Detailed Description

template<typename FloatType, typename SmoothingType = ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear>
class juce::SmoothedValue< FloatType, SmoothingType >

A utility class for values that need smoothing to avoid audio glitches.

A ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear template parameter selects linear smoothing, which increments the SmoothedValue linearly towards its target value.

SmoothedValue<float, ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear> yourSmoothedValue;

A ValueSmoothingTypes::Multiplicative template parameter selects multiplicative smoothing increments towards the target value.

SmoothedValue<float, ValueSmoothingTypes::Multiplicative> yourSmoothedValue;

Multiplicative smoothing is useful when you are dealing with exponential/logarithmic values like volume in dB or frequency in Hz. For example a 12 step ramp from 440.0 Hz (A4) to 880.0 Hz (A5) will increase the frequency with an equal temperament tuning across the octave. A 10 step smoothing from 1.0 (0 dB) to 3.16228 (10 dB) will increase the value in increments of 1 dB.

Note that when you are using multiplicative smoothing you cannot ever reach a target value of zero!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SmoothedValue() [1/2]

template<typename FloatType , typename SmoothingType = ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear>

juce::SmoothedValue< FloatType, SmoothingType >::SmoothedValue ( )

noexcept

Constructor.

Definition at line 231 of file juce_SmoothedValue.h.

SmoothedValue() [2/2]

template<typename FloatType , typename SmoothingType = ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear>

juce::SmoothedValue< FloatType, SmoothingType >::SmoothedValue ( FloatType  initialValue )

noexcept

Constructor.

Definition at line 237 of file juce_SmoothedValue.h.

Member Function Documentation

getNextValue()

template<typename FloatType , typename SmoothingType = ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear>

FloatType juce::SmoothedValue< FloatType, SmoothingType >::getNextValue ( )

noexcept

Compute the next value.

Returns

Smoothed value

Definition at line 297 of file juce_SmoothedValue.h.

reset() [1/2]

template<typename FloatType , typename SmoothingType = ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear>

void juce::SmoothedValue< FloatType, SmoothingType >::reset ( double  sampleRate, double  rampLengthInSeconds  )

noexcept

Reset to a new sample rate and ramp length.

Parameters

sampleRate	The sample rate
rampLengthInSeconds	The duration of the ramp in seconds

Definition at line 253 of file juce_SmoothedValue.h.

reset() [2/2]

template<typename FloatType , typename SmoothingType = ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear>

void juce::SmoothedValue< FloatType, SmoothingType >::reset ( int  numSteps )

noexcept

Set a new ramp length directly in samples.

Parameters

numSteps

The number of samples over which the ramp should be active

Definition at line 262 of file juce_SmoothedValue.h.

setTargetValue()

template<typename FloatType , typename SmoothingType = ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear>

void juce::SmoothedValue< FloatType, SmoothingType >::setTargetValue ( FloatType  newValue )

noexcept

Set the next value to ramp towards.

Parameters

newValue

The new target value

Definition at line 272 of file juce_SmoothedValue.h.

skip()

template<typename FloatType , typename SmoothingType = ValueSmoothingTypes::Linear>

FloatType juce::SmoothedValue< FloatType, SmoothingType >::skip ( int  numSamples )

noexcept

Skip the next numSamples samples.

This is identical to calling getNextValue numSamples times. It returns the new current value.
