WELCOME TO WAVEWARP !
NOTE: TO STOP THIS EXAMPLE DRAWINGBOARD OPENING EVERYTIME YOU SELECT WAVEWARP FROM
WITHIN YOUR DIRECTX HOST APPLICATION, THEN "BRING WAVEWARP TO THE FRONT", GO TO THE
OPTIONS->GENERAL MENU AND CHECK THE BOX LABELLED "Suppress auto-loading of Welcome DrawingBoards"
This simple DrawingBoard provides a basic introduction to WaveWarp's powerful DirectX plugin functionality. It illustrates
how to build a mono digital delay DirectX effect plugin using a delay block and a mixer to blend the delayed signal with the
original. The DirectX Input Port provides WaveWarp with real-time data "sent" from the DirectX Host Application (e.g. a
DirectX-enabled audio editor/sequencer). The DirectX Output Port "returns" the processed data to the Direct X Host
Application.
Play around with the slider settings in the delay and mixer parameter windows to adjust the parameters of the effect.
on-the-fly.
Try modifying the effect by "Bringing WaveWarp to the Front" then replacing the Simple Delay with a different effect block
from the Component Library. After some clicking-and-dragging, you will quickly become acquainted with the simple yet
extremely powerful WaveWarp interface. Explore the other Example DrawingBoards to sample the many features of the program.
Note that this DrawingBoard exemplifies a conventional "two-way" plugin i.e. whereby the audio data is "sent" from
the audio editor/sequencer, processed by the WaveWarp plugin, then "returned" to the audio editor/sequencer.
WaveWarp also allows you to build "one-way" plugins, whereby the data is tranferred only "one-way" between the
audio editor/sequencer and WaveWarp. See for example "DirectXstereoOneWaySend.dwb" and
"DirectXstereoOneWayReturn.dwb"
HINT: YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY WAVEWARP DRAWINGBOARD AS A DIRECTX MONO PLUGIN -- NOT JUST THE
ONES CONTAINED IN THIS "DirectX/Mono" CATEGORY. WAVEWARP WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT ANY
DRAWINGBOARD INTO THE REQUIRED FORMAT. THE PRE-CONVERTED EXAMPLES IN THIS DIRECTORY
ARE SIMPLY TO DEMONSTRATE THE EXPLICIT FORMAT OF MONO DIRECTX DRAWINGBOARDS. SO, AFTER
YOU'VE TRIED THESE, JUST BROWSE TO ANY OTHER EXAMPLE DRAWINGBOARD IN THE ENTIRE DISTRIBUTION --
OR BETTER STILL, GO INTO WAVEWARP AND BUILD YOUR OWN!
