Detailed Description

STK abstract unit generator parent class.

This class provides limited common functionality for STK unit generator sample-source subclasses. It is general enough to support both monophonic and polyphonic output classes.

Member Function Documentation

◆ tick()

virtual StkFrames & stk::Generator::tick ( StkFrames frames,
unsigned int  channel = 0 
)
pure virtual

Fill the StkFrames object with computed sample frames, starting at the specified channel.

The channel argument plus the number of output channels must be less than the number of channels in the StkFrames argument (the first channel is specified by 0). However, range checking is only performed if STK_DEBUG is defined during compilation, in which case an out-of-range value will trigger an StkError exception.

Implemented in stk::ADSR, stk::Asymp, stk::Blit, stk::BlitSaw, stk::BlitSquare, stk::Envelope, stk::Granulate, stk::Modulate, stk::Noise, stk::SineWave, and stk::SingWave.
