genericParameter
inputGain	If your parameter is not a meter then you should use this category.
outputGain	Currently not used.
inputMeter	The following categories tell the host that this parameter is a meter level value and therefore read-only. Most hosts will display these type of parameters as a meter in the generic view of your plug-in. Pro-Tools will also show the meter in the mixer view.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ AudioParameterChoice()

juce::AudioParameterChoice::AudioParameterChoice	(	const String &	parameterID,
		const String &	name,
		const StringArray &	choices,
		int	defaultItemIndex,
		const String &	label = `String()`,
		std::function< String(int index, int maximumStringLength)>	stringFromIndex = `nullptr`,
		std::function< int(const String &text)>	indexFromString = `nullptr`
	)

Creates a AudioParameterChoice with the specified parameters.

Parameters

parameterID	The parameter ID to use
name	The parameter name to use
choices	The set of choices to use
defaultItemIndex	The index of the default choice
label	An optional label for the parameter's value
stringFromIndex	An optional lambda function that converts a choice index to a string with a maximum length. This may be used by hosts to display the parameter's value.
indexFromString	An optional lambda function that parses a string and converts it into a choice index. Some hosts use this to allow users to type in parameter values.

◆ ~AudioParameterChoice()

juce::AudioParameterChoice::~AudioParameterChoice ( )

override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addListener()

void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::addListener ( Listener * newListener )

inherited

Registers a listener to receive events when the parameter's state changes.

If the listener is already registered, this will not register it again.

See also: removeListener

◆ beginChangeGesture()

void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::beginChangeGesture ( )

inherited

Sends a signal to the host to tell it that the user is about to start changing this parameter.

This allows the host to know when a parameter is actively being held by the user, and it may use this information to help it record automation. If you call this, it must be matched by a later call to endChangeGesture().

◆ convertFrom0to1()

float juce::RangedAudioParameter::convertFrom0to1 ( float v ) const

inlinenoexceptinherited

Denormalises and snaps a value based on the normalisable range.

References juce::jlimit().

◆ convertTo0to1()

float juce::RangedAudioParameter::convertTo0to1 ( float v ) const

inlinenoexceptinherited

Normalises and snaps a value based on the normalisable range.

◆ endChangeGesture()

void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::endChangeGesture ( )

inherited

Tells the host that the user has finished changing this parameter.

This allows the host to know when a parameter is actively being held by the user, and it may use this information to help it record automation. A call to this method must follow a call to beginChangeGesture().

◆ getAllValueStrings()

virtual StringArray juce::AudioProcessorParameter::getAllValueStrings ( ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the set of strings which represent the possible states a parameter can be in.

If you are hosting a plug-in you can use the result of this function to populate a ComboBox listing the allowed values.

If you are implementing a plug-in then you do not need to override this.

◆ getCurrentChoiceName()

String juce::AudioParameterChoice::getCurrentChoiceName ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the name of the currently selected item.

◆ getCurrentValueAsText()

virtual String juce::AudioProcessorParameter::getCurrentValueAsText ( ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the current value of the parameter as a String.

This function can be called when you are hosting plug-ins to get a more specialsed textual represenation of the current value from the plug-in, for example "On" rather than "1.0".

If you are implementing a plug-in then you should ignore this function and instead override getText.

◆ getDefaultValue()

float juce::AudioParameterChoice::getDefaultValue ( ) const

overrideprivatevirtual

This should return the default value for this parameter.

Implements juce::AudioProcessorParameter.

◆ getIndex()

int juce::AudioParameterChoice::getIndex ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the current index of the selected item.

References juce::roundToInt().

◆ getNormalisableRange()

const NormalisableRange<float>& juce::AudioParameterChoice::getNormalisableRange ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the range of values that the parameter can take.

Implements juce::RangedAudioParameter.

◆ getNumSteps()

int juce::AudioParameterChoice::getNumSteps ( ) const

overrideprivatevirtual

Returns the number of steps that this parameter's range should be quantised into.

If you want a continuous range of values, don't override this method, and allow the default implementation to return AudioProcessor::getDefaultNumParameterSteps().

If your parameter is boolean, then you may want to make this return 2.

The value that is returned may or may not be used, depending on the host. If you want the host to display stepped automation values, rather than a continuous interpolation between successive values, you should override isDiscrete to return true.

See also: isDiscrete

Reimplemented from juce::AudioProcessorParameter.

◆ getParameterIndex()

int juce::AudioProcessorParameter::getParameterIndex ( ) const

inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the index of this parameter in its parent processor's parameter list.

