Overview
Solo and mute control module
Discussion
Solo and Mute Control module. When the second argument NUMPINS is 1, then the solo and mute control is applied to each individual channel. Otherwise the solo and mute control is applied to each individual input pin as a whole. The array .isMuted is used for mute control and the array .isSolo is for solo control. When both are selected, mute has higher priority over solo. In all cases, the array length is updated by the prebuild function.
The module does smooth muting and unmuting. The speed of the smoothing operation is set by the .smoothingTime variable. The module's set function translates the smoothingTime to an internal smoothingCoeff. When the module is built it starts out in a converged state.
By default, the inspector for the module has the control checkboxes organized in a vertical stack. By setting the optional third argument TRANSPOSE = 1 turns the control into a horizontal stack.
Type Definition
typedef struct _ModuleSoloMute

ModuleInstanceDescriptor instance; // Common Audio Weaver module instance structure
INT32 numControls; // Number of individual mute controls
FLOAT32 smoothingTime; // Time constant of the smoothing process
FLOAT32 smoothingCoeff; // Smoothing coefficient.
INT32* isSolo; // Boolean that controls pin solo. One per each pin.
INT32* isMuted; // Boolean that controls pin muted or unmuted. One per each pin.
FLOAT32* currentGain; // Instantaneous gain applied by the module. This is also the starting gain of the module.
FLOAT32* gain; // Target gain.

MATLAB Usage
File Name: solo_mute_module.m
M=solo_mute_module(NAME, NUMPINS, NUMCHANNELS, TRANSPOSE)
Creates a solo or mute control module.
Arguments:
NAME - name of the module.
NUMPINS - optional argument that specifies the number of input pins.
When NUMPINS is 1, the solo and mute control apply to each individual
channel within the input pin.
When NUMPINS is more than 1, the solo and mute control apply to
those input pins. By default, NUMPINS=1.
NUMCHANNELS - optional argument that specifies the initial number
of channels in the wire. When the system is built, the number
of channels is derived by pin propagation. This value is only
for the initial behavior before the system is built. By default,
NUMCHANNELS = 2.
TRANSPOSE - an optional argument which controls how the inspector
for the module is drawn. By default, if there are N channels
then the inspector control is a vertical stack of N checkboxes.
(TRANSPOSE = 0 by default). If TRANSPOSE = 1, then the inspector
is drawn as a horizontal array of N checkboxes.
