Exponential attack decay envelope. More...

#include <Ead.h>

Detailed Description

Exponential attack decay envelope.

This produces a natural sounding envelope. It calculates a new value each time next() is called, which can be mapped to other parameters to change the amplitude or timbre of a sound.

Note

Currently doesn't work at audio rate... may need larger number types for Q8n8attack and Q8n8decay ?

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Ead()

Ead::Ead ( unsigned int  update_rate )

inline

Constructor.

Parameters

update_rate

Usually this will be MOZZI_CONTROL_RATE or MOZZI_AUDIO_RATE, unless you design another scheme for updating. One such alternative scheme could take turns for various control changes in a rotating schedule to spread out calculations made in successive updateControl() routines.

Member Function Documentation

next()

uint8_t Ead::next ( )

inline

Calculate and return the next envelope value, in the range -128 to 127.

Note

Timing: 5us

Definition at line 115 of file Ead.h.

set()

void Ead::set ( unsigned int  attack_ms, unsigned int  decay_ms  )

inline

Set attack and decay times in milliseconds.

Parameters

attack_ms	The time taken for values returned by successive calls of the next() method to change from 0 to 255.
decay_ms	The time taken for values returned by successive calls of the next() method to change from 255 to 0.

Definition at line 76 of file Ead.h.

setAttack()

void Ead::setAttack ( unsigned int  attack_ms )

inline

Set the attack time in milliseconds.

Parameters

attack_ms

The time taken for values returned by successive calls of the next() method to change from 0 to 255.

Definition at line 52 of file Ead.h.

setDecay()

void Ead::setDecay ( unsigned int  decay_ms )

inline

Set the decay time in milliseconds.

Parameters

decay_ms

The time taken for values returned by successive calls of the next() method to change from 255 to 0.

Definition at line 63 of file Ead.h.

start() [1/2]

void Ead::start ( )

inline

Start the envelope from the beginning.

This can be used at any time, even if the previous envelope is not finished.

Definition at line 87 of file Ead.h.

start() [2/2]

void Ead::start ( unsigned int  attack_ms, unsigned int  decay_ms  )

inline

Set attack and decay times in milliseconds, and start the envelope from the beginning.

This can be used at any time, even if the previous envelope is not finished.

Parameters

attack_ms	The time taken for values returned by successive calls of the next() method to change from 0 to 255.
decay_ms	The time taken for values returned by successive calls of the next() method to change from 255 to 0.
