Easily manage audio processing effects in your NGT applications

Class: effect

Description

The effect class provides a foundation for managing sound effects in a program. It serves as a base class for more specific sound effects, such as reverbs.

Constructor

• effect(string&in type)
  • Initializes the effect with a specified type.
• effect()
  • Default constructor.

Methods

• bool in_range(float value, float min, float max)
  • Checks if a value falls within a specified range (min to max, inclusive).
    • Remarks: Used internally to validate parameter values.
• bool is_safe(sound@handle)
  • Checks if a sound handle is valid and active.
    • Remarks: Ensures that the sound handle is usable.
• bool attach(sound@handle)
  • Attaches the effect to a sound handle, if safe, and configures the effect.
    • Remarks: Can be used to apply the effect to a regular sound object or a sound pool.
• bool configure_effect(sound@handle)
  • Configures the effect for a given sound handle.
    • Remarks: Should be overridden by derived classes to implement specific effect configurations.

Remarks

• The effect class provides a foundation for implementing various sound effects.
• This class can be used with regular sound objects or the sound pool.

Class: delay_node

Description

The delay_node class represents a delay effect, which is an audio effect that repeats a sound after a certain amount of time, creating an echo-like effect. It inherits from the effect class.

Constructor

• delay_node(float dry, float wet, float decay)
  • Initializes the delay effect with specified parameters: dryness, wetness, and decay.
• delay_node()
  • Default constructor. Initializes the delay effect with default parameter values.

Methods

• bool set_dry(float value)
  • Sets the dry parameter of the delay effect.
• bool set_wet(float value)
  • Sets the wet parameter of the delay effect.
• bool set_decay(float value)
  • Sets the decay parameter of the delay effect.
• bool config_from_preset(delay_node_preset@preset)
  • Configures the delay effect based on a preset.
• bool configure_effect(sound@handle)
  • Configures the delay effect for a given sound handle.

Remarks

• The delay_node class provides functionality for managing delay effects in audio processing.
• Parameter values should be in the range from 0.1 to 1.0.
• This class can be used with regular sound objects or the sound pool.

Class: reverb

Description

The reverb class represents a reverb effect, a type of audio effect commonly used in digital signal processing to simulate reverberation in an environment.

Inherits from

• effect

Constructor

• reverb(float dry, float wet, float room_size, float damping, float mode)
  • Initializes the reverb effect with specified parameters (dry, wet, room_size, damping, mode). Each parameter should be in the range from 0.1 to 1.0.
• reverb()
  • Default constructor.

Methods

• bool set_dry(float value)
  • Sets the dry parameter of the reverb effect.
• bool set_wet(float value)
  • Sets the wet parameter of the reverb effect.
• bool set_room_size(float value)
  • Sets the room size parameter of the reverb effect.
• bool set_damping(float value)
  • Sets the damping parameter of the reverb effect.
• bool set_mode(float value)
  • Sets the mode parameter of the reverb effect.
• bool config_from_preset(reverb_preset@preset)
  • Configures the reverb effect based on a preset.
• bool configure_effect(sound@handle)
  • Configures the reverb effect for a given sound handle.

Remarks

• The reverb class represents a specific type of audio effect used to simulate reverberation.
• It inherits from the effect class and provides methods to configure reverb parameters.
• This class can be used with regular sound objects or the sound pool.

Class: effect_presets

Description

The effect_presets class stores and manages presets for various sound effects.

Properties

• effect_presets: A dictionary used to store effect presets.

Methods

• effect_preset@find_effect_preset(const string&in name): Finds an effect preset by name.

Remarks

• This class allows for easy retrieval and management of effect presets.
• Presets are stored based on their names and can be accessed using the find_effect_preset method.

Class: effect_preset

Description

The effect_preset class represents a generic sound effect preset.

Properties

• name: The name of the preset.
• effect_type: The type of effect associated with the preset.

Constructor

• effect_preset(const string&in name, int effect_type): Initializes the effect preset with a name and effect type.

Remarks

• This class serves as a base class for more specific effect presets.
• Effect presets can be of different types, such as reverb or delay.

Class: reverb_preset

Description

The reverb_preset class represents a preset for a reverb effect.

Inherits from

• effect_preset

Properties

• dry: The dry parameter of the reverb effect.
• wet: The wet parameter of the reverb effect.
• room_size: The room size parameter of the reverb effect.
• damping: The damping parameter of the reverb effect.
• mode: The mode parameter of the reverb effect.

Constructor

• reverb_preset(string&in name, float dry, float wet, float room_size, float damping, float mode): Initializes the reverb preset with specified parameters.

Remarks

• This class represents a specific preset for a reverb effect.
• It inherits properties and methods from the effect_preset class.

Class: delay_node_preset

Description

The delay_node_preset class represents a preset for a delay effect.

Inherits from

• effect_preset

Properties

• dry: The dry parameter of the delay effect.
• wet: The wet parameter of the delay effect.
• decay: The decay parameter of the delay effect.

Constructor

• delay_node_preset(string&in name, float dry, float wet, float decay): Initializes the delay preset with specified parameters.

Remarks

• This class represents a specific preset for a delay effect.
• It inherits properties and methods from the effect_preset class.
