HISE Docs

Examples

This section of the documentation is a autogenerated collection of the HISE Snippet database, which is also accessible through the Help Menu in HISE.

The snippets are single files in this repository and are coallescated at non-regular intervals into this collection, so in order to get the latest examples, make sure to use the inbuilt HISE Snippet browser.

The Snippet Browser

The snippet browser will open a separate HISE instance that can be used to load various snippets and port them over to your project. It has an additional tab on the left that lets you search for snippets:

Note: You can hide that tab with View -> Toggle Snippet Browser .

If you open the snippet browser the first time, you'll be asked to pick a folder where it can download the snippets, just pick any directory and press the download button.

There are also a few example assets for each type (MIDI files, samples, etc.) which are referenced by the snippets to make sure that that everybody can load the snippets correctly.

Contributing to the snippet database

The snippet collection is supposed to be the central hub for any examples for HISE going forward and if you have an example snippet that you think is a good piece of knowledge for other users, it's highly encouraged to share it here.

There are two ways of contributing:

  1. Do pull requests in the official repository. If you're going to do that regularly we're happy to grant you write access to the repo so you don't have to wait for the pull request approvals.
  2. Post the snippet content in a dedicated sub forum of the HISE forum. We'll add those to the repos and then delete the posts so that there is no redundant information floating around.

Guidelines for snippets

In order to keep the organisation of the snippet database consistent, please stick to those guidelines when creating the snippets:

Name

Please try to be as descriptive as possible so that your snippet can be found with the search bar.

Note that the search function of the HISE documentation also picks up this title, so if you're naming it after the thing you want to show off, it can be searched in the docs too.

Category

Please pick the relevant category:

Tags

In addition to the category you can assign one or more tags to your snippet. These are more or less self-descriptive, so if you're using a SNEX node, slap that bad boy on your snippet, etc...

Priority

This field will allow the user to sort snippets by priority - the rationale behind this is that there are some snippets that are supposed to be at the top of the list so that people start with those.

Description

This should be a short description of 2-3 sentences (so that it fits in the preview below). If you're focussing on a single thing in the snippet (eg. a module), then a link to the documenation of that thing would be great.

Snippet design

When designing the actual snippets, please consider these suggestions:
