Overview

Smooth mute with synchronous requests

Discussion

Smoothly change the gain of all input channels to 0 (mute) or 1 (unmute). You have full control over the time that it takes to mute and unmute. Gain values applied are available on an optional second output pin.

Set the .asyncCommand or .syncCommand variable to 1 (UNMUTE) to change gain smoothly to 0 after unmuteTime ms. Set to 2 (MUTE) to change gain to 1 after muteTime ms. When asyncCommand is set, the set function returns immediately. When changing syncCommand, the set function returns only after the target has been reached.

The module uses a raised cosine window for muting and unmuting. For memory efficiency the module uses a complex recursion to compute the gain profile for the raised cosine.
