Hello,
I try to do an augmented plugin object. (with more function like dry, wet, gain in, gain out)
I would like to have a class AugmentedAudioPluginInstance which inherit from AudioPluginInstance, with a ctor like this :
AugmentedAudioPluginInstance::AugmentedAudioPluginInstance(AudioPluginInstance* plug);
But I didn't found a pretty way to implement this now.
Could someone please guide me ?
Thanks a lot,
Louis
hi,
in AudioPluginInstance, it is written :
This class is not needed when writing plugins, and you should never need to derive
your own sub-classes from it. The plugin hosting classes use it internally and will
return AudioPluginInstance objects which wrap external plugins.
I think you want to inherit from AudioProcessor instead
Hi lalala,
Why not, but what i would like to do is to keep all my object properties. Even with an Audioprocessor object, the only solution i found is to use composition instead of inheritance, like this :
void processBlock(...){
memberPlugin->processBlock(...);
}
I have to do it for each method, which does a lot of useless code and useless overheads.
no, you should totally use inheritance :
class AugmentedAudioPluginInstance : public AudioProcessor
{
};
that's should be fine!
here is recent open source project if you need an example of such a pluginAudioProcessor :
https://github.com/semanticaudio/SAFE/blob/master/JuceModules/SAFE_juce_module/PluginUtils/SAFEAudioProcessor.h
https://github.com/semanticaudio/SAFE/blob/master/JuceModules/SAFE_juce_module/PluginUtils/SAFEAudioProcessor.cpp
obviously there's many thing in there that you don't want, but that should get you started pretty well. and the code style is totally jucy! :)
Thank you for your response lalala,
But with your code you can't create an SAFEAudioProcessor from an existing AudioProcessor, and that is what I'm trying to do.
Okay,
So I did a class inheriting from AudioProcessor, with a private member AudioProcessor mPlugin
I overrided every function from AudioProcessor, and now it works fine.
I also overrided AudioProcessorEditor to enlarge the window and put 4 new knobs (dry, wet, gain In gain out)
I will clean the code before posting.
Thanks you for your help lalala and good night,
Louis
