noexcept |
|
virtual |
Destructor.
void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::addListener | ( | Listener * | newListener | ) |
Registers a listener to receive events when the parameter's state changes.
If the listener is already registered, this will not register it again.
void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::beginChangeGesture | ( | ) |
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().
void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::endChangeGesture | ( | ) |
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().
|
virtual |
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.
|
virtual |
Returns the parameter's category.
Reimplemented in juce::AudioProcessorParameterWithID.
|
virtual |
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.
|
pure virtual |
This should return the default value for this parameter.
Implemented in juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState::Parameter, juce::AudioParameterFloat, juce::AudioParameterChoice, juce::AudioParameterInt, and juce::AudioParameterBool.
|
pure virtual |
Some parameters may be able to return a label string for their units.
For example "Hz" or "%".
Implemented in juce::AudioProcessorParameterWithID.
Returns the name to display for this parameter, which should be made to fit within the given string length.
Implemented in juce::AudioProcessorParameterWithID.
|
virtual |
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.
Reimplemented in juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState::Parameter, juce::AudioParameterFloat, juce::AudioParameterChoice, juce::AudioParameterInt, juce::AudioParameterBool, and juce::RangedAudioParameter.
|
inlinenoexcept |
Returns the index of this parameter in its parent processor's parameter list.
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 in juce::AudioPluginInstance::Parameter, juce::AudioParameterFloat, juce::AudioParameterChoice, juce::AudioParameterInt, and juce::AudioParameterBool.
|
pure virtual |
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.
Implemented in juce::AudioParameterFloat, juce::AudioParameterChoice, juce::AudioParameterInt, and juce::AudioParameterBool.
|
pure virtual |
Should parse a string and return the appropriate value for it.
Implemented in juce::AudioPluginInstance::Parameter, juce::AudioParameterFloat, juce::AudioParameterChoice, juce::AudioParameterInt, and juce::AudioParameterBool.
|
virtual |
Returns true if the host can automate this parameter.
By default, this returns true.
Reimplemented in juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState::Parameter.
|
virtual |
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
.
Reimplemented in juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState::Parameter, and juce::AudioParameterBool.
|
virtual |
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.
Reimplemented in juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState::Parameter, juce::AudioParameterChoice, and juce::AudioParameterBool.
|
virtual |
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.
|
virtual |
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).
void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::removeListener | ( | Listener * | listener | ) |
Removes a previously registered parameter listener.
void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::sendValueChangedMessageToListeners | ( | float | newValue | ) |
|
pure virtual |
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.
Implemented in juce::AudioParameterFloat, juce::AudioParameterChoice, juce::AudioParameterInt, and juce::AudioParameterBool.
void juce::AudioProcessorParameter::setValueNotifyingHost | ( | float | newValue | ) |
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.
