dsp-interface

Basic DSP Interface

npm install dsp-interface

Require this real-time, socketed HTML5 / Touch compatible interface for some of your DSP needs. It returns just two arrays, values and and exponents.

var mui = require('dsp-interface');

mui.val[0] = 0 - 11 inclsuive, interval 1  
mui.val[1] = 10 - 11 inclusive, interval 1
mui.val[2] = -12 - 12 inclusive, interval 1 
mui.val[3-9] = 0.0 - 9.9 inslcusive, interval 0.1

mui.epx[0-1] = 0
mui.exp[2-9] = 0-3 inclusive, inetrval 1

POSTED: This is a string transporting, float parsing, pseudo midi signal! The GUI is a clumsy, DOM based implementation with non-continunous values! And I traded multi-touch non working range sliders for single touch capable sliders that actually work... so it works on the ipad.

Future version will be nice tho: binary transport, real midi, canvas face, continuous value ranges.

The interface has 10 range sliders, and 8 corresponding exponents buttons.

var gui = require('dsp-interface');

gui.start(5001); // optional port, defaults to 8012

gui.val // a length 10 array
gui.exp // a length 10 array ([0] and [1] are always zero);

function(time){
  return Math.sin( time * Math.PI * ( gui.val[3] * Math.pow(10, gui.exp[3]) ))
}

You can set your initial values

var mui = require('dsp-interface');

var values = [1, 1, -10, 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 5.5, 6.9, 8.2]; // there are 10 range sliders

var exponents = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3]; // also ten, but only 8 lines have exponent switches. The first two indecies will always be zero!!!!!!

mui.start(5001, values, exponents)

the interface will start at those values

API

interface.val

• val[0] and val[1] have range [0,11] inclusive to correspond with either cranking it past ten, or for 12 octaves for each of the 12 note classes in the western scale. Why 12 octaves? You can't hear 7 hertz, but you can feel it!

• val[2]'s range is [-12, 12] inclusive (for semitones). It is the only line with negative values.

• vals 3-9 have range [0, .9.9] at intervals of 0.1.

interface.exp

• ui.exp channels 2-9 return values 0-3, meant to be used to define the exponent for the their corresponding channels values. exp[0] and exp[1] are always zero.

• exp[0] and exp[1] are not used, and always zero

TODO:

• Add incr / decr buttons to range sliders
• Add on/off punch buttons
• Add placeholders for values you want to come back to
