Detailed Description

PCM oscillator using Mellotron(R) samples freely available.

demonstrates use of IPCMSampleSource interface object
changes operation form Synth Book; was one-shot and now it loops
samples are very long in duration > 7 seconds

Base Class: ModuleCore

Overrides the five (5) common functions plus a special getParameters() method to return a shared pointer to the parameters structure.
NOTE: These functions have identical names as the SynthModules that own them, however the arguments are different. ModuleCores use the CoreProcData structure for passing arguments into the cores because they are thunk-barrier compliant.
This means that the owning SynthModule must prepare this structure and populate it prior to function calls. The large majority of this preparation is done in the SynthModule constructor and is one-time in nature.

GUI Parameters: PCMOscParameters

GUI parameters are delivered into the core via the thunk-barrier compliant CoreProcData argument that is passed into each function identically
processInfo.moduleParameters contains a void* version of the GUI parameter structure pointer
the Core function casts the GUI parameter pointer prior to usage

Access to Modulators is done via the thunk-barrier compliant CoreProcData argument

processInfo.modulationInputs
processInfo.modulationOutputs

Access to audio buffers (I/O/FM) is done via the thunk-barrier compliant CoreProcData argument

processInfo.inputBuffers
processInfo.outputBuffers
processInfo.fmBuffers

Construction: Cores follow the same construction pattern

set the Module type and name parameters
expose the 16 module strings
expose the 4 mod knob label strings
intialize any internal variables

Standalone Mode:

These objects are designed to be internal members of the outer SynthModule that owns them. They may be used in standalone mode without modification, and you will use the CoreProcData structure to pass information into the functions.

Module Strings, zero-indexed for your GUI Control:

Cello, Choir, M300_Brass, M300A, M300B, MK2_Brass, MK2_Flute, MK2_Violins, String_Section, Woodwinds

ModKnob Strings, for fixed GUI controls by index constant

MOD_KNOB_A = "A"
MOD_KNOB_B = "B"
MOD_KNOB_C = "C"
MOD_KNOB_D = "D"

Render:

renders into the output buffer using pointers in the CoreProcData argument to the render function
renders one block of audio per render cycle
renders in mono that is copied to the right channel as dual-mono stereo
