ampmidicurve

ampmidicurve — Maps an input MIDI velocity number to an output gain factor with a maximum value of 1, modifying the output gain by a dynamic range and a shaping exponent.

Description

Plugin opcode in ampmidid.

Maps an input MIDI velocity number to an output gain factor with a maximum value of 1, modifying the output gain by a dynamic range and a shaping exponent. The minimum output gain is 1 minus the dynamic range. A shaping exponent of 1 gives a linear response; increasing the exponent produces an increasingly depressed knee in the gain response curve.

Syntax

igain ampmidicurve ivelocity, idynamicrange, iexponent
kgain ampmidicurve kvelocity, kdynamicrange, kexponent

Initialization

imidivelocity -- MIDI velocity number, ranging from 0 through 127.

idynamicrange -- Intended dynamic range of gain, from 0 through 1.

iexponent -- Exponent applied to shape the gain response curve, 1 or greater.

Performance

kmidivelocity -- MIDI velocity number, ranging from 0 through 127.

kdynamicrange -- Intended dynamic range of gain, from 0 through 1.

kexponent -- Exponent applied to shape the gain response curve, 1 or greater.

Maps an input MIDI velocity number to an output gain factor with a maximum value of 1, modifying the output gain by a dynamic range and a shaping exponent. The minimum output gain is 1 minus the dynamic range. A shaping exponent of 1 gives a linear response; increasing the exponent produces an increasingly depressed knee in the gain response curve, according to the equation: y = d * (x/127)^h + 1 - d, where y = the gain, x = the input MIDI velocity (from 0 through 127), d = the dynamic range (from p through 1), and h = the shaping exponent (1 or greater). This opcode was suggested by Mauro Giubileo.

Examples

Here is an example of the ampmidicurve opcode. It uses the file ampmidicurve.csd.
