float minValue,
float maxValue,
float defaultValue,
std::string name = "",
std::string unit = "",
float displayBase = 0.f,
float displayMultiplier = 1.f,
float displayOffset = 0.f )
inline

Helper for creating a ParamQuantity and setting its properties.

See ParamQuantity for documentation of arguments. Should only be called from a Module subclass's constructor.

◆ configSwitch()

template<class TSwitchQuantity = SwitchQuantity>
TSwitchQuantity * rack::engine::Module::configSwitch ( int paramId,
float minValue,
float maxValue,
float defaultValue,
std::string name = "",
std::vector< std::string > labels = {} )
inline

Helper for creating a SwitchQuantity and setting its label strings.

See ParamQuantity and SwitchQuantity for documentation of arguments. Should only be called from a Module subclass's constructor.

◆ configButton()

template<class TSwitchQuantity = SwitchQuantity>
TSwitchQuantity * rack::engine::Module::configButton ( int paramId,
std::string name = "" )
inline

Helper for creating a SwitchQuantity with no label.

Should only be called from a Module subclass's constructor.

◆ configInput()

template<class TPortInfo = PortInfo>
TPortInfo * rack::engine::Module::configInput ( int portId,
std::string name = "" )
inline

Helper for creating a PortInfo for an input port and setting its properties.

See PortInfo for documentation of arguments. Should only be called from a Module subclass's constructor.

◆ configOutput()

template<class TPortInfo = PortInfo>
TPortInfo * rack::engine::Module::configOutput ( int portId,
std::string name = "" )
inline

Helper for creating a PortInfo for an output port and setting its properties.

See PortInfo for documentation of arguments. Should only be called from a Module subclass's constructor.

◆ configLight()

template<class TLightInfo = LightInfo>
TLightInfo * rack::engine::Module::configLight ( int lightId,
std::string name = "" )
inline

Helper for creating a LightInfo and setting its properties.

For multi-colored lights, use the first lightId. See LightInfo for documentation of arguments. Should only be called from a Module subclass's constructor.

◆ configBypass()

void rack::engine::Module::configBypass ( int inputId,
int outputId )
inline

Adds a direct route from an input to an output when the module is bypassed.

Should only be called from a Module subclass's constructor.

◆ createPatchStorageDirectory()

std::string rack::engine::Module::createPatchStorageDirectory ( )

Creates and returns the module's patch storage directory path.

Do not call this method in process() since filesystem operations block the audio thread.

Throws an Exception if Module is not yet added to the Engine. Therefore, you may not call these methods in your Module constructor. Instead, load patch storage files in onAdd() and save them in onSave().

Patch storage files of deleted modules are garbage collected when user saves the patch. To allow the Undo feature to restore patch storage if the module is accidentally deleted, it is recommended to not delete patch storage in onRemove().

◆ getPatchStorageDirectory()

std::string rack::engine::Module::getPatchStorageDirectory ( )

◆ getModel()

plugin::Model * rack::engine::Module::getModel ( )
inline

Getters for members.

◆ getId()

int64_t rack::engine::Module::getId ( )
inline

◆ getNumParams()

inline

◆ getExpander()

inline

Returns the left Expander for side = 0 and the right Expander for side = 1.

◆ process()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::process ( const ProcessArgs & args)
inlinevirtual

Advances the module by one audio sample.

Override this method to read Inputs and Params and to write Outputs and Lights.

◆ step()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::step ( )
inlinevirtual

DEPRECATED.

Override process(const ProcessArgs& args) instead.

◆ processBypass()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::processBypass ( const ProcessArgs & args)
virtual

Called instead of process() when Module is bypassed.

Typically you do not need to override this. Use configBypass() instead. If you do override it, avoid reading param values, since the state of the module should have no effect on routing.

◆ toJson()

virtual json_t * rack::engine::Module::toJson ( )
virtual

Usually you should override dataToJson() instead.

There are very few reasons you should override this (perhaps to lock a mutex while serialization is occurring).

