MultichannelMixerSmoothed

Overview

A smoothed mixer module with M outputs and N inputs

Discussion

This time delay module has multiple input and multiple output channels. Smoothed delay can be applied at each intersections of the input and output lines. The delays and gains to be applied at each intersection comes from the control pin. Delays are specified in milliseconds and are in the range of [0 MAXDELAY].

At construction time, you specify the maximum delay (maxDelay) of the module. The variable, maxDelay determines the size of the internal state buffer. The size of the internal state buffer equals (maxDelay+1)*numChannels samples. The module applies smooth cross fading when delay or gain values are changed at run-time.

MATLAB Usage

File Name: multichannel_mixer_smoothed_module.m

M=multichannel_mixer_smoothed_module(NAME, NUMCHANNELS, MAXDELAY, MEMHEAP) Creates a multi-channel time delay in which the delay times are specified in milliseconds. The module has a multichannel input pin and an multichannel output pin. Each output channel is a delayed version of the corresponding input channel with different delay times for each channel. The module applies smooth transition between delay time changes. Arguments: NAME - name of the module. NUMCHANNELS - number of output channels for the module. MAXDELAY - maximum delay, in milliseconds. MEMHEAP - specifies the memory heap to use to allocate the main state buffer. This is a string and follows the memory allocation enumeration in Framework.h. Allowable values are: 'AWE_HEAP_FAST' - always use internal DM memory. 'AWE_HEAP_FASTB' - always use internal PM memory. 'AWE_HEAP_SLOW' - always use external memory. 'AWE_HEAP_FAST2SLOW' - use internal memory. If this fails then use external memory (the default). 'AWE_HEAP_FASTB2SLOW' - use internal memory. If this fails then use external memory.
