Detailed Description

Digitally Controlled Amplifier module.

CAN load and support up to NUM_MODULE_CORES (4) cores
there are NO cores currently defined as the object is so simple
this is an example of a SynthModule that implements its functionality DIRECTLY and without ModuleCores

Base Class: SynthModule

Overrides the five (5) common functions plus a special getParameters() method to return a shared pointer to the parameters structure.

Databases: None

GUI Parameters: DCAParameters

getParameters() function allows direct access to std::shared_ptr<DCAParameters>

std::shared_ptr<DCAParameters> getParameters()

call the getParameters() function
set the parameters in the DCAParameters structure with new values, typically from a GUI To apply these new parameters either:
(a) call the module's update() function OR
(b) call the render() function which in turn calls the update() method.

Ordinarily, this operation happens just prior to calling the render() function so that is the preferred method of operation to avoid multiple calls to the update() function, which is usually the most CPU intensive function of the SynthModule.

Access to Modulators

std::shared_ptr<Modulators> getModulationInput()
std::shared_ptr<Modulators> getModulationOutput()

Access to audio buffers (I/O)

std::shared_ptr<AudioBuffer> getAudioBuffers()

Reads:

Modulation Input Values (modulators)
AudioBuffer Input samples

Writes:

AudioBuffer Output samples

Construction:

(1) For use within a synth project, the constructor is specialized to use shared recources for:

The owning object (SynthVoice for the SynthLab projects) must pass these valid pointers to the object at construction time. Typically the engine or voice will be the primary synthesizers of these resources. See the 2nd Edition Synth Book for more information.

(2) Standalone:

To use in standalone mode, call the constructor with the shared resoure pointers as null:

DCA(nullptr, nullptr, nullptr, 64);

In standalone mode, the object creates and maintains these resources:

MidiInputData: this has no read access so you cannot access its data. Ordinarily, you pass this shared pointer into the object so that it has access to the current MIDI input data. The object does not write data into this resource, so it is functionally non-opeational.
DCAParameters: in standalone mode only, these are synthesized locally on the object, and then the owning object may obtain a shared pointer to them to read/write the parameters directly.

Render:

processes audio from and to its own AudioBuffers object; see SynthModule::getAudioBuffers()
processes stereo by default

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DCA()

SynthLab::DCA::DCA	(	std::shared_ptr< MidiInputData >	_midiInputData,
		std::shared_ptr< DCAParameters >	_parameters,
		uint32_t	blockSize = `64`
	)

Constructs Digitally Controlled Amplifier module.

One and only specialized constructor; pointers may be null for stanalone

See class declaration for information on standalone operation

Parameters

_midiInputData	shared MIDI input resource; may be nullptr
_parameters	shared GUI and operational parameters; may be nullptr
blockSize	the synth block process size in frames (stereo)

Returns: the newly constructed object

Member Function Documentation

◆ doNoteOff()

bool SynthLab::DCA::doNoteOff ( MIDINoteEvent & noteEvent )

overridevirtual

Perform note-off operations for the component; Here there is nothing to do.

Returns: true if handled, false if not handled

Implements SynthLab::SynthModule.

◆ doNoteOn()

bool SynthLab::DCA::doNoteOn ( MIDINoteEvent & noteEvent )

overridevirtual

Perform note-on operations for the component.

Returns: true if handled, false if not handled

Implements SynthLab::SynthModule.

◆ getParameters()

std::shared_ptr<DCAParameters> SynthLab::DCA::getParameters ( )

inline

For standalone operation only; not used in SynthLab synth projects

◆ render()

bool SynthLab::DCA::render ( uint32_t samplesToProcess = 1 )

overridevirtual

Processes audio from the input buffers to the output buffers.

Calls the update function first - NOTE: owning object does not need to call update()
samples to process should normally be the block size, but may be a partial block in some cases due to OS/CPU activity.
the input and output buffers are accessed with audioBuffers->getInputBuffer() and audioBuffers->getOutputBuffer()

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise

Implements SynthLab::SynthModule.

◆ reset()

bool SynthLab::DCA::reset ( double _sampleRate )

overridevirtual

Resets object to initialized state.

SynthModule Overrides

call once during initialization
call any time sample rate changes (after init)

Parameters

_sampleRate the current sample rate in Hz

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise

Implements SynthLab::SynthModule.

◆ update()

bool SynthLab::DCA::update ( )

overridevirtual

Updates object by applying GUI parameter and input modulations to the internal variables.

calculates a set of gain values, then applies them to the left and right channels
basically a big gain calculator

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise

Implements SynthLab::SynthModule.
