping somebody can help me on here.
I have a project and have added a couple of expansions to it, I followed David's video to setup a combo box selection for the expansion as well as editing the laf of the preset browser, all that works correctly but what I can't do is get the samplemaps to populate correctly in a combo box. By extension I also can't get the samplemap to be selected in the sampler.
I have never really dabbled with expansions before and am finding it a little challenging. If somebody help me that would be great as I've been trying to figure this out for most of the week and have had varying degrees of success and failure.
To try and explain myself a bit better (as I was sitting in A&E in the early hours of this morning and didn't have access to any code)
here is the code used to populate the expansions combobox
//Expansions
const var expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();
const var expansions = Engine.getExpansionList();
const var expansionNames = [];
for(e in expansions)
{
var p = e.getProperties();
expansionNames.push(p.Name);
}
const var cmbExpansions = Content.getComponent("cmbExpansions");
cmbExpansions.set("items", expansionNames.join("\n"));
inline function oncmbExpansionsControl(component, value)
{
expHandler.setCurrentExpansion(component.getItemText());
};
Content.getComponent("cmbExpansions").setControlCallback(oncmbExpansionsControl);
How can I do something similar but for the samplemaps that are inside the expansion so that I can build presets with them?
In the API there is
Expansion.getSampleMapList
but this give me an unknown function error and I can't see anything in the expansionHandler section relating to samplemaps so I am not sure how to call/reference them?
What I would like to do is populate the 'regular samplemap' combo box with the factory samplemaps if no expansion is selected and then populate it with the expansion samplemaps if an expansion is loaded so I can build presets using them. I can do this via an if statement once I can call the expansion samplemaps but I am falling at that previous step.
Unless I am being overly complicated and there is a much simpler solution that I am missing?
Any advice & help is appreciated as my project has ground to a halt until I can solve this issue.

I have just updated to Hise 4.0 and imported my project from 3.62 but I am now having an issue with loading audio files into the loop player.
Previously I could either right click to load or drag and drop a file onto the audio waveform in the UI to load a file.
Since I have updated, I can still right click to load a file but it won't let me drag and drop anymore, I get the circle with a diagonal line through it, I can see that there are some newer features on the loop player in 4.0 such as left click to load etc but I can't seem to find a setting to allow drag and drop. Previously it was on by default.
The 2nd question is about this symbol 
I have 2 loop players & 2 audio waveforms that are set up the same parameter wise but one has this symbol in the top left hand corner and the other one doesn't and I can't figure out why.
I'm happy to either have it on for both or off for both (as long as it doesn't affect any functionality) but I can't figure out where it can be turned on/off.
Thanks in advance
@Lindon I just found this thread which seems to be exactly what I am looking for.
https://forum.hise.audio/topic/7812/audioloop-player-granulator-file-handling/4?_=1722250501048
I shall try this out when I get home but from reading it through it looks like it should give me enough to get to where I need to get to and build from there.
Maybe I explained poorly in the beginning. In my case the waveform in the UI is connected to the loop player not the granulator,
Basically I have the loop player & the granulator but in the UI it is just the waveform for the loop player which the user can drag and drop the wav file into. The granulator is hidden or at least has no waveform in the UI, only some controls that the user can use to tweak the granulator.
What I want to be able to do but can't figure out how is for the user to drop the file into the loop player waveform but also to load that same file into the hidden granulator at the same time so that a granulated version of that file can then be blended by the user.
Basically, I don't want the user to have to load the same file twice - once into the loop player and once into the granulator as this seems like a poor user experience and feels like something that should be possible via scripting but I am struggling to figure it out.
Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the beginning
@Lindon said in Granulator audio file:
@rzrsharpeprod so..
you've got a widget in the Ui the the user can drop an audio file on to... = yourLoopWidgetNameHere
..and you've got some sort of processor in the back end that "processes" files.... = yourAudioFileID
Note: I've only ever done this with LoopPlayers and AudioWaveforms - so the granulator in you example might be a bit different - @Christoph may be able to clarify this..
Right ok so the yourAudiofileID is the name of the LoopPlayer in my project? That makes more sense, I was thinking it was some reference to the actual file somehow.
So now filling all of that in correctly, what do I need to fill in for the target property to avoid the error I am getting?
Sorry for all of the questions, I am struggling to fully understand what I need to do and what it is trying to do.
I can't seem to wrap my head around what it is doing try as I might as I am expecting to see some 'get file name', 'load file' type functions in there but as there aren't any I just don't understand and it is making me feel dumber than usual haha
@Lindon Thankyou, I will try and apply this tonight and watch David's video as well and hope that helps as I am not really understanding how to make it work even with the notes you added.
It's calling the actual granulator and the ID of the file that I am struggling with most of all.
The granulator is in a scriptFX module, it will be built as a DLL at some point but can it be called easily enough by simply referencing the module and the name of the granulator eg ScriptFX.granulator1?
The "yourAudiofileID"/processor id is the other thing I am struggling with as obviously it can be any file that the user drops in so I don't know what to put in the "yourAudiofileID" part.
Is there some of wildcard or variable that can be entered here to represent the random file or is there a specific reference I need to put in for Audio Loop Player?
Then once the above is sorted, I have to make sure it loads that same file into the granulator which is ultimately what I want. It may or may not do that, I will find out once I have worked through the above.
@Lindon
Hi, I have played with this for a little bit over the past few days and I don't really understand what it is doing so am struggling to link it to the relevant parts of my project.
Would you be able to show me it in a simple snippet so that I can see how the parts of the script reference the various components etc so that I can get a better understanding of the relationships and what part if the script is calling what etc?
@Lindon Amazing, thankyou. I will have a look at this properly when I get home and give it a go.
Thankyou , much appreciated.
I may be back with questions I'd imagine :)
Good morning all,
I am not sure if this is possible but I thought I'd ask as I am trying to improve user experience and reduce the amount of things that need to be dragged and dropped in my plugin.
Is there a way to use the same audio file in the granulator as the audio loop player. As in can I code something so a user can drag and drop a file in the audio loop player and then that same audio file automatically populates the granulator audio file as well? This way they only have to drag and drop 1 file rather than 2 and I can leave the granulator 'window' hidden and out of the way as well.
Thanks in advance
@d-healey Thankyou, as usual your help was invaluable.
Ironically I have been using autocomplete quite a bit recently but it didn't even occur to me in this case.
Thanks again, it is doing what I want it to do now
@d-healey I have managed to get mostly what I wanted LAF wise, I just have 1 question now.
How do I get rid of this grid please?
I have tried creating LAF functions using the following
EQLAF.registerFunction("drawFilterPath"...
EQLAF.registerFunction("drawAnalyserGrid"...
EQLAF.registerFunction("drawAnalyserBackground"...
but can't get any of them to affect the BG and remove the grid.
