Detailed Description

A multiband compressor module that splits the input signal into multiple bands, applies compression to each, and then recombines them.

The CompressorModule uses a MultibandCompressor to process the incoming audio signal. It provides controls for attack, release, thresholds, ratios, gains, and mix, as well as the ability to enable or disable specific frequency bands. The output includes mean squared levels for input and output of each band for analysis or display.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CompressorModule()

vital::CompressorModule::CompressorModule

(

)

Constructs a CompressorModule, initializing outputs and internal variables.

~CompressorModule()

vital::CompressorModule::~CompressorModule ( )

virtual

Destroys the CompressorModule and releases its resources.

Member Function Documentation

clone()

virtual Processor * vital::CompressorModule::clone ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Creates a clone of this CompressorModule with the same configuration.

Returns

A pointer to the newly cloned CompressorModule instance.

Reimplemented from vital::SynthModule.

enable()

void vital::CompressorModule::enable ( bool enable )

overridevirtual

Enables or disables the compressor module.

When disabled, it resets internal states to ensure a clean start when re-enabled.

Parameters

enable

True to enable, false to disable.

Enables or disables the compressor. When disabled, it resets the internal state.

Reimplemented from vital::SynthModule.

hardReset()

void vital::CompressorModule::hardReset ( )

overridevirtual

Performs a hard reset of the compressor, clearing buffers and resetting all states.

Performs a hard reset on the compressor, clearing all internal buffers and states.

Reimplemented from vital::Processor.

init()

void vital::CompressorModule::init ( )

overridevirtual

Initializes the compressor module and sets up internal parameters and controls.

This creates the internal MultibandCompressor and links various parameters from the modulation system.

Initializes the multiband compressor and connects its outputs and parameters.

This sets up the internal MultibandCompressor, registers it as a processor, and creates modulation controls for attack, release, gains, thresholds, ratios, and mix. It then plugs these controls into the compressor's parameters.

Reimplemented from vital::ProcessorRouter.

processWithInput()

void vital::CompressorModule::processWithInput ( const poly_float * audio_in, int num_samples )

overridevirtual

Processes a block of samples through the compressor with the given input.

Parameters

audio_in	Pointer to the input audio buffer.
num_samples	The number of samples in the buffer.

Processes the given input audio through the multiband compressor.

The method first updates internal parameters by calling SynthModule::process(), then passes the input samples to the compressor for processing.

Reimplemented from vital::Processor.

setSampleRate()

void vital::CompressorModule::setSampleRate ( int sample_rate )

overridevirtual

Sets the sample rate for the compressor to ensure time-based parameters (attack, release) are correct.

Parameters

sample_rate

The new sample rate in Hz.

Updates the sample rate of the compressor and notifies the MultibandCompressor so time-based parameters (attack, release) remain correct.

Reimplemented from vital::ProcessorRouter.
