@trillbilly If anyone hits the same problem, I got around it by using a tempo-synced ramp and a couple compare nodes to simulate the timers engagement.

Simple and works.

So I've made a minimal snippet that crashes the DAW (Ableton in my case) on every open instance of the plugin.

Can anyone confirm it happens to them as well?

Is there something about the way Im using the timer that is throwing the error?

Im using Develop Branch downloaded 12/12/2025.

Here is the entire network in the snippet:

Has anyone had trouble with the control.timer? Anytime i add it to my scrptnide network and test in Ableton Live, it hard crashes instantly.

Im on a relatively new version of hise, within the last 2 months or so.

Thanks

@Lindon My subscriber list for my Plugins are roughly the same as yours (around 18k). Ill be as open and honest about what Ive done, results, etc since beginning my current plugin company 1 year ago.

My main focus for marketing is collecting emails. I do this in various channels (resellers, free giveaways, exclusive blog discounts, affiliates, etc).

Whenever I have a new release, my email subscribers get it first. Whenever I have a deal/bundle/sale, my email subscribers hear about it first and/or get a special/addional discount.

Any purchase recieves a thank you along with he downloads.

Some amount of time later, usually 5-7 days, i automate an email checking in on how they like the product and if they would leave a review. Leaving a review gets you a small discount/gift card to be used in the store.

As far as campaigns, it depends on what Im aiming for. A new release will get "hype" emails, 1-2/week, for a couple weeks. Then the actual launch and deal will recive 2 emails/week. The final 48 hours receive 2 emails as well for urgency purposes.

Bundles, deals and sale may get a similar treatment just less "hype".

My audience is pretty used to my email format and layout. Im usually pretty straight to the point with a bit of sarcasm. I think being yourself and not bullshitting is pretty important.

I typically can make $2000-$4000 from my email list each release/deal. These deals are usually 2 week periods.

Hopefully something in this ramble while im rocking my daughter to sleep s helpful.

@resonant yes, I think this is it. It pitches the contents of the container rather than the incoming signal.

@dannytaurus So what would be the best way to repitch the actual signal in scriptnode? The PitchMod wont work within the effect network, I believe because its mono. Is this correct?

@Chazrox I was just messing with this as well and thought the same thing. As you move the RepitchFactor knob, you can audibly hear it repitching, but, once you set the knob, the audio seems to be back to normal. I couldn't figure it out.

@d-healey I can just download without permissions?

Hey Gang,

Im working on SoundSync and am having an issue with something. I thought I had it figured out but turns out, I dont.

Im trying to display developer logos from the SoundSync server into the plugin. I've gotten HISE to read and recognize I am sending the image URL but the image never displays.

Is this possible with the download link? Another way?

Thanks,

Aaron

UPDATES:

1. Implemented developer branding info (Brand Color, support email/webpage) from the Tools > Branding section to display directly on the GUI.

2. Logo can be added to this as well by simply adding your logo named "SoundSyncLogo" to the image pool. The script will auto-detect if the logo is present. If you dont have a logo added to the project, it will display initials for your Brand (example: SS for SoundSync) instead.

UPDATES:
Some updates the the HISE Security integration have taken place.

1. All content and components now use Content.add for simplified drop-in. Mostly this means you don't have to manually add the various required panels, labels, etc.

2. Easy LAF color updates for various items.

3. Auto-center the verification panel.

4. Auto-sizing Transparent GUI Blocker.

I will be implementing developer branding info (Brand Color, Logo, support email/webpage) from the Tools > Branding section to display as well.

Check out the HISE Implementation page here (you will need a free account): https://www.soundsyncsolutions.biz/developer/tools/licensingapi

Thanks @Lindon for the awesome feedback.

@lijas90 Thanks.

The HISE integration is a drop-in code. The only item that needs to be updated is an "App Specific Identifier" that you can generate right from the website (Tools > API).

It also has customization options for the coloring, etc.

Also in the works of adding a few more things to this.

I'll get a video done for it ASAP. There is also a demo HISE project included in the Tools > API area.

@Lindon Yep, that was my bad. All good to go now!

Hey Gang,

Soundsync is all fired up! I think all I have left for phase 1 is updating the authentication for tiered dynamics.

https://www.soundsyncsolutions.biz/

You can sign up above for a free Developer account and check it out. Main components at the moment are full serial management, customer management and HISE Security integration for serial validation.

The reseller backend still needs some work so that will be implemented in the coming weeks. I also have tons of tools I plan to integrate into the tools section. If you have any needs or suggestions feel free to let me know and I'll consider them for the update list.

This is the initial phase. Feedback is appreciated.

@keysounds No problem.

@keysounds Try this.

@pcs800 update the values in the gain properties.

@Ben-Catman My first thought would be to just boost the signal before the follower and then reduce it after.

New Updates:

• Custom Prefix for serial generator
• Custom Product Links
• Developer/Reseller Invite System In Place
• Smoothed Custom Domain Process

I will have Free vs Paid tiers in place by this weekend so signups will no longer require a card.

I also have the Website Designer in the pipeline.

If anybody has requests for any specific types of features, just let me know. I'll do my best to get them all added.
