synthesizer-dimensional-0.7.0.2: Audio signal processing with static physical dimensions

Safe HaskellNone

Synthesizer.Dimensional.Rate.Dirac

Synopsis

Documentation

newtype T s sig Source

We want to represent streams of discrete events in a manner that is more safe than plain [Bool]. Each peak can be imagined as a Dirac impulse.

A [Bool] could be used accidentally for selectBool, where selectBool is intended for piecewise constant control curves.

You may think that a type like Peak = Peak Bool as sample type in T s Peak would also do the job. Actually, this wouldn't be a good idea since you can apply constant interpolation on it, which obviously fools the idea of a peak.

This type is so level that it could be moved to Synthesizer.Generic.Dirac.

This is the most frequently needed transformation of a stream of peaks, if not the only one. It converts to a signal of peaks with area 1. This convention is especially useful for smoothing filters that produce frequency progress curves from zero crossings.
