class MPESynthesiser
 

Detailed Description

Represents an MPE voice that an MPESynthesiser can use to play a sound.

A voice plays a single sound at a time, and a synthesiser holds an array of voices so that it can play polyphonically.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clearCurrentNote()

void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::clearCurrentNote ( )
protectednoexcept

Resets the state of this voice after a sound has finished playing.

The subclass must call this when it finishes playing a note and becomes available to play new ones.

It must either call it in the stopNote() method, or if the voice is tailing off, then it should call it later during the renderNextBlock method, as soon as it finishes its tail-off.

It can also be called at any time during the render callback if the sound happens to have finished, e.g. if it's playing a sample and the sample finishes.

◆ getCurrentlyPlayingNote()

MPENote juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::getCurrentlyPlayingNote ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the MPENote that this voice is currently playing.

Returns an invalid MPENote if no note is playing (you can check this using MPENote::isValid() or MPEVoice::isActive()).

◆ getSampleRate()

double juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::getSampleRate ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the current target sample rate at which rendering is being done.

Subclasses may need to know this so that they can pitch things correctly.

◆ isActive()

virtual bool juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::isActive ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns true if this voice is currently busy playing a sound.

By default this just checks whether getCurrentlyPlayingNote() returns a valid MPE note, but can be overridden for more advanced checking.

◆ isCurrentlyPlayingNote()

bool juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::isCurrentlyPlayingNote ( MPENote  note) const
noexcept

Returns true if the voice is currently playing the given MPENote (as identified by the note's initial note number and MIDI channel).

◆ isPlayingButReleased()

bool juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::isPlayingButReleased ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if a voice is sounding in its release phase.

◆ noteKeyStateChanged()

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::noteKeyStateChanged ( )
pure virtual

Called by the MPESynthesiser to let the voice know that its currently playing note has changed its key state.

This typically happens when a sustain or sostenuto pedal is pressed or released (on an MPE channel relevant for this note), or if the note key is lifted while the sustained or sostenuto pedal is still held down. This will be called during the rendering callback, so must be fast and thread-safe.

◆ notePitchbendChanged()

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::notePitchbendChanged ( )
pure virtual

Called by the MPESynthesiser to let the voice know that its currently playing note has changed its pitchbend value.

This will be called during the rendering callback, so must be fast and thread-safe.

Note: You can call currentlyPlayingNote.getFrequencyInHertz() to find out the effective frequency of the note, as a sum of the initial note number, the per-note pitchbend and the master pitchbend.

◆ notePressureChanged()

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::notePressureChanged ( )
pure virtual

Called by the MPESynthesiser to let the voice know that its currently playing note has changed its pressure value.

This will be called during the rendering callback, so must be fast and thread-safe.

◆ noteStarted()

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::noteStarted ( )
pure virtual

Called by the MPESynthesiser to let the voice know that a new note has started on it.

This will be called during the rendering callback, so must be fast and thread-safe.

◆ noteStopped()

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::noteStopped ( bool  allowTailOff)
pure virtual

Called by the MPESynthesiser to let the voice know that its currently playing note has stopped.

This will be called during the rendering callback, so must be fast and thread-safe.

If allowTailOff is false or the voice doesn't want to tail-off, then it must stop all sound immediately, and must call clearCurrentNote() to reset the state of this voice and allow the synth to reassign it another sound.

If allowTailOff is true and the voice decides to do a tail-off, then it's allowed to begin fading out its sound, and it can stop playing until it's finished. As soon as it finishes playing (during the rendering callback), it must make sure that it calls clearCurrentNote().

◆ noteTimbreChanged()

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::noteTimbreChanged ( )
pure virtual

Called by the MPESynthesiser to let the voice know that its currently playing note has changed its timbre value.

This will be called during the rendering callback, so must be fast and thread-safe.

◆ renderNextBlock() [1/2]

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::renderNextBlock ( AudioBuffer< double > &  ,
int  ,
int   
)
inlinevirtual

Renders the next block of 64-bit data for this voice.

Support for 64-bit audio is optional. You can choose to not override this method if you don't need it (the default implementation simply does nothing).

◆ renderNextBlock() [2/2]

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::renderNextBlock ( AudioBuffer< float > &  outputBuffer,
int  startSample,
int  numSamples 
)
pure virtual

Renders the next block of data for this voice.

The output audio data must be added to the current contents of the buffer provided. Only the region of the buffer between startSample and (startSample + numSamples) should be altered by this method.

If the voice is currently silent, it should just return without doing anything.

If the sound that the voice is playing finishes during the course of this rendered block, it must call clearCurrentNote(), to tell the synthesiser that it has finished.

The size of the blocks that are rendered can change each time it is called, and may involve rendering as little as 1 sample at a time. In between rendering callbacks, the voice's methods will be called to tell it about note and controller events.

◆ setCurrentSampleRate()

virtual void juce::MPESynthesiserVoice::setCurrentSampleRate ( double  newRate)
inlinevirtual

Changes the voice's reference sample rate.

The rate is set so that subclasses know the output rate and can set their pitch accordingly.

This method is called by the synth, and subclasses can access the current rate with the currentSampleRate member.
