Matlab, Audio Toolbox, Live Audio Tuning Problem with Plugin: How do I handle more than one property?

1 view (last 30 days)
I want to implement an plugin with multiple properties. I want to controll every property on its own via a slider. I create my UI with parameterTuner(). I have no problem implementing one property, for example gain (see my code below). I understand, that the functionality is implemented in the process funtion. I also understand, that the sliders are specified in audioPluginInterface(). I can create the sliders i want, but i dont get how i can add functionality to more than one slider. Using the (i think requiered) process function which hosts the slider functionaliy, i can only add functionality to one slider. I need to know how i can add functionality to additional sliders (or knobs, etc).
This is my Plugin Code. I am currently able to adjust my gain property and now i want to have a seperate, additional slider to adjust my stereo width.
classdef VoicePlugin < audioPlugin
properties
Gain = 1;
Width = 1;
end
properties (Constant)
PluginInterface = audioPluginInterface(audioPluginParameter('Gain',... %gain slider AllREADY IMPLEMTED
'DisplayName','Gain', ...
'Mapping',{'lin',-48,12}, ...
'Layout',[1,1], ...
'Style','vslider'), ...
audioPluginParameter('Width', ... %stereo width slider I WANT TO IMPLEMENT FUNCTIONALITY FOR THIS SLIDER
'DisplayName','Width', ...
'Mapping',{'pow',2,0,4},...
'Layout', [1,2],...
'Style','vslider'),...
audioPluginGridLayout('RowHeight',[300,20],'ColumnWidth', [100,100]));
end
methods
%functionality for gain slider
function out = process(plugin, in)
linAmp = 10 ^ (plugin.Gain/20);
out = in * linAmp;
end
%HOW DO I IMPLEMENT THIS FUNCTIONALITY FOR MY WIDTH SLIDER??
% x = [in(:,1) + in(:,2), in(:,1) - in(:,2)];
% y = [x(:,1), x(:,2)*plugin.Width];
% out = [(y(:,1) + y(:,2))/2, (y(:,1) - y(:,2))/2];
function reset(plugin)
plugin.Gain = 1;
% plugin.Width = 1;
end
function set.Gain(plugin, val)
plugin.Gain = val;
end
% function set.Width(plugin, val)
% plugin.Width = val;
% end
end
end
This is the code of my main programm which uses the plugin, to tune input audio live.
%main script
deviceReader = audioDeviceReader(16000,1000); %sample rate (frames per sec), samples per frame
%deviceReader.ChannelMappingSource = 'Property' %use two channels
setup(deviceReader);
deviceWriter = audioDeviceWriter('SampleRate',deviceReader.SampleRate);
plugin = VoicePlugin();
controllGain = parameterTuner(plugin);
drawnow
%pause(1)
% scope = timescope()
disp('Begin Signal Input...')
%tic
while ishandle(controllGain)
mySignal = deviceReader(); %mySignal is a matrix, rows = samples per frame, columns = audio channels
myProcessedSignal = process(plugin, mySignal);
deviceWriter(myProcessedSignal);
% scope(myProcessedSignal);
% break;
drawnow limitrate
end
disp('End Signal Input')
release(deviceReader)
release(deviceWriter)
Thank you in advance!

Hi Laurids,
The process function defines how the output is computed based on the input and plugin property values. Maybe I am miunderstanding your issue, but something like this should wrok (it is up to you to change the process code to do what you want):
classdef VoicePlugin < audioPlugin
properties
Gain = 1;
Width = 1;
end
properties (Constant)
PluginInterface = audioPluginInterface(audioPluginParameter('Gain',...
'DisplayName','Gain', ...
'Mapping',{'lin',-48,12}, ...
'Layout',[1,1], ...
'Style','vslider'), ...
audioPluginParameter('Width', ...
'DisplayName','Width', ...
'Mapping',{'pow',2,0,4},...
'Layout', [1,2],...
'Style','vslider'),...
audioPluginGridLayout('RowHeight',[300,20],'ColumnWidth', [100,100]));
end
methods
function out = process(plugin, in)
linAmp = 10 ^ (plugin.Gain/20);
x = [in(:,1) + in(:,2), in(:,1) - in(:,2)];
y = [x(:,1), x(:,2)*plugin.Width];
out = linAmp * [(y(:,1) + y(:,2))/2, (y(:,1) - y(:,2))/2];
end
function set.Gain(plugin, val)
plugin.Gain = val;
end
function set.Width(plugin, val)
plugin.Width = val;
end
end
end
