ScalerNSmoothedFract32
Overview
Smoothly varying linear scaler Fract32 module with independent gains
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. 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.
ScalerNFract32 is an unsmoothed version of this module.

Matlab Usage
File Name: scalern_smoothed_fract32_module.m
M=scalern_smoothed_fract32_module(NAME)
The scaler operates on fractional 32-bit values. By default, the scaler
has a single multichannel input and scales all channels by the same
value. Arguments:
NAME - name of the module.