◆ getText()

String juce::AudioParameterChoice::getText	(	float	normalisedValue,
		int
	)		const

overrideprivatevirtual

Returns a textual version of the supplied normalised parameter value.

The default implementation just returns the floating point value as a string, but this could do anything you need for a custom type of value.

Reimplemented from juce::AudioProcessorParameter.

◆ getValue()

float juce::AudioParameterChoice::getValue ( ) const

overrideprivatevirtual

Called by the host to find out the value of this parameter.

Hosts will expect the value returned to be between 0 and 1.0.

This could be called quite frequently, so try to make your code efficient. It's also likely to be called by non-UI threads, so the code in here should be thread-aware.

Implements juce::AudioProcessorParameter.

◆ getValueForText()

float juce::AudioParameterChoice::getValueForText ( const String & text ) const

overrideprivatevirtual

Should parse a string and return the appropriate value for it.

Implements juce::AudioProcessorParameter.

◆ isAutomatable()

virtual bool juce::AudioProcessorParameter::isAutomatable ( ) const

virtualinherited

Returns true if the host can automate this parameter.

By default, this returns true.

Reimplemented in juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState::Parameter.

◆ isBoolean()

virtual bool juce::AudioProcessorParameter::isBoolean ( ) const

virtualinherited

Returns whether the parameter represents a boolean switch, typically with "On" and "Off" states.

This information may or may not be used, depending on the host. If you want the host to display a switch, rather than a two item dropdown menu, override this method to return true. You also need to override isDiscrete() to return true and getNumSteps() to return 2.

See also: isDiscrete getNumSteps

Reimplemented in juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState::Parameter, and juce::AudioParameterBool.

◆ isDiscrete()

bool juce::AudioParameterChoice::isDiscrete ( ) const

overrideprivatevirtual

Returns whether the parameter uses discrete values, based on the result of getNumSteps, or allows the host to select values continuously.

This information may or may not be used, depending on the host. If you want the host to display stepped automation values, rather than a continuous interpolation between successive values, override this method to return true.

See also: getNumSteps

Reimplemented from juce::AudioProcessorParameter.

◆ isMetaParameter()

virtual bool juce::AudioProcessorParameter::isMetaParameter ( ) const

virtualinherited

Should return true if this parameter is a "meta" parameter.

A meta-parameter is a parameter that changes other params. It is used by some hosts (e.g. AudioUnit hosts). By default this returns false.

Reimplemented in juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState::Parameter.

◆ isOrientationInverted()

virtual bool juce::AudioProcessorParameter::isOrientationInverted ( ) const

virtualinherited

This can be overridden to tell the host that this parameter operates in the reverse direction.

(Not all plugin formats or hosts will actually use this information).

◆ operator int()

juce::AudioParameterChoice::operator int ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the current index of the selected item.

◆ operator String()

juce::AudioParameterChoice::operator String ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the name of the currently selected item.

◆ operator=()

AudioParameterChoice& juce::AudioParameterChoice::operator= ( int newValue )

Changes the selected item to a new index.

◆ removeListener()

void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::removeListener ( Listener * listener )

inherited

Removes a previously registered parameter listener.

See also: addListener

◆ sendValueChangedMessageToListeners()

void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::sendValueChangedMessageToListeners ( float newValue )

inherited

◆ setValue()

void juce::AudioParameterChoice::setValue ( float newValue )

overrideprivatevirtual

The host will call this method to change the value of a parameter.

The host may call this at any time, including during the audio processing callback, so your implementation has to process this very efficiently and avoid any kind of locking.

If you want to set the value of a parameter internally, e.g. from your editor component, then don't call this directly - instead, use the setValueNotifyingHost() method, which will also send a message to the host telling it about the change. If the message isn't sent, the host won't be able to automate your parameters properly.

The value passed will be between 0 and 1.0.

Implements juce::AudioProcessorParameter.

◆ setValueNotifyingHost()

void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::setValueNotifyingHost ( float newValue )

inherited

A processor should call this when it needs to change one of its parameters.

This could happen when the editor or some other internal operation changes a parameter. This method will call the setValue() method to change the value, and will then send a message to the host telling it about the change.

Note that to make sure the host correctly handles automation, you should call the beginChangeGesture() and endChangeGesture() methods to tell the host when the user has started and stopped changing the parameter.

◆ valueChanged()

virtual void juce::AudioParameterChoice::valueChanged ( int newValue )

protectedvirtual

Override this method if you are interested in receiving callbacks when the parameter value changes.
