Detailed Description

STK abstract FM synthesis base class.

This class controls an arbitrary number of waves and envelopes, determined via a constructor argument.

Control Change Numbers:

The basic Chowning/Stanford FM patent expired in 1995, but there exist follow-on patents, mostly assigned to Yamaha. If you are of the type who should worry about this (making money) worry away.

by Perry R. Cook and Gary P. Scavone, 1995 - 2004.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FM::FM unsigned int  operators = 4  ) 
 

Class constructor, taking the number of wave/envelope operators to control.

An StkError will be thrown if the rawwave path is incorrectly set.


Member Function Documentation

virtual StkFrames& FM::tick StkFrames frames,
unsigned int  channel = 1
[pure virtual]
 

Fill a channel of the StkFrames object with computed outputs.

The channel argument should be one or greater (the first channel is specified by 1). An StkError will be thrown if the channel argument is zero or it is greater than the number of channels in the StkFrames object.

Reimplemented from Instrmnt.

Implemented in BeeThree, FMVoices, HevyMetl, PercFlut, Rhodey, TubeBell, and Wurley.