◆ fromJson()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::fromJson ( json_t * rootJ)
virtual

This is virtual only for the purpose of unserializing legacy data when you could set properties of the .modules[] object itself.

Normally you should override dataFromJson(). Remember to call Module::fromJson(rootJ) within your overridden method.

◆ paramsToJson()

virtual json_t * rack::engine::Module::paramsToJson ( )
virtual

Serializes the "params" object.

◆ paramsFromJson()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::paramsFromJson ( json_t * rootJ)
virtual

◆ dataToJson()

virtual json_t * rack::engine::Module::dataToJson ( )
inlinevirtual

Override to store extra internal data in the "data" property of the module's JSON object.

◆ dataFromJson()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::dataFromJson ( json_t * rootJ)
inlinevirtual

Override to load internal data from the "data" property of the module's JSON object.

Not called if "data" property is not present.

◆ onAdd() [1/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onAdd ( const AddEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

Called after adding the module to the Engine.

◆ onRemove() [1/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onRemove ( const RemoveEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

Called before removing the module from the Engine.

◆ onBypass()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onBypass ( const BypassEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

Called after bypassing the module.

◆ onUnBypass()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onUnBypass ( const UnBypassEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

Called after enabling the module.

◆ onPortChange()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onPortChange ( const PortChangeEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

Called after a cable connects to or disconnects from a port.

This event is not called for output ports if a stackable cable was added/removed and did not change the port's connected state.

◆ onSampleRateChange() [1/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onSampleRateChange ( const SampleRateChangeEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

Called when the Engine sample rate changes, and when the Module is added to the Engine.

◆ onExpanderChange()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onExpanderChange ( const ExpanderChangeEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

Called after an expander is added, removed, or changed on either the left or right side of the Module.

◆ onReset() [1/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onReset ( const ResetEvent & e)
virtual

Called when the user resets (initializes) the module.

The default implementation resets all parameters to their default value, so you must call Module::onReset(e) in your overridden method if you want to keep this behavior.

◆ onRandomize() [1/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onRandomize ( const RandomizeEvent & e)
virtual

Called when the user randomizes the module.

The default implementation randomizes all parameters by default, so you must call Module::onRandomize(e) in your overridden method if you want to keep this behavior.

◆ onSave()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onSave ( const SaveEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

Called when the user saves the patch to a file.

If your module uses patch asset storage, make sure all files are saved in this event.

◆ onSetMaster()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onSetMaster ( const SetMasterEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

◆ onUnsetMaster()

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onUnsetMaster ( const UnsetMasterEvent & e)
inlinevirtual

◆ onAdd() [2/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onAdd ( )
inlinevirtual

DEPRECATED.

Override onAdd(e) instead.

◆ onRemove() [2/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onRemove ( )
inlinevirtual

DEPRECATED.

Override onRemove(e) instead.

◆ onReset() [2/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onReset ( )
inlinevirtual

DEPRECATED.

Override onReset(e) instead.

◆ onRandomize() [2/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onRandomize ( )
inlinevirtual

DEPRECATED.

Override onRandomize(e) instead.

◆ onSampleRateChange() [2/2]

virtual void rack::engine::Module::onSampleRateChange ( )
inlinevirtual

DEPRECATED.

Override onSampleRateChange(e) instead.

◆ isBypassed()

bool rack::engine::Module::isBypassed ( )

◆ setBypassed()

PRIVATE void rack::engine::Module::setBypassed ( bool bypassed)

◆ meterBuffer()

PRIVATE const float * rack::engine::Module::meterBuffer ( )

◆ meterLength()

PRIVATE int rack::engine::Module::meterLength ( )

◆ meterIndex()

PRIVATE int rack::engine::Module::meterIndex ( )

◆ doProcess()

PRIVATE void rack::engine::Module::doProcess ( const ProcessArgs & args)

◆ jsonStripIds()

static PRIVATE void rack::engine::Module::jsonStripIds ( json_t * rootJ)
static

◆ setExpanderModule()
