The decay starts when the signal drops below threshold and stays there for longer than lookahead. Decay continues until the value reaches floor, at which point the decay stops and the value is held constant. Either during the decay or after the floor is reached, if the signal goes above threshold, then the output value will rise to 1.0 (0dB) at the point the signal crosses the threshold. Again, lookahead is used, so the rise actually starts before the signal crosses the threshold. The rise rate is constant and set so that a rise from floor to 0dB occurs in the specified risetime. Similarly, the fall rate is constant such that a fall from 0dB to the floor takes falltime. Rather than looking ahead, the output actually lags the input by lookahead. The caller should advance the time of the input signal in order to get a correct output signal, and this will be taken care of in Lisp code. The implementation is a finite-state machine that simultaneously computes the value and scans ahead for threshold crossings. Time points, remembered as sample counts are saved in variables: on_count -- the time at which the rise should complete off_count -- the time at which the fall should begin rise_factor -- multiply by this to get exponential rise fall_factor -- multiply by this to get exponential fall rise_samps -- number of samples for a full rise fall_samps -- number of samples for a full fall floor -- the lowest value to output threshold -- compare the signal s to this value start_rise -- the sample count at which a rise begins delay_len -- number of samples to look ahead, length of buffer state -- the current state of finite state machine (see the individual 'case' statements for description of states) value -- the current output value computing fall_factor: factor ^ (sample_rate * time) == floor log(factor) * sample_rate * time == log(floor) log(factor) == log(floor) / (sample_rate * time) factor == exp(log(floor) / (sample_rate * time)) */ void compute_start_rise(gate_susp_type susp) { /* to compute when to start rise to achieve 0dB at on_count: let frt = full rise time = rise_time, art = actual rise time, fft = full fall time = fall_time, aft = actual fall time If there's no time for a fft + frt, scale both the the fall time and rise times proportionally by available time / (fft + frt).
