#pragma once #include "../plugin.h" #include "../string-sizes.h" /// @page Parameters /// @brief parameters management /// /// Main idea: /// /// The host sees the plugin as an atomic entity; and acts as a controller on top of its parameters. /// The plugin is responsible for keeping its audio processor and its GUI in sync. /// /// The host can at any time read parameters' value on the [main-thread] using /// @ref clap_plugin_params.value(). /// /// There are two options to communicate parameter value changes, and they are not concurrent. /// - send automation points during clap_plugin.process() /// - send automation points during clap_plugin_params.flush(), for parameter changes /// without processing audio /// /// When the plugin changes a parameter value, it must inform the host. /// It will send @ref CLAP_EVENT_PARAM_VALUE event during process() or flush(). /// If the user is adjusting the value, don't forget to mark the begining and end /// of the gesture by sending CLAP_EVENT_PARAM_GESTURE_BEGIN and CLAP_EVENT_PARAM_GESTURE_END /// events. /// /// @note MIDI CCs are tricky because you may not know when the parameter adjustment ends. /// Also if the host records incoming MIDI CC and parameter change automation at the same time, /// there will be a conflict at playback: MIDI CC vs Automation. /// The parameter automation will always target the same parameter because the param_id is stable. /// The MIDI CC may have a different mapping in the future and may result in a different playback. /// /// When a MIDI CC changes a parameter's value, set the flag CLAP_EVENT_DONT_RECORD in /// clap_event_param.header.flags. That way the host may record the MIDI CC automation, but not the /// parameter change and there won't be conflict at playback. /// /// Scenarios: /// /// I. Loading a preset /// - load the preset in a temporary state /// - call @ref clap_host_params.rescan() if anything changed /// - call @ref clap_host_latency.changed() if latency changed /// - invalidate any other info that may be cached by the host /// - if the plugin is activated and the preset will introduce breaking changes /// (latency, audio ports, new parameters, ...) be sure to wait for the host /// to deactivate the plugin to apply those changes. /// If there are no breaking changes, the plugin can apply them them right away. /// The plugin is resonsible for updating both its audio processor and its gui. /// /// II. Turning a knob on the DAW interface /// - the host will send an automation event to the plugin via a process() or flush() /// /// III. Turning a knob on the Plugin interface /// - the plugin is responsible for sending the parameter value to its audio processor /// - call clap_host_params->request_flush() or clap_host->request_process(). /// - when the host calls either clap_plugin->process() or clap_plugin_params->flush(), /// send an automation event and don't forget to set begin_adjust, /// end_adjust and should_record flags /// /// IV. Turning a knob via automation /// - host sends an automation point during clap_plugin->process() or clap_plugin_params->flush(). /// - the plugin is responsible for updating its GUI /// /// V. Turning a knob via plugin's internal MIDI mapping /// - the plugin sends a CLAP_EVENT_PARAM_SET output event, set should_record to false /// - the plugin is responsible to update its GUI /// /// VI. Adding or removing parameters /// - if the plugin is activated call clap_host->restart() /// - once the plugin isn't active: /// - apply the new state /// - if a parameter is gone or is created with an id that may have been used before, /// call clap_host_params.clear(host, param_id, CLAP_PARAM_CLEAR_ALL) /// - call clap_host_params->rescan(CLAP_PARAM_RESCAN_ALL) static CLAP_CONSTEXPR const char CLAP_EXT_PARAMS[] = "clap.params"; #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif enum { // Is this param stepped?
