Audio Router Module?

[MarkT]

As aside about switches - its been briefly mentioned above I think, but hard switching of audio is going to
produce potentially loud and annoying clicks, since truncating a waveform is equivalent to the sound of
a sharp impact.

You need a band-limited method for cross-fading if you want live switching to work professionally (ie
click-free), which means a quality "cross-bar switch" would be a wrapper for an array of fade effects.

The same issue affects the mixer class, except that often the gain settings on a mixer are typically
ramped up and down rather than hard switched between 0 and 1. Ramping reduces the audibility
of the clicks.

In the days of analog mixing desks switching would often be done with JFETs with an RC low-pass
filter on the gate electrode to ensure switching happened slow enough to avoid clicks.

But I think this will just be a alternative to do
switching by patching AudioConnections

but in a more elegant way.

and when doing patch work for reconfiguration
the output should first be muted to avoid clicks.

I am currently using dynamic patch connections, but they have issues as well as there is a bug with them ( https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/64446...-Bug-A-new-one! ) that I can't solve. Hopefully Paul will have time to look at it someday!

For what I'm doing it would be easy enough to mute the outputs before swapping from straight through to crossed. Since my goal is to make a 2x2 both outputs would be changing at the same time.

I'm not that skilled in C++, but I'm interested in your comment about importing custom libraries into the audio tool!

Yes I have also read about the Dynamic connections bug.

I'm not that skilled in C++, but I'm interested in your comment about importing custom libraries into the audio tool!

The current state is now.
Can
* add/edit/remove custom node def. groups
* add/edit/remove custom node def.
* import and parse from github URL with
.h files containing special //GUI: tags
for example https://github.com/chipaudette/OpenA...pressor2_F32.h line 127-128

Cannot yet
* Import from a index.html
* import help
* import custom Editors (needed when using Audio objects that have arbitrary inputs/outputs)
* automatic download of used lib. files

It's available in the tool right main menu
And is called "Node definition manager"

I will post complete documentation on the "modified tool" thread when everything is working.
