ScalerNDBSmoothedFract32
Overview
Smoothly varying linear Fract32 scaler with independent gains in dB units
Discussion
Multichannel scaler, where each input channel has its own individual smoothly varying gain value. The gain parameter consists of an array of gains, one per input/output channel with units of dB. All gain parameters are exponentially smoothed (first order IIR) at the sample rate, with the smoothingTime parameter determining the smoothing rate for all of the gain values.
