Very Basic Usage of AudioProcessorGraph

[hyakken]

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out how to use AudioProcessorGraph.
I made simple plugin following this post.

AudioProcessorGraph for a VST Plugin

I've pasted some code from different places, so I hope it all makes sense. This is the main filter: .h class MyFilter : public AudioProcessor, public ChangeBroadcaster { public: MyFilter(); ~MyFilter(); void prepareToPlay (double sampleRate, int samplesPerBlock); void releaseResources(); void processBlock (AudioSampleBuffer& buffer, MidiBuffer& midiMessages); AudioProcessorEditor* createEditor(); const String getName() const; int getNumParameters(); float getParameter (…

Signal path is like this

Audio In —> myProcessor ------> Audio Out

private:

AudioProcessorGraph  myGraph_;
AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor*     ioProcIn_;
AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor*     ioProcOut_;
AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor*     ioProcMidiIn_;
AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor*     ioProcMidiOut_;

AudioProcessorGraph::Node::Ptr                  ioProcInNode_;
AudioProcessorGraph::Node::Ptr                  ioProcOutNode_;
AudioProcessorGraph::Node::Ptr                  ioProcMidiInNode_;
AudioProcessorGraph::Node::Ptr                  ioProcMidiOutNode_;

MyAudioProcessor* myProcessor;

constructor:
ioProcIn_ = new AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor
(AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor::audioInputNode);
ioProcOut_ = new AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor (AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor::audioOutputNode);
ioProcMidiIn_ = new AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor (AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor::midiInputNode);
ioProcInNode_ = myGraph_.addNode(ioProcIn_);
ioProcOutNode_ = myGraph_.addNode (ioProcOut_);
ioProcMidiInNode_ = myGraph_.addNode (ioProcMidiIn_);

    AudioProcessorGraph::Node* sbNode = myGraph_.addNode (myProcessor = new MyAudioProcessor());
    myProcessor->setNodeID (sbNode->nodeId);

prepareToPlay:

myGraph_.setPlayConfigDetails (getTotalNumInputChannels(), getTotalNumOutputChannels(), sampleRate, samplesPerBlock);
myGraph_.prepareToPlay (sampleRate, samplesPerBlock);

myGraph_.addConnection (myProcessor->getNodeID(), 0, ioProcOutNode_->nodeId, 0);
myGraph_.addConnection (myProcessor->getNodeID(), 1, ioProcOutNode_->nodeId, 1);

processBlock:
myGraph_.processBlock (buffer, midiMessages);

My plugin crashes immediately.

Could anyone point me what is wrong?

Thank you for your help.

Check out my post in the now deprecated thread:

(DEPRECATED) The ultimate JUCE 4.1 MultiBus Guide

Okay – I modified the MultiOutSynth to use an AudioProcessorGraph which shows the issue… https://www.dropbox.com/s/734q6proex4kcyn/MultiOutSynth.cpp?dl=0 I’m not using the AudioProcessorGraph in the processBlock in this example… the issues lie outside there. Rail

Thank you for your reply.

I just tried your code.
But I got some errors.

/JUCE/examples/PlugInSamples/MultiOutSynth/Source/MultiOutSynth.cpp:83:72: Only virtual member functions can be marked 'override'

It seems all those are related to setPreferredBusArrangement.

setPreferredBusArrangement is no longer available?
I’m on Projucer v4.3.1.

Thank you for your help.

[railjonrogut]

Yes, that code in JUCE is deprecated… but the code on how to integrate the AudioProcessorGraph is still the same… so there’s enough in there to show you what to do with a new 4.3.1 JUCE project

Rail

[hyakken]

Sorry I didn’t know the “deprecated” means.

I modified my code by referring to yours.
But still no luck.

    myGraph_->releaseResources();
}

void AudioGraphTestAudioProcessor::processBlock (AudioSampleBuffer& buffer, MidiBuffer& midiMessages)
{
    myGraph_->processBlock(buffer, midiMessages);
}

myGraph_->processBlock(buffer, midiMessages);

Is this OK?

If I do this, my plugin doesn’t crash.
myAudioProcessor_->processBlock(buffer, midiMessages);

But with this way AudioProcessorGraph doesn’t do anything.

