WetDry

Overview

2-input x 1-output smoothly varying mixer

Discussion

This module implements a 2-input x 1-output mixer with a single mix level. The first input is Dry signal and second input is Wet signal to be mixed with Dry signal. The parameter mix determine how much input1 is to be added to first input. If mix = 0.0 then only the first input is routed to output and if mix = 1.0 then second input is routed to output. The module has second argument to select mixing type. If the MIXTYPE = 0 then output = (1 - mix) * input1 + (mix) * input2. If MIXTYPE = 1 then output = (1 - mix)2 * input1 + (mix)2 * input2.

The module supports mulichannel input and the mixing is performed on per channel of input pins. When the module is bypassed, the first input will be copied to output

Matlab Usage

File Name: wet_dry_module.m 
 M=wet_dry_module(NAME, MIXTYPE) 
 Creates a smoothly varying multichannel WetDry module for use in  
 the Audio Weaver environment. The WetDry has two inputs and  
 one output pin. Each of the pins can contain multiple interleaved  
 channels. The number of input channels is determined by the upstream 
 audio module. User can select between constant energy or constant  
 amplitude mixing.   

 Arguments: 
   NAME - name of the module. 
   MIXTYPE - Type of mixing, constant energy or constant amplitude. 
             0 - Constant amplitude mixing 
             1 - Constant energy mixing
