Tried it in Reaper, Cantabile and Console and they don't see it as being a valid plugin. I am guessing that the recent compile messed up the export section of the plugin (main and VSTPluginMain) thus rendering non recognisable as a proper VST(i) DLL.

but it took him only one hour and 15minutes...

A3ntar, thank you for the prompt feedback. Very much appreciated.

Having never tried HighLife before (never really needed a sampler), I downloaded the zip file from the DiscoDSP website and installed it, only to find out that the plugin has been rendered non fonctional by a recent compile (the date of the setup.exe is the 12-11-2007).

Out of principle on how this project was presented, I will not be downloading the source code to verify my claims or to rectify the situation, but I decided to chime in because I would hate for people to think that Arguru's creation is somehow flawed when in fact it is the new owners/maintainers of the code that made the plugin un-recognisable.

To the maintainers, I would suggest you re-check your export (__declspec(dllexport)) declaration(s) or if the project is not using a .def file, to declare the exports via a custom def file and feed that to the linker.

If you want to maintain an openSource project, at least do it properly with release files history on the sourceForge (so people can revert to previous versions like in this case) site and minimal amount of QA.

confirmed as non working!

Ooops, I think I know what I did wrong ... VST has more than one possible entry point, and it seems that for some reason I forgot one which just happened to work fine when not used in the hosts I tested.

Going to send george the new .dll in just a few minutes --- sorry

The new binary DLL is now available. Source Forge may take a while to refresh the files and I recommend to download from http://www.discodsp.com/highlife instead.

Well, first get yourself a cvs app (like this one), george posted how to use it here

Me too, in the past I've just browsed the source online, but I'd like to download this so I can compile it and mess around with it

Shif.
Please try http://www.discodsp.com/download/?id=8 until we get a new build who has been enhanced.

thanks guys

Is there a difference between this new build and the last build before becoming open source (besides the user agreement)?

It's not compatible with previous HighLife releases (it says so on the website and in the installer). You can install them side-by-side, of course.

Is that due to using VST2.4?

Any other differences in features, bug fixes (if there were any), etc...

Chris Walton · Post by **Chris Walton** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 11:24 pm

Not because of VST SDK 2.4, and yes there are differences. I'd better let george explain.

I love Highlife and what can be done with it

but IMHO the smell coming from DiscoDSP is real bad, think I will have to grab my coat and leave now.

Peace

So what's the difference between the original and open source version? I noticed you can't save to .fxp anymore. And there seems to be no preset system?
