Detailed Description

template<typename SampleType>
class dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >

A processor to apply standard attack / release ballistics to an input signal.

This is useful in dynamics processors, envelope followers, modulated audio effects and for smoothing animation in data visualisation.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setAttackTime()

template<typename SampleType >
void dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::setAttackTime ( SampleType attackTimeMs)

Sets the attack time in ms.

Attack times less than 0.001 ms will be snapped to zero and very long attack times will eventually saturate depending on the numerical precision used.

◆ setReleaseTime()

template<typename SampleType >
void dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::setReleaseTime ( SampleType releaseTimeMs)

Sets the release time in ms.

Release times less than 0.001 ms will be snapped to zero and very long release times will eventually saturate depending on the numerical precision used.

◆ setLevelCalculationType()

template<typename SampleType >
void dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::setLevelCalculationType ( LevelCalculationType newCalculationType)

Sets how the filter levels are calculated.

Level calculation in digital envelope followers is usually performed using peak detection with a rectifier function (like std::abs) and filtering, which returns an envelope dependant on the peak or maximum values of the signal amplitude.

To perform an estimation of the average value of the signal you can use an RMS (root mean squared) implementation of the ballistics filter instead. This is useful in some compressor and noise-gate designs, or in specific types of volume meters.

◆ prepare()

template<typename SampleType >
void dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::prepare ( const ProcessSpec & spec)

Initialises the filter.

◆ reset() [1/2]

template<typename SampleType >
void dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::reset ( )

Resets the internal state variables of the filter.

◆ reset() [2/2]

template<typename SampleType >
void dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::reset ( SampleType initialValue)

Resets the internal state variables of the filter to the given initial value.

◆ process()

template<typename SampleType >
template<typename ProcessContext >
void dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::process ( const ProcessContext & context)
noexcept

Processes the input and output samples supplied in the processing context.

◆ processSample()

template<typename SampleType >
SampleType dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::processSample ( int channel,
SampleType inputValue )

Processes one sample at a time on a given channel.

Referenced by dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::process().

◆ snapToZero()

template<typename SampleType >
void dsp::BallisticsFilter< SampleType >::snapToZero ( )
noexcept

Ensure that the state variables are rounded to zero if the state variables are denormals.

This is only needed if you are doing sample by sample processing.
