Overview

Smoothly varying linear scaler Fract32 module with independent gains

Discussion

Multichannel scaler, where each input channel has its own individual smoothly varying gain value. The gain parameter consists of an array of gains, one per input/output channel. All gain parameters are exponentially smoothed (first order IIR) at the sample rate, with the smoothingTime parameter determining the smoothing rate for all of the gain values.

ScalerNFract32 is an unsmoothed version of this module.

Type Definition

typedef struct _ModuleScalerNSmoothedFract32
{
    ModuleInstanceDescriptor instance;            // Common Audio Weaver module instance structure
    FLOAT32 smoothingTime;                        // Time constant of the smoothing process
    fract32 smoothingCoeff;                       // Smoothing coefficient
    INT32 postShift;                              // Number of bits to shift after the fractional multiply. This is based on gain.range.
    FLOAT32 twoPowMinusPostShift;                 // 2^(-postShift). Used by to streamline the operation of the set function
    FLOAT32* gain;                                // Array of gains, one per channel
    fract32* targetGain;                          // Array of gains, one per channel
    fract32* currentGain;                         // Array of instantaneous gains, one per channel

MATLAB Usage

File Name: scalern_smoothed_fract32_module.m

 M=scalern_smoothed_fract32_module(NAME)
 The scaler operates on fractional 32-bit values. By default, the scaler
 has a single multichannel input and scales all channels by the same
 value.  Arguments:
    NAME - name of the module.
