utility's Issues

Add Pan control

Use 3 db Pan law.

Add ability to use dual gain controls

Add a second gain control and a toggle between stereo (controls are linked) and dual mono.

To keep the interface clean, the second knob would only display if in dual mode.

On switching to dual, both controls would be set to the value of the stereo knob.
On switching to stero, the control would get the average of the two knobs.

The second control will be labelled gain2 as a parameter.
In stereo, only "gain" will be followed.
In dual, "gain" will be the left and "gain2" will be the right.

Add DC Offset filter

Using simple hgh pass

f = corner frequency (say 20 hz)
S = sample rate
alpha = 1 / (( 2 * pi * f / S) + 1)

out[i] = alpha * ( out[i-1] + in[i] - in[i-1] )

• we would need to store the final values across calls to process_block
• The stored value would need to be set to zero on stop/start and looping
• I don't think gliding between settings would be needed.

Default for the gain is "-0.00"

Looks a tad weird.

Add ability to show only the gain and pan controls

Add menu item so that the user can toggle between the full interface and an abreviated UI with just the pan and gain control.

teach create-deb to pdate the version in the control

parameterize the control file and teach create-deb how to update it to have the current version pulled from CMake.

Add pluginval for validations

Add the use of pluginval as a validation step.