[railjonrogut]

myAudioProcessor_ = new MyAudioProcessor();

Instead of an AudioProcessor you’d need an AudioPluginInstance object if you’re trying to host a plugin

Rail

[hyakken]

My goal is handling my effect processors with AudioProcessorGraph.
So I need to figure out how to handle AudioProcessor with AudioProcessorGraph.

I tried to make very simple signal path with AudioProcessorGraph.

Inside of my plugin:
audio in —> myAudioProcessor ----> audio out

    myAudioProcessor_ = new MyAudioProcessor();
    myAudioProcessor_->setPlayConfigDetails (getTotalNumInputChannels(), getTotalNumOutputChannels(), 44100.0, 512);
    myAudioUnit_ = myGraph_->addNode(myAudioProcessor_);
    
    myGraph_->addConnection(ioProcInNode_->nodeId, 0, myAudioUnit_->nodeId, 0);
    myGraph_->addConnection(ioProcInNode_->nodeId, 1, myAudioUnit_->nodeId, 1);
    
    myGraph_->addConnection(myAudioUnit_->nodeId, 0, ioProcOutNode_->nodeId, 0);
    myGraph_->addConnection(myAudioUnit_->nodeId, 1, ioProcOutNode_->nodeId, 1);

Are these connections correct?
I tired to connect audio input of my plugin to audio input of myAudioProceeesor.
And audio out of myAudioProcessor to audio out of my plugin.

[railjonrogut]

What’s your myAudioProceeesor doing in it’s processBlock() ?

Rail

[hyakken]

void MyAudioProcessor::prepareToPlay (double sampleRate, int estimatedSamplesPerBlock)
{
    setPlayConfigDetails (2, 2, sampleRate, estimatedSamplesPerBlock);
    
}
void MyAudioProcessor::releaseResources(){}

void MyAudioProcessor::processBlock (AudioSampleBuffer& buffer, MidiBuffer& midiMessages)
{

}

myAudioProcessor does nothing currently.

[hyakken]

It seems my connections have problem.

Does this mean none of connections are available?

[hyakken]

I don’t know why but if I do following stuff in prepareToPlay rather than its constructor,
those connections become available,
But still my plugin crashes immediately.

void AudioGraphTestAudioProcessor::prepareToPlay (double sampleRate, int samplesPerBlock)
{
    ignoreUnused (samplesPerBlock);
    
    myGraph_->setPlayConfigDetails (getTotalNumInputChannels(), getTotalNumOutputChannels(), 44100.0, 512);

    ioProcOut_        = new AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor (AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor::audioOutputNode);
    ioProcMidiIn_     = new AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor (AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor::midiInputNode);
    ioProcMidiOut_    = new AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor (AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor::midiInputNode);
    
    ioProcInNode_     = myGraph_->addNode (ioProcIn_);
    ioProcOutNode_    = myGraph_->addNode (ioProcOut_);
    ioProcMidiInNode_ = myGraph_->addNode (ioProcMidiIn_);
    ioProcMidiOutNode_= myGraph_->addNode (ioProcMidiOut_);
    
    myGraph_->addConnection (ioProcMidiInNode_->nodeId,  juce::AudioProcessorGraph::midiChannelIndex,
                             ioProcMidiOutNode_->nodeId, juce::AudioProcessorGraph::midiChannelIndex);
    
    myAudioProcessor_ = new MyAudioProcessor();
    myAudioProcessor_->setPlayConfigDetails (getTotalNumInputChannels(), getTotalNumOutputChannels(), 44100.0, 512);
    myAudioUnit_ = myGraph_->addNode(myAudioProcessor_);
    
    myGraph_->setRateAndBufferSizeDetails (sampleRate, samplesPerBlock);
    myGraph_->prepareToPlay (sampleRate, samplesPerBlock);
    
    myGraph_->addConnection(ioProcInNode_->nodeId, 0, myAudioUnit_->nodeId, 0);
    myGraph_->addConnection(ioProcInNode_->nodeId, 1, myAudioUnit_->nodeId, 1);
    
    myGraph_->addConnection(myAudioUnit_->nodeId, 0, ioProcOutNode_->nodeId, 0);
    myGraph_->addConnection(myAudioUnit_->nodeId, 1, ioProcOutNode_->nodeId, 1);
