WaveWarp 2.0 Component
      
Dynamic Range Controllers:
Functional Description
Special-purpose component for
implementing a "noise-gate static curve" for use in the
element-by-element construction of a dynamic range noise-gate.
The control signal input is assumed to originate from the mean-square
measurement
of an audio signal, converted to a logarithmic scale in base-2.
This "dB" signal measurement
is compared with the noise-gate threshold
(adjustable via the Parameter Window). If the signal is below
the threshold, the control output is set to zero,
otherwise it is set
to one.
It is intended that the output is used directly as a gain value.
IMPORTANT: This component is not intended for any use
other than the specialised application described above.
Algorithm
See
[Zo]
section 7.1 for an explanation of "static curves",
and section 7.3.2 for a discussion specific to the implementation
of a "noise-gate static curve".
